Inland Empire Drive Shaft and Carrier - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got the Inland Empire Driveline 502 Driveshaft and Billet Carrier Bearing installed today. Wow what a difference. The driveshaft is about 2 times larger around then the original (maybe more, I need to measure it) and the billet center carrier is a beauty. The large slip joint on the rear shaft is 1 1/2" forged steel. These 1350 splicer u-Joints are huge next to the originals. My trucks vibration problems have been eliminated. I highly recommend this kit if you are having vibration problems.

I hate to ask but how much was it?

Sounds great. I will be getting my drive shaft from them but hopefully eliminating the bearing.

That driveshaft is not cheap $670.00 not including shipping. I have been fighting this vibration problem for soooo long that the price did not really matter. I can't stand vibrations in a vehicle. This is the first vehicle I ever owned that had this problem with drive line.

If you can eliminate the the carrier like on a short bed it would be great. This long bed driveshaft is just too long for a one piece.
