Tech Note 1: Kit Components
TK3101 includes these original equipment quality components:
3 TK40719 Cold-forged Universal Joints
QU40805 CV Flange Yoke
QU40704 CV Dust Seal
2 QU20139 Boot Clamps
S9978 Threadlocker
S9975 Anti-Seize Compound

Tech Note 2: Two Types CV Driveshaft Heads
Ford used two types of constant velocity driveshaft heads from 1999-2002, Saginaw/AAM or Spicer. Only Spicer Type CV shafts were used after 2002. During the 2005 Super Duty model year, a Slip Joint Design Change took effect on December 6, 2004. The Boot Clamps in TK3101 Kit are only compatible with the 1999-2005.5 4x4s built before December 6, 2004 with Spicer Type front CV shafts! If you have a 1999-2002 Saginaw/AAM Type Front CV Shaft, see TK3103. If your Super Duty was built after December 5, 2004, see TK3102 (2005.5-2014).

Tech Note 3: Ball Stud Tube Yoke Note
The 1/2" diameter stud on Ball Stud Tube Yoke welded on the CV end of your driveshaft tube (QU40825) MUST be in good shape. If it is not, the bearing rollers contained inside the CV Ball of your new QU40805 CV Flange Yoke will either fall out or break apart in short order. Besides having your Ford broke down again, this type of failure is something we can NOT replace under warranty. Another fairly common no warranty problem is to break a needle bearing by inadvertently dislodging one or more needles during assembly and then forcing the yoke into place.

Tech Note 4: Master Overhaul Kits
Torque King® Front Driveshaft Master Overhaul Kits are the highest quality and most complete front driveshaft rebuild kits on the market. Each Kit is specific to an exact Ford driveshaft configuration and every Kit includes original equipment or better quality components such as our long-lasting TK40719 factory-lubed universal joints that are built to exacting tolerances and feature extra hard cold-forged crosses, triple-lip seals protected by outer plastic splash shields, precision ground cups, thrust washers between the journal ends and cups, and corrosion resistant snap rings. Also included is a new Flange Yoke assembly, Clamps for the slip joint boot, Threadlocker, and Anti-Seize Compound.

Tech Note 6: Tech Help
An awful lot of driveshaft parts are wrecked by the slam-bang methods of universal joint replacement used by most people doing driveshaft service. Your Double Cardan CV driveshaft components are machined to incredibly precise specifications and can be easily damaged by either poor service procedures or makeshift tools (or both). My TM3000 Driveshaft Manual guides you through the various driveshaft service jobs using clear color photographs and detailed text. Do your CV driveshaft rebuild right the first time!
