4l80e yolk stuck in tail housing?
I was in the process of my 80e swap. When it came time for me to put the drive shaft on I noticed it was very tight. I pulled the drive shaft out again and took it to my builder. While at his shop the yolk slid on another 80e like butter. He said its common for it to be tight and to just hammer it on. Well I hammered it in and now it's so tight I can't get the truck to roll. I'm guessing the load acts like I'm holding the brakes down and the verter is stalling. I'm at a loss what should I do now?

Some times you just need to lay the hammer down lol. I would never hammer on a slip yoke, it's supposed to slide back and forth on the splines.
One of the things no one ever seems to mention on the 80e swap is the determination of the output shaft.
The 4l80e has FIVE different types of output shaft and the yoke needs to be matched to the type of output shaft.

Yeah, I would hammer it off and replace the bearing. Usually they get too loose rather than too tight but it could be the case. GM sells the bearing and tailhousing all as one unit. I do also vaguely remember that the older 80s and newer ones use a different output bearing. Maybe the switch was around 2000-2001.
