I'm going to be calling them soon but what's yalls take on how the warranty works
 
There warranty is life time of the product as long as you own it, unlimited broken shafts.
ONE replacement because of u-joint failure unless you buy up graded u joints
 
So if the shaft it self brakes then I get a new one and as long as I have the up greaded u joint then I'm good there pulse I'm just running 36 in tires so it should hold up pretty good
 
Id make sure I'm telling you right when you talk to ecgs but yes. Warranty on shafts unless you brake an ear off of the axle that's a u joint fault. If you buy upgraded u joints then they are covered as well as the joints themselves... I think that's what I was told
 
I didn't buy the upgraded u joints because they don't have needle bearings and I still drive mine on the road some. I asked and if I upgraded later on warranty still works the same.


Once again I don't work there or talk to them recently so things may have changed, but hands down best place I've ordered parts from. They lost a couple bucks from me on my last order because they were honest and said there was no real difference between the two products I had picked but one was 25 bucks more. And it shows up within two days no matter what it is
 
Right I understand I'm calling tomorrow and talk with them some thanks giys

x2. My personal opinion, it's not worth upgrading d44 shafts to still run Spicer or cheaper joints. Most of the d44 breakage I see is joint related. Also verify that your steering stops are set correctly to keep from binding the joint.
 
So with 36 inch tires if I buy a really good u joint and check the stops I haven't broken a shaft buy it's self but the joint broke then the shaft
 
Chromos with good joints on 36s with those axles, steering stops set, you should be able to beat it like it owes you money! Save your stock as a spare, send the broken off if you do brake.

I'm not saying you will not break shafts.... but if what you are currently breaking is joints/ears, I would get some Spicer joints with no grease drillings, stock shafts; tack the caps in the shafts, and limit the steering stops where the shafts cant bind. If you are breaking shafts and joints, I would go chromo shafts and joints, and not look back.
 
I think I'm going to go with au joint first and try them then if that does not work I'm going to do the axles when I get the money for that I don't know exactly what the axles can do because my joint keeps breaking first so I would like to try to join and see what happens then thanks guys for all the help and all the info and I'll let you know what's going on
 
Why is it hard to find chromoly axle shafts for Dana 44 passenger drop out of a J10
