Default Vince- Here is the Output Shaft Research We Did this Weekend.

Alrighty. As some of you know, I have a horrendous vibration in my truck. I put in a dummy tranny yoke to see if i could rule out the trans output shaft being bent from when i tossed the driveshaft. Im leaning more towards the rear end of the truck now. We had it up on jackstands and i got some more video of it. Im pretty sure it is within spec but yall let me know.

You try crawling up under a truck on jackstands while the rear wheels are turning, knowing that at any time, the ****** could fall and run your *** over. I was not comfortable in the slightest bit.

Chicken Actually a few years ago my oldest (now almost 9, so he was probably 5 at the time) was helping me bleed the brakes on my truck. He was my pedal man Anyway I climbed in front of the rear drivers side tire, and luckily couldn't reach the bleeder from where I was, so I climbed behind the tire. He wanted to make the blinker blink, so he grabbed the blinker thingy and pulled. Only the one he pulled was on the right side of the steering wheel. Yup. Dropped it in forward (dont remember what gear) and proceeded to run into the fence. Scared the ever living **** out of him and me too, but all was good no one got hurt, and I got him back by busting my *** on his dirt bike. teaching him how to jump. His response........You want me to land like that too Guess there's no denying him

I remember you telling me about the dirtbike incident. I dont know why but a truck on jackstands just is not comfortable for me to get under. Especially when i have it running in gear and depending on the jackstands to keep me out of harms way. I made sure and parked the truck about a foot away from a brick wall so that if it did fall, it would move a whole foot and probably stall out. <<<I had the idle set really low so i could get a reading. If it was under load it would die, indefinately. But it could have done some dammage to my buddy's house. But seriously, who cares when its not your house. J/K

If its anything serious in the rear, I have a couple of 12-bolts. Im sure I could let you have one for a 12-pak or so. Not sure how much of a PITA it would be to get it in, but since I like you I'd let you have one.

What's the spec? Looks like you were +/- .005", is that right?
