My 89 Ford van was built with one from the factory. It was very light and did a good job transferring the rotational force form the transmission to the rear axle. I swapped it out for a steel driveshaft due to transmission and rear axle changes, but i will be reinstalling the aluminum driveshaft eventually. The only real advantage to an aluminum driveshaft is weight savings. |

And More power gets to the rear tires with that weight savings. Greg |

Never had an aluminum driveshaft, but Denny's makes quality products. I had a HD & a stub shaft for my Jeep made by them years ago. http://www.dennysdriveshaft.com/index.html |

My Dart has one, came from the JY. Marked "Ford van", a la Reed. Tape measure said it was the right length, used a hybrid u-joint to match it to the yokes, and away we go. I didn't weigh it, though. But I can feel all that extra power!!!!
