    Looks so much skinnier. Is it greasable? I'm not seeing zerks.

    NFC what that cap was, unless that's what was covering the carrier bearing, what they used to pump it with grease or something before assembly? I don't recognize it, but virtually every driveshafts I've picked up was single-piece, taken off a used vehicle, and if it needed shortening, I carried it to a shop.

    Pro tip: Doublecheck the torque on your bolts after 100, 200, 500 miles, with special attention to the two carrier bearing bolts. Just make sure they're in-spec. If you didn't already have TQ numbers, someone here can grab for you (or you can look in the FSM, which I think you have already)

    Look in your old driveshaft And see if Theres a plate that keeps grease in the splines and out of the tube.

    Just got off the phone with the Doorman company. They have good customer service. They said the loose part is a dust cap for the back of the slip yolk... He said he could replace the whole driveshaft or I could tack weld the cap in place... I decided to weld the cap in
