Not really relevant, but I just had a "DUUH" moment and want to correct it myself before anyone catches it. In my last post I said that I measured the driveshafts from bearing to bearing when I had my diveshafts made for my 4X4. After thinking about it it occurred to me that all of the driveshafts bolted directly to a yoke, so bearing to bearing would be the only way to measure those. The slip joint was in the driveshaft, not at the front like a two wheel drive vehicle.
My excuse is, I'm 71, got a bad case of CRS, and I had those done ten years ago, LOL.
