Drive Shaft Disconnect question
I purchased my '97 Expy about 2 years ago and it has a choke pull looking thing on the floor next to the console. The person I purchased it from stated they towed the expy behind a motor home and this disconnected the rear axle from the running gear. Has anyone ever heard of this before? I would like to get rid of it but I am not sure what that would entail. Do I need a different drive shaft? Thanks for any info.

Driveshaft disconnect
They use them to disconnect the shaft from the rearend so they can tow vehicles with automatics easily and not use a dolly. To get rid of it will require a different driveshaft. Look at the rear of the driveshaft if there is a apparatus hanging around the u-joint it is still there. Sometimes causes strange vibration problems.

Yep, looked today and there is a thing hanging off the u-joint at the rear end. I guess this means I need a different driveshaft to take this off. Thanks. BTW - anybody need (or want) one of these and want to trade driveshafts???
