if your 80e is same as mine the drive shaft length needs to be 85 1/2" for a one piece. At lest that is what i measured
that is not counting the trans yoke. that is from the end of the trans.

I didn't know that. If that is true that is great. I thought the 80e was longer and I needed a shorter driveshaft. If all I have to do is swap yokes that will save me some money. :DQuote:

A DMax is in my future, but this is what I am building now. This is also a family truck I will prolly never sell it.Quote:

Now this is on rcsb with one piece driveshafts, but even with a 2 piece the length is gonna stay the same.
I bought an extra long 80e yoke and then cut it down to the length I wanted. :rock:
Awesome, that should save me some money :) I forgot to add that the next stage down the road will most likely boost, but that will more than likely be next year.Quote:

I have ARP head bolts, LS6 springs, 3.90 gears, and a few other things sitting on the shelf. More than likely I will buy a newer 04-06 5.3, toss in a baby boost cam like the speed inc TU0, a built trans or stock 80e and call it good until I can save up for boost. I would really love to build this truck to beat up on my brother in laws SRT10 quad cab, but it doesn't look likely. I had some other parts, NNBS intake, 90mm dbc tb, 42lbs injectors, 224/228 cam, etc, but had to sell it all at one point to pay my bills. Things are looking up, but we will see where this summer goes. I work in sales so things can go really well in a hurry or turn out not so hot just as fast. I need to pay off my CC's/student loans/wife's car loan. I am also hoping to pick up a C6 vette next summer for my 25th Bday.Quote:
