well saturday i was headed to tusla for the drag race, got half way there had a real bad vibration and the whole truck was shacking. it felt more like something in the front end, ended up being the rear u-joint, one of the end caps poped off, beat the **** out of the dirve shaft and it fell off when we tried to load the truck up.

it looks like it will be unuseable so i need at leats the back half of the shaft for a 99 dodge 2500 4x4 auto with the dhd transfer case, long wheel base quad cab. it is a 2 piece drive shaft. if u have one, my number is 870-405-5419 tia

o ya, ive found one for 200 plus the cost to drive 3 and a half hours to get it.

does that souns like a good price?

 

You could probably get it fixed at a drive line repair shop for less than that. They can cut the bad yoke off and weld a new one and balance it for you. There is usually at least one drive line shop in larger cities.

 

yeah i would take it to a driveshaft place first ed...they can fix them things up perty good

 

I'd replace it with the new one-piece aluminum shaft they are putting in the new trucks. It'd be around $400, but you'll never have to worry about it again. The old 2-piece DS is a prone-to-failure kludge.

 

dont have a driveshaft shop near me. that i can seem to find any way.

nadirpoint, can i borrow $400

 

know anyone who works in a truck shop? thats where i always found driveline shops. we have 3 -5 around us who can make/repair driveshafts. go in there and ask.

 

thanks for all the help guys, finaly found a guy who could do it, only cost 54 to buy a new yoke and put it on the shaft. pretty good price id say took the old man less than a hour. got it put all back in. no vibrations

 

good deal...now you have 150 dollars to go out and by a go fast part

 

not realy , i didnt have the 54 to spend in the first place
