Hey all,
Ready for borgeson shaft. I was wondering what is the advantage of dual universal vs rag joint? Either would be an upgrade. Just picked up a w250. Use for work and tow vehicle. She's a beast, But thats what we need. It's a 4x4 extra cab, stock no lift, Little sloppy in the front end. I have done a few searches on this shaft, seems like the go to replacment. Vehicle has pin above rag joint, so I think dual u joint aplication is doable. This is my first post as well, so, Wav'in a hand from Santa cruz, Ca. Thanks fer the info. Mark

 

Welcome to the DTR! I made my borgenson with a single joint. The only issue is if it falls apart and you wreck, you're liable.

 

Welcome to the club!

I to am looking at the borgeson shaft, but in response to the falling apart issue here is a thread that recently dealt with it:

I am not entirely sure how to proceed now. But this is the place to find out!

Santa Cruz eh?? I am up here in Ridgecrest/Chinalake (on the way to Mammoth)

If you are interested in joining the So-Cal DTR chapter PM (private message) me for details, I am in the process of taking over the chapter presidency. We would love to add you to the roster!!

D-C out!

 

I just ordered rag joint model 940. From reading the safety alert tread. It sounds like the borgeson is not the issue as much as the dodge colunm. I need this thing. I'll let ya'll know if it separates and I crash. I just need to tighten up the front end. Remember to buckle up! Mark

 

Another good thread going now on TDR1 under 1st gens lots of good info on both.
