Carrier barring ?
I know this has been talked about before,but what size cross member do you need to run a one piece drive shaft? my truck ate another one today,and i am done replacing barrings. Are there a certain size,or how do you know,if you can change over to a one piece? Thanks for all of your help.

Re: Carrier barring ?
Are you sure there ain't something wrong under there? cause you should'nt being chewing up carrier bearings on a regular basis. I hope someone chimes in on the one piece driveshaft question, i'd be interested to know as well.

Re: Carrier barring ?
I would think your drive shaft will end up flopping around and tear out u-joints, well maybe if you took one out of a 2 ton truck it might work?
Don't know, just seems to long with no support. Like eightbanger said, I think something is wrong. |
