I know the OE orientation of the 40 series driveshaft has the slip joint closest to the t-case. However, I am running a mini-truck shaft with a U joint and a DC joint. The slip joint is closest to the Ujoint. So, if I put the slip closest to the t-case, I feel I am not taking advantage of the DC joint, since the rear pinion is pointed at the tcase. Does anyone know if there is a "rule of thumb" on this situation? I think I will wind up running it backwards - in other words slip joint closer to the diff.
PS - I ran it this way for 1 1/2 years now until I spun the shaft recently, and it was brought to my attention that I had it "backwards" to conventional wisdom.
