Tahoe Driveshaft Question

[Pelado]

Got a customer with a '98 Chevy Tahoe 6.5td that came to the shop without RWD he said that suddenly he lost traction, he switch to 4WD and kept going.
Close inspection revealed that there was no rear driveshaft on his truck. Probably he blew the diff u-joint and he lost it. He didn't even bother to stop to see anything.

The thing is that down here I can't get the t/case slip yoke, I can have all the other parts but the slip yoke.

Where can I get the slipyoke? Any advise on driveshaft shop would be appreciated.
I've tried a GM dealer I usually get oem parts from but they seem to have the complete driveshaft and it's very expensive, even more considering shipping to Argentina where I live.

I have one from a 95 Sierra 1500. If they are compatible, you can have it for shipping cost.

If it's 4x4 it will work, if it's 4x2 I'm not sure

It's from a 1995 GMC Sierra 1500 4X4, NP241 transfer case, behind a 4L60E tranny.

I think I'd be driving out to the area where he "lost traction" and looking around the side of the road for a driveshaft... ;)

it's 200 miles away. No way.
If he was not worried about it why should I?

DmaxMaverick I'm sending you an email.

Just thought that if it was local it may be the cheapest way to get a "new" driveshaft for the vehicle.

Surly there was some noise involved when this occurred!!!???:eek:

Probably for months before and particularly so when the shaft exited the vehicle. Did it tear up anything underneath?
