Vehicle Fitment Details
The 5A1480-M-XCLB(01-07)-Kit is designed specifically for the 2001 - 2007 Chevy/GMC 2500/3500 with 4WD | MW3 / Allison 1000 drivetrain. Before ordering, confirm that your vehicle's transmission output yoke and rear axle pinion yoke both specify Series 1480 U-joint geometry. This application covers the Extended Cab & Long Bed body configuration.
- Confirm year, model, and cab/bed or wheelbase against the product listing
- Check both yoke series before ordering to avoid mismatch
- Inspect carrier bearing and crossmember condition if the vehicle had previous vibration issues
Engineering & Balance
Aluminum driveshafts like the 5A1480-M-XCLB(01-07)-Kit offer measurable benefits over steel replacements in street and light-performance applications. Reduced rotating weight decreases drivetrain inertia, improving acceleration response and reducing stress on transmission output and axle pinion bearings. The 5" OD OD provides ample torsional stiffness for the 1480 joint series torque rating, while maintaining the clearances required by the factory undercarriage.
- Lower unsprung rotational mass vs. steel OEM shaft
- Precision dynamic balance reduces NVH (noise, vibration, harshness)
- Corrosion-resistant surface -- no annual undercoating required
- Direct bolt-in: no transmission crossmember or tunnel modification
Installation Overview
Installing the 5A1480-M-XCLB(01-07)-Kit requires standard hand tools and a floor jack. Support the rear axle independently before removing the factory shaft. Match-mark the rear yoke before removal so the new shaft can be phased identically. Torque all flange bolts or U-bolt nuts to the vehicle manufacturer's specification and re-check after the first 50 miles.
