I got mine from Performance Driveline out of California. https://www.alldrivelines.com/2014-2018-silverado-2-piece-conversion-drive-shaft-kit-high-horsepower/

Easy to install and diff brace came with template to drill into frame. Most local driveshaft shops can make a custom one as well.

I ended up calling them and spoke to Shelby. she hooked me up with a 1,200 hp 7,300 tq rated shaft with an upgraded billet yolk rated over 1000 hp. for $680 shipped. BOOM!Can't wait to roll on that thing.

I just came across this thread today. Coincidentally, my truck is ALSO at Granite State Dyno right now... Also, I spent a good half hour looking under your hood when I was in there a month ago! When's your dyno day? I'm slotted for the 25th of this month.

That's awesome.

I'm getting her turbo-ed but I don't have the full build details... James over there is doing a modest work up for me to make 500whp. I'm just letting letting him do his thing and I'll have some details to post by next week. If you see the see black Sierra in there when you get yours tomw, let me know how it's looking! Can't wait to see your results.

man you bet. I'll take some pics and post them here when I leave.

I actually did the same thing. I told James.. "I want to make 1200 by next year (2020)" This is phase one. Once I get the new Transmission We'll go back to tuning for the rest !!!

First couple rips on the Dyno. Ran 505 @4800 rpm on 3.8 lbs boost no methanol. This is going to be crazy!!!!

Mileguru · July 12, 2019

Can I see it!?!?! I'm going to be in Madbury, NH from July 25th - Aug 6th.

I've never been in a turbo truck before and I'd love to see how it feels compared to my supercharger.

DenaliX14 · July 12, 2019

Just made 610 @ 6lbs boost.

Will post a video soon

I live in MA. I’m not sure if the truck will still be at the shop. We do Need to order a different waste gate spring. That may keep it their. I’ll let you know.

DenaliX14 · July 18, 2019

New springs are in and need to be installed. Will have some new Dyno videos and numbers come next week. ALMOST DONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Looked at your truck today. What a sweet spot for that turbo. Looks good!! You waiting for Alex to tune?

DenaliX14 · July 19, 2019

Saw the truck today. Driveshaft was delayed due to the storms down south. Should have it Tuesday. Truck will be fully tuned Thursday/Friday and ready for pickup Saturday (I hope!!). Sounds crazy!

Beautiful!! Thanks for the pic! Last I heard it still needed the intercooler and intake, so maybe another week or so and then the tune.

Hate to say it, I kept thinking that for mine too. I’d throw another 3-4 weeks on your expectation. Just to be on the safe side. They have a lot of work going on and only tuning twice a week makes that a little tough. But the work on both sides is worth the wait. They won’t let you go until you’re 100%! I’ll be their Wednesday to drop off the drive shaft. I’ll snap a couple of yours and post.
