Aluminum Driveshaft--> Less Bucking??

[steveb24]

Im seeing this problem I have over and over about the low rpm bucking that us Cammed gt's have. It really annoyes me and so far ive done poly motor and trans mounts (helped alot), and taken the timing almost all the way down in the 0-2000 RPM range (helped even more). But me being me, i want it perfect or close to, so Im wondering if an ALDS, aside from its other benefits, would help me with the bucking problem? since Im almost certain the bucking is due to the engine shaking the drivetrain, the alds would be stronger.. but im not sure. anyways, thanks guys

I have an aluminum driveshaft, bucking is still a PITA. I'm still running 3.27's though... I hope to go 3.73 or higher soon. I bet higher gears will help a bit.

so your saying that installing an alds will INCREASE the bucking and jerking?

I would suspect there would be no difference by adding an aluminum d/s. When I had my 3.73s installed by an expert, I picked up some rear vibration. It killed that. I cannot see how engine bucking can be overcome by the d/s though especially when you consider the trans is in between the 2.

yeh nothing big, im running 4:10s and heavy duty trans setup and full MM grip in a box kit with the ALDS and I still get the bucking ..but it is minium !

No, I'm saying I don't think it has any effect. Higher gears should help keep you out of that bucking rpm range though. If you rode in my car at around 30mph you could get whiplash
