Powerhouse, the original cv boot that DD2 mentioned failed and caused the spline that slips into the coupling to strip completely and bang around. It took me 300 bucks worth of repairs to figure out that's what was happening. Nbd though, as it was all stuff that needed to be serviced anyway. I'm looking forward to installing it. Should be a pretty quick repair for a whole lot of benefits.

I know when i installed mine i had to basically lower the front axle so i could get it to slide in. I was lucky as i was also replacing the transfer case at the time.

When i installed the new y pipe i had to remove the front driveshaft to install the y pipe.

Installed that sucker today! Works great. No axle dropping and no headaches. Honestly the easiest replacement on this truck since doing the u-joints when I first got it. Such a relief to have 4x4 again.
