Driveshafts....all the same?

Pricy?

The last one I had made was $490 and this included u joints, Weller truck parts.

There is a length restriction on them because they will twist if they are too long.

Someone I know made a motor home out of some kw and he had a long drive shaft made for it. The shop said he had to split it but he told them just to make it. They did, he has a horrible vibration between 30 and 50 to the point the truck could not be driven, so he ended up splitting the driveshaft and the vibration vanished.

pay for it done right, it is a critical component.

 

Make sure you have your driveline angles checked

 

Last week I was quoted $6000 for a complete new drive shaft for my peterbilt 389 from Inland truck service OKC.

 

We are on the same page here. Some problems I ran into was a late model Mack inter axle shaft. The yokes were longer than the old standard. Bought a new shaft from the fab shop. It fit right in but had a vibration a couple weeks later. While off road the new shaft yokes bottomed on the strap bolts for the pinion and through shaft yokes. This bent the yokes and the phone call to the shop did not go well. Bought a new shaft from Mack for $800. Two more u joints, yokes, seals, and yoke nuts.
Had a farm truck with a worn out slip yoke. Real farm truck with off road tires and no tag. Told him I just wanted the slip yoke cut off the old tube and a new one put on. He asked that's it? Yes: Its a farm truck. He brought it back as I requested for $500. Should have asked what a new one cost. It was under 4 feet long.
I thank everyone before and after this post for being correct in their area and application.
Still wonder what you are doing but price things before you jump in saving lots of money.

 

That included 2 hookers and a big bag of cocaine right ????...

 

Why don't you take it to your local Drive Line Service Center?
