V6 4X4 Automatic Guys, need some quick help.

[UnderFire]

I know most of you guys have the 3.4 Automatic 4x4 Combo, so I just need someone to grab a quick measurement for me if possible.

What I need is a measurement of the stock rear driveline length, u joint to u joint.

Thanks in advance to whoever can grab this for me real quick.

Bump, just need this one measurement

 

[the great him]

48.5" as it sits in the truck...

i just measured mine(i have two) and i measured it with the slip yoke at the wear spot -basically how it sits static 90% of the time.

it will move in and out some, if you need those measurements let me know as i can get you those as well

just for clarification, i did flange to flange... not u-joint to u-joint

Thats going to be longer than stock with the 4" of lift you have.

Which U joint in the double cardan? I still have my OE shaft I can measure but your better measurement is going to be as kid did, from flange to flange.

nope...

that shaft came off when i lifted

and the difference would be less than a half inch even if not

If you could grab the Transfer case side to double cardan, flange to U-joint, possibly extended and not that would be awesome.

Trying to find out if i can grab the rear shaft out of an Auto 4x4 to run for a bit until I get my driveshafts made once I get the 4x4 conversion done.

The double cardan is at the transfer case.

I do not think what you would like to do is going to work. The 4x4 shaft is shorter than the 4x2 shaft due to the addition of the transfer case in the 4x4 models. Unless you already have the transfer case installed. There is not enough length in the slip to make up for the difference.

But Ill get you measurements today. Unless someone beats me to it.

Man, I've never been under a 4x4 3rd gen I need to look at some pictures Haha, yes, I'm seeing if I can put in the new trans/transfer case while I'm under it, I know the shaft is going to be shorter, just bot sure if it'll be the right length.

Man do I feel dumb now, I was thinking for some reason that it was a goofy 2 piece setup like the pickups, that's what I get for asking questions when I'm tired. I guess the flange to flange measurement is all I need, thanks for the help guys.

Fully collapsed the OE shaft is about 44 inches. Extended to the wear mark on the slip joint is about 45 inches. Im hesitant to give you a fully extended measurement because you need as much spline engagement in the slip joint as is possible.

Thats from an 01, 4x4, auto.

Thanks, the 45" measurement should be good, I'm starting to think it won't work, but we'll see.

Multi mode transfer cases will be a different measurement, if you have a multi mode case then use the 45" measurement, but if you have the standard J shift case then you will be looking at the 48" shafts...

Got it, hopefully 48" will work for me for a while, would love to get rid of my squishy clutch while it's torn apart.
