    I'm looking to replace the driveshaft on my 2003 Tacoma. A u-joint on the double-cardan went and the yoke on the rear propeller shaft is worn. I've read that double-cardan u-joints can't be rebuilt so I'm looking to buy a used part on E-Bay. I noticed that driveshafts on E-Bay specify 4 or 6 cyl and I was wondering if there's a difference?

    There are about 14 different drive shafts for your model year truck. You'll need to give us more information: 4Cyl/6Cyl, Auto/Manual transmission, 2WD/4WD, single cab/extra/double cab. Or you could take a look on this site and apply the appropriate filters. There are a few of us running drive shafts from that company and I haven't seen anyone report a problem yet.

    4 run, 2 don't
    Don't forget the 4x2 or 4x4 option either.
