Yes, it is supposed to be like that. Don't ask me why its like that cause I have no idea, but like I said before, I've never seen a slip yoke that didn't skip a spline.

I have no idea how heavy the flywheel is!

As for the speed sensor, your speedometer is cable driven, but the computer still needs to know how fast the truck is going in order to operate cruise control and overdrive. In 1994 they went to an all electronic speed sensor and got rid of the cable.
