While looking thru my ***.manual I saw where the driveshaft has a yellow mark on the shaft and a blue one on the dif. for proper alignment so how did GM index them

Sorry. I guess the question is whats the difference in the ends of the shaft they look the same some have weights on both ends the rear yokes sometimes have small weights. I have vibes at high rpm my indexing marks are long gone i'm just trying to systematicly trace my problem not throw cash at it

Most likely they were left by inspection at the assembly plant. That they were checked for torque.
