Yeah. And the fact that it's US-made parts rebuilt.
[Probably by Mexican orphans in a TJ sweatshop... What Pedro!? only 6 propshafts? You had all morning. No Taco for you....]
I looked up TrakMotive. They're a Redlands, CA-based distributer for Wohn Industries of Ningpo, China.
And RockAuto can't get their hands on USA Standard ZDS9321 prop shafts because they're being sold thru Jeg's for higher dollars under a Yukon Gear label.
Supposedly the newer part is an upgrade over the OEM. It had a sexy stretched steel shell encasing the Double-Cardan constant velocity unit. [With the 2 u-joints] Sexy and Bombproof -- except you could hardly get a grease gun on all the little Zerx nipples inside without extreme effort. If you didn't know what to look for, then spin the shaft into an attitude you could reach it with, you would probably skip pumping lube there.
And that's what burned out.
As long as I can get to work in 2WD, I can wait.
[And 919's got a bent one-piece prop shaft. But that's another Thread.]
