PROPELLER SHAFT - FRONT
REMOVAL
NOTE: Different length propeller shafts are used for
different drivetrain applications. Ensure that the
correct propeller shaft is used.
(1) Place vehicle on floor or drive-on hoist with full
weight of vehicle on suspension.
(2) Shift the transmission and transfer case, if nec-
essary, into the Neutral position.
(3) Measure the distance from the face of the C/V
joint cup to the end of the C/V joint boot (Fig. 8).
(4) The correct length is 142.7 mm (5.61 in.).
NOTE: If the measurement is not correct, the wrong
shaft may have been installed or a mating compo-
nent (front axle or transfer case) may be installed
incorrectly. Investigate and correct as necessary.
(5) Mark a line across the companion flange at the
transfer case and C/V joint at the rear of the front
propeller shaft for installation reference.
(6) Mark a line across the C/V joints and the pin-
ion companion flanges for installation reference.
(7) Remove bolts from the front C/V joint to the
pinion companion flange.
(8) Remove bolts from the rear C/V joint to the
transfer case companion flange.
(9) Push the propeller shaft forward to clear trans-
fer case companion flange and remove the shaft.
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Different length propeller shafts are used for
different drivetrain applications. Ensure that the
correct propeller shaft is used.
(1) Install the shaft between companion flanges.
(2) The shaft should rotate freely in the pinion
flange.
(3) Align marks on the companion flanges with the
marks on the C/V joints.
(4) Install bolts to the front C/V joint and tighten
bolts to 32 N´m (24 ft. lbs.).
(5) Install the bolts to the rear C/V joint and
tighten bolts to 32 N´m (24 ft. lbs.).
(6) Verify propeller shaft length.
(7) Lower vehicle.
PROPELLER SHAFT - FRONT

REMOVAL
(1) Raise and support vehicle.
(2) Remove crossmember/skid plate as necessary to
gain access to the propeller shaft.
(3) Shift transmission and transfer case, if neces-
sary into Neutral.
(4) Mark a line across the yoke at the transfer
case, link yoke and propeller shaft yoke at the rear of
the front propeller shaft for installation reference
(Fig. 9).
(5) Mark a line across the propeller shaft yoke and
pinion shaft yoke for installation reference.

(3) Align mark on the rear link yoke and universal
joint to the mark on the transfer case yoke.
(4) Loosely install bolts to hold universal joint to
transfer case yoke.
(5) Align mark on front universal joint to the mark
on the axle pinion yoke.
(6) Tighten the U-joint strap/clamp bolts at the
axle yoke to 19 N´m (14 ft. lbs.).
(7) Tighten the universal joint to transfer case
bolts to 27 N´m (20 ft. lbs.).
(8) Lower the vehicle.

REMOVAL
(1) Raise and support vehicle on safety stands.
(2) Shift the transmission and transfer case if nec-
essary, to their neutral positions.
(3) Mark a line across the axle pinion yoke and the
propeller shaft yoke for installation reference.
(4) Remove the bolts holding the universal joint
clamps to the pinion yoke.
(5) Slide the slip yoke off of the transmission, or
transfer case, output shaft and remove the propeller
shaft (Fig. 11).
INSTALLATION
(1) Slide the slip yoke on the transmission, or
transfer case, output shaft.
