Hey everyone, I hope this finds you all well. Recently did some inspecting under my truck and noticed that I am missing a weight off of my driveshaft. Im pretty sure I know when it happened and at higher speeds i can tell its not there!! So does anyone know a good shop to get it balanced?

Hey Dan,
A few weeks back, I was down on Hwy 17, towards the USS Carolina looking for a place to pick up parts for my OilGuard and stopped in what I seem to remeber was FleetPride shop on the left side of the Hwy. It's just past some RV Custom shop and in a building that sits low off the Hwy.
They are one of these places that make u-bolts, shackles and such, and I saw drive lines sitting on racks that look as if they were built by them.
They were very helpfull and I bet they could hook you up.

Also, in a pinch, a large hose clamp with the adjuster sitting where your weight was, when tightened will work in a pinch.

Nice!! I will give the clamp a try. A buddy of mine used to do business there when he worked at a shop down there! I will give them a shout.
