Measure twice, and cut once. ARRRgh! I "knew" my slip yoke was 1330, so I spent the money to put 1330 ends on my driveshaft as it had 3R ends on it. When I got it back, I discovered my slip yoke is in fact a 1310. And, I remembered that I have another slip yoke that just needed shortened that was already 3R! So, I could have just had him shorten the driveshaft, weld back on a 1330 end to match the 8.8 rear, and saved money. Now, I either have to run a conversion u-joint (which is what I was trying to avoid in the first place) or pony up for another slip yoke. Measure twice, and cut once. And you know what they say about assume. So, I put my frustration to good use hammering in floorpans. I forecast it will be running by the end of the year.
