Not that i would ever do this, but what happens when driving on only front drive shaft? I had a new one rear shaft custom made and is too long... with 4wheel drive i can engage the front drive to pull the car. Like i said i would never drive it an extended period of time, but just got me wondering.

Thanks!!

well depending on transfer case you most likely have the 231 which has a part time only which means only drive it part time. (the 242 has part and full time) have you ever turned sharp when in part time high? it jumps clanks and jerks. which is not the best for it to be doing. ans puts stress on a lot of parts.

I wouldn't think it would hurt anything.
