What about AlloyUSA Shafts?? They have a kick ass warranty.....

 

I have yukon shafts and joints in my d44. They have only been in for about 3 trips, but so far so good. Not sure what kind of jeep you have or what engine, but I would guess my trooper is a good bit heavier and it has decent torque so I would imagine either of the shafts and joints you are looking at would fair prett well.

 

CJ 7, 35's Klune V.

 

Go with Alloy USA or Superior. I tried a set of yukon & the bent within 4 runs. Installed the superiors & have beat the hell out of them for 18 months with no problems.

 

Here is a Yukon, driver side, from a YJ D30 :flipoff2: with a lock rite and 33's. Only 4 times out.

 

Yukon gets their axles from about 4 different companies. I currently am running yukon axles that were made by dutchman I was told. I am running a healthy smallblock chevy, atlas, and 35 inch krawlers. I beat the shit out of my front end and have never had a bit of touble with my yukon axles or super joints. O ya they are dana 44s out of a scout. I normally broke a spicer joint or outer every other trip. Yukon has some good stuff

 

I will never again buy Yukon shafts, I think my next step is Alloy USA. The craftsmanship of the machining sucks ass on the Yukon alloy 44 shafts. I had to "remachine" the splines to get them in the sidegears on the long side and had to grind down the crappy casting marks on the yoke part just to get them to go through the knuckle. The yokes were not even close to being even, friggen bigger on one side than the other. No symetry. Crappy splines.

I have the JE Reel Alloy Cryo joints. I'm happy so far. I run a beefed up 360 on propane, with a front 44 and 38 inch TSL's.

 

This debate has been going on for a while now. I had a set of yukon shafts in the dana 35 in my tj (thats right, a d35 ). I beat the piss out of it both on and off road with 35" mtr's and they never gave up. Thing hit so hard from the extra slop in the detroit that I could pull the front tires off the ground when shifting into second at full throttle, that should definately have broke somethin.

Superior and Longfields 300M for me work.:smokin:

Thanks Yoda

Budd are you working them over good.

Hell, if I didn't break them trying to get them out after he installed them wrong, they should be ok on his scout. :laughing:

Ouch, that had ta hurt.:laughing:

 

Between the choices listed I would run the Superior and CTM combo, but if you broadened your horizons I would also check into Alloy USA and either the Longfield or JE Reel joint. I've been running the Alloy USA and CTM combo and they have survived trips to JV with no problems.

Superior has rolled splines, Not cut like yukon and alloy. Out of the three I would run superior or alloy. I have superior and have not had a problem with the axles at all. I dont really think you need to read a discussion about why superior and alloy are better the yukon, Just look for all the break threads on yukon and you wont need to see a discussion as to why there are better. In this case you will get what you pay for. I belive that you can get a set of alloys a little less than superior, But they are both great companies.

 

Alloy USA has gotten tossed into the mix - so I guess tossing Warn in too wouldn't hurt.

I run Warn shafts & CTM's in my junk and have been happy with this mix so far. I got this stuff foolishly cheap & still new, so costs for me were ~1/3 of what they normally would have been, which helped.

 

Thanks for the feedback. Great discussion.

 

check the tech department before making your decision - more information never hurt anyone...

If you are serious about him installing them (300M joints) wrong, can you tell me how you could install them wrong? I ask because my passenger side was tighter than shit when I first put it in. I had to add grease 2 times while out on the first run because it was making noise.
They are working great now. I just grease them up before every trip.

 

I use Superior in my rear 9", and Yukon's in my front 44. Neither of them have given me any problems, but the Yukons have only been in for one wheeling trip.

I'm currently using Spicer joints in the front, so I have no input about them.

 

I ordered Yukons for my front when I couldn't find any others quick, and what came in the box was Warns???

How could you tell?

Had a Warn tag and part number on it.
