I agree Serum. MIP's is a matter of build. I used red loctite on mine with no flat spot on the pin at all. Never had a problem. Another key to this is you NEED to let the loctite cure before driving, otherwise, you are wasting your time. I gave mine AT LEAST 24 hours to cure. Patience is the key.
But I will have to say also, that dogbones are much better, I use the aluminum ones that come with the V1 Slipperential.
"if you've got something to say, say it peacefully"
wow, guess i'd better learn how to build MIPs better.
again - did all of that, and still had problems. i'm not trying to argue - just trying to forewarn anyone looking for new maxx center shafts to buy from Mike instead. you'll be happy you did.
