driveshaft problems on nnbs
 

hey guys, ive read around on here and it seems a few guys are having problems with there drive shaft twisting and shredding once past 100 or so, i see it mainly on 4 doors but a few on single cabs, i'll be getting a single cab and just wondering if theres a solution for the single cab nnbs trucks for this to not happen? thanks

I have gone over 120 mph a few times and never had a problem but now you scared me . Next time I will think about it twice.

haha my bad man, but my buddy (jg53) and my brother both have 4 doors with mods and theres vibrate once reaching 100 plus.. and ive read about a white single cab on here that has had driveshaft problems also.. just trying to get info on a reliable way to go

It vibrates from 100 to like 110 but after that it stops. One time I asked a chevy dealer mechanic why they did that and he said that were not built to go over 100 mph

ive been 140mph with mine and it never broke.

That mechanic is right, they are not meant to go over 100mph. Any higher than that is all luck. These are bottom of the bin aluminum driveshafts; they can be bandaided with a good balance, but they'll never be a quality piece. You won't see as many issues with a RCSB driveshaft since its shorter, but you're still at the mercy of a part that is primarily designed with cost effectiveness in mind.

Yeah your right their not rated for speeds over 100. I drive a nnbs single cab and i have had this issue twice over speeds of a 100 first one snaped in half the second twisted and snaped as well, messed up my differencial. Finally decided to replace the aluminum driveshaft to a steel been holding up good since over speeds of 120.

I'm having mine custom built right now, rated to at least 150mph. Should be finished this week, will update in the projects thread in a few days...

Are the drive shafts in the 2500s better? I know there not aluminum.

so basically im best off by getting one made? looks to be luck of the draw by some driveshafts twisting and some handling 120mph plus... thanks for the info guys
