For Reference: He could only get the new spline end to go as far as the grease fitting and not an inch or so past it as it should. I had the same results with my old spline end.
Then he sent me home to take a measurement from the center holes of the center bearing support bracket to the tip end of the yoke in the differential.
Which I did and report 32 3/4 inches.
He will see what it takes to fix my shaft, he thinks once it is working as it should there may be no need to shorten it. I also asked him to replace the center bearing with the rubber doughnut.
More as the news develops...
