Re: Aluminum Driveshaft
Yikes, $400 for an aluminum driveshaft. You can get one from here or on ls1tech sale section for about $120 shipped. I am personally looking for a one in great condition.Originally posted by XgunsmokeX

Re: Aluminum Driveshaft
I just replaced my 1 piece steel to an aluminum one and didn't notice much difference.
I bought my D/S used, so I opted to change out the U-joints. That was a bit of a challange that required more than just a wrench. The U-joints are held in by a plastic mold that we ended up having a heat up and use an arbor press to gently push out the old a bearings. You have to be careful where to push so that you don't bend the ends together. Overall we did it in a short evening, but I would hate to think how it would have been without the proper equipment.
Now if you aren't replacing the U-joints, then it would have only taken about 15 minutes to do the swap.2000 White Firebird <br />K&N Filter, Aluminum Driveshaft<br /><br />95 White Firebird - Laid to Rest<br />K&N FIPK, Flowmaster Exhaust, Jet ChipComment

Re: Aluminum Driveshaft
You dont have a 3.4 you wouldnt understand. Maybe I should have been more clear. The stock 3.4 doesnt like to rev past 5000rpm with the two piece driveshaft, infact many describe it as falling on its face after 5000rpm. Any stock 3.4 owner knows its pointless to rev past 5000 since our power is mostly made down low anyways. With the aluminum one piece it revs more freely and allows the engine to be taken past 5000rpm with less stress to the car. THUS another 5 mph is to be had before it "falls on its face". In laymans terms it free'd up the extra 5mph that was already there... :slap:Originally posted by saltnvinegar6287Comment

Re: Aluminum Driveshaft
"falling on it's face" is result of a misfire or spike in KR causing the car's computer to pull timing. When you rev freely, the DS isn't moving. So both have nothing to do with the DS at all.Originally posted by mlsFiTComment

Re: Aluminum Driveshaft
oh im sure the 10-15lbs lost on the drive line had nothing to do with it...Comment

Re: Aluminum Driveshaft
precisely. Do a search on missfires and you'll see alot of people complaining about their car's stuttering or "falling on it's face," 3.4 or not. And, as I said before...when you free rev, the DS does not moveOriginally posted by mlsFiTComment

Re: Aluminum Driveshaft
I didnt mean "free rev" as YOU put it... Im talking about when the car is in gear... And when implying "falls on its face" im talking about the power in general. The 3.4l is basically a truck engine, it wasnt ment to be reved out like some import...Originally posted by Smoke PantherComment

Re: Aluminum Driveshaft
well, following that logic, changing the DS isn't going to effect that either. Swapping driveshafts isn't going to change your where or how wide your powerband is. Also, this is a technical forum so get out of the habit of paraphrasing technical terms if you want to be understood properly.And when implying "falls on its face" im talking about the power in general.
