How much torque can the Dewalt Trannies take?
Has anyone driven the stock dewalt transmission components to failure, and if so, what did it take?

We're planning an offseason project that will interface three cims into the input of a single Dewalt. I know 2 cims has been done through a single Dewalt, but I think I'm probably riding the hairy edge of failure adding the third.

Anyone with some info on what I should expect to fail first? Standard input per the NBD whitepaper.
