Need stock driveshaft

[ChuckD]

Since your headed south, you'll have to take 99 instead of I5, Stop at my place, I'll make sure you'll have a rear drive shaft. It needs new joints so I'll pick some up at cost for you. Or vist Kejtar, let me know.

If you're coming down Friday night it's no biggie..... we can make arrangements if need be Plus putting on the shaft shouldn't take too long as my has the yoke still on it and my ujoints don't look bad either, so it's just slide it on, bolt it up and off you go.

Kejtar & Chuck, where exactly are each of you located? I'll probably try to stop by whoever is closest to my route. Thanks a million.

I'm not far off 99, take the Clinton exit.

I'm located in Orange County of 405 freeway and 605 (more or less) Orange County so I'm probably a bit more out of your way for you... but as I said... lemme know

Ok, I'll stop by Chuck's since it is a lot closer to my route (and I'll get there at a much more reasonable hour). Friday night may be a little optimistic, but I'm going to still try for it, although I may end up leaving saturday instead. I'm swapping in a '99 29 spline 8.25 and, of course, it's taking longer than anticipated.

Thanks,
Aaron

I'll run by Neil's and pick up the DS. Have it ready for you Friday. As mentioned, I have to get some u-joints from the local store also. They should be less than $10 each.

 

[Neil]

Hey Aaron, do you still have the slip yoke from your old drive shaft? Chuck twisted the slip yoke like a piece of licorice on this one. If not, I may have an extra one lying around.

 

[ChuckD]

I have my old stock slip yoke around here somewhere, or you have it Neil. I'll try to call, I knew there was something I was going to do after work, :doh:

 

[awr94903]

I have the slip yoke, but it's got a number of nicks on it from a hammer (desperate roadside removal in the dark). I don't think I'm going to be able to leave tomorrow, so I'm going to try to get an early start on Saturday, how early can I stop by Chuck?

 

[ChuckD]

Well, Saturday can be a problem, I have Guard Drill this weekend and I won't be home from 7 - 4:30. My wife will be home, but I need a good time when you will be coming by. I'll leave all the ecential tools out, I have a compressor and an air hammer. I find it works the joints out preytty well. So, could you bring joints, I'll have the slip yoke and the DS ready for you. My number is (559) 243-1874 if you need to call.

 

[Neil]

Chuck, I can drop the drive shaft off tomorrow. If Terry isn't there I'll put it on the side of the house.

 

[ChuckD]

Your the coolest Neil, are you going to Swamp?

Chuck, thanks again for that drive shaft, it got me to AZ with no problems (the t-case is still leaking, but a SYE is in the works). Barely even any vibes, just a little at around 80-95 mph . I didn't make it to far after getting that driveshaft in, pulled over a little past Visiala and slept in the jeep at a Shell station. Sorry it took so long to get that sucker in, I can't believe I forgot those straps . I owe ya one.

Thanks again,
Aaron

Everything is cool, glad to hear you made it to AZ. Let us know when your back in CA.
