Running with just one CV Axle
Hello, I have an issue with my left CV axle, I think inside the hub somewhere. 1999 GEN 1, SR5, ASIN manual hubs. If I pull the hub and find an issue where I need to replace the entire CV axle can I run without it in place until I get the replacement. Obviously no wheelin, just around town trips.

It’s been a while since I had my ‘94 pickup with the manual hubs, but fuzzy memory is saying it would be bad not having support for that wheel bearing in the center.

The manual hubs don't need the outer CV axle end in place to keep it in place, like the solid hub/ADD axles. Sort of, it's a press-in interference fit on the ADD axles, but technically speaking it's the end of the CV shaft that ensures it can't work its way out.
But the inside end on the center diff will dump oil out if there's no CV shaft there. At the very least, you'd need that 'tulip' end plugged into the diff.
