Since there really isn't a conclusive method of measuring for the rag joint that I can find, I bought the Dorman 31000 rebuild kit. I snapped the metal part of my rag joint trying to pry the intermediate steering shaft back to insert it so I am going to take it to a buddies shop to plate and weld it back up (I left my welder for my dad to do some work on his truck). This is an awful lot of work but my truck has been sitting for a week and I have done probably 20+ hours of searching the internet with no results. I don't want to buy 10 rag joints for $500 and risk either screwing up my input shaft threads by beating them on or marring up the joints by attempting to beat them on and not being able to return them.
