What are our options for driveshafts? Mine is about to be toast and wondering if I should replace with another stock unit or if there are upgrades available.

I would leave it, but where it got chewed up its now cracked, so its very near the end.

I thought about it today and checked it and saw the crack :(

I'll try to get a pic here in a sec.

either go down to AZ driveline or TAD up here by the shop and have them build you a new steel one or just get a stock replacment. is it cracking where you chewed up the u-joint yokes from no axle wrap bars?

I have had good luck with Accurate Driveline and machine out of Indy on my puller. They can make u a steel or aluminum one.

You can see the crack starting in the front left and moving back and to the right.
