URGENT driveline problems

[rockclimber24315]

OKay so i installed a lift now the rear drive shaft is hitting the yokes where it meets the transfer case. If I drop the transfer case and put in a shim on the leaf springs it should fix it. But untill can i just put a double carden joint(double u joint like the front drive shaft) on instead of the single U joint of the rear drive shaft????

Urgent : Not enough info, no, search, called Slip Yoke eliminator, stay off the rox mr. climber

 

[Lowrange2]

Whats urgent? Just do what you apparently already know how to do... It MIGHT take an hour to install the t-case drop and shims... Whats the hold up?

Sorry for using valuable space on this FORUM WHERE PEOPLE POST QUESTIONS, i orginally asked if a double carden joint could be used on the rear driveshaft but i gave some background info so you would know what i was talking about. If Anyone with an answer and not just a smart A$$ remark would like to help i would greatly appreciate it. And it's urgent because I don't have a car (because of said problem) and i have to drive 30 minutes to get to highschool. I live in the middle of no where. And I know that SYE would fix it but i don't have an extra 1200 dollars lying around for one and a new drive shaft.

Well take out the rear shaft put a plastic bag over the t case output and put a rubber band around it and drive to school in 4wd. Also a sye and driveshaft is noy 1200 it's alot but less than half.

Coherent sentences would help us help you. Getting butthurt because we don't answer a question to your satisfaction ASAP doesn't help either.

Worst case, take traitor's advice and yank the rear shaft and drive in 4wd. You should be able to do a hack n tap for about $250 with a used front driveshaft. Less if you have a 96ish or newer.

 

[rockclimber24315]

thanks guys I will run it with out the rear drive shaft untill I get the parts. Sorry about the flame but, it seems like some people don't even try to help they just want to start something.

 

[Lowrange2]

You sure are quick tempered to be a 21 posted highschooler. I just don't understand why you would not have done the drop tcase or sye to begin with... you can't expect to just put stuff together half way. I didn't mean to be smart ass by any means... you just need to be a lil more informative with your questions. You would think you would know how to do these things Mr. RockCLimber dude! Have fun in highschool! Oh how do I miss highschool.

Or.. spend 220 on a SYE and run your front driveshaft as your rear until you can either get a new front or a custom made

 

[RyanM]

Lol, what year rig is it. Don't run it no rear driveshaft if its not sealed ie. red fluids gonna come out, pre96

 

[Lowrange2]

yup didnt think about that either... good idea.

 

[Lowrange2]

LOL

 

[Lowrange2]

A 20 oz bottle and some duct tape works perfect to fit over the t-case opening to keep the fluid in. Had to do it on the side of the road one day.

 

[RyanM]

sounds better than a grocery bag

 

[Lowrange2]

Hek yeah... cut it in half, use the bottom to cap the hole and the top as a funnel to refill what spills out... 20 oz bottle worked wonders for me!

Pretty sure traitor told him to put a plastic bag over it. Want to know whats even worse than a special person posting up and than getting butthurt. A smart person posting up with some good info, but neglected to actually read the thread and notice that advice had already been given.............

P.S. Last time I checked, a AA HD SYE and a TW DS package was only about $500 something. Not sure where you came up with $1,200, but man do I want to work for that guy.

LOL not trying to be a smart ass but I think traitor already offered up that info... Sorry buddy I couldn't resist.

I was being a little more specific on the price and who made it...........

Point taken... good info! I'm not even sure who made mine... Got it from rustys for 480 with the TW D/S of course! AA i assume...?
