PLEASE HELP - on side of road
Hey all - so the rear (differential) end of my driveshaft just let go at highway speeds - very exciting. I figure if I can just remove the driveshaft I can put it in 4w high and at least get home.
Totally disconnected from the back, and I believe I read that it should just pull straight out of the transfer case, but no luck so far - sledgehammer should be here in a few. Any chance I need to remove this thing that's bolted to the differential as well??
THANK YOU for the help!!!

GOT IT OUT - took about 20 minutes with a hand sledge but finally!! She's running like a dream in "4wd." I truly do love this thing.

Just be happy your driveshaft stayed with the vehicle, mine was ejected out the rear going 70, never saw it again...

Got it home, about 20 miles!! Started making a little weird "click" but I think I have other tranny troubles - going to start a new thread about that, and yet another new one about this little driveshaft issue!!
