Yoke upgrade

[ericcarney]

Last weekend I snapped my u joint and my yoke trying to pull someone out of the mud, I would like to upgrade to a 1350 and I have a driveshaft guy that said he could do the swap if I could just find them used. I'm thinking of going junkyard but I don't know what vehicles a 1350 originally came on. I would even entertain buying the yoke new and an end piece for my driveshaft so my guy can cut my old one off and weld it, but I'm having a hard time finding one.

you can find 1350 driveshaft yokes from the 3/4 ton trucks.

What axle are you working on?

Working on a 12 bolt, I'm pretty sure it's the stock axle. I was able to locate the 1350 yoke and the weld yoke together from a local offroad shop for $75, and it is a 30 spline that will slide right on after I change the seal to compensate for the thicker OD.

I put the 1350 in and dropped the transfer case down about 2", everything is rolling smooth and now I just need to take it out wheeling again so I can see what the next part is that is going to break and need to be upgraded :-D
