Install was quick and easy. I tightened the 2 smaller bolts on the loop first before I bolted it to the cross member. If you do it this way it make it a lot easier to tighten them down.
Quality product as well as an exact fit for the truck with a BDS transfer case index kit. Gives more peace of mind in case of transfer case or driveshaft failure. @Psychotic6.7
Good communication after order was placed and quick delivery. Product and installation instructions were very good, works and looks great. Loop in place you can still lubricate the driveshaft joint well which is important. Great purchase.
I couldn’t be happier with the Five Nine Fabrication BHAF kit for my 1st Gen Cummins. The quality is outstanding—everything is well-built, fits perfectly, and installs without any headaches. The kit gives the engine bay a much cleaner look while providing excellent airflow to the turbo.
All the hardware included was top-notch. It’s obvious that Five Nine Fabrication puts a lot of thought into designing products that actually fit and perform the way they’re supposed to.
If you’re looking to upgrade your intake setup, I highly recommend this BHAF kit. Great product, excellent craftsmanship, and definitely worth the money!
I’ve invested in products to keep my 5th Gen Ram Laramie diesel running strong.
I wanted to get the Five/Nine front drive shaft loop to eliminate the possibility of catastrophic damage due to C. V. Joint failure but was concerned if the product would work due to my clocked transfer case and aftermarket transfer case X member.
I called Five/Nine and was pleasantly surprised that the owner of the Company, Randy, answered the phone.
He couldn’t have been more helpful, answered all my questions and assured me his product would fit.
Received the driveshaft loop very quickly, got it installed and it fit perfectly.
Great product, easy to install, cheap insurance and great peace of mind.
Thanks Randy!!
Made greasing the cardan joint a breeze!
I highly recommend the suggestion of bending it 2” from the tip with brake line benders into a 45° angle as it worked perfect to access the grease fitting, feels well built and of quality. Works well with lock n lube locking piece
Driveshaft loop Install was smooth, fitment was great! Highly recommend for peace of mind.
The Lock N Lube adapter needle fitting made greasing the cardan joint extremely easy! And the suggestion of bending it at a 45° with brake line benders 2” from the needle tip helped access it perfectly.
Received my order in just a couple of days (extremely fast shipping) Very well built and install only took 15min. Looks great and would definitely buy again.
This was probably the easiest Intake install that I have ever done. Fit and finish was flawless. Really, a big pick up in turbo response. Helps the driveability of the truck immensely. The turbines communicative without being intrusive. It’s really nice .
Easy to install, quality hardware, he even included new bolts for the t-case skid plate as those are prone to seizing in place. Hopefully I never have to test it out, but it is cheap insurance.
Very wallet friendly compared to others, easy as could be to install! Now I can relax alittle after seeing all these stories and peoples front driveshafts in these 3gs
The driveshaft loop is robust and fit my 2016 2500 perfectly. The factory crossmember bolts were so long I elected to install the loop in series. I used M16 self locking flange nuts and torqued to 90 ft/lbs. This leaves some additional room to access the grease fitting on the double-cardan, as shown.
Highly recommend this loop and it gives me peace of mind for a fraction of the cost of a tank of fuel today. Don’t think; just do.
Very easy install, the hardest part was getting the first bolt out, my skid plate has seen a few rocks so it was under a slight bit of tension. Other than that, very straight forward install. Very nice piece of hardware that can save thousands in repairs of things go sideways. This is one part you hope you don't have to try out, but glad you had it if you did.
Installation was straightforward and easy to complete. The only discrepancy noted was that the instructions specified a 13mm socket and wrench, while a 15mm was actually required. This was a minor issue and did not impact the overall installation. The product demonstrates excellent craftsmanship, and shipping was prompt. Overall, I am very satisfied with the purchase.

Thank you for your review, Alex. What could we have done differently to make this a 5-star experience for you?
Quality true cold air system for a platform with few options. Retains all stock functionalities (factory jack, tire iron, etc.). The only thing to note is that this will not be nearly as easy to install/remove as a stock system, the intake tube in particular. Otherwise, looks great, sounds great, feels great.
Easy install and dressed up the engine bay while still serving a purpose. 10 out of 10 with recommend these products to anyone to support a small business.
The loop is solid and well fabricated. I must admit, you have to be a man to break loose those two bolts on the frame. I had to break out my impact wrench to get the job done. It’s installed and fits well. Believe I can still reach that zert fitting buried up inside the u-joint without having to remove the safety loop. That’s a bonus! Overall I now have piece of mind that I’ve done all I can do to help protect my truck from a front drive shaft u-joint dismemberment.
I reached out to them to inquire about a custom wrinkle black finish, even though it’s not something they typically offer. The owner wasn’t satisfied with the outcome and offered it to me at regular price. I was thrilled with the result, and it fit exceptionally well, considering my core support was all beat up. It definitely makes the engine bay look a thousand times better.
