Shipping was listed as 35#'s for the pair. I'll try to remember to weigh one tonite. Gonna shoot black ink over the frame this evening.

Transman:

You made a post here, but it locked the thread?  Don't know what it was, so i split my nonsense post and then deleted yours and mine posts.  Repost?

I was just wondering because when you go from a solid drive shaft to a plunging shaft the added components just about doubles the weight. I am just trying to compare apples to oranges here!

I'd guess that's about right.

Ok welders. Which weld,IN YOUR OPINION is best? The one on the left or on the right? One is hand and the other machine. Know which is which?
I can now tell you which one FOOKING BROKE!!!! DAMMIT!!!!!  Guess I'll see how long it takes to get them to fix this shiot IF they even will. Hell I can TIG the FOOKING THING back together a hell of a lot better than that BS. See why I questioned that crap now???????????? Anyone think I MIGHT be a bit pissed?????? thumb down thumb down thumb down thumb down thumb down thumb down thumb down thumb down thumb down thumb down thumb down These fookers aren't even half way welded to the root of the joint. I'm betting the stupid fooker that welded these didn't bevel the joint ,used no filler,and thought since it was a nice neat fooking stack of fricken dimes it was a solid weld. Dumb ass !!!!!!!! nono nono nono nono

I take it that Master got his fueling problem figured out.   eyes eyes Sarcasm

If I believe I cannot do something it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe that I can, then I acquire the ability to do it , even if I didn't have it at the beginning.

Of course a person always thinks the worst so I was thinking something in the adapter went south or the 091 didn't like being in 3rd and hammered in 1st,2nd and 3rd while cutting do nuts in the hard pack. LOL!!! Hell,I'm damn glad it was  someone elses high dollar crap instead of my stuff---------------so far anyway.

I did get to "speak'' to them late yesterday. I was told they would do everything they could to make it right. Said they would call or email me Monday to discuss it directly.Of course if you read this topic from start to here you will see that that may or may not be a reliable statement. I'm thinking they should send me a replacement set,I keep these till here,weld these properly if RCV doesn't come thru in time or even at all. This shit really does piss me off . I mean the incompetence of their welder is at the root of this. If you enlarge the pics and look closely you will see that the fusion only weld wasn't even on center of the joint. Only the edge of the weld pool was near the joint!  I'll get better pics of that later today.  .

the side that didn't break has a 1 good sized mig weld and 1 tig weld but in the pic of the broken one is that 2 tig welds?

ok I know this statement might stir up a hornets nest but I'm going to say it anyway, I believe that a fat mig weld can be stronger than a thin tig weld. I had a buddy (allan) have a pair of drive shafts made ( I know apples to oranges ) at the company I have mine made. they took 2 weeks, and his first thrashing one of the mig welds snapped similar to yours above. he took them back that monday and the welder ( steve ) was so embarrassed and mad at himself he had a new one made by the end of the day, no charge! he decided at that point to quit trying to make small petite welds with the mig and went to fat welds then balanced on the offroad builds, no problems since. now allan was the only one that ever snapped one but he also has a heavy v-6 with 1650 uncut elimanators paddles too!

Enlarge the pic below. The redline is where the weld bead centerline SHOULD have been. I agree that a good weld will be nothing like the one in the pic even tho it "sure is purdy!".
