Re: Driveline prices? Wow
I just had my rear driveshaft damaged and I needed my original yoke cut off, new yoke welded on, ujoints installed and balanced of course, and they painted the shaft so it looked all new and shiny. Roughly $140 I think. You're price isn't completely off.

Re: Driveline prices? Wow
Check out capital, they will build any shaft you want for that money. I think we are paying $190 for the shaft, 2 new joints and a slip yoke

Re: Driveline prices? Wow
I agree. It cost me $380 to have a one piece driveline made for my '79 GMC 3/4 ton a few years back.
You're askin' for custom work... Gary

Re: Driveline prices? Wow
WOW!! THATS INSANE!!.. From what i can tell one can grind off the weld pull out the whachamacalit( where the u joints go into) clean that up. and then cut your tube with a chopsaw. inset the whachamacallit. reweld.. and take it to get ballanced. if i had decent welldning skills id do it.. dammit thats why im paying for it im paying for the guys welding skills!!!

Re: Driveline prices? Wow
noone wants to make 10 - 15 bucks an hr... and this is what happens when the guys workin the line make a decent wage.
The prices listed here are a little higher than what I can get locally. I think I paid 2 bills to have the one in the longhorn done. 3 new joints with no zerks, and a C bearing. They claimed to have ballanced it, but I don't think they did. I pulled some strings with the shaft in the burb, 3 joints, new C bearing, and i KNOW they spun this one... I think it was 150. I pulled strings on that one, was supposed to be more like 230 if memory serves. |
