Sorry if this has been asked before, for some reason, using Safari, when I search it goes to a blank white page and never returns any results. I hate to ask questions already answered, I know it's annoying. Sorry about that.
I was changing out the oil level sensor this weekend and it's really the first time I've spent any time under this car (2006 with 3.0L). I was pleasantly shocked when I took the stiffener plate off and found no leaks. I sure didn't expect that.
However, as I was looking around, I looked at the transfer case and thought "What the heck does that splined coupling go to". A quick look forward and I realize that the car has no front drive shaft! In the research I could do, I'm guessing someone wore the splines off the shaft that go into that end I was looking at and instead of fixing it, they just told them to remove the entire drive shaft. So I have no front driveshaft and I'd like to fix that.
In my searching for help, only thing I can find is people doing fixes to the shafts, some with the transfer case off the car. Is this something I'm going to be able to buy and just slide the splines in and then bolt the front together? Or do I need to get the transfer case to slide back enough to put the splined shaft into it? Should would be nice to be able to just buy the shaft and install it without ripping 1/2 the car apart.
Anyone know how that all works?
I think once I'm finished chasing all these things out of this car, I'm never going to sell it because everything on it will be new
