Competition 06 Pulling Schedule

Competition Truck Pulls In Ut / Id / Wy

Well I grenaded the stock front CV joint, a 1350 series I believe, at MM a couple weeks so I bought this monster through high angle drive line it's a 1410 series which matches my lower front universal joint this baby is huge compared to the stocker and is a 42 degree joint. not to crazy about all the zerk fittings but there for the roller bearings in the caps and the center of the universals aren't all hollowed out.

I actually did a lot of research about this and found out that a stock CV in the front is a "double 1330" I swapped over to a "double 1350" and a 1410 in the front. I was told by coast driveline, to stay away from the "high angle" stuff, even the 1410 series CV's, he said a 1350 CV is much stronger.

Well, he said it was bad because they had to remove a lot of material to make it a "high angle" application, basically more flex, and that made it weaker.
 
I have a 1410 yoke/u-joint setup in the front of the front driveshaft, and a 1350CV in the rear, out of an F-350 wrecker application. Oh, and a thick driveshaft tube.
 
I went through the ujoint list just this week looking for a yoke. A 1350 and 1410 share the same cap size, the difference is the 1410 has a wider cross. I would think that the 1410 must be stronger, as this is the joint that comes stock in the rear of first gen diesel, and 1350s were stock in other makes gassers. Thats just a guess though, no proven analysis... ... . I would also believe the 1410 will offer more flex itself, as the yokes are larger, more spread out, so more operating room, or angle.



I guess we'll know more after a few more weeks of pulling, right?

I am just working on getting my shafts figured out right now too. I am going to go with a 1410 front shaft setup without the CV-joint (with my 6-speed there is only a slight angle downward so the cv isn't needed) And I am going with a 1480's for the rear shaft. About the rear shaft... what is everyone running for them? single piece or two piece with the carrier? I am going towards a single shaft but will be pushing 80" which is more than the 60" recomded but we will see how it goes. Anyone with a quad-cab long box running a single shaft? vibration problems???
