Well beotches...is it time for a CK5 takeover?

Sorry Greg, lately my schedule has been, go to work, stop at the Y on the way home, go home and fall asleep, lady gets out of work at 9, then find myself getting home and or to bed by 1-2am and waking up at 6.

But im sure you dont want to see any pitchers of that lol

 

Driveshaft question:

A factory K10 has a 2 piece driveshaft. Couple folks I know swear using one piece is okay, total length would be 67"

What say all you? Seems like that might invite some drive line whip.

 

Tech in the lounge??? Oh wait

 

Eric told me I could run a one-piece in Mutt, in place of the 2 piece and stoopid carrier bearing.. but they would need to up the tube diameter...

 

I'm a little confused. Are you talking about the rear driveshaft for a standard-length 4WD square-body pickup? Both my K10 pickup and K10 suburban have one-piece driveshafts. I had a two-piece with carrier bearing in a C20, but I have yet to see a carrier bearing behind a transfer case in a short truck.

...

Just ran outside to check mine, and my length from yoke to yoke is about 54". I think we're talking about different trucks. :dunno:

:rofl:

 

I hate it when I get grinding dust in my whiskey

 

I got a package ready for Mr. Ducato.

 

Looks like a torso. Nice job Dexter Morgan

 

Yes, it would appear. Mine is a long bed.


What are all the CC guys running?

 

I had to cut his legs off to get him on the pallet.

 

Thats good to hear. Any issues with it?
I will be going up to a 1350 joint as well as increasing the tube size and wall.

 

If you don't mind me asking, what length is the Burb tube?

 

There's like a metric crap ton of strange new buttons on our rent-a-forum

 

apparently it's a pretty common deal.... not running one yet, but once I swap in the 6BT/NV4500, I'll have one built...

 

there is tube length max before the tube starts to hoop at speed .

I had a 2 piece in my k30 c&c 135" wheel base truck . it needed work and I had a 1 piece that was correct length . swaped in no problems . except 65mph - up it had little vibe . drive line shop checked it and said for my truck combo it was this or back to a 2 piece shaft . the shaft was also 1350 slip on shaft style and aftermarket thick wall bigger dia tube.

 

oh zimm I got one of your piggys drip dry hung and bleed out . just swapped the other one on and she is bleeding out now . oh the red liquid and its smell. the taste is funky also

 

that's funky as hell

I just quoted / replyed to zimms post back a few pages ago . I scroll up and see I am still on that old page . . . . but the bottom has my 2 current posts .

this sh!t is crazy and needs to stop ............. all in due time when the master is done with his work I know he will.

 

I`ve never seen a k10 reg cab long box with anything other than a one piece shaft!? I could measure mine if you like, but it would have to be tomorrow.
Yours is two piece?

 

I got a 02 trailblazer for free on the weekend...trans slips... anyone got one and like it? I want to fix it up for my Daughter and us to drive for a spare.

I want our Ck5 back! Hurry up Steve! JK dude! I cant imagine the work it takes to mess it all up! LOL!

Oh and
























Pad!

 

Yeah it is, original as well. It is a 77, SM465/205 with a 12b.
I am curious about what you have, so if you don't mind.

Figure i will call the drive shaft in tomorrow. Looks like i need a one piece
