I bent the drive shaft when I hit a GM spare tire :M laying in the middle of US-23 and had to replace it this summer. The new DS with joints and CB was $595 my cost and the truck rides very smooth now.
I know the two piece DS on all trucks Ford, GM and Ram all have the same issues back when they where using the square CB design. With that long of a DS you can never get the correct pinon to CB angle. Talked with a drive-line manufacture and he said pick which why you drive most often (empty or loaded) and shim the CB for that angle. Since we just sold the TT Saturday I guess empty was the right choice.

Just dump the two piece when needed, that carrier bearing is your weak link.
