Damn I'm lucky.

So I ran for rebuilt 4908 maxx yesterday. I worked well, I had to heat cycle the picco 21 and start breaking it in. I was still breaking it in when It became a front wheel drive. I looked and half of my new MIP spline shaft was gone. I thought for sure it came loose. NOPE! I found it and the other small piece (after half an hour) and the pin had broke! Is this normal? I'm still amazed that I could find this stuff, but even more so that it broke. I thought the mips were strong.

Ok since nobody replied to this I just want to say if you ever get Mip splines, paint them blaze orange!! That way at least you will have a chance to find them when they come apart.

MIP's are not that great. Honestly the stock plastic driveshafts served me beautifully for 6 gallons. It's alll in the slipper clutch setting.

I have the same engine as you, and this is what I use for my rear driveshaft

Stick some o-rings in the drive cups and you're good to go. This setup hasn't failed me yet. My stock rear driveshaft started stretching out pretty quick..

Good idea I'll try that sometime
