 Well back to square one the drive shaft i found on ebay was a 2 piece and not a one piece.I`m starting to think i won`t find a one piece that lenght .Does anyone know of any vehicles that has a one piece driveshaft this long or longer?

Aww that ole dog on ebay lied to me and said he didn`t have one and that the one he had was a 2 piece .I seen it had shipped and asked him about it and he said that was nothing that it was just automated.Just come from having my gal bladder removed and came home went to sleep and when i woke dad said a driveshaft came in .I thought oh heck gonna have to ship it back and lose all the shipping money .But i was shocked when i slide the one piece aluminum drivehsfat out just the size i needed.
 Now the only thing i worried about is this.It`s using a 1350 u joint size and mine has a 1310 so no problem i will just get a conversion u joint.But i have to change the end yokes and i don`t know if that will make the driveshaft go out of balance.What do you guys think will changing my slip yoke out cuase it to go out of balance.

Ok i think i have another problem here.I took my rear yoke off and when i removed the pinion nut i didn`t mark it and now i have no ideal how to put it back at the right torque.Any ideals on this guys?

You are going to have a time putting that back on unless you have a way to secure the yoke from moving.  Why did you take it off?

[jkk101]

Well i had no ideal that i would get into that kind of trouble when i took it off.I read somewhere to tighten it untill i have no play in it then tighten 1/8 a turn .Any ideal what a 700r4 transmission that won`t shift out of second might be worth?I know some of them are 1500$ rebuilt.

it won't be worth anything if it doesn't work.
