After all that, I’m not sure I like it. Yes, the joint is in but it’s a little tighter than I’d like. Also one cap went in a little too easy for my liking. If it were me driving this rig every day, I’d probably run it and keep an eye and ear on it. But being that my wife is driving it with my daughter in the car, I think I’m gonna have to go a step further. I’m gonna run this shaft over to my local driveline shop and have the yoke cut off, replaced and balanced. Peace of mind ya know? I’m sure they won’t have this done until the weekend but I think with the front shaft in and this being AWD, I can still do my programming and learn process. This is gonna screw me up for going up north snowmobiling this weekend but I can’t in good conscience turn a blind eye to it.

Absolutely agree. Having your family in the vehicle makes all the difference.

Shaft dropped off and they said Friday hopefully.

Taking today to do a little tuning. I’m cleaning up the torque management and tweaking some shift points and flaring.
While I’m going thru the tables and tweaking things before the rewrite, I started watching “Don’t F**k with Cats” on Netflix. Holy shit! This is totally different than what i thought it was gonna be. Check it out.

I was able to rewrite just the TCM and skip the ECM.
It took without issue. Now I just need to do the relearn procedure and take it for a test drive. I need my rear driveshaft! Maybe I can do the relearn without it? My thinking is because it’s AWD I can put in gear while holding the brake as long as the front shaft is in? Or should I just wait until I have the shaft in so I can test drive right after relearn while trans is still warm? I’ve never had this transfer case apart, if it’s just chain driven and there’s no viscous coupling to allow slippage between front and rear shaft it should work. But if there is some sort of coupling like a clutch pack or fluid coupling, the rear output will slip and throw the whole process off. Perhaps I’m better off waiting, I’ve come this far already, what’s another 2 days.

99% positive the TC uses a viscous coupling. That's why guys fuss about going off road and getting stuck in the mud with their Denalis.
