My guess is the 10 bolt pinion comes back farther, making the driveshaft too short. I should have measured this already. I know alot of 10 bolt stuff interchanges, except when it doesn't. I'm wondering if I will be able to find a "bolt in" solution. I kind of doubt it. I assume a later model driveshaft would have that flange on the t-case end, which won't work with my set up. I was just taking a flyer here hoping someone had run into this at some point or had some extremely obscure knowledge. The right answer is probably just to do the D44 and run without the shaft until then.
