6.5 driveshaft

[98_GMC_Z71]

I know this isn't exactly an axle or brake question but my buddy just bought a 96 6.5 diesel and he's been trying to install the driveshaft and he said he knows there's a trick to it but he can't figure out what it is, do any of you know?

There is no trick to it, you just put it in. . .

Is it the right driveshaft

Yours going to have to be more specific as to what the problem is. There's only 2 ends of a driveshaft, unless he got it really f##### up lol

All he told me was he couldn't get it into place

As far as I know yes

As far as I know yes

which side won't fit

The front side

Spline count may be off

It may be keyed. If it don't fit, twist it one tooth and try again. Keep going till it slides on... that's why I ALWAYS mark the shaft and the spline as I pull it out so there's no guessing...
