For those of you who have disconnected your rear driveshaft due to having a slip yoke. What keeps the slip yoke from coming out?
Roads said:No i meant slip yoke. People will drive in 4wd and disconnect their rear DS, now making the jeep a Fwd to prevent either insane vibes or the chance of the DS falling out of the t-case. Now...back to my question, how do you keep the yoke from coming out? I am a nOOb at t-cases so take it easy on me.

You take it out, and on an older xj, replace it with this:

On a newer xj, rumor is you don't need to do anything beyond take it out.
And xj's dont necessarily mind being driven in FWD, I drove mine about 900 miles on the front tires a few months ago. Probably not a great idea, but it cant be -that- much harder than driving one in full time four wheel drive.. which is a factory option..

Just keep in mind jeep wasn't meant to be used as a FWD. If you're looking at this to find out the best way to get of a trail to get home when you bust a rear DS, or to drive around while waiting for a new rear to be made for that brand spanking new SYE That you've just put in (wait... when you put in SYE you don't need it hint hinkt).Roads said:Thank you cal, finaly someone that answred the question with an appropriate response in regards to my ORIGINAL queston.

Anyways if you're wanting to drive on the front driveshaft cause you got vibes... expect big repair bills sooner then later.
OK, in that case... you're asking for trouble. 'nuff siad.Roads said:The reason why I would want to run this is only if I have to. When I lift I am not buying a SYE right away. If my DS is about ready to pop out I would rather remove until I get the SYE and or DS.
