Yup, broke in too, guess that's why I get for having an aluminum driveshaft. Called up a local dealership and they said it'd cost 650CAN for a new one, before taxes.... Anyone know of a good aftermarket rear driveshaft that's anything but aluminum? Don't really wanna pay 650 every 6 months or so, I do lots of offroading.

Thanks.

Any driveshaft that isn't aluminum that'll fit my truck will do the trick. I'm guessing there's no such thing as an oem non-aluminum driveshaft for my model of truck? Kinda starting to regret buying a chevy.

It does not matter what kind of truck you have, if you are that rough on a truck offroad that rocks or what ever are damaging the driveshaft and causing it to break, the make of the truck is not going to matter. These aluminum driveshafts are alot stronger than the old steel ones so it is not a matter of it being weaker that caused it to break, something damaged it and that's what broke it, being a chevy has nothing to do with it.

All it takes is a dint in the aluminum driveshaft, then the shaft has lost alot of it's strength and will twist and possibly break apart under the torque.

You could go to a driveline shop and have a steel one made up. It shouldn't cost that much to have a new one made, they are very simple items.

Ya, been looking at http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com cause I don't know of any where I live in British Columbia, Canada (where i live). Seems these people have a good rep though, and would still be cheaper then an oem shaft purchased at the local dealership. Kinda worried bout getting measurments wrong though.. guess it can't be that hard.
