stripped spline?

[wade145]

I have a 2000 250 and under heavy throttle it slips sounds like an input output shaft or drive shaft. would it still drive if any of these were to slip a spline shaft? the rear drive shaft is sloppy but i wouldn't think it would still drive after slipping the splines.

How many miles on yer 2K ?

Drop, Inspect and lube the Slip shaft, and check it's carrier bearing for any play. U-joints too.... but this sounds more like a tranny, or rear-end issue to me.. off the top..

i'm taking the drive shaft in to have a new joint welded in it. the diffs are full. I just changed tranny fluid and filter it wasn't burn or brown but the filter looked nasty when I dumped it out.

Also the carrier bearing is shot waiting to replace it till after the shaft is done hoping two days or so.

Fix the carrier bearing and then see if you still get the same slipping.

At least fix what you know is a problem first, before continuing..
