[quote="Lake_v2"]any pics of broke shaft?

would a 92-97 sterling 10.25" shaft work

can the axle places make a customer shaft without an o-ring and just seal with silicone?

Curious, because well... you got me worried lol... but i did pull my shafts when doing brakes, and no signs of twists on splines or any stress marks.[/quote]

Okay.... my take on this entire situation is that no aftermarket support is there because there is no need.

Think about how many SDs were made with that shaft.... mid 99 - mid 10. Then you have some of the vans, etc with this axle shaft as well. I talked with Moser, Branik, Dutchman, and one other and they all say they do not have the tooling to make them with the flange o-ring seal and Moser furthermore went on to say they've never had a request to make one.

As for shafts that will work... this is some tricky business. Doing my research leads into a lot of holes.... I believe and 10.5 axle from mid 99 thru 2007 should work fine. Up to 2010 looks to be good as well, but not 100%. Before 99.... there might be some that will work, but you're going to have to be careful. Sline count and width are going to matter. Not sure how the flange holes carry back either?

My biggest issue is the junk yards here will not let me pull shafts and they want fucking arms and legs for the entire thing. In Bako, I think they have no stupid restrictions like that.

Cool.... any other idiotic suggestions?

No, mine are FF. I think the bolt spread on the flange is ~.15 different on the 60 shafts. Then you have the issue of the o-ring seal... these are slightly different at the flange than a gasket type is.

So get this..... Randy's isn't the only fuckhead here.

"Yukon is the manufacturing arm of Randy's" came right out of the mouth of one of their sales people. So.... Randy's bought Yukon and that's why we always see the same "diff wizard" shit on all the sites. Now.... he did confirm they use used shafts out of "surplus" axles. Furthermore, they are presented on the website as 1541h and when I asked, he stated that the website was incorrect. So they lie, know about it, and continue.

My suggestion after this is to not buy from Randy's nor Yukon products.

My post was copy and paste from Jeff's bronco graveyard that's who I ordered my axles from ..
Cross my fingers I haven't had no problems with the Yukon's

I know that they're different that's copy and paste from their Sterling axle page

Thats a clean break.

New info.... The dealer I ordered from fell out.... can't get a hold of them?

Anyways... as I started searching some more, I found more part numbers for supposedly the same thing. Very odd.

So... what I ended up doing was pull a shaft from the Super Duty and checked it... same length, same spline count, same diameter at the splines and what not.... looks like it will work.

So... at least on a 2005 axle, the 2012 shafts will work. My guess is that all the full float shafts that were made in 35 splines, will fit. There isn't a way for me to verify until I've pulled more shafts from more Sterlings.

That's a great axle and with the amount of SDs around.... these will be a choice decision for many years to come. Keep staying stuck on that 14b.
