Bought this one:

1330 Series 3.5 inch Aluminum Driveshaft 57 to 62 inch CL

Couldn't be happier - won't blow up any time soon :>)

Yeah, look at how thin the wall of the tubing is. It literally looks like thin sheet metal.

Sadly i wanna say the stock aluminum shafts are thinner with a rubber lining that tends to break down... I have aluminum arrows with thicker walls than a driveshaft!!!

Mine broke out on the road at speed. Extremely blessed that something didn't happen to cause a wreck. Went back and found 3 pieces of the driveshaft. Actually didn't hurt the slip yoke or pinion yoke. Had to replace the tailshaft housing and a 2 foot section of my duals. No damage otherwise.

The truck is back together, the transmission seems fine. I am going to post pictures of the yoke and universal joint that used in hopes that it helps someone else in the future. The yoke in my truck got destroyed, I happened to have a spare out of a 99' 3500 van with a 4L80E.

It's been a long road, but I finally got it back on the dyno today. Was able to get the person who used to tune all my F-Bodies to do the tune.

Final numbers are 349/384 on 87 octane. It peaked around 5400 RPM. I feel like I have plenty of exhaust. But the air box and intake tube may be a restriction. Not going to mess with it, I use the truck to haul and tow ****.
