IMO, just lose the stocker and go with a Gilbert. You can't go wrong.

Re: prop shaft
Yup, the Gilbert propshaft is HEAVY duty. So much so, that you have to cut and reweld your transmission range select lever so that it can turn...
"That's NOT a propshaft."
"THAT'S a propshaft.Transmission range select lever has to be cut and rewelded due to the girth of this shaft. It also has ZERK fittings so that you can grease it on the truck."
"18.8# OEM propshaft."
"11.9# MEGA propshaft. Front yoke omitted, adds an additional pound plus. Contact Bruce Gilbert @ Gilbert Driveline in NH 603-623-3061. $318.60 shipped in 10/01."
Had one on my truck for almost four years now with no problems as have MANY others. Buy a Gilbert and NEVER worry about it again...

Re: prop shaft
I just received my Gilbert propshaft. There's a collar on the shaft that appears to allow for fore/aft adjustment of the unit. What's the correct procedure for adjusting the collar? I didn't see it in the instructions. I will put some loctite on that collar before tightening it down, just in case.

Re: prop shaft
No adjustment necessary, adjust it to fit between the front differential yoke (supplied with the propshaft) and the transfer case and you're all set. DO NOT apply loctite to the slip joint, if you ever have to remove the propshaft for any reason, it won't be fun...

Re: prop shaft
I'm still new to the SyTy trucks, but the Gilbert shaft looks just like the shaft in the front of my 4X4 S10. Why not just use the 4X4 shaft? You would have to remove the companion flange from the front differential and install the 4X4 yoke, but that is no big deal. My shaft has 265,000 miles on it and all I've done is change the u joints 1 time.
