    TrueTrac (Detroit) was bought out by Eaton a little over 2 years ago. You'd probably have to contact them.

    Just looking at the online owners manual, it looks like 1 year from date of DELIVERY, or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

    That's definitely a heat treat issue! That's really odd for Superior because they're usually a great shaft. Call them, and they should send one right out to you. I'd start with the vendor who sold them.

    I bought them through Summit Racing back on 07/09/06 and haven't had any issues other than this happening. I've only got 35" bias baja claws on it, but trying to pull on a buddy in some ruts and 6,000 RPMS in 4-hi prob didnt help at all haha
