Carrier bearing question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I havent posted in awhile, been doing some crown moulding
and painting for the wife.Then I am getting back to my truck!!!

Question:
Since owning my truck, I have replaced the carrier bearing twice in less than a year. Why is our driveline in two pieces and not a one piece shaft?? I think it is bad again but I am not sure yet. When I step on it, or when I let off the gas pedal quickly, I hear and feel a clunk under my feet?

I climbed under and grabbed it and gave it a yank, but I didnt notice anything really loose?

Can we buy a one peice shaft for our trucks so I can quit having to drop my driveline every other month??

Thanks, Dan
