WILL The BIG 5.0 TAKE The POWER?
This
is a friend of our shop with his Dodge 2500 that is making some serious
power with 800+ Horsepower and 1500+ Torque!

We have another shop in Tennessee that we built a an improved front CV shaft and a 5.0 x.125 Aluminum rear shaft that Dyno'd at 1000 HP and 1850 torque to the rear tires. Incredible!
Aluminum Tube Torque Yield Specs:
This is what the actual tube will take before failure. There are other factors involved in determining total driveshaft strength, such as Trans Yoke, Flanges, U-Joints and Welds.
7303 lb ft. is what our 5.0x125 HD 6061T6 heat treated tube is rated.
4974 is what the strongest Factory OE tube is rated.
3938 is what the worst OE tube is rated.
Weight Savings - Going from a OE steel 1 pc shaft you will save nearly 20 pounds. If going from a 2pc OE shaft you can save 35+ pounds.
U-JOINTS for 2500/3500
We use the Spicer XL in all of our applications.
This is a Cold Forged U-Joint with superior steel alloy. All auto parts store U-Joints are a hot forged joint and are far below the quality level of the Spicer XL U-Joint. The Spicer XL is a solid cross and is a lubed for life U-Joint that typically lasts well over 100,000 miles with absolutely no maintenance required. 200,000+ is not uncommon for this U-joint. We have NEVER seen this U-Joint broken in half like the parts store joints.
On late model Dodge 2500 and 3500 trucks with a flat 4 bolt Flange at the Differential we can upgrade from the 1410 to the 1480 with no modification required. Direct bolt in. The 1480 has approx. 35% additional torque rating than a 1410.
We also build 1Pc driveshafts in steel, but we can't go as long a length as the Aluminum Driveshaft.
Dodge 1500 4x4 Driveshafts
We offer all of the regular front Dodge Truck Driveshafts. See the CV Type Driveshafts in the Master Truck page.
The following is one of the "Odd Type" driveshafts that Dodge used. We have a special conversion driveshaft that is for lifted trucks or if you're looking for a Heavy Duty option.
Shown
at right is a OE style front driveshaft for Dodge 1500 trucks.
This is a poor design that Mercedes got involved with. Driveshaft is
weak and on lifted trucks it will fail in short order.
Shown below is a Heavy Duty Driveshaft. This is a new design driveshaft that is stronger the the OE driveshaft and we can custom make the length for lifted trucks. Pricing is $475 + shipping.
Note: This may work on some Durango models with NV 244 Transfer
Case.
If the Durango front shaft looks like this photo we do not have any options. Dealer only part.
