I broke 2 stock aluminum drive shafts running cal tracs. After I built some long traction bars haven't had any trouble.
what are you guys running for rear driveshafts

Yeah like I said most shafts. Guess it all depends on how thick/big your steel one is. Mark was talking about how strong they were compared to a steel shaft but can't remeber how big. Would be best to ask Mark. like I initially said I think they are the best if your truck is still a DD and competition truck.

Guys name is Al, he'll make you whatever you need Jessie.

Rob, when you refer to steel shaft, are you implying a thicker wall? My buddy with an LMM just twisted his aluminum shaft in half Saturday night at a truck pull. He can get a replacement for cheap at a junk yard but wants something for a DD and competition. I've always looked at Danville's shaft. Nearly bought one and was convincing him to do the same this morning until now.
Honestly I think Rob is talking about guys that are making huge power that are twisting the ADM shafts up. Unless your buddy is making big power I don't think he will twist the ADM up IMO. I would call Mark and ask him what HP he thinks the ADM shaft is good for. I didn't think anyone had twisted one up till Rob said so, I know JT broke the yoke on his recently but I think he's north of 1,000hp (3.0 puller).
yes it is, and no i dont. but its the biggest driveline shop in the northeast..no joke.
what hp rating are u running i gotta steel shaft and just had to replace u joints and was wondering now that im running twins if this is a potential problem for me as well
well I was sled pulling on a very tacky track with mud terrains and the sled hit a rock and took a hop and when it came back down it pulled my truck straight into the groung. I was running 4 low 3rd gear converter locked so there was really no stopping it.
Dustin at diesel addiction said I have potential to run 550rwhp at my ccurrent setup.
what did you end up deciding to do about a driveshaft? I broke my rear yoke last night on a tacky track. I'm wanting to upgrade the yoke to a 1480 joint along with a new shaft.
I had a steel shaft made by Bick and Heintz in Utica, ny.
I came with 1480 forged u-joints, heavier wall tubing, and a 1480 slip yoke. Thing came out pretty nice. Decent price and shipped it out the same day I ordered it.
I ended up getting the 1480 rear yoke from GM. Came with the yoke, pinion seal, nut and washer.
I wanted a billet 1480 rear yoke from allseason but they didn't have it in stock. They were gonna call me with an eta but I still havnt heard from them yet. It's going on a month now.
