My output shaft update
After breaking my output shaft last week in my C6Z06 I got a lesson in them.
I was under the assumption that my RPM built rear had their own shafts in it. Found out RPM used or uses G-Force shafts. I have no problem with that.
There is no guarantee on them.
I am now going with "The Driveshaft Shop" shafts and they are guaranteed for one year. No questions asked.
The car will be back together this week and back at the track no later than next week. I will keep all posted that have e-mailed and PM'd me on this issue.

Z0Sicks The shaft that you broke was also a G-Force shaft. The shaft was installed in the Z06 you now own several months ago for the previous owner. That shaft was purchased from Scoggin Dickey because G-Force was out of stock but SDPC had them on the shelf. I'm not making excuses for the shaft but your launch had to be pretty violent since on the same launch you also broke the bellhousing and damaged the torque tube input shaft. I will also refund the money for the broken shaft if you see that it is returned to me. (I realize that I don't think you are looking for a warranty/refund). The shaft from The Driveshaft Shop that you are replacing the G-Force shaft with is the very same manufacturer that Stage IT just broke a short shaft from.
StageIT the shaft you broke is one that is made by The Driveshaft Shop that is also a 300M shaft. When Mayham ordered shafts from us TJ explained that we are out of shafts but there is another supplier (DSS) We had only used a couple of the shafts and so far everything was fine. East Coast Supercharging had also at that time used a few with no problems. Cartek has used a few sets and everything is fine so far. The good thing about the DSS axles are that they have a 1 year warranty. The only thing I questioned Frank at DSS was that his long shaft looked exactly like a factory C5 shaft. The aftermarket world including myself is use to seeing a heavy large diameter replacement shaft. Frank said his were made from the original prints but only out of 300M. The shafts were drop shipped to Mayham from DSS. I believe that the shaft will be warrantied by DSS but why did it break?
I will warranty (full refund selling price of the shaft) to all above customers or any other customer that has a broken shaft sold by RPM. RPM will no longer sell shafts out the door but only give recommendations as to where they can be purchased. Differential built by RPM will have a 1 year warranty on all shafts installed in our differentials no matter who the manufacturer. This will be covered by us not the manufacturer. Sorry to all who has had a problem

What is interesting to note however is the threads about the driveshaft shop on ls1gto.com apparently there are numberous QC issues related to driveshaft runout on many of the driveshaft shop products for the GTO.

I will call you today with the info. I don't want to start another thread on this issue just in order to have my account locked. I really hope we can resolve this issue in order to continue doing business with you.
