Duramax One Piece 5″ OD Aluminum Driveshaft – 1480 Upgrade Kit – XCSB

Duramax driveshafts are engineered to handle the rigorous demands of 4WD applications, especially in the 2001-2004 Chevy/GMC 2500 models. If you’re experiencing vibrations or power loss during acceleration, it’s likely due to a worn or damaged driveshaft. This specific driveshaft features a 5″ OD aluminum tube with a robust 0.125 inch wall thickness, ensuring it can withstand the torque and stress of heavy-duty use.

The 1480 Series U-joint, with a size of 1 3/8″ cap x 4 3/16″ span, provides a reliable connection between the transmission and differential, allowing for smooth power transfer. The length of 64 5/8 inches from seal to center of U-joint is tailored for the Extended Cab & Short Bed configuration, making it a perfect fit for your application. Remember, 2004 is a split year for truck designs, so ensure your model matches the specifications for proper installation.

When installing this driveshaft, keep these tips in mind:

• Verify the phasing marks align correctly.
• Check for any runout before securing.
• Torque all bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications.
• Balance the driveshaft if you notice any vibrations post-installation.

With the Duramax driveshaft, you can trust that your vehicle will perform reliably under demanding conditions. This part is not just a replacement; it’s a solution to enhance your driveline performance.
