Driveshaft Couplers!
I just went and got a price for GM driveshaft couplers, holy ****! I definitely need to replace mine, as my pilot bushing was almost completely gone after only 2 years.
I am going to have to go with cheap Dorman ones until I can can budget DSS ones- which are surprisingly cheaper than OEM. The Dorman crap should only be in the car for at most a year so it should get me by until then....FML....

Dorman does make good products and should serve you well until you put in what you ultimately want. They are polyurethane.
Here is a link to Summit Racing which sells them. I don't think they would sell them if they were "crap".

The DSS couplers were incredibly low quality when I had my t-tube rebuilt. Not sure if it was just a batch issue. But they had to be shaved down because of their warped oblong shape. Took hours and cost me a lot more than it should have. Just FWI.

i used dorman from auto zone, think they were like 30 a piece, they are stock replacement now. if you want to upgrade to something else, I am sure someone will recommend a set to you.
Make sure you order the right size, mine are the 10mm as its a 2000, think the 2002 went to 12mm but dont remember the year it switched

I am going to upgrade them when I do the rest of the drive train. I am shooting to 4L65 swap it next year so I will knock it out then. I would put good ones in now but I am already about $4000 over budget lol.
