I'm on my second attempt at installing a one-piece driveshaft. My last experience kinda sucked but I blame it on having bought a used one. I ended up chasing a vibration that wouldn't go away no matter what I did, so I went back to the stocker for a while.
However, the new Gulf Coast driveshaft that doesn't use adapter plates was worth giving it another shot. Although for that kind of money you'd think they could include the correct bolts.
I've already gotten the pinion angle difference to less than half a degree and ran a laser level to make sure the diff and trans centerlines are inline with each other.
The problem I'm facing is that the Hendrix offset differential bushings have the driveshaft so high in the tunnel it looks like it's going to rub and I haven't even tried to get the fuel tank shield back in yet either.
I had to use a little persuasion to get some more clearance to the parking brake cable bracket but I'm not seeing a good solution to gain clearance where the cable and NPP vacuum line bend around the fuel tank on the driver's side.
Have any of you had this issue and what was your solution?
