front driveshaft
 

anybody know the difference in lengths front manual to auto? i swapped an nv4500 into my truck n haven't gotten a front driveshaft for it. went out cruisin last night n almost couldnt pull out a stuck 2wd s10:argh: time to cut mine down....

I think is 3in total 1 1/2 shorter for the front and 1 1/2 longer for the rear

got ahold of my buddy that has one n i measured it, i came up with 5 1/2 inches of difference. got er cut down n welded up, gonna put it in n give it a try. worst case scenario i end up buyin a driveshaft lol

:scare2: damn sorry about that i was way off

haha no problem. i put it in last night, it aint pretty but it'll get me thru for right now. im gonna have to buy one anyway, it kinda spins in an oval now :argh:

i managed to burn all the hair off my arm when we were buildin it, i failed to see the 50 feet of waterproof fuse hangin off the bench in front of where i was grindin.:s: all i saw was 2 foot flames on the bench so i grabbed it n threw it on the garage floor, so my right arm is bald now haha

yesterday while we were in the process of fixin my truck n tryin to burn down the garage, my friend pointed out that my front axel is not centered, it sticks out further on the drivers side, im assuming this is from the 2.5" lift + the stock track bar. i was lookin at the adjustable one from thuren fabrication, can anybody give me any insight on these? price aint too bad, just wonderin if its gonna last

look at a dt profab trackbar

When i swapped the nv4500 in mine i actually used the front driveshaft off of the donor truck which was the dually 5speed but then again too i also used the transfercase but there should be no difference bc their both the same tranfercases except one has a pto in it.

the front driveshaft was the only thing i didnt get with my donor truck. i put the welds to the test today n they held, just wont be able to run 4x4 down the road.

It problably makes your whole truck shake now.

im not gonna run 4x4 down the road til i get a new driveshaft, just like to have it if i absolutely need it, or wanna play around like this haha
