How far in, Front yoke-rear driveshaft

[Milkman357]

I had a front Yoke fail on my rear driveshaft. It took out the transfer care housing...

I got everything back together... but I was wondering how far should the front yoke, on the rear driveshaft, slide into the transfer case, on my M-1009?

It seems to be a little over 50 percent in...

The part of the yoke slides in and out....seems to be about 6 inches long..
A tad over 3 inches enters the transfer case.

No extra lift on my vehicle. I did add a new rear leaf, to bring the rear end up a tad..

I think it's ok.... But I wanta hear what your M-1009 looks like...

You describe exactly how it appears on my M1009. A little more than 50% goes into the transfer case.

O Reilys

O reily's auto parts.

They carry many replacement parts. Other than the 24 v system... 24 v starter... its a civilian Blazer.

It's also nice to have friends!

Some things you might need a junk yard.. I needed a new front spindle.. Junk yard... $25

There were so many of these trusck made, and many parts are the same accross the truck lineup...

1/2 pick ups, Suburbans.

the CDR valve (diesel PVC valve) gets tricky.. but I think there are ways to rig up something newer. These vehicles will be around for a long time.

I have also heard of vultures, who hover around, and wait for someone to total their CUCV... Then you will get emails like.. "Can I have your glove box..."

or

"Is you dash complete?" funny but true.

Steel Soldiers is great! Just don't mention anything about GL... people get weird when an auction is going on!

Thats because were're hovering over those trucks like buzzards waiting to get our hands on those parts. (not me though, I haven't been bitten by the CUCV bug yet)

You really need to let the bug bite you. It will be like driving the M715, but for half the cost, more speed, less interior heat and you will sit in seats you actually want to sit in for more than about 10 seconds. Being able to walk into an auto parts store and ask for a part by announcing the exact vehicle it is going to get bolted on is a new and kind of neat thing.
