2013 King of the Hammers
Fab-10 ultra4 car was ready to race in the
last edition of King of the Hammers 2013.
Unfortunately the day before the starting
position qualifying, we had some unexpected issue with the driveshaft.
We didn’t t have spare. A fast call to Jeff @
Inland Empire Drive Line Service in Ontario, CA., some measurements and.....
Laura left the desert to Ontario. By the time she
got there, about 2 hours, the driveshaft was ready to be picked up.
The day after we raced to qualify. Then the big
day came. We finished in 22nd position of 27 finishers on 129 cars started.
It was the most brutal KOH ever, they said.
We still are the strongest European team.
Thanks Jeff and his crew @ Inland Empire Drive
Line Service for their fast support and hardcore components.

Just a note to thank you for your excellent service during my recent visit to shorten my aluminum driveshaft.. In by 9, out by noon.
The staff gave me credible guidance, your measuring guide aided with the perfect fit which saved me some money, to boot. I am a satisfied customer which demonstrates that the excellent service is the same no matter what you drive.
Thanks!!

Demanding Applications
May 9. 2011
I have perhaps one of the most demanding applications a driveline must endure – the instantaneous torque of an electric motor loaded in direct drive fashion (no flywheel or tranny needed) in a rear drive, street legal electric drag car. Known as the White Zombie, my electrified ’72 Datsun1200 sedan dispatches 0-60 in just 1.8 seconds and runs 10.258 in the ¼ mile. It’s series wound DC motor generates 772 ft. lbs of torque at 0 rpm!
Before acquiring the light weight, but heavy duty aluminum driveshaft built by Inland Empire Driveline, we went through numerous drivelines that simply couldn’t hold up to this torture. The Inland Empire driveshaft however, has taken this amount of instant twist for several years now without any problems. It slides onto the splined output shaft of the electric motor and terminates at the input flange of a Strange aluminum Ford 9 inch fitted with 3:70 gears, a Detroit Locker and Dutchmen Motorsports 31 spline axles turning sticky drag radials.
Thanks to the good folks at Inland Empire for building a bulletproof driveline that my electric car can’t destroy!

Hey guys,
Just wanted to take some time and say what a great product. And even better customer service. I was wondering if there was anyway I could receive some stickers or something to show my pride in the brand. If so that would be awesome.

Vibration is gone!
Greg,
As you know I had a distinct vibration in my street rod at 71-73 mph which we found to be in the old driveshaft. While the car was in the shop over the winter, getting some much needed rust removed and frenched tailights, along with a new motor, we installed an Inland Empire Driveshaft. I just got back from an 1100 mile trip in the car and must tell you how smooth and vibration free the car was. I don't know how you do it since you didn't measure for the drive shaft, we did.
Thanks for a great product delivered when you said it would be. I would recommend your products to anyone who wants a vibration free smooth running vehicle.

New Bearings
October 11, 2009
Greg or Robert,
Greg I met you at the OKC show and we talked about the bearing going out on me. I was going to send this a long time ago and I have been going 90 mph all year. Sorry I took so long. You guys are tops with me and the new bearing is a real plus. I put it in the 60 here and she has been everywhere. All is well now. Thanks a bunch…..

D/BSTR Class Record
August 23, 2009
To Lee Watson and Greg Frick,
As you both know, I destroyed my driveline out in Bonneville last year. We had a bad year then, breaking everything on the car but the record. We came back this year with a lot more success. The 1946 car got into impound three times, broke the record two times and I got inducted in the coveted 200 MPH Club. We managed to set the record in the D/BSTR class at 216.979 thanks to that great Inland Empire Driveline. You and your people are a great service and product organization. Thanks again,

"You're a credit to the indusrty; it is a pleasure to deal with someone still dedicated to serving its customers. I retired four years ago from UPS. I spent 34 years with them, and I always likes to think they are customer orientated, too. Without your 'Old School' dedication, I could not have enven gotten back out there (your products is awsome, too...LOL) I hope to see you next year, and I will recommend you to all my friends and customers from now and forever."

The shaft you had sent out arrived last week. It was able to be installed perfectly last weekend. Running is perfect, and it doesn't have the vibration at all either. Thank you.

Hey Robert -- I got the shaft and it is awesome! Fits like a glove and it's beautiful. Well packaged, etc. My hat's off to you guys! I stopped by the Inland booth at the Street Rod Nationals and told the lady how helpful you were. Your work is high quality. The polished aluminum shaft I received is more finely finished than I expected, and the clear powder-coating should keep it looking great a long time. I'm very pleased.
Thank you!

Customer Service
June 4, 2009
Robert, it was nice finally talking to you. Thanks for your patience on this, so we settled on a Yoke first, then we do the drive shaft.
For what its worth once I decided I HAD to buy a yoke (mine is trashed), I realized I could have found the yoke somewhere and saved maybe 20 bucks. Why didn't I do that, saving money is good?
The service and response you have provided is far beyond what I expected and what I usually get from other companies. Call it customer loyalty, but that's what keeps me with a brand or company. Saving money is good, but when I get support and speedy responses/ advice from you, like I have, its well worth the 20 bucks knowing my purchase is (a) matched to your drive shaft, (b) backed by the support.
Thank you.

Night and Day
May 21, 2009
I just installed the new drive shaft I ordered and the difference is night and day. It was installed in a car I have owned for over 10 years so I know how fast I am going by the feel of the car and now that will no longer work it as it drives so smooth, I was going over 80 mph without knowing it before I looked at the speedometer. The car has always had a little vibration but I always assumed it was the nature of a 40+ year old car but that is not the case. I now wish I broke the u-joint sooner so I could have installed your drive shaft sooner. Thank you for making such an amazing product, you can be assured I will use you again in future and recommend you to everyone.

Instructions on Measuring
I just wanted you to know that when I placed this order, I very carefully measured according to your instructions, and provided all other information as requested. As a result, when the driveshaft arrived today, I tried to install it. It fits perfectly. Nice job, well done. Thanks.
