Rusty drive shaft
Last year I purchased a 2006 Ford 150 which came from Michigan. I noticed that the main drive shaft has rust on it and since I just purchased a new travel trailer which will weigh 7000lbs loaded to be towed by this truck, Iam concerned about the rust. Is my worry valid? Do I need to replace it?
I can remove it, sand blast it and paint it.
Any one from the north had a problem with rusty drive shafts?

i just replaced mine, even had it powder coated, but not cause of the rust, its probably just surface rust, and since that drive shaft is probably 3rd generation recycled metal it rust pretty well, i would take it off sand blast it and re paint it if its really bad then replace it but i dont think there is much to worry about

Why put it in drive and waste gas and have a moving vehicle above your head, you have to sand it yourself no matter what

If I had to do it now...since I have friends who have lifts, I would just take it to them and frame lift the truck up and not look for the fast route and do it all by man torque.
