Driveshaft troubleshooting

I wanna make the truck go fast fast but my driveshaft is holding me back, what’s a decent one to hold up to 450-500 hp and faster speeds

 

Have you regeared? If so, you probably want to avoid a single piece shaft, as the critical speed is lower on those. What kind of problems are you having with your current DS? I am somewhere around the 400 crank hp mark with my truck on the stock DS and i havent had any issues. Had it up to 130mph on a track

 

Also curious what kinda performance mods youve got going on! Would love to see some pics

 

I’ve heard of DS’s grenading at higher speeds and I didn’t wanna take any risks when I remove the limiter, I’m planing to go fbo, rebuild the motor for boost, and get a stage 3 URD Supercharger

 

You might try giving Tom Woods Driveshafts a call. They may be able to lead you in the right direction for a performance DS. If you do end up speaking with them and they make a recommendation, please do post up! im thinking about converting my truck to AWD and will need custom driveshafts made for mine in the near future

Bro that was the first thing on my mind when I decided to build it, but it got really pricey when I planed it out

 

Hmm yeah i know what you mean. I actually just checked their website and it says they dont make driveshafts for 2wd or prerunners, so that wouldnt work..

I recommend popping into this LT BS thread and asking someone who they got a custom shaft for 2wd/prerunner from. You might also consider posting in a regional thread near you, someone might have some knowledge or know of a shop nearby.

Speed = Money

 

So true, especially if you want to keep a toyota motor in these things and go fast

 

I got a buddy selling a 2jzgte I’m really considering swapping
