trading you wont get anywhere. If i traded my truck when i bought it, i would have lost money. If i trade my truck now, i will gain a lot. My wife hates the thing and thinks i baby it. towed 6 tons of trailer and hay this eve, how much should i bash it around? hahah. she called it my porsche, i call it my buddy. sometimes it is a buddy @#%$$%^ and sometimes it is your best pal in the world hahaha

both look pretty good. The bearing is perfect and the seal looks about right. Mine looks a bit different but i bought it at ford since they are cheap on odd ball parts on my old truck. The labor is crap but sometimes i make out like a bandit on parts.

slip yolk and fixed yolk. slip yolk has internal splines that will only go on one way, due to a "blind" spline ( it has no groove, just two teeth made into one) a fixed yolk is bassically a u-joint yolk on the end of a driveline.

ohhh okay thank you for that, so my ps was slip yolk because I remember pulling the driveshaft to grease the splines for that infamous clunking noise, but my truck doesnt have the boot you pull off to get to those splines (judging from my horrible memory though) anyway so our trucks are fixed yoke

A slip yoke has NOTHING to do with the splines or if the splines have a key spline or not!
Both slip and fixed yokes have splines, both slip and fixed may or may not have a key spline.
A fixed yoke is just that, it's got a nut fixing it to the shaft!
A slip yoke does not and is allowed to move in and out on the splined shaft!
-Enjoy

I do believe it was perfectly clear the conversation is about splined yokes, not welded yokes!

Slip yoke, to remove the drive shaft you unbolt from the rear axle then slip the yoke out of the transfer case.
Slip yoke is limited to the rear drive shaft to transfer case or transmission.
Fixed yoke, you have to remove the bolts on the transfer case yoke just like you did on the rear axle.
One more distinction.
If you have fixed yoke on the transfer case/transmission, it has a slip joint in the shaft.
If you have a slip yoke, there is no slip joint in the driveshaft.
And I an talking a drive shaft with no carrier bearing in my examples.
Starmilt is also correct, off the top of my head I have never seen a front drive shaft with a slip yoke.
