ya, the srt-10 has one. but theres guys on here that have a steel shaft on a 2wd...so that guy i talked to was either retarded or full of ****. i was gonna call around today but didnt have time

 

i broke the shaft, bashed in the corner of the gas tank, bashed the muffler to hell and tore up some EVAP ****...still gotta get the EVAP **** replaced and pull out the dent in the gas tank...right now if i fill it up it'll read like it's down a 1/8 tank cause the float is stopped by the dent in the tank lol

 

that sucks man. but after what hammer said and i was talking to oefootball who pretty much has the same truck i do. hes got a suspension lift and i have a leveling kit and a 3" body lift. he has 35's and im getting 35's and he has 4.56 gears and ill have the same. both 2wds with the aluminum driveshaft and he hasnt had a problem. so im pretty much gonna do my tries and gears and pray that the driveshaft doesnt break lol

 

yeah well doesn't hurt to take your chances unless somethin happens and it breaks lol...when mine broke, i was doin 80 MPH down the interstate....so you'll have to take your chances and see happens

 

ya like i said im gonna hope for the best and go from there. if that **** breaks....i feel bad for traffic passing by. im gonnathrow that **** ill probally be so pissed hah. but like i said, hopefully that wont happen.

now that i think about it.....this may be a stupid question, but i dont know. does the speed of the driveshaft depend on the speed of the vehicle or the amount of RPM's?

 

lol @ not making a long one out of steel. HAHA. what amount stretch limos? are they all running aluminums?

anyways, put a ring around your driveshaft in case it breaks. so it catches it. put it towards frot of shaft. that's where it'd most likely break i think, but also, if the back end snaps, who cares if it hits the ground...the draggin, so hitting a pothole wouldn't do ****. my old dakota had one in cause i snapped one, and it went ape **** until i pulled over. my 93 dakota had a 2002 360 in it. t'was my baby. it was wrecked, long story.

 

I know all the RAMHD 2500/3500 use a steel driveshaft.

 

not true..we have a 2500 HD CTD that has an aluminum shaft

 

What about the Power Wagons? Steel or aluminum?

 

Has anyone measured their steel and/or aluminum driveshaft diameters? I'll be the Al shaft is subtantially larger in diameter, and probably about as strong in torsion.
