Conversion Driveshaft – Flange to Flange – Aluminum, 5″ OD, Ford F250/F350, 4WD, Super Duty Truck – Max Length 90″

Conversion Driveshafts are critical components in the driveline, transmitting torque from the transmission to the differential. This specific 1480 Series driveshaft is engineered for Ford F250/F350 Super Duty trucks produced between 2000 and 2018. With a robust 5″ OD aluminum tube, it balances weight and strength effectively, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.

The choice of aluminum as the material not only reduces overall weight but also enhances corrosion resistance, crucial for vehicles operating in diverse environments. The maximum length of 90″ ensures compatibility with various configurations while maintaining structural integrity under load. It’s essential to match the driveshaft length precisely to avoid issues such as vibrations or premature wear.

• Verify phasing marks during installation to ensure proper alignment.
• Check the runout to prevent vibrations that can lead to component failure.
• Torque all bolts to specification for secure fastening.
• Balance the driveshaft if any vibrations are detected after installation.
• Ensure the U-joint size matches the Spicer SPL55XU specifications for optimal performance.

This driveshaft is designed to handle the torque loads typical of the F250/F350 series, providing reliable performance in demanding conditions. The 1480 Series U-joint size of 1 3/8″ (1.375″) cap and 4.188″ span is specifically chosen to accommodate the necessary torque transfer without compromising durability. In summary, this Conversion Driveshaft is a vital upgrade for any Ford Super Duty truck owner looking to enhance their vehicle’s performance.
