2Piece Driveshaft Swap Guys

[DenisTheMenace]

Was reading the other day and noticed some have swapped the 1 piece shaft for a 2 piece shaft and was wondering would this help reduce the clunk I get shifting form PARK to REVERSE?

 

The clunk is annoying. I have a 15 Sierra 6.2 with the 8Speed and it's terrible. I am embarassed to shift into reverse if there's people around, the clunk is very noticeable!

I thought the crew cab trucks had a 2 piece DS in it. Most people are swapping over to a 1 piece.

 

The clunk is from the slack in the drive shaft yoke at the transmission. You can pull the driveshaft out of the transmission side, coat the drive shaft yoke in the inside with a thick heavy duty grease and then slide it back in. The grease will take up the slack and quell down some of the noise. There will still be some noise from the rear diff from the slack that is in the ring and pinion gears.
