What is the piece of the rear drive shaft that goes into the transfer case that slips over the output shaft ? I am drawing a blank on the actually name and mine has some deep grooves in it and i want to replace it .It has that large circular piece on it as well. Thanks guys

 

are you talking about the yoke?

 

Yes that's what i was thinking! haha Anyone know anywhere to find one?

 

Eggland.....jk. You could try www.rockauto.com

 

couldn't find it.... Man this sucks lol

 

Boneyard or dealer

 

discontinued by dodge... story my life on this truck

 

I was gonna say, probably sold as part of the driveshaft assembly.

Any driveshaft shop should be able to lathe it out or replace it.

 

It happens. Most manufacturers only support vehicles for about 10 years. Up until a few years ago it was very rare to run anything past that. Most were dying by about 5-6 years.

Don't rule out a boneyard. They can keep your ride alive for a while, especially on something such as a yoke that normally isn't damaged.

 

As I recently learned, the slip yoke that goes into the back of the transfer case is NOT a standard size. Every other 27-spline yoke is 1.5" OD and ours (or at least mine) measures something like 1.556" OD. Needless to say, if you put a brand new Tom Woods 1350-series driveshaft on the rear with a standard 27-spline slip yoke so that you won't have to run a conversion u-joint on your Chevy rear end, it will leak profusely. Don't ask me how I know.

So now, instead of using a conversion joint at the rear end, I'm using it at the transfer case end with the stock slip yoke. Yay.
