long story short
u joint came apart drive shaft hit the ground broke
i need a new one but dont know where to get one
and right now i have a 2 peice and i have heard a one peice is better?

 

i got mine at the salvage yard. and i think yours is too long for a one piece. i dont think i've ever heard of the two piece failing

 

well it was the rear u joint it came apart some how im not sure how but it did so i have to fix it and i will call some tomorrow what price range am i looking at?

 

a local shop here charges about 300 for a custom built one piece. I donno about 2 piece so it could be worth it to call around? other than that a junk yard is the best bet

 

2 piece is better, can handle more HP with less vibration.

 

ok thanks guys i will call a few junk yards around here
will it be ok just to replace the back drive shaft it says on it to replace together?

 

You'll want to ask your local dealer. Probably have to buy it all together knowing GM.

But whoever said 1 piece is better didn't know your truck is extended cab. 2 short shafts vibrate less than 1 long piece. Less vibration means less likely hood of breaking.

 

I picked up a used 2 piece from a local junk yard for 50 bucks for my T56 swap...and it was about the 2nd junk yard I called too

 

sweet so i hope its not to hard to find i did find a place who builds them but im cheap and dont want to drop 400 bucks for one so i hope i can find a used one

 

is it the U-joint at diff??? if it is you probably have a pinion angle problem... my truck is lowered and when i would launch the pinion angle would go up and eventually destroyed my u joint and ruined my back shaft...

i got a new back shaft custom made with all new spicer U-joints for 300 bucks... if you find a back shaft at a junk yard get the front shaft too... they are balanced together so you shouldnt mix match them....

i would probably look into some caltracs if its a pinion angle issue.....
