Default Who would you order a drive shaft from?

I swapped my rear for a Moser M9 setup for 1350 U-Joints.

I need to order a new drive shaft and am wondering what experiences and advice you guys might have.

Thanks
Craig

There are hundreds of driveshaft specialty shops around the country that service trucks. Probably one near you. They can make a driveshaft of any length and strength with any desired or supplied U-joints.

I had one built with 1330 U-Joint and slip-yoke with 3" .080 thick tubing. It was $275 complete with balancing and all parts.

I ordered one from Denny's. It took them 6 weeks. I am having some vibration issues, and now they are too busy to talk to me. I have heard good things about PST and Inland Empire. I think next time, I'll go with them. I would personally stay away from local shops. I have had too many issues with them. They build driveshafts for dump trucks and stuff, and don't understand critical speed, and how important high speed balancing is. Inland Empire has some great info on their site.

BTW, I had a "local" shaft come apart on the dyno at 126mph.......it was UGLY and COSTLY!!!! Luckily no one was hurt or killed.

When I ordered my 9in from Moser they suggested Inland Empire. I am not familure with them and was looking for input from others.

Thanks.

We use Precision Shaft Technologies here at BMR for all our shop cars and when we sold driveshafts a few years back they were the only company we used. Check them out at http://www.pstds.com and they will be able to take care of any driveshaft needs you have.
