Rear driveshaft questions/options

[Kevin 007]

the t19 drive shaft is longer ,SHORTER TRANS compared to the c6 trans if memory serves i think about 6-7-8 inches if you need just the slip yolk i do have one cost ya,about 40 bucks

I replaced the slip (female end). The stub is still worn and is probably chewing up that new slip now lol.

Am in the same boat. A bit of play in the slip. Unsure which end. Local big rig driveshaft shop balanced the puppy, but wanted $850 to R&R mine to remove the slop.

I plan on running it till it breaks in two. U-joints are cheap enough to replace...

Thats a rediculous price. Ive never paid more than half that to get a shaft gone through. Like I said, I had a 2 piece shaft done off a dodge for 350$ not more than a few months ago. Granted they were able to reuse my tube, but 90% of the time they can...

Well I got a front have of the shaft built and the slip yoke for the rear half of the shaft. The slip and stub are far far superior to the factory setup, way more robust. So the complete build up of the front half and rear slip, including u-joints and hanger cost $300. I got it done at Coast Powertrain in Kelowna British Columbia, they were excellent to deal with.
I have now lost all the play in the slip and no longer can I feel it as im driving. Anytime I would lugg it down, I could feel it. Especially when towing.


Thanks for the support folks.
