Billet yoke daily driver??

[Swisstyphoon]

Is anyone using Allseasons Billet Yoke in a daily driven truck?
Im afraid to feel more vibrations coming from the driveline at higher speed, since the stock yoke looks to me it also has a damper function (2 piece design) which will be eliminated with the billet version.
Is there any difference noticable compare to the stock one?

Just put a steel driveshaft and a billet 1480 yoke from allseasons on my truck and it drives fine with no vibration at all. Even at high speeds.

If all is in balance it should not be an issue.

I had a billet yoke on my old truck and daily drove it and had no issues.

Cool, just ordered a billet yoke & a custom made rear aluminum driveshaft from Allseason/CCI

just out of curiosity, why did you go with an aluminum driveshaft?

I daily drive mine and race it. Smooth as silk. Very nice part.
I run a 5" .125 wall aluminum shaft with 1480's also. ccsb
The steel will bend above 70 mph and distort in lengths over 70 inches.
These are all estimates but there is a website where you can calculate it all out if you need specific numbers.

what if it is a 2 piece steel driveshaft? I really like sled pulling but I am always worried about breaking a driveshaft or u-joint and I was kind of looking into a stronger setup as well. I have an eclb, with a 2 piece steel driveshaft, and a zf6. the carrier bearing always seems to be sloppy on it, even with the new one only having 10k miles on it

Wanted to keep the aluminum version for my daily driver, just needed to be stronger, since I want to go to a pulling event next month.
Im not sure what would work best for your long bed truck with a 2 piece shaft?
I would ask Allseason, im sure they are able to help you.
