In a Diesel truck at work, the torque is so intense that the engine can break the driveshaft. Its a Kensworth- a big truck for hauling cargo for deliveries of lumber, but not as big as an 18 wheeler

beteen 500 and 1000 ft lbs :) or maybe less if it is applied all at once!

It very much depends on the driveshaft. and also assuming all the torque can be applied without the wheels losing traction first.
A diesel will always produce more torque than a gas engine.
In short, there is no single answer.

Don't know the amount, but I did it one time. International 4300, 350 Cummins, 13 speed roadranger, 160 barrels 10.9 pound water. Steep hill, 2nd gear, drive shaft twisted off at weld on the differential end.

no longer confident which years will in good condition, yet you ask round junk yards and they could allow you to recognize what's going to in good condition. also, attempt 4x4 shops round your section. welding the stress shaft your self, isn't a good theory, till, if you're planning on braking it again. i eat by stress shaft when you consider that we bypass mudding regularly, and that i weld my personal custom length stress shafts because of lifted vans, choose custom stress shafts. now, the component is, we do not stress at street speeds, and a small vibration from imbalanced driveshaft isn't a large deal.

Obviously they do not have a strong enough drive shaft or are overloading it . There are several different strengths to drive shafts and mabe they should go to the highest.
