2013 v6 driveshaft
I went from a 2011 v6 to 2013 v6.
The first thing I wanted to know was, if the driveshaft are the same.
I checked at ford parts, months ago and it was the same number.
I am now being told that the 2013 v6 driveshaft is different.
I now want to get it on a hoist to see if there is a difference.
Are the driveshaft the same or not?(2011-2013)
Any input is welcome.

I was under my 2013 last week and the driveshaft was not the 2 piece with carrier bearing; it looked more like the 4" aluminum one that I had in my 2006 from Shaftmasters. So when I was by the dealer this past weekend I asked the parts guy to check.
Different part numbers, and the pictures showed a one piece aluminum for 2013 and 2 piece with carrier bearing for the 2011-12. But he did say there was a note about "early build and late build" 2013's. Mine was built in June 2012.

Just went out and looked under mine...it's a 2-piece. Can't get to the p/n right now unfortunately...guess that happens as a "early adopter." Grr!
If someone can post up the p/ns that would be great. I'm planning on replacing mine soon, and might consider the Ford 1 piece.
