One piece drive shaft?

[Privatetoe82]

Where can you get a one piece drive shaft for a QC? I thought i read somewhere that i may be able to use one from a diesel truck. Is this true? If so whats a good place to get one of them, and what should i look for?

Why do you want one? Thats a looong driveshaft, and I doubt any of the diesel truck shafts are rated for any kind of high speed.

Read something about it, so i decided to look into it. Wasnt sure if guys where really doing it or not.

One piece carbon fiber is the way to go. Just sold one to a f150 Harley owner. Went from 60lbs to 15lbs.

What would a price tag be for something like that?

They possibly could since y'all have some super light ds from the factory iirc.

I've run one for a few years now with great success. Love it and its taken 1.6 60ft launches as well as high speed runs. It's custom made and no a diesel shaft won't work.

Best part about it is if it decides to let go it will just shatter to bits, rather than ending up in the cab with you.

should add a drive shaft loop just for safety.

What does a carbon fiber drive shaft cost for a QC that's going to be converted to manual?

Driveshaftspecialist.com all built to spec, cost me like 7-800 when I did my tranny swap

That's for alum and not Carbon Fiber if not mistaken. ;-)

 

[LightningRaper]

Correct I have aluminum, you have carbon fiber?

Mine is aluminum, not carbon fiber. About $500 difference.
