Default Re: Driveshaft question

If you need the speed, buy a custom racing shaft. Drive shaft RPM approaches engine RPM and that is waaaaay too much for a factory tube.
The shaft needs to be built perfectly straight and then balanced.
Look at your shaft (the one on the truck!) and you will likely see little square weights tacked onto it. It is balanced for common highway speeds, not high speeds.
