94' 1500 Intermediate steering shaft seized
Finally got around to installing the RockSolid steering column kit and discovered the steering shaft is seized. Have both the column and gear box side u-joint bolts loose. Could not disconnect the column side but the gearbox side is moving. Have moved it about 1/4" and the connection on the column has moved up about 1/4" inch. So the shaft is seized.
Did a search and could not find any fix for a seized steering shaft other than replacement. I have no problem replacing it but noticed all the aftermarket steering shafts are for 95' - 02' except for the higher priced ones.
Is there a difference between 94' and 95' steering shafts. Used factory ones cover 94' - 02' so not sure why aftermarket is 95' - 02'

Curious as to why?
It looks like the aftermarket ones have a rag joint right before the u-joint to the column. https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo...sn=978&jsn=978
Maybe a fitment issue. Going to look and see how much clearance I have there.
