I have a 2000 4wd silverado 1500. I am in the process of converting to a 4l80E and wanted to know if my driveshaft length is ok. If I unbolt it, there is about 3/4" of play before it hits the t-case. I hope it's not too long. Thanks.

definetly too long, there needs to be a certain amount of slip travel and that aint got it.

there should be 1 inch of slip. those slips are fairly long so 1 1/4 inch will be no problem. you can take it to your local driveline shop with the mearsurement, and they should beable to take care of you. measure seal of tranny not that rubber boot to the center of the rear u-joint(which will be the flats of the pinion yoke).

****, well is it ok for about 3 days or would it be very stupid to run it as is. It has about 1/2 inch of play in it.

I would not run it like that. You will be looking for a new transmission tail shaft if you do.

yea, I'd say 1-1.5" shorter. I've seen some bad damage due to a driveshaft like that.
