[align=left]I checked my u joints out today and found that there is play in the "sliding yoke" comming out of the "output shaft"(right from the dodge manual) when i lift up on the driveshaft there is play in the back of the tranny...

I also have driveline snap when i shift from park to drive/reverse...
Im already aware of the tsb and its not for my year truck...

Any thoughts

How much play? Sure its not in the u-joints?

As for the clanking when going from park/reverse its just play in the spiders, its normal.

 

NOT THE U JOINTS...
its in the slip shaft

Have you used this kit before??

Thanks

I read about this kit in a 4x4 mag, someone was installing it on a jeep. I believe it's a good fix or I wouldn't suggest it.
