1 piece drive line???!!
I installed the 1 piece in place of my two piece, must have saved 50 lbs!! There is a little less slop in the drivetrain now...runs smooth and fit perfect
The aluminum tube is huge!!! Where it necks up it must be 6" in diameter!

Got my One Pice today! So I took out my 2 piece then took out the mounting plate for the hanger, then put a new seal in the t-case for the new shaft, so then I slid the yoke in to T-case fit awsome, then went to go install on to rear end and the shaft is to long. It is to long I figure by like two inches. I guess that is better than to short. So next week I will have to take it to get shortened. This seams weird cuz I thought some people put this in and it was a perfect fit. I do have an early 04 so I am thinking that the distance from rear end to tail shaft on the T-case is Diff. I have a 4 inch lift to and the 1 pice is still to long. Oh well of to the drive shaft place to get it shortened.
That's a bummer that it didn't fit, wonder if it is cause of the year?
Still in the process of trying to find a dealer that has the one I want,
hopefully when I do find it, it will fit if not my wife is going to kill me
( she told to leave it alone if its not broke why mess with it )
We shall see.

Well got my drive shaft back from getting shortened and re-balanced. $135 for the job gess that is not to bad, it is worth every penny as soon as I took her out on a test drive. NO more vibration!!!! The truck drives like new.
Can you post the final length of the shortened shaft. Thanks.
Thank You ALL!!!
I had this issue since new, complained and the dealer did some shimming, etc. you guys and girls know exactly what I'm talking about. Anyways i check in here about 6 weeks ago, and forward off the forum to my dealer general manager. He followed up with his local rep who made sure we did all the other stuff, and long story short, had my new driveshaft installed yesterday morning under warranty. Truck drives awesome. Im still in love...

Most trucks benefit from a 1/2" carrier bearing spacer - more if you have a lift: for instance, a 2" front leveling kit raises the carrier bearing bracket by ~ 3/4". We run 1" of carrier drop on the '05 shop truck - keeps the U-joints happy with 9K# curb weight and 5K# airbags.
Is this eliminating the vibration that occurs on some of the Mega Cab and long wheel base Quad Cabs at highway speeds? My '06 Mega Cab has a six inch Superlift and has had a vibration between 65 - 75 since the lift was put on at 4K miles. My carrier barring is shimmed with the supplied Superlift bracket.
Finally got my one piece today, unpacked it and just like everyone says these things are massive. Measured new shaft then measured old shaft, exactly the same. Will report back after install this weekend with results.
you bet!
Megadunner, I was chasing this problem since the first day i got the truck. Service manager at my dealership did everything they could to try to eliminate the problem. Two years and 100k later- i presented him with a solution. He sends it off to his DC rep, and one hour later the part is on order.
