The M6 cars and A4 3.23 cars were supposed to come with the alum driveshaft, mine is steel and originally 2.73.

Yes all LS1 had aluminum driveshafts 1998-2002 The LT1 1LE car came with aluminum driveshafts and if your car LT1 (1993-1997)was under warranty and you had a vibration at speed they would put one in it if the mechanic was worth a crap and kept up with bullitins. LOL

When should one consider replacing the stock aluminum drive shaft?

With your car being an auto you won't have to worry about it much unless you get crazy with the car. I was cutting 1.5xs 60 fts with 3.42s and a aluminum DS and never had a problem. But search around in the Gears & Axles forum, there is some info in there about your question

Not so, many (like mine) came with a steel driveshaft.

The factory aluminum one has been known to break. If mine had one I would upgrade it to a better aluminum one or a factory steel one.
