DrBob veteran Registered: October 29th 2009 1:21 pm Posts: 2320 Loc: Stephentown NY	Question on install when I put the rear end from the 96 into the 90 I had to change yokes on the Rear End because the driveshaft out of the 96 was to short. Everybody said it was because the transmission in the 96 had a longer tail-shaft. I put the transmission in the 90 and used the 90 drive shaft.The 96 was still to short. Book says wheel base is the same. _________________________ I don't mind Coming to work, but that 8hr wait to go home is a bitch. No matter how little I do, I always feel I could do less.

Everybody said it was because the transmission in the 96 had a longer tail-shaft. I put the transmission in the 90 and used the 90 drive shaft.The 96 was still to short. Book says wheel base is the same. There would absolutely be a difference in driveshaft length depending of wheelbase. 127" vs. 109" That's an 18" difference. How the heck can that book say there isn't a difference? The OD transmission did have a longer tailshaft, but I think the non-OD transmissions (even the newer ones like your 96) have the same length tailshaft as the older models. The necessity for for a yoke change was probably because of a differnce in the size of u-joints, not driveshaft length. _________________________ Nate Breece (Nate the skate) 2% North Chesapeake Bay Vans A-100 Van Association Honorary Canadian(You Hoser!) -------------- 1994 Dodge B250 Elk Conversion (5.2L/A518) 1985 Dodge B150 "Burnin' Desire" (5.2L/A727)
