Re: 85 6.0 lq4 4.80e swap

Well, ran into another snag. I took the driveshaft and had it shortened and balanced. Went to put it back in and it slid in about an inch and stopped. The yoke wouldn't go in the tailshaft housing. We scratched our heads about this for a day or two and then I took it back to the shop that did the shortening. They checked it and said it was the same yoke and nothing seemed to be wrong. They did a little more checking and it seems that when it got hot from welding, it may have expanded a little on the end. They turned it down on the lathe and beveled the end. Hopefully that will fix the problem, I hope to put it in tonight or tomorrow.
