Beefy!

Here's a comparison photo.

Left is the wimpy thing 1330/1310 I stuck in there in a hurry to get it done for blazer fest last year which ended up not panning out anyway except its a front shaft joint.

Right of course is the 1480 and the flange piece from the previous post. I need to build the attaching flange yet and so on. I plan to have these joints at all 4 locations on the truck when its all said and done.

The only bad part about making the u-joint so strong is that you're moving the weak link to something else. Hopefully it becomes the axle shafts instead of the ring gear or pinion shaft.

However, I was thinking of using one of these u-joints to replace my modified factory CV on the front output of my t-case, I hear they run at a high angle.

Yes, your exactly right! Question becomes what do you want the fuse to be? I do know a few guys that seem to have found a place where either they cannot generate the torque to brake parts anymore or simply cannot find the situation to make it happen. Maybe its just luck! Hopefully I can find that spot! :crazy:
 
if you guys are wanting 1485 sized ujoints the new 14 bolt comes with ujoints that size stock, and i did verify by pulling the blueprints the 11.5 and 10.5 share the same yoke so theres a cheap way to get 1485's. Now 1485's have the same span as a 1415 but have a larger bearing cap, if you want a larger span than a 1415 you can go 1555 whcih is used on some DCX aplications

Any proof? I can't definitively deny it, but I'd be real surprised if 1480 joints were in driveshafts on a light duty truck. Seems like 1410 is the norm.

And as for the 1485 joints, that's AAM's # for the joint, so they aren't necessarily comparable to the spicer numbers. I don't know (and couldn't find with a quick search) what size these joints are.

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'd just like to see some proof ;)
 
aam #'s are just plus five of the dana numbers the joints are the same size, as for proof maby look up replacment joints for a newer truck, I work for AAM as a engineer so i deal with 1485's all day and there application
