Blown cv joint help!

[Cease11]

Blew this out earlier today off roading. Do you guys think this would affect the differential as well? I was able to get out of trouble just on 2x4 what a day! Getting off the freeway on the way home my check engine light came on. Stability control. I couldn’t go pass 30mph

Took 3 hours and 3 trucks to tow me up this hill. Though I was going to have to spend the night!

Affect the diff? No it shouldn't... , just replace the cv and you should be fine

Any recommendations on heavier duty ones. This was so stressful being stuck in the middle of nowhere

The TFL truck guys blew one on their 2019 Rebel during an off road test video. It's a bummer they aren't more durable. You can see it at the 1:10 mark:

Yeah my mechanic guy told me the same thing. He said he would of expected heavier duty ones for this truck. Hopefully should have it ready tmw.

If that’s it, then same thing happen with me. I think the wheel was spinning to fast when it made contact with the ground

Keep in mind the axle is like a fuse, you get stronger axles and then maybe your front diff explodes instead. Which would you rather fix?

None of the IFS fronts are very strong on any truck, thats why people straight axle swap. Even Raptors are breaking axle shafts often. Never give it a lot of throttle when your wheels are turned, thats a sure way to snap most any front axle on anything.

Mines not broke but it’s has way too much play in it. It rattles and drives me crazy. Does anyone know of any aftermarket CV’s available for 5 th Gens? Mopar want $500 plus core

This bears repeating. ^^
On my Z06, I've upgraded the clutch, replaced and upgraded the trans, upgraded the output shaft on the upgraded trans and upgraded the differential to hold my power. My CVs and half shafts are the fuse when I'm on drag radials.
I'm going to dead hook, spin or break an axle. Spinnin ain't winning and axles/CV's are far cheaper and easier to replace than the diff or trans.

I would look at the TRX parts and see if they were any different though

I'm dealing with this right now. Wondering if it's why I keep hearing popping noises at slow speeds with some turning. Everything is nice and torqued with my sway bars and tie rod ends. Can't find anything else that rattles like my cv joints do.

Im currently dealing with a weird almost hissing noise that occurs only while turning left. I’m trying to narrow down the culprit as I even just rotated my tires and inspected everything and there’s no contact being made anywhere or anything. I don’t off-road the truck but I do tow a 32 center console that’s at the upper end of my towing capacity and occasionally throw in in 4x4 low on steep ramps and crawl out without much effort.
