~700.

Next option after that is a rebuilt stocker...then it's onto the TH400...

I would say around 5-550 before its starts getting majorly stressed

I'm saying 700 based on low usage (ie dragging only)

The limit imposed by BL is 700 on their box, we have seen higher but unknown territory.

Agreed, little usage you could survive at 700ish but not for long.......daily drivers would suffer over my proposed figure imo

All the above is totally menaingless. Gearboxes are rated by TORQUE handling ability at a certain RPM. Power is NOT the issue!!! Shock loading is VERY relevant, too for those that float their boat trying to tear the diff from the chassis for less than 10 seconds of fun ;)

Dudes seemed to hold up OK for 10 seconds of fun dont you think?
