How does a Slip Yoke Eliminator work?

Do you guys have an sye kit for the np208?

exactly the info I was after. Cheers.

So would there be any harm if i set my pinion angle (jeep wrangler 2 dr) 2 degrees above the driveshaft as opposed to 2 degrees under the driveshaft? Like when you said set pinion angle 2 degrees under for the leaf spring and you get 4 degrees axle wrap which brings the pinion 2 degrees on top of the driveshaft. Seems like you might of said its ok to have your 2 degrees above the drive shaft without actually saying those words.

God damn that was informative 👏👏👏

Dude, this is the best education money never needs to buy on something extremely important to getting a lift. Thank you so much for creating this.

And worst case, you replace a u joint every 50k instead of 100k. Gee golly.

You also did not touch up on angling differential. What does that do to lubrication??

I need a driveshaft with this for a 6R80 transmission installation in an old vehicle.

Yeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeyeah 😎👊🙏

Good video but a bit over my head. I have an 89 Jeep YJ I bought from a friend. He and another friend of his put in a Pro Comp 4 inch lift but didn’t do anything to the transfer case or change the driveshafts. As a result, my YJ jumps out of second gear but only when coasting. My son says I need either longer driveshafts or slip yolk eliminators. Any advice for me?

Hi! You aren’t respecting the axle differential level lubrican, the pinion bearings will be broke in short time.

Very informative video thank you !

The one thing you don't tell us is this. Do you check angles with full weight on tires or when tires off the ground? I have a 1992 YJ with slip yoke eliminator. I'm also swapping out my D35 for a 2002 Ford Explorer truck 8.8. I need to know if I can set up the pinion angle while the tires are off or if I have to assemble everything and do a trial and error of tightening and loosening the axle until I get the right angle. Also the 8.8 yoke is offset to one side.
Great video otherwise. Very informative.

Great video and nice ak47 tattoo!

Fantastic explanation

Any considerations for impact to caster angle when tilting the pinion?

Great explanation

What if the pinion angle at the diff points down slightly? Is there a fix for that?

What an a 8" lift on a K20? I have a one transfer drop and the slip eliminator kit, already installed by the previous owners, the guy I got it from installed a 14 bolt free float axle. I get a pretty good harmonic vibration at anything over 60 mph. The rear axle has no shims in it, what do I need to correct it?

Thank you for the video, the problem I’m having at the moment I have a new 392 jeep with a 4 1/2 inch lift and if I get the front pinion angle proper I cannot steer the jeep if I roll out the caster to slow the steering down then the pinion angle is wrong I don’t know what to do? And I can’t find a shop that I could work with locally to help me get the thing to steer once the pinion angle is set in other words if I adjust the lower control arms longer it slows the steering down but drops the angle of the differential downward which is bad for the pinion angle and if I adjust the upper control arms it basically does the same thing if any of this makes sense I am been lost on what to do?

Excellent presentation... One of the best I've seen. Thank you

Very informative, definitely going to order a Tom woods shaft if I can afford it, it’ll be the final component for a Jeep MJ with 6” lift, SOA

This is so well done. Thanks man!

Now I need to put a 6" lift up under my Nissan Frontier XE 03 v-6 and I do actually believe XE stand's for extra expensive 🫣🤓👍 but seriously I don't think I could do something like this without this video and the many more I need to start watching them and instant replay on my phone.

Great vid,
But what about the front axle angle?

Where are you located?

would a slip yoke shaft work for a 2003 extended cab s10 with an air ride system? original shaft has the cv joints but it contacts the upper wishbone mounting bolt head.

What about lubrication for the opinion bearings? With the nose of the diff pointed up. Won't it be harder for that lubrication to get to those bearings?

Hey I have that SPI digital level too. I love mine 🤘🇺🇸

could you change the NP231 cv yoke to a 1350 output flange?
Curious as I have a NV231 Tcase with the slip yoke 1310 - I wanted to get a stronger drive shaft for the rear (1330 or 1350) because the rear drive shafts available are 1310 for the TJ non rubicon.

Is it possible? (assuming the drive shaft is complimentary to the new output flange of the tcase and Rear diff has the upgraded 1330 or 1350 yoke)

Thank you and hope it makes sense!

Great video :)

Great explanation of driveshaft articulation. Great for when I build my lowrider.....

Nice ink

Excellent work on this video. It was straight to the point using common language! Love it!

Shawn WOOD, relation? Nice AK tattoo😁

Fantastic video thank you.

Outstanding video. Watched this video the day after I installed an SYE into my XJ and still learned a few things.

Curious what the effect is on oiling for the pinion bearing when you raise it higher.

Great video and excellent information! Thank you!

Or run a CV joint !

Ok great so I have a 1993 wrangler and I put new standard leaf springs on front and rear and it did lift the jeep some. So how do I account for that do I still need a SYE? I did notice the angle did change some because of the new stock suspension.

How do you purge the slip yome

Excellent show. Every none skilled guy will understand how it works and have to be

Hi and thanks for the detailed video! I have a question though : adding a slip yoke eliminator and a double cardan will eventually completely ruin the caster. How do you fix the caster issue? cutting the axle and welding the ends in the new correct caster for e.x??? thanks!

This is an amazing video! Thank you

You covered so many areas I had questions about. Good job. Thank you.

Français

It's the way it should have came from the factory but the factory wanted to save some money

Hi there, excellent video. One question though, does a SYE works with all transmissions, i.e. manual and automatic?
Is that something 4x4 mechanics commonly do and do they usually offer a warranty? How about the waterproofing of the transmission and transfer box, does upgrading to a SYE requires replacing seals, flushing / replacing oil and such? Appreciated. Great video, very instructive.

Why does the rear axle to me is oriented upside down where the yolk is on top every time I see a rear end the yolk appears to be more at the bottom. It as though ,they flipped it for the video, giving it an even better angle of attack right from the get-go it’s just not observation. Maybe I’m missing something here.
