What are the strength differences?
What are the strength differences?
A bigger U joint isn't your answer. A 1330 will get you up to 50 ft lbs from your engine and a 1410 would get about 80 ft lbs...Any way you slice it you need to stop power braking in 2WD low range.
WTF do you do that anyway?
I run a 1350. Broke the u-bolt style straps before the joint. If you have a drive shaft that is a 1310, can you just change the slip yoke to a 1350? Thats what I did. But I kinda have a bastard set-up.I have a 1350 slip yoke and a ford 9" yoke on my 8.8. So I have to buy 1350 yoke and a ford 9", use the caps off the 9 to fit. But I have been running napa's joints with no problems, they are pretty good size joints.
It wasnt like i was just power braking it. I only did that the first time. I was in two wd only because the front axle doesnt have the shafts in it. Every other time it broke i was in gear...LOW LOW it happened to be ....foot on the brake and i tapped the gas and boom.My worry is if it will break doing that how easy is it going to break on the trail. Will a bigger joint do the trick?
A bigger joint will help but you're always at risk of breaking things with compound low gears. You just have to be aware of what you're doing to keep from shitting parts.
You have alot less torque than me Jon. Im hoping that when i up grade the joint size it helps the breakage.
I probably will keep the klune in 1 to 1 as Im afraid of breaking now.:redneck: Do you think that 1330 will hold for a trip to the hammers?
Simple answer is yes.....What you need to understand is parts break when there is resistance. Power braking is what kills it. You could have a million ft lbs of torque coming from the engine and nothing will break if there isn't resistance. Wadding a tire does this same thing.
Now if you have other issues as well like maybe a joint angle issue it could break without much resistance at all.
Just take extra parts and wheel it!
I thought the 1330 was the bastard 1310/1350 cross.
I run 1350 and have broken everything(upstream/downstream) except the 1350's
Kinda jeff--its just an oddball when compared to a 1310/150 but the caps are all the same size.
