Ultimate Driveshaft/Bearing Repair

This is great post and I'm sure if my driveshaft fails i will to be going this route no doubt. I think Justin brings up a great point in the fact that we've seen so many failures along the way that we tend to discard the OEM upgrades without giving them a chance to succeed. I'll be the first to admit i pull out many parts without thinking twice that end up in the dumpster. We'll put the bandaid aftermarket quick fix in just as preventative maintenance and quite frankly how can you blame us since our time on these sleds is so limited with warm winters with marginal conditions. Unfortunately we've been conditioned to expect failures and we as a whole have found ways to remove doubt and instill confidence in the machines that we pay dearly for. Will we ever get a brand we can have full confidence in that gives us the power and ride we have come to love?
No
 

Thats exactly it, I decided to try it out with no protective measures after reading the results from the metallurgy testing on the newer updated shafts. I figured id try it out and see what happens. Im pretty observant so its not like I would of ran a driveshaft to the point of causing other issues but much to my surprise every time I inspect it…….its same as new. I am certainly not trying to discourage anyone from the other fixes available but if you got a new sled or new shaft and not sure what to do or havent had the best luck with previous fixes I wouldnt stress much about it and just go enjoy the sled.
