[@TwanG100k]

Thanks for that info bro

[@Dashsgarage]

No problem.

[@moneyandmuscle400]

Good looking out onnthe info. I just got mine for my camaro.

[@Dashsgarage]

Welcome.

[@Mr.Frost181]

I'm using the Astro van steering shaft it's very solid

[@Dashsgarage]

Might try it on the next one.

[@Mr.Frost181]

@@Dashsgarage yep works very good takes all the slack out just has to be clocked i believe 90 degrees and have it welded back on when you're good

[@Dashsgarage]

@@Mr.Frost181 I'll keep that in mind

[@Mr.Frost181]

@@Dashsgarage yeah there's videos on it check it out and be sure to check out my channel I have a 86 monte Carlo SS I hadn't got around to install Mine yet because lots of stuff keep coming up when I get parts lol

[@Mr.Frost181]

@@Dashsgarage make sure you go for the 2005 Astro van I believe is the one

[@JF-sv7qo]

Would like to see how everything hooks up hoses and purging

[@Dashsgarage]

The driveshaft or gear box. They hook up just like factory. Just have to get new lines.

[@r.joseph8911]

I’d like to buy those “x” cross braces on the core support.

[@Dashsgarage]

I'm sure they are available. Where are you located?

[@andrewc2002]

Gotta do that on my Monte Carlo. You used the gearbox from the 94 Cherokee as well?

[@Dashsgarage]

The gear box on the Monte is off of another gbody. I'm planning on doing the gear box off of a jeep on the elco just haven't gotten around to it yet. But I know one is off of the cherokee and the other is the Grand cherokee can't think of it off the top of my head wich one you pull from which.

[@nitomeanboyGBODY]

A small wack of the mallet knocks those plastic pieces off with no issues. And instantly collapses it. No heat needed.. did a few myself.. frees them up easily

[@Dashsgarage]

Must have had some really good ones. I know the plastic comes off pretty easy. But the ones I've done have all needed some heat.

[@nitomeanboyGBODY]

@@Dashsgarage gotcha.. yea I probably lucked up

[@Dashsgarage]

@@nitomeanboyGBODY plus its always fun to play with the torch.

[@papergatorzfedducca7998]

Does this help with headers without bearing them?

[@Dashsgarage]

It does help, depending on the header design. Some still don't work.

[@Rero-gg7oe]

How did you extend it back out

[@Dashsgarage]

Hammer/mallet and some type of bar

[@richardeddings7259]

Did you have any clearance issues between the shaft and the headers?

[@Dashsgarage]

Depends on the style of headers. Its supposed to be more clearance.

[@richardeddings7259]

@@Dashsgarage OK I’m going to order one today. You said it was a 94 jeep

[@Dashsgarage]

@@richardeddings7259 I believe so just Cherokee not grand Cherokee I believe I mentioned it in the video.

[@JF-sv7qo]

Found another video

[@Dashsgarage]

There are a lot more.

[@robertog4351]

Why replace the shaft with a jeep shaft?

[@Dashsgarage]

Less play in the steering by eliminating the rag joints.

[@TONELOWthaWRITER]

If you bought a brand new shaft for the car wont you have the same effect?

[@Dashsgarage]

Maybe. But this also allows for a little more room for certain headers. Also if trying to keep it budget friendly buying a new one is a little more.

[@TONELOWthaWRITER]

@@Dashsgarage i just found one, jegs sells it for 281 your way is cheaper but the jegs one dont have the rag joint

[@Dashsgarage]

@@TONELOWthaWRITER yea you can find new aftermarket ones without the rag joint for around $99. $281 is pretty high.

[@TONELOWthaWRITER]

@@Dashsgarage ill damn near pay that just because i dont have to rig anything

[@Dashsgarage]

@@TONELOWthaWRITER don't have to with some. Some brands have specific ones for g-bodys direct swaps. Just look around a little. I think Holley even has one.
