matt should have my drive shaft monday. if anyone is going to send in their drive shaft in, you shoud consider getting the box and shipping label from matt. i dont know how much insurance his carries but i put some on mine and the shipping alone cost $70 from ohio.

We had the opposite experience with ups... they would beat he **** out of our boxes and cost so much more.

yeah fedex struck again, they beat the box up pretty good but luckily it was packaged real well so the drive shaft was unaffected. 2nd day with the new bearing, no vibrations, no more squealing. all seems to be well.

We always try to maintain 1-2 days from arrival. Sometimes that's not possible but we do our best and keep good contact with the customer.

Finally got my V back from the shop that also did my Tick Performance Monster Stage 1 flywheel and clutch exchange. Reconditioned driveshaft is awesome!

Between work, family, gym I'll be lucky to have the bellhousing adapter off before you get it back to me. 2yo daughter prefers riding in the front of my V6 C1500 anyways, could really use some A/C this week though.

So ,, sounds like you guys have this figured out,, do you do the BMW shafts too?
Looks like the same damn near unserviceable design.

Cheers

I believe we could, however from what I've seen the oem carrier is molded to the steel carrier bracket. We retain the steel bracket on V. So that poses a road block.
