dannyzabolotny is on a distinguished road

The front driveshafts are known for being slightly too short and slipping out of the transfer case splines, stripping the splines on both the transfer case and the driveshaft. That can happen any time, but it generally tends to happen with higher miles. It happened on my 2003 4.6 at 214,000 miles.

Not sure if that's specific to prefacelift or not...
