Re: How much torque can the Dewalt Trannies take?

I'm not necessarily the best person on this subject but as far as I know we don't have any real numbers on the limit of the dewalts. Though the failures appeared to have similar simptoms, we managed to cause a different failure almost every time. This was running two cims through the dewalts on a 6 traction wheel drive (6 inch andymarks) with the center wheels dropped.

edit: originally we did break a few drive shafts but then we managed to chase the failures into the transmissions themselves
