I've seen quite a few of the 2WD 1500 crew cabs w/ a one-piece aluminum driveshaft, much like the Z-71s. Why is this? Isn't the wheelbase the same as an ECSB? Will a 2-piece w/ a carrier bearing hold up to 400 rwhp?

 

Anybody??

 

I would say yes, I have a 2pc and it has held up just fine with approx 80 1/4 mile passes. No problems so far, of course my ECSB is a 2500HD.

 

My CC has the fat solid drive shaft! Im not pushin enough power to make a difference but it sure looks purdy!!

 

There was a performance driveshaft web-site I used to have under favorites, but have since rebooted the PC and have lost that web-site.
I found it from someone here that directed me to it in the past.
They seem to have some cool performance 2-piece driveshafts for our trucks.
Does anyone know what web-site this could have been?
I believe their driveshafts were yellow and black in color.

i changed from a one piece to a 2 piece. I have not dyno'd but I am sure i am in the 400's. The down fall to a 2 piece with power is that's just that many more joints to fail. But no vibration and the likely hood of a drive shaft coming a part at 120mph is slim to none.

 

I alwas thought my 100+ vibration was tires, maybe not.............?.........

You got any pics????

 

Dennys Driveshaft???

 

I am sure if you look at wind tunnel model of a brick...LOL...it's gonna vibrate some at 100+MPH.

It's when the shaft is over 5 1/2 foot that you see the increased harmonics. I do have pics, but they're at home...if I remember I'll post them up!

 

Thanks Wilde Racing!!
That's them!

If I add a S/C......I will definately add their driveshafts.
