Drive/Propeller Shaft: Description and Operation

The driveshaft is a tubular shaft which transfers torque from the engine, through the transmission to the rear axle. Driveshafts differ in length, diameter,
and type of slip yoke to accommodate various wheelbase and powertrain combinations.

The rear driveshaft is connected to the driveshaft rear axle companion flange by a driveshaft flange yoke with four bolts. It is connected to the
transmission or case with a driveshaft slip yoke.

The Super Cab LWB vehicle has a two piece driveshaft that is supported by a driveshaft center bearing support mounted to the frame.
