What can a stock drive shaft handle? And when should I upgrade and are there any vendors who make one for our trucks? I called a local place and he quoted me $400 for .083 wall 3" diameter with 1350 joints. Is that a good price? Truck in sig

Dang, so I guess everyone runs stock driveshafts
The Driveshaft Specialist place does good work. I'm running one of their 3.5" steel shafts. Real nice piece...
ive got a 5' aluminum one built from Thrash in SA

i've seen more than one take out the trans when it goes. majority will say, get a good shaft and be safe.
i'll agree with allen the setup has to be perfect or properly setup , drivetrain, pinion angle plays a huge roll plus its steele,theres no flex in the rear as the 4 link is probably keeping the 10 bolt together anyway ;) id agree with the rest a very well built drive shaft would add insurance to any build. ill be getting one soon but not to soon lol.. i run to drive shaft hoops :)
Yea I would be pretty pissed if my driveshaft took out the tranny especially bc it's getting beefed up right now. I'm going to get a price from the shop who built the one for my dads chevelle. I think he only paid $250. Do y'all know if ronsmachiningservice sells a 1350 yoke to fit my 8.6?
