THe slip yoke on my rear shaft has way too much play!!! Where should I look to buy a new one?

If that doesn't get you there, then start on their index at
Universals and rear axle
then Rear Axle
then Propeller shaft
then Slip Yoke. About $75. But call them to sure that one is for a diesel.

Can I buy just the slip yoke or do I have to buy a whole driveshaft?

TonkaThunder...just curious...what were you signs of a worn slip yoke on the rear drive shaft? I've recently had a slight slippage and clunking sound when I start out from a dead stop...very similar to worn or damaged u-joints on a car. What was your truck doing to warn you of the worn slip yoke?
The noise came out of nowhere! At first it sounded like a bad u-joint, then it started clicking everywhere I went, then it started squealing too.
But my next question is if I can turn the 2 parts of my driveshaft opposite directions a little bit would replacing just the slip yoke actually fix my problem?
