You can tell from the pics that the T/A was stock, and it certainly looked like the stock aluminum DS to me.

Sorry to hear it, man. At least it's an excuse to upgrade!

LOL mine did the same thing.

And get this, it snapped hitting 2nd gear on 18" MICHELINs. For example, if I powershift 3rd on those tires, my car gets sideways....AT MY POWER LEVEL. They don't hook for ****.

Mine looks very similar. The difference, is that I drove home 2 hours to make it to my old mans birthday. My ebrake splitter brackets are intact, sorta. They widdled my driveshift down to about 1mm left in thickness. With some serious cracks throughout.

I now run an LG non adjustable TA I got for free, and an LPE 3.5" aluminum DS I got on sale. Both tide me over until I get my new tranny/driveshaft/12 bolt.

Sorry about what happened man! Scared the crap out of me as well.

Stamped steel FTW!!... Yeah right. What a joke the stock suspension is. Can't even handle 350rwhp...
