I recently had my M5OD stick replaced with a C6 Auto on my 95 F150 Extended and the mechanic cut down the front half of the 2 piece drive line instead of replacing it with the proper piece. I now have a slight vibration and would like to know what vehicles would have the correct front shaft. (Keep in mind 1992-96 F150s did not come equipped with C6) Would different years have the corrct lenth and diameter shaft possibley a Van ? What about converting it to a one piece unit ? Oh, engine = 4.9 I6. P.S., going back to the same mechainic is not an option because he kept my truck for 6 weeks and nearly cost me a divorce !

Thanks, Chet

 

Are the two shafts properly phased?

 

Not sure what "properly phased" means, but I can say that the front shaft has some dents in it (caused by me when I did the u-joints) so that may be why it vibrates. I really want to replace it with a correct lenth shaft from a F250 or Heavy duty Van

Look here for an explanation.

 

Yeah, those dents will cause it to vibrate, so replace the driveshaft or it will eat up u-joints like crazy. The C6 tranny was available in the 87-91 trucks, so look for one of those. The van driveshaft will most likely be too different to work. I also think that your wheelbase is too long for a 1 piece driveshaft since you have a supercab.

 

there where C6's available right up through 96

 

Thanks Jim, any idea what year and model of Van or Truck wiould have the correct drive shaft (2 piecw) for my 95 F150 Extended (Super?) cab with C6 ? I am not sure what the wheel base is, but I know that will have to match up.

Thanks, Chet
