Tried a search around here, didn't yield exactly what I was looking for. Wondering if there is anything special about driveshaft removal on a ’97 B2300 5 spd 2wd. Last time I wanted to closely inspect u-joints, I removed all the 12 mm bolts from the flange on at the rear end of the driveshaft...

Got to the gym yesterday morning, pulled the key out of the ignition on my '97 B2300 manual transmission and the engine kept running. I pulled the fuel pump relay and went to do my work-out. I came out and pop-started it, went to work. When I got home I parked the truck downhill on the street...
