So on the site it doesn't explain the difference between 1310 and 1350's

Any info? Are the joints CTM, are they all greasable? Do they use standard nipple grease fittings or the recessed ones? Not sure if that is the right term for it.. On the recessed grease fittings, do you use a needle adapter to fill them?

Thank you.

The 1310's have the zerk on the cap. It makes lubing enjoyable. The 1350's have the standard setup with the fittings in the crotch. The u-joints aren't CTM, but what he calls Gold Seal. They have a great warranty, it covers the shaft as well as the joint. When I talked to him, he talked me out of the 1350's saying they were way overkill for 35's. Phil, where were you last November when I bought mine?

Thanks for the info... So I am running 37's with possible intentions on 38's and if/ when I destroy my axles I will go with D-60's
So the 1350 might be the better choice?

 

[Dr.Dirty]

wifey will only cut loose with the cash for one should i get the front or rear first

What is your setup, 2 door or 4 door, If you have a 4 door, do the front.

Hey PhilD,
I need a front shaft for my unlimited...With 1350's.
My lift is not in yet, do you need a mezsho, or is there a set length for it?

Ideally needs to be measured, as there can be can quite a bit of difference even with the same lift kit.

Measuring takes just a few seconds, literally.

 

[PhilD]

So the 1350 might be the better choice?

1350 will be stronger no doubt, but a 1310 is plenty strong enough for most applications and having the UJ as the weakest link in the drive line is not necessarily a bad thing.

You will get more flex out of a 1310 before they bind than with a 1350. A 1350 is 37.5% stronger than a 1310.

If you drive hard, spin wheels, etc, then a 1350 may be a better choice, otherwise a 1310 will do the job just fine and swapping in a UJ in the field is much better than swapping gears.

 

[PhilD]

When I talked to him, he talked me out of the 1350's saying they were way overkill for 35's.

I think the 1350 is overkill for most situations. If you are going to break a 1310, odds are that you'll just break something else by running a 1350.

Phil, where were you last November when I bought mine?

Sleeping, obviously

 

[WTF_LOL]

Wow, didn't expect this on my porch already. what did I order on...the 2nd or 3rd and they are here on the 6th? NICE! Thanks once again Phil!!!

 

[PhilD]

Yours looks prettier than mine

 

[WTF_LOL]

Do you have a pic of whatthey look like otherwise? or did I miss the joke? lol

 

[WTF_LOL]

oh and quick question. You know how at the pinion you need to measure what the nut was set at before removing it so you can set it the same, do you have to do anything special with the TC end? I see the Torques on the TC nut is 90-130 ft. lbs. Just wondering why it is such a wide range.

Thanks

 

[PhilD]

Plain black. I like the look of yours better.

 

[PhilD]

Not that I know of. I wondered about the wide range too, the rear is the same but higher torque.

 

[PhilD]

BTW pinion nuts are supposed to be a one time use, so use some thread locker if you reuse it.
