Mark Williams or Dennys? I'm going to need a custom driveshaft for my car when I get my 12bolt. Should I buy a Mark Williams 3" Chomemoly, or a Dennys Nitrous Ready? Which do you guys think is stronger, which do you think is lighter? Will either of them work for a H/C car? They're both about the same price.

Re: Mark Williams or Dennys? They are NOT both about the same price. My Denney's Nitrous Ready driveshaft was $360 shipped. That includes yoke and u-joints and is guaranteed for life. My Mark Williams catalog lists the CM driveshaft at $377, the u-joint at $41, and the yoke at $182 which comes to $600 and you still have to add shipping. As far as I know the MW DS has no guarantee with it.
The Denney's driveshaft also includes lifetime free labor which means if you ever need it shortened or swap trannys and need a different yoke they'll do the labor for free.
I shopped between the two also and it was an easy choice for me.

I just re-read your post. Why would you need a custom driveshaft with a 12-bolt? Unless you're worried about breaking it. <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

Re: Mark Williams or Dennys? Well, my stock aluminum one surely can't take the abuse, right? Do you know how much heavier your Dennys is more than the aluminum one? Thanks for clearing this up. Dennys definetley like the way to go.
Re: Mark Williams or Dennys? Also, if you order the 1350 U-joint on the rear, you'll need a driveshaft that's 3/4" shorter than stock.
I got a BIG box yesterday at work. Labeled "Moser Engineering". Haven't been able to get it home yet, though. That's today's project. I'm gonna stick a big bow on it...

My Denney's cromoly DS weighs 20lbs. Haven't weighed the stock aluminum one.

Re: Mark Williams or Dennys? Just got my Denny's Nitrous Ready DS with optional Strange billet trans yoke. Beautiful craftsmanship. Just a small dab of metal used for balancing. Spoke with the man himself during the ordering process and got tons of advice and helpful hints. Great company. <img src="graemlins/gr_angel.gif" border="0" alt="[angel]" />
