Got it fired up, tracing down either a bad ground or alternator/wiring issue.
Stupid question but I noticed that you painted even the shaft that's supposed to slide in and out of the drive shaft sleeve. Is that going to be a problem? On my GX that part is shiny steel like a hydraulic cylinder. Shouldn't it be left unpainted so it can slide as needed?

it’s a good question, I didn’t know before painting it was compressed when painted and when I installed the sleeve pulled out. Time will tell on that one, my thoughts are it will pull the paint back after a couple compressions. May just get a new driveshaft if problematic.
I didn’t think vehicles rusted that bad in florida?

They don’t, bought a New York cruiser, I kind of got screwed by not doing homework and decided I would see if I was up to the task of dismantling this thing and putting it back together.
