also so I know what is what anyone know what kind of prices I'd be looking at. Any ballpark figure just so I know what is what when talking to people.

I'm not looking for the cheapest job just would like to be informed!

Shot down...They said they can not weld alumn. stock driveshafts from ford! Said it was like putting two magnets together.

Now My question is why not? The driveshaft is clearly welded. Are there different types of machines?

Calling next lead...........

they are in the pittsburgh area, the can make aluminum shafts so they should be able to shorten them if its possible

I had them shorten and rebalance a steel shaft - $110

---

How long ago did you have this done? What was the turn around time? Did you stay there and wait or did you need to come back? Were you happy with the work done?

Read my reply ^

I saw that and couldn't ask someone to do that for me. That is a mother f'n drive. One that I'm just not able to make with nagging wife, work, kids, nagging wife.

I am going to take it to the San leandro place tomorrow and have them 'look' at it as they said. If it isn't contaminated they said they'd do it. If they can't do it I'll see if maybe we can work something out maybe I can give you some $ to deliver it or pick it up.

Anyone heard of Daves Engine Machineing?

as long as there's no oil or dirt on the aluminum, it should be ok. Not much people wanna work on aluminum because its so risky.
