Broke drive shaft...new one too short?

[RENODMAX]

I dont f and tell ask your sister though. Seriously though my buddy had a driveshaft too long for his car and it slammed into the trans so hard it ended up breaking some snaprings and stuff inside. Not a duramax but the same probably applies here.

My sister just had a kid. So it's yours? Happy late fathers day!

I think the rule of thumb for a driveshaft is to shove it all the way in and it should not come out more than 5/8" to 3/4 " before it seats in the yoke.

So all penis jokes aside is the driveline too short mike?

Is that a yes? What's it like compared to the old

Remember you need to check it at compression, not extension. Check it with the truck on the ground.

that picture was taken with the truck on a level surface. extension is what makes me nervous lol

hmm I could use more extension:happy2: But if the shaft came out of a truck that is of the same configuration as yours run it. with a lifted truck, the yoke is not going to go in as far because your rear axle is farther away now due to the lift.
