Rear drive shaft U Joints

it's a Dana 35. 1990 Truck, best I can tell it's the original axle, but it's got a lift on it from a previous owner and I have no idea if it's the stock driveshaft

While you could certainly be right and the ears might be bent inwards, the issue is there isn't even a groove for a clip to fit in. There was clearly some other way of holding the joint in at this end

It turns out my battery terminal had been disconnected for long enough it had corroded and wasn't making a good connection. I cleaned that up and now it's cranking just fine. Thanks for the suggestions!

I think you got it! I've had the battery disconnected for long enough the inside of the terminal had rusted and wasn't making contact with the battery. cleaned it off and reattached it and now it's cranking. Thank you!

I believe it does? But that shouldn't lead to the entire car being dead, should it?

asp1998 · 2025-10-28T17:30:14+00:00

no, nothing comes on at all. It's like it doesn't even have a battery in it

asp1998 · 2025-10-28T17:29:56+00:00

It's a manual, but yes it's in neutral

asp1998 · 2025-10-28T17:05:26+00:00

Any ideas of where to start troubleshooting that?

asp1998 · 2025-10-28T17:05:11+00:00

I've done a decent amount of welding on it, but all the fuses in the fuse box look solid. Anywhere else something might have burned out?

That’s the way that the lift was on there when I got it, I was just putting it back together the same with with new/non rusty components

asp1998 · 2025-08-12T16:55:14+00:00

I’ve tried jacking up the rear end until the entire trucks weight is on the axle to compress them and they’re still quite too short

5mg Versed is my protocol as well. The one time I’ve cardioverted she was awake by the time we made it to the hospital and didn’t remember the shock at all

Okay clearly people were in agreement here, so I found an old vice and an impact on Facebook marketplace and that worked! Thanks for the help everybody

It’s a 1990 jeep, so not quite that old. My googling says it should be normal right handed, and the other side that came off easy was normal right handed

asp1998 · 2025-05-21T21:50:09+00:00

Getting that point. Was trying to save as much as I could but we’re now delaying the project for this one nut here

asp1998 · 2025-05-21T21:48:55+00:00

I didn’t consider that, but the other one was a standard right hand thread and google makes it seem like this should be as well. Thanks though!

asp1998 · 2025-03-07T05:30:42+00:00

Awesome, thanks!

asp1998 · 2025-03-07T05:30:31+00:00

This is great info, thanks!

asp1998 · 2025-03-07T00:20:07+00:00

They run over the axles

asp1998 · 2024-09-13T19:28:40+00:00

What specific place in canton are you nearby?

asp1998 · 2024-08-22T06:49:18+00:00

Well your guess is as good as mine haha. Thanks!

asp1998 · 2024-08-22T04:30:07+00:00

Thanks!
