$250 shipped Aluminum driveshaft

[chevy3504me]

I have an aluminum drive shaft. If you have a steel or two piece driveshaft, replace it with this one piece aluminum driveshaft. I dont have the measure ments or pic but I can get both.

Is this a stock LS1 drive shaft or after market? If stock, that is WAY too much.

Re: $250 shipped Aluminum driveshaft

It was custom made over 4 years ago. Or so I was told. Ill edit it to OBO. What is a good price?

Stock aluminum driveshafts usually go for around 125 shipped..... 150 w/ new u-joints.

Re: $250 shipped Aluminum driveshaft

without knowing the history of the shaft, you really cant say its aftermarket or stock. anyone can tell you its a high perfomance custom shaft and sell it out for a high price, but not knowing is going to hurt ya on price. I dont know what an aftermarket shaft goes for, but I sold my alum shaft for $125shipped but I was told it was stock, so thats what I sold it as. owner loves it.

try to find markings on it, or a number then do a little research that should help a little. or even post a pic. someone around here should have an idea.

Yeah, sometimes the stock aluminum DS will have a white "Three Rivers" sticker with a part number and a bar code. GM #s are almost always 8 digits.

Chances are rare that anybody here will need a higher performance DS than what the aluminum one is capable of handling.

The stock aluminum DS sucks. I will never put 1 on my Z since ive seen first hand from friends rides that have twisted it like a soda can.

Its perfect for the V6's though.

Re: $250 shipped Aluminum driveshaft

not gonna lie... didn't feel jack when i put on an aluminum d.s., even when i added headers at the same time.

You're not going to feel it.

Re: $250 shipped Aluminum driveshaft

I could tell a big difference in my car. haha, my two piece took a sh*t and was riding rough.

Im away from home at this time but I know that it doesn't read "Three Rivers" anywhere. I dont think it says anything and I believe its 4" diameter.

Sorry I dont have all the info or pics but i will do my best to get pics and find out about this shaft. Thanks for your input.

That's odd. My buddies WS6 was pushing around 450 to the wheels with no driveshaft distortion.
