THANK YOU. I was about to give up, I was having a hard time following the guides. I bought 2 shafts, because I thought I bought the wrong one the first time. This was exactly what I needed to see.
Awesome! I just replaced mine from what I remember was a 96' cheerokee. I cut about an inch off the solid steering shaft(lower end) and had to grind a notch in the lower column for the pinch bolt to pass through. I heated mine as well with a heat gun. I removed my steering column to grind and all in all everything took about an hour and 10 minutes. I've watched about all of yalls videos almost a dozen times and went over it 100 times while going to sleep. Awesome work and thank you for posting! If your reading this, my shaft looked just like his and everything was clocked perfectly. I cut about an inch off the lower shaft(the solid one).
Thanks for the feedback I appreciate it! I’m still using the Jeep steering shaft with zero complaints! We did do some grinding on the solid shaft to reduce the diameter slightly when I went Turbo LS to clear the factory LS3 crate engine manifold w/heat shield. JD
cedric deoan I haven’t looked into the fitment of the 2000 S10 parts on my 1985. Seems interesting to have a hub assembly instead of the old school bearing in the rotor. I have “Not installed yet” 2” lowering spindles and tubular upper a-arms. I just haven’t gotten the motivation to install yet.
HeadFlowInc Once your ready to bolt on to your s10 after heating out the plastic, should I tack weld it? And will it work on a 2000 chevy s10 zr2? Thanks in advance.
brannon nichols I’ve been doing pretty good, thanks for asking. I needed to change the u-joints on this steering shaft but never did due to the high cost. The upper joint rubbed on the exhaust manifold. 😳. Now that I’m lowering the engine 5/8-11/16” and moving it back a little I hope to gain some clearance to the shaft. 🤞 I’m about 75% done with the fresh/new Turbo 4.8 build, waiting on the heads to get surfaced. I still have to freshen the TH400 that’s replacing the T-5 I took out. As usual a simple upgrade “balloons” into a major project! 😳😉👍
