Applications
Tech Note 1: Lubricate
Lubricate the seal lip and yoke shaft with clean grease or petroleum jelly to provide initial lubrication.
Tech Note 2: Tech Help
More driveshaft yokes are wrecked by slam-bang methods of u-joint replacement than by any other cause. Refer to TM3000 Driveshaft and Universal Joint Manual or TSB3502 External Snap Ring Single-Cardan U-Joint Service.
Tech Note 3: Bushings and Seals
Always replace the rear output bushing and seal when installing a new yoke. For NP241DHD 4x4 Transfer Cases, use with QU90025 Rear Output Bushing and QU50171 Rear Output Seal. If you have a 4x2 truck with a NV4500HD 5 speed or NV5600 6 speed manual transmission, use QU10025 Rear Output Bushing and QU10023 Rear Output Seal.
Tech Note 4: U-Joint Specs
This 31 spline transfer case rear output yoke takes universal joints made to Spicer 1410 series dimensional specifications. The u-joint cup diameter is 1-3/16", the overall u-joint width must be 4-3/16". Use with TK40705 or QU40789 universal joints. QU40700 is specific to 1994-1997 Dodge applications and it measures 8-11/32" from center of u-joint to end. For conversion applications, also see QU40354 Yoke for 1998-2002 Dodge which measures 7-3/4" from center of u-joint to end.
Tech Note 5: Product Note
This Slip Yoke has one double width spline so it will fit shafts made with 31 narrow splines or shafts with 29 narrow splines and one double width spline (what is called a 30 spline based on 31 spline).
