Stock cant handle what your putting down. Get one from DS!

Very curious why you went with a 2nd stock driveshaft after the 1st one broke instead of going custom?

Shop said the we’re going to get a custom one made. BS
Now for some help, I went to salvage yard a picked up a replacement with exact same I’d sticker on it and put it on. Just to buy time while I order a custom one.
problem heavy vibrations from 25 mph and up. Any quick fixes that will help me for about a week or so while I wait on custom one?

Being from a salvage yard was it beat up any? Probably no longer balanced correctly. Could also be bad u-joints.

The one I picked up and installed turned out to be warped at the back shaft. That's the shaft I really needed to replace. So I had a local shop make me a new one. I called DS and they said they can't ship me a new one till after Christmas. So while I wait I'm going with the one the local shop made me today. Moved the slip joint next to the carrier bearing. Much better design.

WEIGHT WAS WELDED ON

Nobody liked my Red Neck repair shop?

Well it's fortunate a local shop replaced just the back part of the driveshaft for you until you can get a complete custom unit.
I can tell you that a custom steel 3.5" two piece shaft from Driveshaft Specialists is probably going to be $900+

I had an aluminum 4" x .125 HD driveshaft (RCSB) built for me by Ft. Wayne Clutch and Driveline for a little under $800. I've had this about 3 years now with no issues...

I'm reading that some guys go with aluminum and some guys go with steel. Which is stronger?
