Re: 2 piece drive shaft to 1

If the tape changed it, the shaft needs to at least be checked by the builder. They should fix it for free.

Id call and bait them by asking what they use to stuff their shafts, when the say they don't stuff the shafts you can tell them that you know why your shaft is ringing.

Sorry, we didn't meant to get all worked up. Some people are crazy enough to try "great stuff" in their shaft, ruining the ballance and voiding any type of warranty your driveshaft might have.

Ok so your saying the shaft needs to be checked for... balancing are having the isulation installed are both.
This drive shaft is under warrinty so no I'm not going to do anything until I talk with them.
Well I headed out to the car show so it will be late this afternoon before I'm back.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

The shafts ballance is probably fine (right now). They will have to cut the weld yoke out to check for stuffing, that will affect the ballance so will adding stuffing, so the shaft will need to be reballanced even if that currently isn't an issue.

Wink Re: 2 piece drive shaft to 1

Ok thanks I know what I have to do now. When I get back to town I need to call them and setup a time to carry it over. Thanks.
