Very Good News... Just trying to source a used driveshaft someone replaced.

Hit me up when you get your new driveshaft.

How many miles on that driveshaft?

 

[19 JLUR Bright Whit3]

FYI. I wheeled with the OP and he's out at Rausch Creek at least once a month. Its definitely not a failure of the driveshaft with normal use where mileage plays a factor. There are a few companies out there that has a diff skid extending over the yoke. I suggested them to the OP.

41,000 Hard Miles. I hit the trail up at least once a month for the last 3 years and enjoy playing on the ricks.

I think that I maybe on my second set of skids plates in General Soon. Looks like someone flipped my jeep over and beat it for hours with a huge sledge hammer! LOL If I ever take them off, not sure they are going to go back on.

honestly thats pretty good for wheeling it too. I do fleet maintenance work on Ram promaster 2500 vans, its a transaxle, but still a chrysler product and those things chew through CV axles in about the same amount of mileage without ever leaving pavement lol

Get an Adams, won’t have that issue again.

 

[mwilk012]

Thats pretty good for your use then.

New Driveshaft seems to have solved the problem! Thanks for all the input, especially @19 JLUR Bright Whit3 - Would have taken me 3x as long myself.
