The ATS Billet intermediate shaft is part of the back bone of your Ford
Powerstrokes transmission. It is the first hard part to bring power
into the transmission and transmit that power to the wheels. With no
dampening or power loss other than the torque converter, the shafts in
your transmission have a lot to handle. Now add power, weight from a
trailer, bigger tires (and is some cases all these things together) and
you will be well beyond what that factory shaft was designed for.
The
theory behind billet shafts is not quite what you may have in mind.
The key to success is not to make the shaft "stronger" necessarily, but
give it the ability to absorb more torsional load. The way we do this,
is by using billet shafts, they have the ability to rotate further with
out breaking. This is going to give the transmission more "give" and
allow it to transmit more torque and more load with out breaking.
Along those lines, breaking a shaft can lead to costly repairs
