You’ll make a come back like always bro!!! Love your content. I live just north of you in Temecula. It’s funny to watch your videos and see a bunch of places I’ve been.
2 things: at least you’re ok, and also at least it was not something like the motor or transmission. I also just wanted to let you know that your f-100 inspires many including me, and I’m 16 looking for my first Mopar! I love the sound of your truck, and it reminds me a little of Dale Earnhardt’s 2000 Talladega car. Your truck is definitely a model for my muscle vehicle when I get one. Keep up the great videos!
If you don't already have one, put 1 or 2 driveshaft loops with containment tunnels in while the driveshaft is out since you're set on running a carbon driveshaft. That way it's protected somewhat from getting hit and hopefully won't leave you stranded again
dude soo many bots 🤣that highboy is a beaut, i saw one for sale in my town, 460 69 f250, they wanted like 4500 bucks a few years ago, i wish i woulda jumped on that 😅
not the first time I've seen these qa1 drive shafts fail. To me it is just not worth the marginal weigh savings. Even if it was a bolt a steel driveshaft isn't going to explode when road debris hits it. Regardless, I'm glad you're okay but maybe time for a driveshaft loop and a different driveshaft haha.
Didn't you have a square body 73-81 C-10 with the next generation 90's square body front clip? I saw the videos, sometime later I saw it/clone in Coronado, CA Around NAB. Unemployed Auto Tech here in South San Diego lookin for new shop.
Though you said being Carbon Fiber is one reason it didnt PoGo, would it be worth installing a hoop should anything like this happen again could it help to not damage other parts?
@@martinmetz8985 that’s right when they changed the frame 77 1/2. I have had horrible luck with both Ms 351 and 400. The 400 should have been good, but they needed a 4V for working and the funky cam timing like he 460 had in the same frame time.
Im not sure a giant bolt slamming into a steel driveshaft would make it fail at all... I'll defer to the experts but I'm not totally buying that this isnt a carbon fiber failure. It almost sounds like carbon fiber is more vulnerable to FOD damage. Either way glad the damage isnt worse than it is! Your videos always motivate me to get in my piece of shit and send it instead of hopping in the boring daily.
Are you tired of ford motors blowing up yet? A stock LS 6.0 will almost make the hp you had and a few mods on the LS it will make the 500 hp you have and it won't blow up, put a turbo with 17 lbs of boost and you have 1000 hp.
@@glenryan6569 I d put a Mercury 410 in it, bore it.020 for a 413 , 5500.6000,you won’t break that. Headers, 750 VS and a Comp 282S , 410 hp and 466 ft lbs on regular. Find a good pan and accusump for the way you like to drive.
Most important thing is your okay Craig, glad everything can be fixted and can't wait for the next one
That's just the "win stupid prizes" part of constant 7000 rpm pulls!
good thing it was only the driveshaft yoke. that motor still can do stuff
@@Toxic2T And here I thought it was another case of pushing 302 Windsors beyond their limits. Luckily it was just the driveline.
Man, going with steel driveshaft is the best way to go . No matter what you think or say Sir. Steel al the way.
Nice highboy in the beginning
Im building one right now in 1976 Hatteras Green

The spot yall went off-roading is like 10 min from my house me and my buddies used to do bonfires out there and ride dirtbikes 😂😂 so crazy to me
Then you have probably seen me cursing around town lol

News Flash! You're hard on stuff. Build it, break it, and repeat!
Qweg before he puts or installs said driveline need to invest in a driveshaft safety loop
The green truck is AWESOME
Thought you blew up the motor from the headline that would have REALLY sucked!
same.
Proper high boy is bump side.
It’s not great when a 1 piece driveshaft becomes a 2 piece involuntarily😂
a 23 min video on humpday ill take it thanks cwaig
Hey craig it’s ok that your carbon fiber driveshaft broke . You don’t have to blame it on lose u bolts. Part of it man .
The dent sides did not come with a sterling rear axle it would have been a dana 60 rear axle
Po swapped it in the 90s after he blew the 60. I blew the sterling he put in and put another sterling back in

Never seen any bots
@@2nickles647 they must've been deleted, cause there were a good 10 - 15 bot comments 🤣
Come to Southwest New Mexico I'll show you some mountains to climb
That does suck Craig! But it is fixable young man
The CHEVY GODS got you.. literally FORD found on road dead..
WoW you got Lucky Craig!
Both could have been much, much worse.
A head gasket on a 4.6, couple hours in the garage easy fix😎👍
Steel D/S would have started an F-100 pole vault contest on the 10 freeway.
Take That F 250 up a trail it might not make. Make it struggle a little.
Craig needs a 2wd first gen Cummins dually and a nv5600 and he no longer has to use the crew cab for cross country trips
Either way your driveshaft broke , but more importantly your safe , cars and trucks can be replaced people not so much . Cheers 🇨🇦
Why didn’t you have a dry shaft loop?
that 73 ford was my uncle’s truck ik that truck I used to climb all over that truck
Let’s see if your right lol. What’s his name ?

18:25 there had to have been a dent or a tear in the carbon fibre cuz that shiz doesn't just shear like that w/o a weak point.

Welp tike for a full blown ARCA motand a 4 speed Jericho hopefully 🤞
Great stuff thanks. Sorry about your vehicles.But it will make for good content
Number one love the videos

What is the gear ratio of the diff and what trans are you running.
The 360 was all they put on the F250 4x4.
77 had a 351m

Carbon driveshafts are not great for street driven vehicles.

Take it from ocean gate. Carbon fiber is not made well for repeated stress.
🤠🏴☠️
Time to coyote swap the town car.
Life is good
I don’t think it’s possible to catapult your vehicle from a driveshaft failure just my opinion
fords represents the weired hairdews
Craig I used to punish myself with Ford's dude try you one Chevy truck they will continue to run on 1 cylinder try one
