C 1500 Truck 2WD V8-5.3L VIN T (1999)
The propeller shaft is designed and built with the yoke lugs (ears) in line with each other. This produces the smoothest running shaft possible. A
propeller shaft designed with built in yoke lugs in line is known as in-phase.
An out of phase propeller shaft often causes vibration. The propeller shaft generates vibration from speeding up and slowing down each time the
universal joint goes around. The vibration is the same as a person snapping a rope and watching the wave reaction flow to the end. An in phase
propeller shaft is similar to 2 persons snapping a rope at the same time and watching the waves meet and cancel each other out. A total cancellation of
vibration produces a smooth flow of power in the drive line. All splined shaft slip yokes are keyed in order to ensure proper phasing.
