Re: U-joints, VP SX

depends on if its an SX style upper or the older 290(swedish) style.
all SX,DPS and XDP were built in Kentucky most the rest,DP-E,DP-C,DP-G and a few others are built in sweden.
just makes life that much more fun :).

a DPS is the SX style upper built in kentucky. a DP-E or a DP-G is a swedish style made in sweden. both have twin props.
niether share almost anything with the other .
maybe paint and sometimes a decal or two.

Yes, rodbolt, he does have an SX style (now DP-S with a lower unit change)
He stole it (lower unit) off ebay ........ it was a like new unit. A takeoff.

Re: U-joints, VP SX

some folks get all the luck.
as long as it uses inside keepers the joint is avalible.if it has outside keepers you buy a shaft assy from vp.
I just priced a DP-G drive,8400 new and 6700 reman from VP.
customer brought one in making noise and the only salvagble parts are the intermediate shaft and the lower case. everything else is scrap metal.
