WOW, NOW THAT IS A LONG DRIVE SHAFT. LOL I SHOULD HOLD OFF ON REPLACING THE DRIVE SHAFT TILL I LIFT THE TRUCK. I WILL PROBRABLY REPLACE THE REAR END AT THE SAME TIME.

Ithought it was a 3 piece. It comes apart in 3 pieces. Man I feel foolish. I thought the 2 piece drive shaft was just that 2 long drive shafts connected.
Sorry bout wasting your time guys.
