I know there are shafts for quad cabs, and standard cabs with long boxes, quads with longs, but is there a shaft for a MegaCab?

I have the launch shutter pretty bad, and I either have to change my mid-bearing point or something. A one piece shaft would be nice.

 

Yes. It's the same as a long bed shaft.

FWIW, I had to shim my carrier bearing with my leveling kit and blocks. You probanly need to also. Mine shimmed down around 3/4".

 

Search for one piece shaft here and you will even find the part number.

 

52123161AA 1 8 42, 81 DG8 Has Yoke With Damper
52123161AB 1 8 42, 81 DG8 Has Yoke Without Damper


OE part numbers. 42 is QC LWB, 81 is Mega Cab. They are on the same chassis.

 

5213 3162 AA is the part number for the Megas with the G56.

Got that number from DOGHOUSE, that's who I got my one-piece from.

on edit - removed the part number for the auto tranny.

 

I was afraid I'd get a bunch of part numbers that didn't match with what others were saying

Carol, I have the single but our trucks HAVE to be the same.... Doghouse you say? How do you like it?

 

That is incorrect. That number is for the 545 RFE which the diesels do not have.

The numbers I posted are correct for the 48RE. And match what Rich sent me.

 

@ Lost Lake - I LOVE it, no more vibrations, no more problems, I should have done it LONG before I did.

From day one of owning my truck, I bought it new, I had problems, the dealership screwed around and spent 3 years to no avail, and it cost them a LOT more in the overall than if they had just replaced my stuff with the one-piece to begin with. I even tried to discuss this one-piece approach with them, but no, they could only keep putting the same old garbage on my truck, and as always, problems.

I should have sent them a bill for my time, would have bought several shafts . . or other goodies.



@ no 6 oh no - hmmmmm . . kinda funny, that was the p/n Rich sent me when I was thinking about getting the one-piece, he sent me both numbers since he did not know what tranny I had . . oh well, if you have the 48RE and you have that shaft number, then you know better than me, I can only speak to the G56 side of this for sure.

Just converted to the one piece this past week, very smooth, no vibes, no shudder. Ordered mine from Doghouse also, got it in 2 days

Part #



It's big

 

Carol, thanks!

I'll call Doghouse and check pricing. I don't want this shutter to take out my new trans....

 

Doghouse will do you right...
