    Bought a new drive shaft for me 03 AC 4wd. my rear axle flange isn’t aligning with the holes on the drive shaft. Any help would be great. I have know idea if the previous owner did an axle swap

    There are at least two different spacing options for the pinion flange. If they don’t align correctly, your driveshaft doesn’t have the correct flange. We have a nightmare story on here of one guy who bought a truck where they re-drilled the flange to fit and it didn’t last for very many miles after getting it. Hold on, I’ll find a link….
