CV axle shaft replacements , which is best

[oldchev]

Hey gang,
I have searched the internet for CV halfshafts for my 2004 GMC Yukon Denali (AWD).

Lots of numbers and references but no reliability statements. Two numbers appear for the OE shafts ... GM26969244 and GM26069252, one obviously is the updated version of the other as is usually the case.
Has anyone bought and put some serious miles on their purchase? what did you buy and about how much, etc. Some places are real cheap so am very suspicious about those. I am going Timken for the hubs but have found nothing under Moog or Timken for the CV shafts.
One item on (Amazon) has a pair for $148 listed as ISO/TS 16949 quality - tested to meet or exceed OEM specifications. The Delco OEM prices are way up there at about $350 each.

No real problem yet but at 207K I am getting leary of pushing my luck.

Just looking for some shopping help here, thanks.

my originals in my nbs went 300k+ perfectly fine and are still on the road I see it running around town once in a while and I beat on that truck pretty hard. lol, one of the few things that didn't break the driveshaft and the cv axles.
