Just an update. I bought the slip yoke eliminator kit and CV driveshaft from Tom Woods. The driveshaft is 3.5 inch steel with a 1350 CV at the transfer case and a 1350 u-joint at the axle end. The slip yoke eliminator is basically a shortened tail cone and output shaft with a CV drive flange. I...

Well doesn't that suck. Theoretically, at 75mph, my shaft is turning 3300rpm. According to the table, with my angles, I shouldn't go 50mph. I know the angles need to be the same and I know there is a safe operating rpm based on shaft material and diameter but this is new to be. Thank you for the...

I had my dad measure the angles, 10 degrees at the transfer case and 9 art the axle

No it does not have the dampener. I am not at home for a couple days but when I get home I'll measure those angles again.

Nope tailhousing bushing in the transfer case want it either. I'll have to measure my angles again but my driveline angles are not bad. I can't see making the investment in a cv shaft when the driveshaft shop said there was no problem with my setup after they fixed my stock shaft. I'm sure they...

I would get the sound even without the front driveshaft in. I don't get the noise in 4th. The noise was there before and after I had the trans rebuilt . I would have thought if it was a bad bearing or synchro in 5th then I wouldn't have the noise in 5th since neither the bearing or synchro is...

When the axle was shimmed, we had to put in an 8 degree shim to rotate the axle back down after the shackle flip. The axle to driveshaft angle is 1 degree lower than the transfer case to driveshaft angle. The driveshaft shop confirmed this for me when they straightened and balanced the shaft. I...

I've been looking around for a while, gathering knowledge and decided to swap an nv4500 into my 1984 m1008. I used a hydraulic pedal assembly from a 1986 and a nv4500 from a 1994 6.5 turbo truck with a solid mass flywheel and sprung hub clutch kit for the same truck. Everything went pretty...
