That is what I thought

I've gone to napa,autozone,advanced,orielly. They don't carry them. Napa said they use to but there prices went through the roof and don't carry them anymore. I don't mind ordering them online. It's just nice to be able to pick them up in town if possible.

Look in the "yellow pages" under "TRUCK REPAIR" for "drive line service"! There will likely be one or more with the Spicer/Dana TM. They can help you. I'm not going to post part #'s but you will need 2-1310's and 4-1350's and there are specific joints available for aluminum shafts. Are they required? There's lots of conversation regarding the "necessity"!

Let us know how you do!

rick go to the dennys driveshaft site they have a kit for the 1/2 shafts 142.00 for the whole deal and they are the strongest made

I found them. 2-1310's and 4-1350's $120 shipping included. I could of driven down town and picked them up. But in Houston traffic! Forget about it.

What part #'s and brand did you end up with?

If it were a driveline shop you might have just carried your shafts "downtown", had them install them and confirm balance on at least the "driveshaft"! It certainly could be "money well spent"!!

They are Spicer. I didn't realize the 4 for the half shafts were different than the 2 for the main shaft but they are. I asked for part#2-1310's and 4-1350's in Spicer brand and he said they had 100 of each. How many did I need?

Make a call early in the AM and tell them you want "solid" joints! No fittings! Did you mention "aluminum" shafts? Did they change the application on you after you did?

You see thay really are "everywhere"! Even in Texas!

Yep your right. There is a difference for aluminum drive shafts. He said the ones for aluminum drive shafts have a special coating on them. So I'm gonna have to take them back today for the right ones. The place is called Randy's drive shafts 713-672-6344 Steve or Mike.

There's "opinions" regarding the joints for aluminum shafts. Some "insist on them" others mention that it's of "minimal concern". Most don't know that there are coated ones available and that is why I mentioned it in my first post.

And no, Spicer is not sold all over the place. I went to four major automotive supply houses and they didn't sell them.
