The drive shaft showed up today! Got it in and took a couple trips up and down the street. Damn snow/ice storm here today. It shifts through 3rd Nice and smooth, not harsh at all. My last 65's were too harsh. Only put maybe 1/4 mile on it so just to test that it shifted. Weather looks like crap here for about a week. Still gotta put some miles on it to check everything out. Did have a small drip of transmission fluid at the compression fittings on the new trans cooler. Gotta look at that.

Anyway. The new DS. 4" aluminum with the 1350 joints. $516 with shipping.

Purty!. No weights on it looks like they got it to balance with a little material remove at the end?

Thanks Bryan. Yep the weather sucks. I hoped to get the DS in yesterday so I could take it for a drive before the storm.

Couldn't use your crossmember. It was a 2wd and wouldn't work. Still have it if ya want it back. I did start to cut on it a bit thinking I could make it work until I found the right one. I could weld it back up like new
