Help drivelineman!

We actually have a non c/v set-up also its custom -that will get 41 degree's but have some vibs due to operating angles- if you choose to go with the flex joint you better buy two joints save one for a spare- Jess

Let's see your setup and cost. I am not scared of vibration...

You support the boards and if you have a better option, I would rather my money go to HAD...

Can you elaborate on this? What size joints? Pics?

Why?? They have never had one break. Thats like saying if you go 1410 to carry a 1410 joint as a spare.

here's an idea- Jess

in this situation this joint is close to one ton in strength aprox cost 289.00 to swap it- Jess
 
Just to clarify- A run of the mill 42* CV shaft with 1410 at the axle usually run about $600-650 give or take.!Discalimer! That was NOT a quote! I only know what I see on the invoices that Jesse types up.

An assembled 42* CV only would be less obviously.

Scott- yes, the 42* cv will bolt to the flange on your t-case. Assuming it's a 2" pilot, 99% of HAD flanges are.

The 42* CV has 1410 sized joints...They are NOT actual 1410's...Just a comparable size.

And again...I don't set or quote prices...Call Jesse for that. :)
 
Just to add a little info on the superflex joints. I have Jesse's 42* with i think 9" of travel. I ended up having to run a superflex because of my droop, axle 1 1/2" forward, and a horrible overall pinion angle. Although the superflex joint fixed my binding problems, it vibrates like crazy- part of this is because the HAD long travel shaft does not have coated splines which caused it to vibrate even more. With a standard spicer joint there is almost no vibration even with my horrible pinion angle and non-coated splines. I decided that I would live with the vibes because I enjoy all the flex my rig has. Don't get me wrong, I love my front driveshaft because it has stood up to everything I have thrown at it without so much as flinching. That reminds me, I need more pro-long grease!
 
so you couldnt run the superflex joints at the axle yoke of a cv shaft without mods?

Sure you can without any mods. Thats what there ment for.
 
This is quite a post - the main reason for the vibs is its a single joint at each end trying to cancel allot of angle- this results in a terrible torsional vibration that starts generaly around 5 mph- My own truck has around 18 degree's operating at the front axle and a c/v up top- the 42 degree - seems to run okay- Not perfect -but tollerable- its near 30 up top- the woods joint brekas some rules its off-set causing extra torsional points to happen -thus more vibs-by yhe way we have flanges that allow for up to 41 degree's on a dana 44 and dana 60 - Jess
 
here's the front shaft on mine- Jess

Well, I broke the HAD 1350 CV today. The internal ball broke. I guess there was too much angle for it.

Anybody know what degree a standard 1350 joint is rated for?

What are the specs on your front shaft? Got a picture handy?

Are you running shims on your front axle?
If I had a high pinion housing I wouldnt even need this.
