{"product_id":"5-od-aluminum-driveshaft","title":"5\" OD Aluminum Driveshaft","description":"The Merchant 5A1480-M-XCSB(01-04)-Kit is a one-piece, heavy-duty aluminum driveshaft, serving as an upgrade from OEM two-piece shafts for specific Chevrolet and GMC trucks. It is constructed with a robust 0.125-inch wall, 5-inch OD seamless aluminum tubing, designed to handle demanding conditions and rated for over 7,000 ft-lbs of torque, making it ideal for heavy towing. The kit features Spicer cold-forged, sealed 1480 Series U-joints, known for their strength and reliability, and includes all necessary components for installation, such as the transfer case slip yoke. The driveshaft is precision balanced and ready to bolt in, with installation typically involving sliding in the yoke and bolting straps. Users are advised to check for clearance issues with the larger diameter tubing after installation.\n\nThis driveshaft is specifically designed for 2001-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and GMC Sierra 2500 models equipped with the Duramax Diesel engine, Extended Cab, Short Bed (6.5 ft), and 4WD. It is compatible with both automatic and manual transmissions. It's important to note that this is a direct-fit upgrade for specific configurations and not a universal fit.\n\nAction Machine Inc. backs this driveshaft with a lifetime warranty on welds and a 1-year unlimited mile warranty on parts, reflecting confidence in its quality and longevity. The aluminum construction offers benefits such as reduced weight and improved strength compared to stock steel shafts, contributing to a more reliable drivetrain.","brand":"Merchant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52689062166840,"sku":"5A1480-M-XCSB(01-04)-Kit","price":1134.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/4895\/3144\/files\/687381139.webp?v=1784901154","url":"https:\/\/store.motormia.co\/products\/5-od-aluminum-driveshaft","provider":"MOTORMIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
