Is a driveline a normal wear item? My first instinct is no, but the dealer is telling me that it is and they cannot replace it. Any thoughts?

There isnt a certain part called a "driveline". Only thing I would imagine they are talking about is maybe the driveshaft... but I would HOPE a dealership could replace it.

The term driveline normally refferes to the engine, transmission, and rear end... as that is where the power is made ang transmitted.

All those parts are replaceable.

Really dont know what they are talking about... did they reccomend changing your muffler bearings also?

Sorry, I meant driveshaft. What are these muffler bearings you speak of? Do they go on top of the muffler or inside them? If I change them could I see an increase in HP?

AH ok, well the driveshaft is most definatly replacable, if a dealership claims they cant replace it be sure not to go there again...




Yeah the muffler bearings will help. I suggest some blinker fluid too while you are at it, and if you want the best gains get an o-pipe to replace your h-pipe. LS1's will phear you.

Yeah, they said that it wouldn't be under warranty. I thought it was complete crap, I just wanted to make sure before I laid my foot down.

Ah, well, if you have basic tools and are patient changing a driveshaft is pretty easy.

Once the car is up on jacks its not bad.

The dealer will probaly try to hose you on it.

just curious but what brought about a driveshaft issue? by your question it sounds as if you just want to replace it, just cause. Maybe more info would help.

Actually U pipes are better since they send exhaust gases back to the engine so it can be combusted again.







JK!

The yolk is broken so it makes a really loud bang whenever I turn. I did end up getting them to replace the drive shaft and also replacing my flywheel.
