Changing the yolk on the transfer case

Hi all I am new to this whole forum thing, just signed up the other day. Hope I can help as much as I need help.

I just put a Dana 60 in my '90 F250. Im looking at a front drive shaft out of a '94 F350 in order to get the double cardon joint. I am wondering if it is as easy as pulling out one T case yolk and sliping the new one on. Help summer is getting here quick and I need 4x4.

Almost that easy. You may or may not need to modify the length. Other than that, well, yes it is that easy!

Sorry. I thought those two years were still the same t-case.

I thought they were all the same to. Didnt get any better news from the drive line shop either. Spicer has the right yolk, its just a month or two on back order getting it to canada, and the drive shaft I bought is just about no good. This seems to be a re ocouring thing for me and this truck. Oh well I will just keep on keeping on until its right.

I have been using original F250 shaft for about a year and has worked out fine. I had to shorten it 2", and there is a slight vibration above 45mph, but I just drive accordingly. Chances are if you are driving faster than that the roads are clear anyway!

Is your truck lifted? I have already had to notch the cross member.

I lifted it to stock F350 height, but that's not really a lift.
Yea, if you have anything over "stock" lift, a F250 shaft isn't going to work very well at all!

they could have had the same t-case, but there was the option that they could have either the 1345 or the 1356 t-case.
