My brothers 2000 chevrolet siverado 1500 quad cab 4x4 dropped the rear drive shaft and he thinks the transfer case is bad on it as well. Is there anyway he can replace the rear drive shaft and bypass the 4 wheel drive to still be able to drive it? This would just be a temporary fix until he can afford to get the transfer case assembly replaced as well. Any help is greatly apperciated!|||Power to the rear wheels HAS to go through the transfercase, so no, you can't bypass it. You don't have to put it in 4WD, but if the case is bad, 2WD is going to likely cause problems too.
As to the other poster, why would putting the driveshaft in the same way it came out matter? Do they balance the driveshaft while it's on the vehicle? Do you make sure your wheels go on the exact same location on your vehicle, and that the wheel lines up with the rotor just like you took it off too? Ridiculous. That's why they are balanced individually.
What he MEANS is to make sure you keep a two piece driveshaft "in phase". If the driveshaft has a slip yoke in it, and it is taken apart, when reassembled the u-joints at either end need to be lined up. Since the 2000 truck invariably has a "slip yoke" (one end just slides into the transfercase) it's not going to be an issue, unless the truck is long enough GM used a two piece driveshaft in it.|||put the rear one back on and fix what broke to make it come off ,probably u joints, pull front shaft off but balance mark it first which is paint a dot on the shaft and on the yoke on both ends of shaft. if it is bad it should either not move or make a noise when it does move
