Need drive shaft advice
by motorwood » Sat Sep 17, 2011 6:22 am
The War Wagon finally broke last night. U-joint at back of trans let go, then the front CV joint got real loud and loose and loud front wheel driving it home. Looking for suggestions on u-joint sizing, ect. I have a little more tq and HP than my sig, and it hooks well. My thoughts are 1350cv joint 1410 d60 and something big in the rear.
'03 2500: utility body stock; '92 350 flatbed: maxed fuel, 354 spring, 6x.016's, 14mm H/R, 2.8plate, studs, springs, A1000 5/8 line, Super40 = 454hp 1080tq all fuel. Have added S3 66/74/.91, O-rings, home port job, Steedspeed t-4 manifold. Hp=437/857 
13mm P, 5x.025, he551+ht80 843hp 1thousand something trq. Broken 5th gear.

If your still running the D70 and don't plan to stick a D80 in it I'd leave the driveshaft the weak link or next time it will be a shattered pinion & ring gear. I'd find a D80 and upgrade to 1480 series joints personally.
