aluminum drive shaft

obdnanr · February 29th, 2008, 11:23 PM

anyone put one of those on? if so, do you just unbolt it from the rear end and slide it out. then just put the new one on? or did you have to the the yolks off and swap em? cause my drive shaft came with what appears to be everything

Avaric3 · February 29th, 2008, 11:27 PM

i think you have to reuse your v6 yoke

why does it feel like installing the procharger (3 day project) is easier than installing a drive shaft..... maybe its easier on a lift... ill find out tomorrow

mustangjeff1997 · February 29th, 2008, 11:32 PM

I have no idea, really, but how much is one of those and what kind of gains do you see? I haven't really looked around at any of those

obdnanr · February 29th, 2008, 11:35 PM

i think it was like 200 something, i dont have it on yet... because i cant get the damn 92-100 lb torqued bolts off when its on jack stands. gona have to get it on a lift tomorrow and get a breaker bar

it weights 8 something pounds, sounds pretty damn light

mustangjeff1997 · February 29th, 2008, 11:40 PM

wow, that's not just pretty damn light, that's freaking light. lol

Avaric3 · February 29th, 2008, 11:41 PM

i think it weighs about 14lbs and the stock one weighs like 19lbs. but it makes a big diff.

i think they go for about $250 +/-$20. its a mod thats well worth it, probly gonna be my next one after my 8.8"

El_Cangri · February 29th, 2008, 11:42 PM

its lighter so it reduces mass and makes your engine rev/accelerate faster

obdnanr · February 29th, 2008, 11:44 PM

ahhh

"8.5lbs lighter than your stock steel driveshaft"

243$

El_Cangri · February 29th, 2008, 11:46 PM
