Broke Boot Off Drive Shaft

[WILDHOBO]

I agree to an extent. It has been over a year so far with no problems. Aside from a creaking sound with turning and articulation that I wonder might be the driveshaft but likely just the OEM underbody panels/crossmember or shocks or some bolt somewhere.

But I’m about to drive 4,000 miles on my move to Alaska in a couple weeks with all of my life in the truck. If I have a driveshaft fracture/failure in the middle of rural British Columbia with no signal because I skipped on a $100 driveshaft, I’ll never forgive myself. Service/parts are definitely more expensive up in Anchorage.

So I’m going to pick up the Marketplace driveshaft this weekend and get it installed next week. Hard to say no to a $100 take off driveshaft.

Thanks everyone. This was incredibly helpful.

For that drive. Holy shit replace it. And congrats on moving to such an amazing place.

Got it replaced today. Drives the same on the street obviously but I definitely feel better knowing I have a slip joint boot again. Thanks again, everyone!

I have the front for sale that I got as part of the sale for the stock rear driveshaft.
