Hi Guys,
Time to give a small feedback.
Like I told it before, I tried to do a mix of diffrent advises I had from all of you.
I've made my driveshaft 3 cm longer and put my T-case 1.5 cm lower. The result is pretty good, I can't feel any vibrations :)
The only issue I still have is the...
I love the way you’re explaining ! ;)
« had feew beers » hahaha
You’re right, because I did a lot of things in that truck, I want to do things right and don’t want to add a new problem.
If I still have vibrations now, I wont be able to tell if it’s from the driveshaft or the diff.
Obvouisly...
You can’t imagine how usefull that post is...thank you !
Thanks to the other ones who are happy to learn thanks to other posts and happy to teach in this one to me and peuple with less experience
Woow !!

Hi Guys,
I got my rear driveshaft back ; I'll put it back on monday, I realy hope this will solve the vibrations issues.
I choose to do a combination of two methods. I'll lower 0.5 inch my t-case and made my driveshaft a little longer... Let's cross the fingers now.
I had to remove the yoke...
Thank you for the video !
I'll have a look on mine because i'm not sure that I have the small plastics stuts like his on the side.
But it look the right way.
He is not showing which type of u - joint he uses to replace the orignal ones. With metal clips on the cup or same design as the one he...
Hi,
Thanks to both of you !
Indeed and unfortunatly we don't have real driveshafts shops here.
The shop where I brought this is a shop for semi trucks , but he told me also that he had to balance it. So I guess he will do it like it has to be done.
He told me that the front u-joint (one the...
Hi all,
I brought my rear driveshaft to a guy whi will extend it.
He told me that the u joint at the t case side ; is not replacable nor removeable.
It’s like « metled » does anybody has seen this already on a m1009 ????
Because making the driveshaft longer, doesn't reduce the angles. It does but it's minimal.
Lower the T-case 1 inch and it reduces the angles for 3-4 degrees.
Again,
Thanks a lot !
My back block are "angled" already. With this I mean that they aren't flat and horizontal they do what a degree shim would do on a flat one.
I'm also thinking about a kind of mix solution. Lower the t-case about half an inch and leghten a litlle my standard driveshaft...
I didn't drive a lot with the truck since I did the lift kit because of all the previous problems and issues told before.
But yet, I didn't feel a huge difference in comfort.
Altough a lot of people complain about pro comp...
My biggest problems are : "vibrations and drive shaft lenght " and...
Hi,
Thank you for the information !
I'm glad to see that you guys still read my stuff :)
Since the last post I did some research and tests.
I lowered the t-case about 1 inch and could see that it reduces the angles at the rear shaft. It also brought the slip yoke a little more forwards ...
Hi everybody,
I have maybe found a way to determine my new driveshaft lenght.
I found a guy who owns the same truck (same year and also military version) but without lift kit and on his orinal tires.
I've measured how much the slip yoke is out the t-case one his truck and on mine and...
