Call them and they'll send you the right parts. You can get either the needle bearing like you have now, or replace it with the composite one. I've already given you my opinion on that as well as told you were they go. The pick shows the large one. It says bearing.

hold on. save your money!!
here's the part numbers you need and where to get them for $5 each...
https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...-bearings.html
the larger bushing/bearing is on the inside edge of the cad. the bushing or bearing are interchangable. older models used a bearing. new models used a bushing. i replaced my bushing with a bearing. in the picture above, its labeled BEARING, in the bottom left of the pic.
the smaller bushing is always a bushing, and it goes between the inner and outer shaft.
edit - to replace these stupid little $5 bushings, you have to take the whole damn truck apart. you MIGHT be able to pull the outer shaft and collar, and then snag the large bushing/bearing without removing the inner shaft. if you can, great. if you can't, then you have to remove the axle seal, then the inner shaft. replace bushing. reinstall inner shaft. then replace seal. its a stupid setup that requires an excessive amount of labor to replace these little parts.

Thanks a ton Zman and HeyYou for your expertise- slowly but surely, it now all makes sense, so I appreciate your patience.
Thank you dhvaughan for sharing the links to alljeep. I went ahead and got the bearings over the bushing because its 1 (cheaper), 2. Its what I had before, and 3- seems to me a bearing would last longer?
Thanks again!

vacumn pump
OK I've been looking at these pictures, and don't see "where the large one goes", so please help.
Seal you can buy at an auto supply store
Shift collar I still have
Shift fork is attached to the CAD housing
The bearing (which I need to replace)
So then where does the "large one go"?

If the vacumn pump freely and is not tight could I be losing vacumn there or maybe plenum gasket

do you have strong vacuum at the 2 lines that attach to the cad ? (about 17-18 on the vac gauge)
you should have vac on one when in 2wd and the other when in 4wd.
what exactly have you got ?
