Drive Shaft, Custom?
Well as my quote's go.. "If your Gonna Be dumb""its got to be tuff" so there i was doing a Decent second gear burn out this weekend on some pretty rough pavement at a buddys house. Good amount of smoke rollin out lookin good let off for a secondthrow some revs for third Released the clutch and "THUNK" engine started screaming.. SH!T
my first thought was an internal issue... Nope broke the ujoint right at the yoke. and sent my carrier bearing into the Full lotus position.. from the naked eye upper shaft looks bent, Anyone know where i can get a nice new driveshaft built or ones that are already in production for our trucks? one piece 2 piece.. any ideas to beef one of these things up. thinking aluminum...

Yup, driveshaft shop. If there are none, ask a local custom/race shop.

Inland empire makes a bullet proof 2-piece shaft or can build a long one piece!
Here is a linky! http://www.iedls.com/ Here is the linky for the 2-piece for our trucks, bullet proof without a doubt! http://www.iedls.com/page4.html |

Re: Drive Shaft, Custom?
just find your local 18 wheeler repair shop. Our local shop is Inland Truck and they make some great driveshafts. Its $75 labor + $1/inch of pipe. Just take them your old one and they weld on a new tube. If they make make 18 wheeler driveshafts, yours should be bulletproof
