Default Broken Drive Shaft Pics.

Hope they work. This is why you shouldn't be ANYWHERE near a car on the dyno. A buddy of mine was dynoing his truck when the drive shaft snapped. The pic of the guy holding the drive shaft was that same day. The other piece was found the next morning stuck in the shed in the back of the dyno. That's wood it tore through!

I think it's an 03 Chevy. The guy at the dyno says it was because the pinion angle was all wrong. The guy had those hydrolics to lift and lower the truck.

The owner of the dyno says he's gonna leave it stuck in the wall so he can show everyone why he doesn't want anyone in near the dyno when he's making pulls.

That aluminum gets razor sharp when it tears like that. Did it damage anything else on your car? Something in the rear end messed up on my buddy's truck when it broke.
