Have a 97 hoe push button 4x4 on a 6 inch rcx lift.

The other day my drive shaft yoke broke and now I can’t find a drive shaft the correct length to fit. This driveshaft is not a Tahoe driveshaft and I do not know what vehicle it’s come from. This drive shaft is 44 inches from center of hole to the other center. And the yokes are about 3 and 7/8s inches.

Does anyone have any recommendations of different vehicle driveshafts that will work for this set up without have to have a custom one made?

Thanks

I’m a little confused as to why you don’t have a Tahoe driveshaft in your Tahoe... has there been some customization of the drivetrain, like bigger transmission? Is there a different motor in there?

I have no idea. As far as I can tell the motor and trans are original. And the stick Tahoe shaft does not reach from the rear pinion yoke to the transmission.

I ended up ordering a custom driveshaft to fit.

Also I discovered that the drive shaft that was on the truck(the one that broke) was from a specific 4x4 blazer from year 97-01 I believe. It’s a 44 inch shaft with 3r ujoints. I purchased and exact replica of the shaft made by Coleman racing.so far it’s holding up great.
