SYE DONE!	Permalink

Well I got it done this afternoon. Took about an hour and a half, and that included picking up my tools, and washing my hands. VERY easy to do. Vibrations are GONE, only the buzz/hum of the MT's remains. I have less than $270 in the whole thing. __________________ 2000 Cherokee Sport My Pics and Specs

The flange mounts with a 3/8-24 bolt to the output shaft. The driveshaft mounts to the flange with 4 - 7 1/6" bolts that thread into the flange. The nylock nuts are tightened on the backside for added insurance I guess.

I replaced all 3 u-joints just to be safe, the "ball socket" was in great shape, so It didn't need to be replaced.

Only "problem" so far is I greased the ball socket, and u-joints "real good". They are throwing the excess grease onto the converter, and it stinks alittle of burning grease. I'm sure it will stop soon, so I'm not worried about it.

It will work with the Chrysler 8.25 axle only. At least that is the information I have seen on several threads about using the front drive shaft with the H&T.

Also, I would not recommend this setup with anything less than 3"-3.5" of lift. Again from what I've read, and from the looks of it installed on my Jeep. It appears that you COULD totally compress the slip joint, and drive the drive shaft into the transfer case. THAT would be very expensive!

Basicly you cut the shaft down smaller, than drill/tap the end of the shaft. You than slide the SYE on over the splines, and a bolt than screws into the hole you drilled/tapped to keep the SYE from coming out.
