If I was local to them I wouldn't hesitate to have them build another drive shaft for me in the future. I want to think I just had bad luck.

What was the issue Matt? Just wondering? Length? Balance? Yoke?

right around 950. Mainly for saftey... because I do not see the driveshaft exiting from under the vehicle at a 3.5" ride height... "just in case" there is also a loop.

Now see the problem I have with aluminum shafts is when you weld 6061 if I remember correctly the joint and HAZ area is weakened by 61% or so.. IF remember correctly don't quote me if Im wrong.
