anyone had any problems with the two piece driveshaft?
anyone done any upgrades in regards to the driveshaft on an ext. cab?

this comes up due to a couple of rear ds u-joint bolt heads that I noticed recently during my tranny removal...
a wrench or socket wouldn't fit and when I looked to see why, I noticed that one of the two bolt heads on each cap had evidently hit something...
they appeared to have hit something on itself while spinning under load...
this was where the u-joint attaches to the pinion yoke...

I'll see if I can get pics posted...

 

better yet...has anyone looked at their's lately?

 

i looked under mine the other day and didnt find any issues at all under the truck

 

i dont have a 2 peice shaft one solid shaft.

 

this is a 4wd thing right?
also read where the ext. cab long box trucks had a replacement one piece ds as a fix to a tsb...
is there one for the ext. cab short box?

 

i dunno, mine is 4x4.
its aluminum i know that much.
that is what my truck is.

 

I have a 2 peice steel driveshaft in my ecsb.

 

AVOID the 1 piece

 

Mines a one piece aluminum unit, but my trucks an oddball, 2wd ext cab short-short box(the same bed as the crew cab trucks). It doesnt appear much different than a crew cab DS

 

My 03' ECSB had an Alum 1 piece. Held fine for multiple 120+ runs.
