#10303 01/10/2003 12:03 AM | Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 622 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 622 | I have a 62 3/4 ton, long wheel base PU with a one piece drive shaft. I was told that these trucks came with a two piece dive shaft.
I had a really bad vibration and just learned that the bushing at the back of the 3sp trans was bad. I suspect that the one piece drive shaft (had it balanced a while back) created the problem but I don't know for sure.
Does anybody know for sure if this truck came with a two piece shaft?
Should I replace it with a two piece drive shaft?

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

I don't remember such a cross-member but I will check later today and let you know. I assume that if it exists this would be the juncture/evidence of a split drive shaft, right?

The vibration was the output shaft bushing. I wonder if the long one piece drive shaft is putting to much strain on it.
Thanks for the input.
