For all of those who have installed an aluminum driveshaft, did you reuse the four stock bolts, or use new ones instead? It just seems that you could stick some red locktite on the old ones and be done with it...well anyhow let me know what you all have done. Thanks!

Re-used stock drive shaft bolts half a doze or so times. No problems.

I reused mine but I used blue loc-tite on mine just in case I ever have to take the D/S off again. The red is a PITA to losen sometimes , but the blue will do just as good as the red.
