Broken Rear drive shaft Help....

[Style]

Hi guys, always been a lurker here i love tutorials and post they are interesting




but tonight i need your help...... i was about 4 corner to my house doing donuts in the snow when......

sadly i decided to do a burnout like the usual... teeeheee... and the rear drive shaft exploded at the slip yoke... so i pulled it away put it in 4wd and drove it home very slowly ( was painful to hear the rest of the driveshaft knocking everywhere but i only had 3-4 min of drive to do so...


now its its the driveway its minus 30 and i dont know what to do.... i did some search some people say its fine to run in FWD to get parts but some say not.....


there is a seal on the yoke so my mind keep telling me if there is no pressure on the yoke fluid will puke out and fry the tranny right?

i wish i could move it around to get a new driveshaft from the junk yard a new seal and ujoints..... yoke dosent seem to be damage.....

thanks alot guys im from Quebec....... friends with truck are rare..... they all drive subarus and stupid fwd

If it was me I'd duct tape up the output shaft on the transfer case and drive to the junk yard

Transfer case and trans, while take the same fluid, do not share fluid. ^^^+1 use some decent tape and tape off the output shaft hole in the back of the transfer and ease it over there in 4x4. When you get your driveshaft installed, check your transfer case fluid, you will more than likely loose some, but it would work fine for 1 trip.

Okay my friend let me use his garage tonight but couldnt do Ha... i think its the originals ujoints and truck has 260k kilometers on it, couldnt figure at the time it was nylon injected

but i have a question for you 98_k1500 is it really the rear driving shaft we talking about... ? cuz mine goes in a transmission for sure.

Transfer Case output seal. Doesn't go on the slip yoke, it is pressed into the transfer case output shaft
