some advice please

Ok, I really really really feel like an idiot.

When I posted my first message I was going by memory from Friday night, and very little knowledge, which can be dangerous right? I got home lastnight and looked at what was actually broke. It IS just the slip yoke that broke as well as the end housing piece (number 15 in that diagram). I got it all apart lastnight and will pick up the parts tonight.

Thanks everyone for the education, and I try to have a clue about the hell im talking about before I post.

Greg-

See above.. I offered mine to him for free. ;-)

Posting digital pictures is often a help. That way we can all see what the actual problem is.

Do a trial bolt up of the tailshaft housing and check the fit of the slip yoke before siliconing it in place. It should slip in moderately easily and rotate freely with the T-Case in neutral. If you broke the tailshaft housing I'd say the odds are about 50/50 that you bent the output shaft.

Posting a link to digital photos is good, posting the actual digital photo is not. :)

That is, of course, what I meant.

when I put the vehicle in 4WD to get it off the road, every thing seemed to be ok. Would that indicate that the shaft might be ok?

No.

The shaft is the internal part of the tailpiece or piece 31. Only a really careful inspection will tell you if it is ok.

You can put it in neutral and hand turn it to see if the end wobbles.

Sorry didn't see your's, as I said, if it was mine I'd give it too, but can't offer to give what isn't mine.
