Maybe they include a free DAMPER ?Now you can fix what should have been stock from the factory for the low price of $700. ?

Quoted from Tom Woods page...I've been waiting for them to be in stock. Now that they have them they increased the price more than $100. With shipping it's probably $800. Screw'em. My local shop is a lot cheaper and no shipping cost.
All I saw was "shipping calculated at checkout". I didn't go any further. Even with free shipping I don't think it's worth it. Local shop will mod mine for $300.Quoted from Tom Woods page...
Free UPS Ground shipping anywhere in the lower 48 states on any order over $200. $10 shipping on orders less than $200
Bad design? It has higher speed/rpm potential than a one piece? If I plug my tire size and rear gears into the calculator at 100mph I'm over the 4000rpm limit of that driveshaft unless I'm misreading it.It still has me baffled why Ford would do a 2 piece shaft that costs way more than a 1 piece.
Additionally, the stock shafts are not phased. Another head scratch. There is more going on here than what meets the eye.

I bought this kit, which is in a TSB, for the F-150 slip joint clunk. So far this grease has lasted, on my Ranger, the longest without clunking. I cleaned out the parts of the slip joint with surgical precision and put the new grease in and secured the boot. I gave up with the dealer and did it myself.Im on Vacation this week , i guess i will mark that off the list , bullcrap that the dealer wouldnt ...
