Sweet What is the weight difference? And what brand is the drive shaft? Is it custom made?

the 2wd Quad cabs, and some of the single cab long beds have aluminum drive shafts from the factory. The 4wd has steel drive shaft. From my understanding, they are not interchangeable, as one is longer than the other. It is possible that some of the 4wds came out with aluminum shafts in the early models. May have to do some research on that...Just out of curiousity, what was the cost for the shaft? Do you have any pictures? The website really doesn't show a whole lot as far as the shafts themselves go.

So what have we learned in 2 millennia?

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
- Cicero - 55 B.C.

Apparently, nothing......

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young,
compassionate with the aged,
sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong.
Because someday in life you will have been all of these."

George Washington Carver
