Slip yoke for GM's aluminum driveshaft

Does anyone one how I can replace the slip yoke off my stock aluminum "1LE" driveshaft ? It says "Spicer" on it, so I assume they make them, but does anyone have a part number or a place that sells this kind of stuff ? Thanx

Naah... see it's not that easy. I thought so at first too. Hehehehe...

The way the clips are mounted for the universal joints is different between a steel shaft and the aluminum one. That's why I need that specific type of yoke. :/

The aluminum shaft has 1310 yokes. You should be able to take it to any driveline shop and they'll know what you need.

You could prolly call the dealer and get the part #. Then just order it off of gmpartsdirect.com
