how to fix and how much?

 

Well just what did you break??

Do you twist the tube till the slip joint pulled apart.

Did you have a joint fail and break the flange .

So many interesting things can break

Repair costs depend on just how much destruction you did.

 

well my fiancé was driving and went to shift down and he shifted down to far and he heard a pop and all it will do is rev up so I'm not sure

 

This hapened to me 3weeks ago lol, paid 200 for used driveshaft, $60 for u-joints and $70 for the fuel line that was destroyed

 

So you never looked at what broke?

 

to be honest I don't know what I'm looking at but the u joint broke and the drive shaft broke that's what my dad told me, but were not sure on how much there gunna run, money wise and I was wondering if it's simple to fix or if it's gonna take a couple of days, it's my daily driver.

 

Well what vehicle is it? And take some pics then post. My guess is a junk yard DS would be your best bet. Remove the driveshaft for one.

 

93 toyota pickup 4x4 manual 3.0, your gunna have to give me a bit for the pics but I'll be sure to post them

 

Priceless you want to know how expensive a repair will be but you have no idea what all could be damaged .

Ok i can understand about like me trying to buy a bra

This is what happens when you let clueless drivers use your Truck.

 

If you lock the hubs in the front and put it in 4wd, will it go or will it just rev up?

I'm just going to assume it's a u-joint. The driveshaft tube should not bend or kink under what little power these trucks have, especially under normal driving.

Assuming it's just a u-joint, the cheapest option is to go to Napa and get a new joint and install it yourself.

Or go to the junkyard and get a used driveshaft, as Teuf said. That would be the easiest option. Just take old off, put new in. I think it's a total of 10 bolts, IIRC. 4 bolts to hold it to the transfer case output, 4 to hold it to the differential, and 2 to hold the carrier bearing up.

Best, but most expensive option: Get custom built 1-piece driveshaft made. FYI, it'll take longer than one day, so it's also not the quickest option.

Don't let him drive it ever again

 

like I've already said I'm not sure what it could be, I'm still learning. that why I came here and asked you guys so don't put me down because I don't know.

 

all it will do is rev up, thanks for giving me different options, and I might let him drive again just this time I'll be in the truck lol

 

If all it will do is rev up in 2 and 4 wheel drive, it seems like there is something else wrong. Ask him if he heard anything other than the pop. If the driveshaft broke, then he would hear a bunch of banging around from the driveshaft hitting other parts of the truck when the truck is still moving.

Pics of the driveshafts would be very helpful.

 

he's at work right now, all he said was he heard a pop that's it, the trucks in our shop, I took a couple pics but they were blurry so you can't really see anything, I'll try to get over there and take some.

 

I'm confused. Get under there, look and touch the driveshaft, both ends. Is still attached? Bent. Broken? Who else can look at this? Its in the shop, what shop? Auto shop?

 

okay the shop is our personal shop where we store most of our stuff like four wheelers campers boats, we work on our truck if something breaks. my uncle is going to take a look at it later for right now I don't have nothing to tell you, so when I go there later I will update
