Lol, the Jeep did try to pretend it was Fido once, hence why it’s silverish.

Decided today was the day I needed to figure out my driveline vibration. Rolled under the Jeep to grab the driveshaft. And it moved. A lot.
Turns out the SYE yoke was falling off the transfer case. Somehow the nut had come loose and the yoke was able to slide about 3/4”.
Tried to pull my driveshaft out to find out that the slip joint in my driveshaft is completely froze up so I couldn’t collapse the shaft to remove it.
So after removing the driveshaft with a pry bar, I removed the nut and checked the splines on the SYE, they seemed fine and were tight, so I cleaned the nut and lock tighted it this time. Reassembled with my spare driveshaft and the Jeep is running smooth again. I do still plan to order a new driveshaft though so my spare can become my spare again.
Kinda bummed about the shaft that’s froze up, it is painted balanced and everything EXCEPT the slip joint was rebuilt 3 years ago…

Also looking at that picture I see the driveshaft is now missing a grease fitting… it must have vibrates loose when the yoke came loose…

Did if freeze up from a lack of grease or is it bent a little ?

It doesn’t look bent. I haven’t greased it in a while but it was well greased when I installed it. I’ve probably only put 15k miles on this driveshaft.
