Hey all,
I did a 4l80 swap on my truck some time ago and when I shortened my driveshaft, I think perhaps the shop made a mistake when they did it.
The problem I'm having is I'm installing a 4 lift that's, according to the manufacturer of the lift, not supposed to affect the slip yoke engagement enough to warrant a length increase.
After lifting the rear, the amount of shaft showing seems to be too much. Also, where there was none, now there's a bit of movement in the yoke when I push up on it. Before it was pretty solid, but now "clicks" up and down ever so slightly, if you know what I mean.
How much of the slip yoke should be showing, anyway?
Also, is there a way to verify my driveshaft length against the distance between my transfer case and pinion yoke? What should it be?
The measurement from the transfer case flange, where the seal sits to the pinion yoke "U" is 67 7/8. The driveshaft, center of u-joint to center of u-joint is 63 1/16.
Thanks for any help!
