Oh it's cool Red, no apology necessary. You do have a good point about the trans rebuilds but believe it or not, I just cruise around and I stay on low boost most of the time. Therefore my transmission is holding up just fine. If I take it to the track, however, that would be a different story. If I happen to break that output shaft, I figure I'd just put an upgraded output shaft in it which would be the cheapest fix and the next best thing to an 80E. Hopefully an upgraded output shaft will handle the power im making on hi boost. Right now my truck is basically a school bus and grocery getter.

The drive shaft is a 2 piece and since my truck is lowered, the carrier bearing bracket has been moved up to keep alignment in the driveshaft. This is kinda funny how you've chimed in on my transmission issues once again. Thanks tho
