just looking for a link to a carbon fiber driveshaft for a 05 1500 silverado 2wd 5 speed thanks!

 

that's gotta cost.

My stock 5 speed driveshaft held up fine to multiple dyno pulls and several high speed runs. When I went to the T56(it has the smaller 4l60e yoke) I had problems. Ended up with the aluminum metal matrix from dynotechengineering
They do carbon fiber as well.

 

cool I sent them an email

 

Are u RC or EC? It makes a difference. Some will say they charge by the inch. You really gotta want this, cause they cost a bunch. $$$$.

You'll need a measurement. U do know they can disentegrate, right? Damage to a carbon shaft could mean a problem where alum. or steel will take it. Steel more so, obviously.

What kinda combo u running or plan to?
And, how much do u think they really cost?

Answer these & I'll give me a bit more to think about.

 

I think you missed my point. I put down 431/489, 4th gear 6500rpm dyno pulls and launched it on slicks on a stock driveshaft, transmission and clutch. You don't NEED an aftermarket driveshaft. If you just WANT a carbon fiber shaft, then you have more money than I.

 

thanks guys, Well truck is the reg cab stock 4.8 motor 5 speed. Doing to true trac with 4.10's, then a radix or top mount blower with decent boost, custom tune, stock heavy 20" foose wheels and thats about it. good plugs, wires and msd coil packs. truck has 20,000 miles

 

What length of driveshaft do you have? I am in the middle of going from a 5 speed (4wd), to a 6 speed t-56 (2wd) so I'll need to pick one up. Are you going with dynotech engineering for yours?

 

I'm with turbogibbs. I've had mine up to 150MPH on the dyno several times without issues. I have 3.73 gears as well. Never even a quiver from the driveshaft. I wouldn't worry about replacing it.
