Driveshaft Out-Of-Phase?

[gavin]

91-96 did I don't know about 97.5 but I could be wrong. 96 also had a double cardan on one and but 96.5 ish had a flange on the CV side. I had that issue with a member on here actually.

Somthing tells me if your going through that many your buying them used or a crappy reman? Or is your truck lifted?

well maybe it didn't go to 97.5, I don't know. I just know the 2nd Gens did have 'em, so I know it's not the double-cardan itself causing the problems.

and I got low-mile shafts from the junkyard; inspected them; filled them with grease.
after a couple, I realized I should have went with a remanu'ed one, but it was too late for that. Then the next couple I got for cheap to free.

I just don't want to fight with the POS CV's anymore.
I want one that's actually serviceable.

Which is why I'm fighting with the one I had made.
Nothing will change my mind into buying another POS GKN cv-style shaft.

well I bought an OEM double-cardan off a 96 off of chriswells

hopefully I'll get it before the weekend so that I can rebuild the double-cardan joint, and swap CV heads.

will let me know for sure if I wasted over $400 on the shaft or if the issue is somewhere else.

oh... and it appears the double-cardan shaft was used until 7/96'ish
