204249-3 – Short Couple Driveshafts – 1550 (1.375 x 4.964) Series – 9.000″ Flange to Flange

204249-3 1550 Series Short Couple Driveshaft – 9.000" Flange to Flange

The 204249-3 is a 1550 series short couple driveshaft with a 9.000" flange-to-flange span and 5.500" centerline-to-centerline. The 1550 series cross is 1.375" cap diameter by 4.964" cap width. Within the 204249 family, this variant sits between the 204249-2 (8.750" F-to-F) and the 204249-4 (9.250" F-to-F), each 250 thousandths apart.

Specifications

• Part Number: 204249-3
• Series: 1550 (1.375" x 4.964")
• Flange to Flange: 9.000"
• CL to CL: 5.500"

When fitting the 204249-3, verify the 9.000" F-to-F and 5.500" CL-to-CL against the installed drivetrain. The round 9.000" F-to-F may match certain OEM specifications directly, but confirm by measuring rather than relying on nominal figures. The 1550 series requires yokes with 4.964"-wide cap pockets — not the narrower 4.188" pocket used on 1480 series hardware, even though cap diameter is the same at 1.375".

Cross-reference 204249-3 against the full 204249 family length table when comparing adjacent variants. If the application CL-to-CL measures between 5.500" and 5.750", take a precise measurement to determine whether the -3 or -4 variant is correct before ordering. The 1550 series delivers meaningfully higher torque capacity than the 1480 at the same cap diameter due to the wider cap bearing surface.
