How did you get the driveshaft from Tom Wood's? I emailed them Wednesday and got an answer back from Shawn Wood that there is the supply chain issue delaying production. I have been on their notification list ever since it was added on their website.

Trust Scotty Kilmer. Now that's funny.

The 10 speed transmission seems to be very cranky when cold. If I start and go when it's below freezing the shift from reverse to drive usually has a slight delay and the shifting is very clunky for the first couple of minutes. If I let it warm up there are usually no problems.

How's the one piece shaft doing since last check in? Hopefully still smooth and problem free. I am waiting to hear back from Tom Woods after getting on their list via the website. Looks like they are still testing a couple of prototypes.

It still has rear leaf springs instead of coils. Wonder if they got rid of the driveline take-off shudder?

Tin snips do a much cleaner job and no plastic saw dust.

Thanks! I will probably reach out to Tom Woods to find out more. I'm also checking into local shops.

Did you have any axle pinion angle shimming done when the one-piece driveshaft installed?

Wow, a u-bolt torqueing thread that is approaching the level of a "what oil should I use" thread. :lipssealed::lipssealed::lipssealed:

@VegasRanger , Now that you have had the new driveshaft just over a week, how is it going? Have you had any vibrations or shuddering develop? I hope it is as smooth as the day you put it on.

Interesting! This one has been on the dealership lot for about a month or maybe just a little more, it's an XLT with the 2.7 Ecoboost. Window sticker says is was born on 7/13/21. I wonder what Ford uses as a deciding factor for one piece or two piece driveshaft? A friend of mine has an F-150...

Here is a picture of a brand new 2021 F-150 Crew Cab 5 1/2 foot box. Apparently they changed things, one piece driveshaft.

What is really interesting is VegasRanger's driveshaft costs less than the kit for the TSB 20-2277 which is $520 vs $451.79 for the driveshaft. https://parts.levittownfordparts.com/oem-parts/ford-kit-rear-axle-and-driveline-re-kb3z4c088b

I wonder if the two piece driveshaft was already manufactured for another Ford vehicle and was easier to grab out of the bin than engineer a new one specific to the Ranger? Two piece is more expensive to make but if it was already in production it might make sense to why. Just taking a guess here.

I am very interested to see how things settle in once you do your work commute for a week or two. I am hoping for the best results. This gives hope for a shudder free future.

I don't have any driveline vibes at highway speeds, we have plenty of roads around here with ripples that do that for us. I have the take off shudder and have reduced it by removing the flat shims the dealership should have when they did the TSB. I have to re-check my pinion angle (last check...

It's interesting how the shudder will vary in intensity. I am anxiously awaiting your results of the one piece driveshaft. Do they already have it fabricated or are they doing the fab and install same day?

Curious if you are still going to get a one piece driveshaft. Did you get a chance to measure you pinion angle using the method in TSB 20-2277?
