I just got a .083 D.O.M. MOLY driveshaft that will need cut and shortened.
I have heard that it is OK to MIG MOLY........
I have also been told to TIG ONLY!!!!
Who has done this?
Whats the pro`s and con`s?????????

On a high stress part, why take the chance? If it were me, I'd have it TIG welded.

The ends are already MIG`d on, so how do you tell if it really IS MOLY?

To look at it you couldnt tell the difference.... thats
one thing that you have to take the manufacturer word on
material wise but you can tell DOM... it wont have a seam

Who built the shaft?



I have no idea,bought it with a trans. out of Wisconsin.
I did clean off the paint ,NO seam. So it is D.O.M.
