Billet output shafts for 46RH/47RH?
Are there 47RH billet output shafts available, or only for the 47RE? Anybody know who makes 'em or who stocks 'em?

Chris,
I think the reason has to do with lack of demand. I currently only make output shafts for the 47RE & 48RE (1996-Current.) IMHO There arn't enough 47RH (1989-1995) trucks racing at that level to justify the time/cost for my company to produce one.

keep in mind, ATS' shaft is NOT billet. It is a stock shaft that is put through a complicated machining process to pin the weak stepped portion of the shaft with billet pins and a collar. They also require the head gear from the tcase if it is a 4x4 because the new shaft requires machining it as well.
DTT does make RH shafts, but only sporatically when they get enough of THEIR customers who need them. So no, you can't call and order one, but if you are one their customers, they will place you on a list and notify you when they are slated for production. But trust me, they are worth waiting for......like all good things.

I'm with Don. The ouput shaft in the RH is bigger and stronger from what I understand. Jeff Garmon has never broken his and it is stock. He only has a billet input now. So I'd say the other shafts will do what 90% will want to accomplish without the expense. I could be wrong, but I bet Fletcher is running about the same set-up as Jeff.

You wouldn't be talking about me would ya
Yes, I broke one. I now have a cryoed one in it, but would like a billet one.
As a side note I have also twisted a billet input shaft.
