Dont brake your driveline!
sunday i was driving home when my driveline broke. i wish i had a digital camera, but it was the part where the front u joint goes in to the front part of the drive shaft at the rear of the trans case. the u joint is held in with snap rings. the section slips on the driveshaft at one end and the other end is attatched to the back of the t case with a u joint. thats what broke. i think its called a yoke.
well if anyone can post a pic of what it looks like. my truck is a 79 K10 short bed with a 1 piece driveshaft. i need one. the junkyard didnt have one. i dont want to check a driveline shop unless i have to. thanks.

i shifted my truck into reverse while going about 30mph in drive and the driveshaft dropped. had to be replaced.
about 3 months later i only had 1st and R on the tranny. about a year after that my flexplate ended up cracking a lot. so yes, you dotn wanna break any of that stuff! |

My step brother and I were at about 130 in my old S10, and the driveshaft decided it was too fast and said "I'm outta here", and "split"
ROFL!!!! "Split" Get it? NOT COOL. |
