Drive Train Specialties is a good place to go, they built alu. one for the S-10, but they are bigger in diameter, it rubbed on everthing, took it back out and put steel one back in it. They come ballanced, u-joints, asembled ready to run, great deal.

Are you running a drive shaft loop on the truck?

Install it well, when I snapped my driveshaft it took out both loops.

My new ones are welded to the frame and not bolted to the floorboard.

Where is the optimal placement for two loops?
like 10-12" inches from each end?
What do you recommend?

You just need a front hoop really. Within 12 inches of the front U-joint.

Chris

Mine just has a rear since it is built into the frame.
