Yep, I forgot - I did change the front yoke when I did the new u-joints, as I'm running a T-5 as well. Thing is - I never saw what it came out of. It was laying on the ground and I said "huh" & measured it...good to go!

UPDATE- I found an aluminum driveshaft locally ....so all i do now is change out the yoke,put in new u-joints and go from there or maybe I won`t need to change the yoke its out of an all wheel drive so maybe it`ll have the same spline count in the transfer case ,I won`t know until I yank it I guess,the shaft cost me 30 bux to buy

The yoke on mine was physically different. If yours looks the same - then try and slip it in. What do you have to lose?

I had new joints installed, but they were the same size.

Now I can't remember if I also changed the tail yoke... Either way, you can use the yokes off your old shaft. I might have spares if you need. Anyway, do use new u-joints and if you have a local driveshaft shop, have them check the balance. It helps the life of the joints as well as keeping the driveshaft bolts from backing out (even with loc-tite)...
