i contacted the drive shaft shop in feb. 2010 in search for a good price on a drive shaft for my street strip drag car
this is where i get ripped off a week later i call wondering if it shipped yet and they still did not ship my parts out so they got shipped out that day
when i recieved my drive shaft there was no billet pinion yoke and the th400 yoke they did send was a forged yoke not a billet yoke they painted the drive shaft and the yoke thinking this would hide the fact they sent me a forged th400 yoke ,
they charged me $175 for the th400 yoke and $150 for the pinion yoke i havent recieved , i called and called and called i could not get ahold of Frank the owner he avoided me, i spoke with Tad and another guy and i kept getting the run around they said they sent the pinion yoke and it was in the box with the drive shaft well the box was empty no yoke ,
at this point i started looking over the drive shaft thats when i was thinking if they could charge me for billet and send forged maybe the drive shaft isnt c/moly i have to take it to get it checked to find out but i did notice they are not spicer ujoints and the th400 yoke is not billet .
TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT they offered to send me the pinion yoke if i would accept the forged th400 yoke and ujoints or they can me a refund if i returned everything but after read that they have ripped people off i decided to take the pinion yoke that was missing and was forced to accept being charged for billet and spicer for forged no brand , IF I SENT IT ALL BACK i would not have gotten a refund and would have taken more of a loss ,
i have not installed any parts yet i need to have the shaft checked for balancing and the material its made of i also i have to buy a billet yoke and ujoints i thinking of just starting over buying from a more repitable company ,
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AVOID BUYING FROM THEM ,
AVOID THE PROBLEMS AND AVOID NOT KNOWING WHAT YOU HAVE FOR PARTS AND
NOT KNOWING IF YOU CAN TRUST THIS DRIVE SHAFT WITH YOUR LIFE GOING DOWN THE TRACK ,
YOU SHOULD GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR BILLET IS BILLET NOT FORGED
LIKE ORDERING A HAMBURGER WITH CHEESE AND GETTING NO CHEESE AND FINDING OUT ITS NOT ACTUALLY HAMBURGER ,GOOD LUCK

this is a follow up on the checking of the driveshaft material it was made of to see if the shaft was chrome molly or not . i took the drive shaft to vermont to a drive shaft shop who makes and balances performance driveshafts ,
the extra reason for taking the drive shaft to vermont was when i ordered everything from the drive shaft shop i gave them the measurments from the tran to the pinion i also told them i was going with the billet yoke well the crappy 30 year drive shaft owner frank did not compensate for the billet yoke being 3/4 inch to 1 " longer so NOW i had to have an inch taken out of the shaft .
So when i took the shaft to vermont i told them of my dealings with the drive shaft shop so they said they will check the material to see what its made of when they cut it open WELL i got the call today the drive shaft is regular drive shaft tube not chrome molly CR DOM like they billed me for I WANT TO KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO BOUGHT A DRIVE SHAFT FROM THEM DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS DRIVE SHAFT SHOP GAVE TO THEM FOR A DRIVE SHAFT .
IF YOU BOUGHT A DRIVE SHAFT AND HAVE THE BILL SAYING CR DOM TUBING GET IT CHECKED OUT i know what they are doing they are ripping people off really bad selling junk i could have made 3 driveshafts for what i was charged by them . what a crappy company .
