Looking to upgrade rear driveline to 1480 u joints, is their any pre fabbed driveshafts with 1480 yokes or do i have to go with a custom fab? My truck is a ext. cab short bed if that matters..
Thanks,
Mike
No driveshaft vendors that im aware of, but there is a forum member who builds driveshafts and is pretty familiar with the subjectgot my driveshaft from Driveshaft Specialist Inc. so far so good. they might have what your lookin for. not sure if we have a driveshaft vendor so i think i may be ok posting that?
The stock CCSB and ECLB aluminum shafts are 5" around......oh really? whos that? does he make a single piece aluminum shaft 5 inches round? cool bro.
wow they get 5 inchers. wth. i went from a 2 to 1 pc. it wasnt 5 inches tho and was steel.
i have an 02 quad cab short box that had a two piece steal drive shaft the slip yoke kept catching and pushing the carrier bearing out of the clamp so i went to a local drive shaft place he made me a one piece drive shaft out of steal he told me it was the longest one he had ever made at 74in he used heave walled 4in steal pipe. i asked hi, about the alunimun ones he said that he could do it but when you get that long the alunimun ones start to noodle at high speeds and under heavy loads that's all i needed to hear to avoid that.
yeah current truck. they stand behind the driveshaft so well see. its the same diameter as my exhaust. looks stout and so far so good. they told me i wouldnt break it. mission accepted.
What type of driveshaft could I replace it with on my dually. Mine obviously is a 2 piece.

How much horsepower and/or weight is totally irrelevant to a critical speed failure. You could be coasting, if that driveshaft exceeds max RPM it could fold up in the middle and take alot of stuff with it.it was a while since i measured but i wanna say 83 and change? its 5 inch. well see what happens. so far ive towed 11500 ish lbs at speed. been over 100 a lot.
