TRX CV Axle options

[chance]

I would too. That doesnt sound like a you (or your kick-ass setup) problem - it sounds like a testing/manufacturing problem which is 100% uncool. How long were they "testing" those axles before they were released - like forever!!

We've only got the poor-man's "800 package" lol (Predator/S&B/Chiller) but we're lifted and on 38s and occasionally offroad so still pretty rough on the ole CVs.

I'm not sure what the OEM axles can handle but haven't seen any break due to high hp applications. Did you run the 1000 package on the OEM axles?

Yeah I did and it worked fine other than the drivers side boot leaking grease but that was happening before all the mods.

Shortly after I got the cam work done I snapped the transmission output shaft so I sent the tranny off to sipple and got there max effort build done w/ a 3200 stall converter. The RCV axles were installed with the rebuilt transmission.

Then I put around 6k miles on that transmission before ZH tunes got around to sending me a tune file so I was pretty easy on truck until I got a proper tune for the tranny.

1 thing to note it after I got it tuned I did a couple 0-60 launches and heard some loud grinding noises coming from the front end so I immediately let off the throttle, there was also a burnt smell. I assumed it was my tires spinning but maybe it was something in the axles …

I would love to comfortable beat on this truck , soon maybe.

Man i would love to go for a rip in your truck but there's always issues with every build. I'm holding off as long as I can on doing an upper & tune. I've got enough reliability issues with a relatively stock engine setup as we beat on it pretty good offroad

So are these CV indestructible or no? But guessing the lifetime warranty is valid no matter your application?

You referring to the Rogue ones? We've already had 1 report the boot blew out so apparently not quite!

Yeah the rogue ones, my plans was to do diff drop those to ensure ultimate reliability but might have to lower my expectations

Yea unfortunately, nothing is full-proof and the boots will fail eventually no matter what. I'm pretty disappointed that the RCV (Rogue) ones have already taken a dump though. You'd think they would have at least gotten the premature boot failure thing dialed in

So is one diff drop better then the other? Looks like that’s the route I’m going to have to do. Is there a write up on the install. Want to see what I’m getting myself into before I do it. Want to see if it’s something I can get done before I leave for my trip on the 7th. Assuming I even get my truck back. Not even sure either company has them in stock.

Rogue is supposedly developing one themselves but i have my doubts about it. They came out with a CV axle "solution" where you send them your stock CVs and they re-boot them, regrease them/etc and clearly that didnt work so they partnered with RCV to develop the $4000 axles...1 year of testing goes by...they release the $4000 axles and now those boots are bursting same as the stock ones.

We did a full install video with all the do's and dont's of the Diff Drop Install:

Thanks! Yeah I watched your video. Sounds like a pain and not something I need to start with a time line. I also don’t have a plasma cutter.

How long/many miles on your boots now and I think you said you had one failure on my other thread right, but you also are a 2.5” on 38’s right?

What front bumper do you have?

We dont have a plasma cutter either! Wasn't too bad. Hardest thing was just getting diff lined back up with holes by yourself.

No failures since diff drop. About 7k miles since install.

Front and rear bumper is Bodyguard. Wouldn't have it any other way. Killer bumpers. We just got a killer discount code too "FTR"

Have you had any engine issues? You must have one of the more abused trucks out there haha

I could almost say nada but just noticed my rear main engine seal is leaking a few drops. Other than that 0 engine/tranny issues

I'll be at KOH/King of the Hammers next month for 48hrs... let me know if there are any related booths/contacts I can make. Some of the KOH rigs purposely run IFS for the best efficiency (varied terrain) but also/most often providing excellent R&D for other companies. https://kingofthehammers.com/

Research that helped Dynatrac become a supplier to Navistar and their SOTV-B (full front and rear IFS with a HiLux (or whatever 'geo' area to blend in).. running a Dana 80 with IFS in the rear (due to up armoring/payload requirements too! <- see flyer below! BC Customs now going full tilt with GSA/SPECOPS rigs has it's roots and proven durability testing/etc from KOH/similar competition -> https://www.bccdod.com/

Still think a SAS swap, perhaps Mr. Wick from Dynatrac's Defense selection? Adding some weight, but now adding wait (like your CV trail repairs), the ProRock Dana 80 F/R axles is business + party.

Thanks for your reply. Looks like this summer I’ll be doing that Lower kit.

So i heard through the grape vine that Wragth isnt going to restock the OnTrac diff drops b/c of customs/shipping logistics were killing profits. I believe he may be doing an in-house one down the line but not 100% on that. Might be worth snagging 1 of the 3 that are left in stock before they're gone

They aren’t actually in stock. Still waiting for the one I ordered. It’s been 4 weeks
