Play in drive shaft
Not a lot but I can turn (rotate) my drive shaft some, my transmission is in park. Is there anyway to tighten the rear yoke to take up the slack? Also should there be any slack in the transfer case. My truck is a 99 F350 dually 4:10, what rear end is under my truck, a Dana or what?

That's just the parking gear. Drive it and enjoy.

One more question, I understand the parking gear having that much slop BUT should there be that much with the truck on the ground, I bet that video was when the truck was on a lift.

Thanks, I just thought that the pinion should not have any slop. I don't like that and thought there was wear in the ring and pinion.

Also there will be more slop on the spiders than the ring and pinion.
You may be feeling that slop vs the bit of space allowed for the ring and pinion.
