driveshaft question

[garychev]

anyone know if the manual driveshaft is the same as the automatic , I have a 2001 lb7 standard cab dually

Never measured but my alli shaft looks like the yoke slides in the same as with the zf6. I think the extension housing on the allison is in place to allow for universial driveshaft length.

Manual and auto shafts are different.

I think all the ZF6 trucks used 1480 joints and the auto trucks used 1410 joint's from 01-07. Not sure about the length. I have a drive shaft out of a 02' regular cab long box with the Allison tranny I would sell.

 

[garychev]

thanks, whats the length of that driveshaft you have?

 

[duramaxzak]

50-1/2" center of joint to center of joint.

I get 59-1/2" , I could do $275 shipped on it. It has New Spicer solid u-joints in it.

Ok,lemme see If its the same, mine is hard to measure ,its in 2 pieces

No I've got 1480s in both of my factory auto trucks

Hmm.....I've owed about a dozen Duramax/Allison trucks and the only one that had 1480 joints is my 11'.

You didn't have an ec/sb did you

 

[garychev]

What exactly is the difference in the two

Nope! That's the only cab configuration I have not owned! Lol

 

[duramaxzak]

What exactly is the difference in the two

The size of the u-joint.

ok so I have the 1480s, so the shaft wont work maybe because its a 3500?

It would work if you changed the yoke on the rear pinion to a 1410 one.

There is probably a few different shafts. If coarse you would have to use the same input for the tranny due to spline count. Also whether its ext. Cab, crew cab, short bed, long bed would probably make them shorter and longer. I don't think u joint would make a difference as long as they bolt up to to yokes on both ends.

I'm positive that my auto shaft is the same length as a stick shaft. In Ecsb setup
