I think the VSS on the rear diff for that year may not be compatible to your year. Just mentioning for your list of items in case. Bummer on the yanked carrier.
Inner shaft has a stub that goes inside the outer shaft, and there's a bushing that wears out. So you need at least that bushing to the end of outer axle shaft (QU40107 from Quad4x4) and maybe a support bearing for the inner shaft (QU40292).
Thanks for the info. Finally managed to download the FSM with my dial up connection, took 26 1/2 hours. Strangely enough it doesn't show or make any reference to that bushing. I knew there had to be something like that as the seal isn't going to get the job done of keeping the axle aligned.
Replaced the stock muffler with a cheap-o thrush turbo. Had to do something quick and cheap for now. I can't stand not being able to hear a V8!
lol
I am going to be doing that today as well.
Replaced the tailgate bushings and had to fix my plasti dip since tailgate fell on the bumper several times.....and on my hand...
But hey! The tailgate functions properly now.
