I ordered one with my Midwest 9" too, it arrived already and looks pretty stout...

My 9" is supposed to arrive today or tomorrow so I'll post install pics and some feedback when I get it in, probably this weekend.

I'm swapping it tomorrow to see. I doubt if the flexplate or converter could be the issue but you can never tell. My vibration is crazy!

I guess they vary, like most other things. 20k miles on mine, no vibration, even at high speed.

I also have one, and have no issues with vibrations. I had some vibration due to the pinion angle being off, but that was corrected and everything is smooth now.

You can but you'd need to change the yoke on it. Eric gives a sweet discount on the chromoly DS with the package (and if you're buying a 9" you prolly need it) so I went for it...

Is $295 the discount price, and if so how much are they normally?

Found my issue tonight so just wanted to update. Go ahead and get that Strange driveshaft! We failed to put the clips on the universal. We put them in and it is smooth as can be. I had it up to 120 MPH tonight and not a shake!

I just got a used Chromoly Strange driveshaft with spicer ends. It is one stout piece and is vibration free with 100 miles so far.
