Can't seem to find the rear section of the 2 piece driveshaft I've got.
I ended up finding this https://www.ppmracingproducts.com/steel-driveshaft/ in which they have a 37 1/2 in shaft, but don't know if it'll pair up. Any thoughts?

Link doesn't want to work for me, keeps telling me "Secure connection failed"....

Looking at the parts manual, it seems Dodge doesn't sell JUST the rear section of the two-piece shaft, they want to sell you the whole thing.

I think your best bet would be either a parts locator service, and get a used one, or, find a driveshaft shop, and get yours repaired.

Ended up taking it to a guy in town to replace the yolk, it'll do for now.
Last question, considering the way it is right now, could I throw this bad boy in 4lo and at least get it to my house about 1 mile away?

Thanks for your help HeyYou!

Put it in 4 high. It'll just be front wheel drive.

I apologize, I have no idea why I said 4lo, I guess I was looking at my manual shifter too long
Thanks for your help again, Hey!

So, approached the truck to put it into 4hi to move it and it wouldn't budge at all. Tried putting the truck into park but got a weird noise/vibration almost out of it when attempting to do so. Had to put it into neutral to work around whatever was happening. So now I'm REALLY stumped.

Truck wouldn't move? Or shifter wouldn't move?

have to wait for the cad to engage the passenger side axle before it will actually move the truck.

Yes, the truck wouldn't move for some odd reason. Looks like I'll be traveling back soon to see if I can try it again.
In regards to the shifter, it makes a very weird noise /vibrates at the column and I'm not exactly sure what that is from now.
Seems like problem after problem when I just wanna get it back on the road!

Edit: I'm now assuming another u joint is messed up, which in return is cause almost a grinding noise when attempting to put the truck back into park. Any thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated!(sounds a lot like this video
)
