I have been chasing down a vibration in my driveline that occurs at 65mph + under no load, or whenever I let off the gas. The rest of my double cardon drive shaft has no play except for the slip yoke as seen in this vid:

Is this excessive?

Might be, usually vibes while coasting are due to something being loose. Some quick tests listed below:

You know i've got the same thing going on but I fear mine is getting close enough to shear the splines. Make sure you load up that slip yoke with grease though as yours is super dry.

Thanks for the responses. This particular slip yoke came with the 5.29'd gear I bought locally off of a 4cyl. My original slip yoke from my stock V6 would not bolt up so I am using the one 4cyl version. I figured the experts on this forum would have a pretty good idea if that is excess play or if that is fairly common.

I actually did remove the yoke and greased it up (alot) despite its appearance in the vid. At the same time I lined the u-joints up to ensure the joints were in phase as best I could. The vibration wasn't as bad after this so I am pretty sure its the yoke. Prior to this, I did as 4crawler suggested, removed d/s, tightened the pinion nuts and restaked, checked each u joint and the carrier bearing. So I have narrowed it down to either too much pinion shim (6 degrees) or the slip yoke. Or a combination of the two.

I can get my original slip yoke back on by either using the flange from my stock differential or a triple drilled flange option. It will be a few days before I have access to my junk pile though.

splines are "worn" together .. you cant mix and match with out vibration
put your original back on and just re drill it
