First picture is just so you can see what the second one is of a bit better.

Notice on the upper side the shiny piece. Notice how it's not shiny on the bottom side.

Second picture, close up of first. Look at the left side, the missing/broken piece of whatever that is allowing it to wiggle so much.

 

No bueno is right. Looks like new driveshaft time.

And for some reason the video won't play. I'll try it again later.


*ok, it played. Thats terrible.

 

What made you think that was the problem?

 

Umm, don't know really. Nothing else was adding up, so I wondered if you inspected that at all.

 

heh.. i was gonna ask when the last time you greased your u joints... but.. yeah dude.. Now let me say this.. dry u joints can make squeeling sounds... so i gotta ask ...what makes you think the tranny is bad? Oh and thats your vibration problem for suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure! Does your wife have a hot sister??

 

wow you sound like my girl friend calling those big dumb elk her friends..

anyway , i am thinking that your u joints are bad or maybe the driveshaft too, i just had the same problem last month and ended up replacing the d/s and u-joints...greaseable u-joints gotta have them

 

replace the ujoints go ahead and do them all and remember to grease them this time

 

He was calling Jerry (92Toy) his friend, not the elk.

 

i have a friend................YAAAAAAAAY!

 

UPDATE---

Went out an picked up my tranny with Kiyo, and the guy happened to have a drive line. Got it for $20, and the shakes are gone =)

 

hey that's great.

about picking up a tranny w/ KIYO....maybe you shouldn't write that....just sayin'.

 

I was just the driver. I did not exchange the money. I had no idea what my friend was doing, officer, he just told me to wait in the truck.

 

sometimes it's not WHAT you say, but how you say it.......i saw a hysterical sig quote, not sure where, about (and i won't write it) uncle jack on a horse.....


anyway....how much of a repair job was this....U-joints or just driveshaft? just a simple bolt-on right....never messed with a u-joint, looks like a PITA.

 

The u joints actually looked ok, it was the end of the driveshaft that holds the u joint that was degraded.

So, 8 bolts and a little bit of grease later, problem solved.

 

is this the same truck the transmission is for?....and a new engine too right?

 

Yup, new motor and transmission swap all in a weekend. Should be fun. Hopefully the shakes being fixed can make it so he can wait til the weekend of May 22nd, then we can just overtake my garage and get it all done.

Lots of parking, garage fridge with beer and pop, computer, and tv with cable. very nice!!

 

a veritable YOTA-cave.

looking forward to seeing the progress guys.

 

Yes, yes, but its not my rig, so not my schedule. I hope to be able to help out, but we will see.
