Driveshaft Double Cardan "H" joint damaged beyond use?
 
6 Attachment(s)
I took the time to dismantle the driveshaft today... Rented a U press from O'reilly's and it came apart pretty easily.
Noticed after giving all the parts a good cleaning some serious wear on the U joint sleeves on the double cardan... see pics.
The 2 close up pics are of two different sleeves...opposite one another on the cardan and would be holding the same U Joint. I bought this shaft as a rebuilt a couple years ago to replace my original shaft. Now I assume that this U joint probably failed and caused this damage?...was rebuilt and sold to me?
Is this a little too much wear to use the joint?

yes... I would most certainly not put this back into my truck.

Most HD drive shaft on the market is from Great Basins Rovers in Salt Lake City.
You might call Bill and let him tell you the differences between his 2 shafts and everyone else.

Just sent you a message.
Guessing I will not regret getting one of your drive shafts by what people are saying on the site.

How long have you been working on drive trains? And will you cover his transmission when it does fail?
