I have an aluminum driveshaft out of a 98 4 banger, and need to know if it will hold up to the 3.0 v6. both trucks were automatic trans.

I have 310K on my stock '04 supercab with 3.0/manual. Driven hard, it survived the rear axle locking up from the spider gears shattering at 65mph.....

I'm not aware of any driveshaft differences based solely on engine size (even with the 4.0L V6).
The differences revolve around body style (Supercab, longbed, shortbed, etc), transmission & drive type, and if it's a Regular Cab, whether '97 & older, or '98 & newer.

Round.
My credo
I poop in the furnace.
The 3.0 has about 3 more hp than the 4 cylinder. I think you're gonna be ok...
