[QUOTE="PORTER, post: 1466024, member: 15961"] Hmmm, I think you are a bit off here. IMO, vehicle weight, adequite axle gearing, HP/Torque, drivers skill, all come into play here. I have seen more that a few Altas T-cases fail in my day, so the term "everything breaks" always applies. The guys that seem to break them that I have seen have heavier rigs, not enough axle gearing, and driving with the skinny pedal instead of skill. I am one of 3 guys that I know that runs a bone stock 300, 40in tires, under 3500lb rig, 7-17s in the diffs that has put a hard 4+ years on the t-case with no failures. In those years I have wheeled it alot, and have stood on the skinny pedal as much as I have drove the line. Mauler runs the same setup besides he runs a V-8 and 6-17s, I run a V-6 and 7-17s. Again the Altas is obviously the stronger setup, but a properly setup/ built 300 will last a long time given the rig is setup within certain perameters.. [/QUOTE]
