ok, after a HALF OF A DAY wasted today, i found out that our GMT900s have 1350 yokes stock. well the gmt800s have 3R and the only way to get it to work on our trucks is to run a conversion yoke, or cut the end off the driveshaft, or change the yoke on your rear end to the gmt800 yoke and run a #r spicer u-joint.

But on all other half ton models with 10b rearends the regular gmt800 two piece shaft should work fine.

i have a 1500 2wd. my 6.2 wasnt stock, i swappe it in. i have a 10bolt rear end. the driveshaft that i picked up is from a 2wd ecsb 1500 its u-joints arent the same as mine. i have the HD trailoring package on my truck. i have 1350s stock, the 2 peice i have and im modifying is a 3R.
im not going buy another driveshaft, i can run the 3R/1350 conversion yoke without a problem. if it breaks ill get a custom driveshaft made and run 1350 spricer joints.

iamkeniff, I dont want to jack your thread but I recently purchased a 2010 5.3 RCSB 6l80 and I noticed I have a steel 1 piece drive shaft. My question is does anyone know how much more reliable these are than the aluminium ones that keep getting turned into pretzels?
