Driveshaft is a bad subject for me right now. I have to learn to keep the worktruck under 120mph I was buzzing down a very deserted path of freeway for about 5 mins and threw a weight of my driveshaft on my Chec truck and cracked the entire 700r4 tailshaft housing in two pieces from the massive vibration it caused at that speed. It cracked all the way around at the point where the VSS mounts onto it. Oops. Parts ordered, it'll back up in two days

Thanks Dale for setting him straight. Yes its My personal work truck that I own and if someone is not familiar with it it will kick the crap out of most vehicle on this website.I will not even begin to list the modifications on this truck- I believe that list may be longer than the Camaro modification list. It is my personal vehicle that I drive every day of my life for the last 16 years, the Camaro was built for the wife to mainly drive.
