so i was able to look into the rear seal and see that i had the full 5" of splines. so i went down to the local driveline shop and explained what i was doing. i left my driveshaft there and they let me borrow a yolk to make sure it was the correct one. which it worked out great. then i used it to get a measurement for them to shorten my driveshaft. picked up the finished product the next day. all new u joints, carrier bearing, fresh greased expansion joint, new 80e yoke, and shortend/balanced for just under 500 bucks. i figured nows the time to replace all those 20 year old parts. and it fits like a glove. super happy with their work.

they also had this laying on the desk. TALK ABOUT A U JOINT!!! i thought it was out of some massive truck but aparantly its from a windmill.... who knew?


so i got the trans swap all done to find out i got a junk trans.... im sick of dealing with this trans swap. its just been hard the whole way. so long story short, truck is a the local race shop getting the trans fully rebuilt. should be back to me by wed/thurs. almost there.

but brendan did get the new new injectors programmed as it seems to be running nice and smooth. and also the new efans kick on low speed right when they should and temp sits right at 190. so at this point swap is done. just waiting to get it back from the shop. super excited.
