Now that I think about it, guys that run 3 cases have the ability to load that rear case in a similar fashion. I haven't heard of input shaft failures from Marlin or BigMike, but I supose they probably wouldn't advertise.
Anyone have a tacobox with 4.7s in the *front* case? How's your rear case holding up while in low in the front, and high in the rear?
AWSUMDC?
