i know what their site says...... but trust me, call them, its discontinued and they dont have any in stock. call any local ford dealer and give them that part number.

 

well i snagged the camera from teh wife. snapped a pic from underneath of the new yoke installed and my custom built driveshaft.....lol

 

Good deal Joe. Glad you found one. Thanks for the part number!

 

no problem

 

So there were no problems with it fitting up correctly? Read that some had issues with it.

 

it measured up perfect but the splines on the new one seemed to have slightly more of a "point" to them then the old one. it went on but not without "persuasion" i did give it a good torture test already and it holds up great. if i had to install another one i would probably take a few minutes and file the tip off of the splines. looks liek its just the way they are cut.

 

That explains it! Thanks again!

 

no problem, again...lol

 

I guess with the lift kid that would help
I was wondering more about the drive shaft.
I wasn't aware you put that style of knuckle in there. very cool.

 

why would you want that when you can run a flat flange and a custom 1410 cv for a higher operating angle?..

 

because you lost me at custom 1410, you are well past my price range as i have 80 dollars invested in this so far. the rest i built myself

 

well i understand that if its a $$$$$$ issue.

 

Hello to all first post for me. I just went through this last weekend I broke the yoke on my transfer case to my front axle. Unfortunately we just had a record snow of close to 50 inches. Oh and I live on top of a steep *** mountain with 1/4 of a mile driveway.
Ford refered me to a spicer shop. I was given a yoke to try a 1/4 inch was cut off my old yoke and I was told to put that in first. There was also a sleeve on the new yoke to seal the case. I am no mechanic but I am a machinist. I was told to tap in on with a small hammer. After lugging my driveshaft up my mountain in 20 inches of snow. I proceeded to beat on this yoke for 3 hours with a light hammer then lightly heating with 2 hours more beating in a snow bank. It needed to go another 1/2. After saying who cares what happens. I put the nut on and made one swipe down my mountain. I told my wife I hope it dose come loose maybe then I can install it all the way. I drove the truck to a friends house and we put an impact wrench on it. With the heavy washer the was only about 1/8 of threads. Those threads got ripped out of the nut. We replaced the nut put locktite on it with no washer and got enough thread to go in the nylon on the nut. If I can even get it off I will machine .020 out of the inside diameter of the splines to see if that helps. I already broke a cheap wheel puller tring to get it off.

 

What size u-joints are used in these driveshafts? On edit...Sorry, read the whole post and found the answer, 1330 u-joints. Thanks for the info.

rusty, they are 1330's if i recall.

pike, you will not get the response's you are looking for from me. pick and pry all you want.
the driveshaft does not vibrate at all, it has surpassed the reverse to drive WOT drops in the snow banks, so i really dont care if the welds are not pretty in this case. i do not own my own driveshaft shop so i make do with what i have.
