Differences in HD Output Shafts?
Why are some companies more $ than others, are they better quality or same product. I was looking at 21st Century Muscle Cars and they were subtantually less money than other places on both the right and left side.

I checked both the 21st century and the DTE websites. Prices are actually fairly close. The right side out put shaft is two pieces and are sold separatly on 21st and as one price on DTE. I don't know anything about the 21st product, but from experience, the DTE products are second to none. Top quality and service from DTE.

I believe 21MC sells the LPE hardened output shaft, someone correct me if I am wrong. Never heard anyone complain about either, though you can still break either with enough power and traction. I have seen the DTE driver side shaft (long one) up close, it's definately beefy. Got one in my garage with a candy cane twist in the splines
