I wasn't sure where to put this, so I'll put it here. My driveshaft is two pieces, not with a carrier bearing, it runs straight from the transmission to the axle, but has a boot near the transmission and the joint inside the boot has play and shakes the truck at highway speed.
How do I fix this? can I just remove the boot and weld the driveshaft into one piece? If not, can I replace the driveshaft with a one piece driveshaft? Or is there a durable rebuild kit for this?
The truck only had about 40,000 miles when this started and about 43,000 now. This is ridiculous. My 87 Ranger, that my dad owned since new had a one piece driveshaft and tight original U-joints at 21 years old and 192,000 miles when I sold it.
