driveline - 88 4x4 extra cab seems too long
thanks to DeathCougar, there is a new clutch working in my 4x. (4 hours including test drive- )
however, upon reattatchment we found the driveline to be very tight (fully compressed)
or it looked fully compressed, and it did go back in, but it needed a prybar to get it over the rear diff.
?.....so, main question is (and time will tell too) will that damage the tranny/or anything else?
?....is anyone elses driveline (tranny to the rear end) really tight on re-install ?
btw.
88 v6, 3.0 4x4, extracab. (seems very original)

Yeah, that happens sometimes. The slip spline got pulled out a little when you removed it, or while you were storing it. They can be hard to compress back down, and/or hard to extend for that matter. There's a partial vacuum you have to overcome inside the slip spline. It takes some pressure to squeeze the grease around, or push air in or out of the things usually.
I wouldn't worry about it.

the spline wasn't pulled out at all. It was up and tight, we had already overcome the vacuum, and there was only about 1/2" from collar to collar. the Splines bottom out at that 1/2" so you dont do damage to the yokes on full stuff.
Anyone have an 88 V6 truck they know is 100% original who can measure their driveline??!

I guess an ex.cab with the same engine/tranny/t-case combo would have the same size driveshaft. They are the same wheelbase, 112" LWB. In fact, the one I have on there now could very well be off an ex.cab for all I know. I didn't ask, just measured to be sure it was the right length.

upon further work (done today), i looked at the driveline again, and it now has opened up again.
so, we did fully compress it, but it somehow uncompressed about 1-1.5 inches.
and i feel alot better.
thanks for all the help, and the measurements, i will measure them this week.
(got the interior out (firewall-bed is now bare metal)- rework in progress.
