truckermutt Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 i recently broke a ujoint and had to call a towtruck and was towed to a shop that was unable to remove the yoke so they removed driveline #2 and #3 from the transmission i had to pick up the drivelines and take them to a driveline repair shop where they replaced all the u joints and the carrier berring and after 1750.00 i put the driveline back in the truck myself my question is on a ch613 with a sleeper and 3 drivelines off the transmission does the slip yoke go to the differential or facing the transmission? I installed it facing the rear ends and torqued the bolts to 80 ft pounds..i test drove the loaded truck and got to 60 mph and felt no vibration ...did i do it right??? i shure dont want to drop this driveline again..im new on this forum im a single truck owner operater can you please email me a answer to datrkg@gmail.com ..thanks guys Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41556-dropped-my-driveline/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It should only go in one way. If you have 3 drivelines from trans to front rear that means you have 2 carrier bearings. It should go in one way, I dont think all 3 drive lines would be the same size.

Macktech689 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Slip joints always go toward the front to prevent water and dirt from getting in. If the drive line attaches to the yokes with 1/2 inch fine strap bolts the torque is 125 to 135 ft/lbs. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41556-dropped-my-driveline/#findComment-301934 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Challenger Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Maybe I should have read the entire question.When I was an apprentice I asked a journeyman which way the slip joint faced. He said, "Which way does your d#ck face?", I said forward, he said, "Well, there you go, the d#ck goes forward." I never needed to ask and again. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41556-dropped-my-driveline/#findComment-301958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackMack613 Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 My 93 ch has a 2 piece shaft and the slip faces the front. Challenger's response is by far the best explanation of position of a slip yoke Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/41556-dropped-my-driveline/#findComment-301980 Share on other sites More sharing options...
