I have a bunch of problems with my front end and I've removed the front driveshaft to change the U-joints. I'm wondering if it's okay to drive it without the front drive shaft until I get around to replacing the U-Joints. I couldn't see anything that could go wrong, but I don't really know if that transfer case could start leaking or something.

 

if it unbolted from both ends you will be fine

 

you could drive it forever with no front driveshaft.

 

Okay, thanks. I was just making sure I don't screw something up.

 

my buddy has driven around for the last two months with no rear driveshaft.

 

ive done it, no problems..

 

Doing that will add wear and tear to the T-case chain really bad.

 

its a pizza delivery vehicle and it looks like one.......he bought it smashed for 500 and smashed it some more.

 

i just put my front drive shaft back in after 5 mnths of driving with it not in but laying in my garage

 

ive been drivin wit out one for a few months and im gettin abt 3 more mpg

 

Yeah, I suspect I'm going to get better mileage, but it might snow soon and I want my 4x4 working - just waiting on the Spicer U-joints to come in from Quadratec.
