I'm glad the 2000 model has a solid yoke on the rear end.
My sisters truck shat out its drive shaft at 70 mph also.
It cracked her transfer case and the shaft got ran over by an 18 wheeler while it was bouncing down the highway.

Could you get a pic of yours so I can see what the other one looks like.

Ok, apparently it's called a flange and not a yoke.

I did quite a bit of looking and couldn't find it.

I'll get a picture of it and put it on here if no one else already has one.

there is a guard you can install that catches the shaft and won't let it bang around when that happens for safety
