I just placed an order for a 1344/1350 U-Joint with Summit and they only had two vendors that offered that combo, Moog and Inland Empire. A POS and a NO NAME!

SERIOUSLY?! Why?

 

In my recent research, have heard that combo u-joints aren't so great.
Maybe that's why??

Moog makes steering components ,Spicer makes u-joints.

 

Well funny how I found a Moog, but no spicer, lol, and my yoke is a Spicer

 

If it bothers you, what about having the driveshaft reworked
so you can use a standard U-joint?

Once upon a time I swapped a 231 Buick / T5 combo into
a Fiat Spider and had to fix the driveshaft problem. The
answer was cutting the head end out of a Monza driveshaft
and welding it into the remainder of the Fiat tube. Easy,
even with no skills and an AC-only buzz box.

Of course this was not as challenging as 500+HP in a heavy
car, as far as welding skills and durability. But seems like
maybe Denny's or somebody could set you up with a deal
that's easier to get "normal" wear parts for.

 

This is an ultra budget build so any additional expenditures will hurt me. I'm running a stock 6.0 and LTs with my 01 LS6 intake so the Moog should handle it until I get in a better position. I was just surprised that they were the only two manufacturers that I found for what I would of thought as a common situation.

 

Inland makes some good stuff. I purchased one of their slip yokes for the transmission. Quality piece.

 

Nothing wrong with IE.

 

Ehhh... I just picked up the Moog. I wasn't sure about the IED at $40, plus I didn't want to pay too much for one since I'll have the DS serviced with a new yoke when I get them money.
