Another drive shaft Question`
A member on here came to me asking me about the manal tcase swap. He has a 98 plus style drive shaft and the new manual tcase is a dual carbon style case. Is it possible for a dual carbon shaft to work with the 98 plus front diff?
So in simple terms will a 97 below front drive shaft fit a 98 plus truck? Im trying to sell him an extra front shaft i have an told him i would ask. Thanks Guys |
Nope. The dome CV style joint is the issue. The 97 and older trucks had universals at both ends. In the 98+ they're CV on one end and universal on the other.
He needs to spend the money and get a superlift shaft if he's lifted. It adapts to the trasnfer case with a double cardon style joint up top and a universal at the bottom. |

Then I don't see it not working.

yeah what Trevor said.....if he has a 98+ transfer case the output end of it has a beveled dome connection. 97 and below front driveshafts have a DUAL CARDON style. Meaning exactley what trevor said it has 2 unversal joints on one end, and a single one connecting to the front diff:
The top driveshaft is 98+ Front driveshaft The bottom driveshaft is a 97 and below http://i43.tinypic.com/3515lcp.jpg This is what he needs: http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/b...cture001-1.jpg Hope this helps bud |
