i mean stripped the splines off er .. no threads ... just a buzzing sound when you start it .. i had park and that was it ... the first time this happened they were puzzled that i had stripped the torque converter and nothin wrong with the tranny.. the tech said that he didn't even have to open the tranny .. just a little after a year i did a power take off and pumped the gas when it was shifting and she did the exact same thing again ... fawk... they asked me what the hell i was hauling .. i was just hauling me and nothing else .. i am around 200 pounds ... and no trailer each time this had happened .. i do not reccommend anyone to try this .. when you floor it .. just leave it on the floor .. do'nt get creative .. because this happened to me 2 times and after the TQ and towing and labour .. $800.00 bones ... yuppers ... not a good feeling .. i have since let up a little on the foot .. i just thought she could take it .. and now i am wondering if this has happened to anyone else.. let me know .. or if anything else like it .. 2008, 4.7 dakota slt .. lots of go ..

Bad news... I will be removing my stacks Tuesday.... It creates to much vibration/churn (what ever that noise is called) inside the cab, I honestly don't mind it, but I don't want it for my newborn son, coming by the end of the week!!! I'm so excited!! I'll post a pic of my new exhaust. Just finished painting my old tip.
