Joints too wide... by hundredths of an inch! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone else had a problem with a brand of joints being too wide (cap to cap, not cap diameter) by literally hundredths of an inch? Don't remember the brand, but what ever advanced autoparts sells. Both joints didn't fit, and this is for the joint at the transmission... But the part number says for all 3 so it's not like anything is being mixed up.

What's the larger chance, the drive shaft being tweaked... Or having the wrong u-joint (by the slimmest of margins)?

Parts hunting has gotten ridiculous on this truck.
