3 YEAR REVIEW VIDEO: • TRAKMOTIVE HD Extended...
I Broke my CV axle off roading last trip so I had to buy a new one. I thought I would go with a more expensive heavy duty option. I went with the TrakMotive Extended Travel HD one and I'm curious to see how it holds up over time. The install should be simple but in my case It wasn't (due to rust) LOL
I also replaced the intermediate shaft

Just installed on a 2009 lifted silverado..both sides. Passenger side eas easy.. drivers was a much tighter fit between the differential and the hub and also decided to remove the sway bar link and one strut bolt to be able to get in there.

I got some very identical to those for my 2013 ram 1500 from NAPA it was in the 200’s price range. They had it same day pick up… their website has two options for the cv axle, i picked “lifted” option to get these same ones.

Ive been looking into those napa CV axles too. How would you say your experience is with those?

@israelgarcia3455 Жыл бұрын

@@jmdelgado1994 i was running 35’s with these but when i upgraded to 37’s they both went out on me after 3 months being on 37’s. I took them back to napa because they have a limited lifetime warranty, but after still running on 37’s they went out again after 4 months. And thats just on highway roads. Im thinking on buying RCV axles. But they are about 2.8k for a pair

Just did passanger side with this tracmotiv also. Replaced the intermediate shaft also. Sorta a PITA!! Hope it holds up. Only had 88k on my oem.. Thanks for the great ideas for the Ram as things start to wear or break!!

Are the nuts self locking? Just installed one, and the nut won't hand spin down the shaft.. I'm just asking cause I don't want to torque it down if it's cross threaded ..

The nut should start by hand spinning a few threads then its self locking

I hope they are working out great, Im planning on getting a pair for the rams lil brother, a 4.7 dakota, Rockauto is listing mine at 180 a piece under its "heavy duty" category beating out the likes of GSP cv axels in terms of price range. I am a lil weary of buying auto products out of China which is where they produce the trackmotive cv and is distributed at a california location, Supposedly tho Wonh Industries are bosses at making cvs since 2005 so I hope they hold up. Great video an once again I hope theyre working out for you.

I think some of the problem people are having with these is just that, along with installing regular length shafts when they should have installed the ones for lifted vehicles....stuff like that. I daily drive my old F150, and the worst 'off road" I get is driving across corn fields that have been chisel plowed.....more of a hazard to ball joints, haha. @@Carfleet
