    Recently had some work done on my truck under ext warranty plan (yeah! - paid for itself)

    Replaced the driveshaft and water pump.

    I made it clear to them that I wanted an OEM driveshaft as the original was defective (thunk/clunk TSB) They were able to get the OEM approved as it would arrive 3 days faster than Aftermarket variety.

    Crawled under the truck to check workmanship per usual when I'm not the one doing the work, and the driveshaft is a Spicer. Is that what Toyota uses for OEM?

    Thanks!
