Re: Carbon Fiber Driveshaft??

Those drive shafts are pretty light but 8-10 year in the rust belt the alum end's where the glue hold the carbon fiber on. The alum swells splits the carbon fiber strains you have to buy a new drive shaft. They did this take some weight off the truck ( and makes you buy new drive shaft more sale of drive shafts) same as the steel open lug nuts with alum cover !! to sell more of those lug nuts.
