Thanks! I will probably reach out to Tom Woods to find out more. I'm also checking into local shops.
Keep us posted. Talk to Shawn at Tom Woods
I'm on the wait list with Tom Woods - wondering about a few things:
I wonld not be surprised if the mount just stays where it's ar since it is fairly close to the body.
That's what I assume as well - I looked at it pretty carefully when I was under the truck this past weekend lubricating my slip joint, and it appears as though there is plenty of clearance. I guess I also wonder if they install a driveshaft loop for the 1-piece, and if so maybe it gets mounted where the carrier bearing was?
Mine has been holding up great, no issues. I’ve put a few thousand miles on it now and have taken it off roading a few times, and no issues. The mounts stay put, no cutting. Plenty of room. Mine was a simple bolt on, no modifications to the truck itself. I can revert back to the factory driveshaft whenever I want.
How's the one piece shaft doing since last check in? Hopefully still smooth and problem free.
No issues at all. Has a few thousand miles on it and some crazy off roading since install. I know Tom Woods sold one to a Ranger owner recently based on an IG post I saw recently.
My truck has those good vibrations…. And them sweet temptations ?
My 2008 f150 had a single piece shaft and the rear trans housing broke due to a u joint going bad and the bronze bushing wearing out. Parts counter guy said it's super common and they had 12 on the shelf.
I used your build sheet the shaft came in today but unfortunately there was a little problem, Not sure what transpired but the size that was built was 63.265” and was supposed to be 67.250 so John will call me tomorrow.. it’s a nice shaft and they do some really good good from what I seen on Facebook and there website.. it will go back and and it will all work out..Know a lot of you been waiting for this, so here it is. Attached are pictures and details of work done.
Only drove it 35 miles. So far all highway vibrations gone, no more shutter at take off. Smooth all the way around! Drove it up to 90mph.
I’ll keep you posted once I start the work week on Monday and start driving back and forth to work every day.
Damn that sucks man. Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. Been busy as hell. Hopefully John gets your squared away. I haven’t had any issues with mine. Probably has 8K miles on it now
