This is a continuation from the thread I made yesterday, but more specific I guess. https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=456879

I took the transfer case down today, and it appears fine, but the driveshaft doesnt looks so lucky.

Tcase:


Output shaft:

The silver stuff looks like grease...

Driveshaft:













Think I should be looking for a new driveshaft?

 

it could prolly still be used ... you come out alot better than i did when mine blew but i was goin like 130.... my adapter broke there was 3 peices of the shaft i found on the side of the road but they werent even half of the shaft....

 

Was that rear u-joint changed when you did the rear?

 

yea it was a 1330/1350 joint

 

Yeah i would def. change that drive shaft. Go ahead and get yourself a nice one. If your lifted...which it looks like you are. I would take another measurement to make sure that if it needs to be longer to eliminate a steep drive shaft angle. And check your rear axle if it needs to be shimmed to eliminate such problems down the road again. It seems that the u-joint that you had in there didnt last long from the way your talking.

 

You run lift springs right,do you have a shims that angle your pinion upward?I run lift blocks which make the angle.

I also had a custom DS made for mine after I destroyed my stock one.It is steel with 1350 u-joints and can handle 800 hp.

 

It doesn't look too terribly bad, I'd definitely check the pinion angle.

It could have looked like this

 

jb weld will fix all

 

This was my angle after I did my rear



I have 5" superlift springs and the pinion angle looks pretty good to me. I want to get a new driveshaft, I was just hoping to get one when I wanted it, not needed it haha.

I think I might be able to score one cheap from a salvage yard or something for the mean time.

Dennys driveshaft comes highly recommended, right?

 

Denny's is suppose to be good. And that pinion doesn't look bad.
