Andy, for what its worth I cracked my stock driveshaft. I lucked out and caught it before it snapped. Ended up going with a 5" from Texas Driveshaft specialists. Its a monster. (wait, maybe its 6".... Ill have to check.)

Ok, I believe my stock ds is about 5" aluminum. But like I said. I don't plan on going over 120 until I swap gears. But I'm not sure how much power they can hold

If Pat cracked his and caught it before it broke, It is a good bet you will break your's as well.

nice. Im about 5.5k left on mine. What fuel line? I found a slight leak at idle where I had the -6an plug in the FPR, must have been spraying even worse when the pressure went up to about 62 because it never went over that. I swapped it out for a strait cut -6an with oring and no more drip. so once the truck is back on the road I'll see what it does.



I took some decent pictures with my nikon. Truck is very dirty and I cant wash it so.
all of the scratches are from my off roading adventures. soon to be fixed.

I have also had a blower on my truck since 2005 with the exception of 1 year.
