Front driveshaft
I need a new front driveshaft for a 2006 F250, 4wd (obviously), automatic, manual transfer case (if that matters). That seems to be a needle in a hay stack. Am I looking in the wrong place? Is there a preferred aftermarket driveshaft? Thanks.

Well, if that’s the case, what’s wrong with doing that to the one I have?

I recalled earlier today that my mechanic said that the one currently on my truck is aftermarket, so I guess I won’t be rebuilding that one.

Just the u-joints, but it’s an aftermarket shaft (used truck, don’t know the story), so I ***-u-med that you would not want to rebuild an aftermarket one. Am I wrong?

u joints are u joints. You are not rebuilding the drive shaft, just replacing u joints. A common repair for any driveshaft.
Go the the auto parts store, get some u- joints and replace them.
