Makdad Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Hey all I was just wondering if it is possible to disconnect the front drive shaft in our trucks to drop it to a 2 wheel drive for summer fun? Now I know some of u r gonna say y do that when u can get better jump off the line with AWD, but I was just wondering if it was possible to do, maybe have a little fun with smoke? I didn't know if this could be done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04silveradoclone07ss Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 i heard it can be done since some do it for dynoing but i have heard horror stories. that it messes up the front diff. some say they have problem with it for 50 miles some have dynod liked that over 50 pulls. so i dont think its a good idea.. dont want to need to get a new front diff just so you can smoke up tires for a little bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makdad Posted March 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Yea I wasn't sure, course my front diff is toast anyways, shes got a case of the grawls, I bought a new one, I just need to put it in, then rebuild the old for a spare.

wody Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 don't do it, you can search and find plenty of threads about this and how its not a good idea. it does not only affect the front diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNE Posted March 11, 2007 Report Share Posted March 11, 2007 Removing the front shaft does nothing to the front diff. It's the transfer case that will be damaged. There is a viscous coupler in the TC, that splits the torque front to rear. It will damage the coupler if operated without the front shaft in place.
