ZF5 output yoke and nut

[slyhog022056]

In a big bind, got a bad vibration at 70 mph the other day. Limped it home and found the nut is gone off the tail shaft of my trans and the little ******* that hold the u-joint end caps in the yoke are worn down to the point i can move the joint in the caps 1/8" because the ******* are almost gone.
I have been looking around and calling around and can not find another yoke.

I believe it is a ZF-547

a1 driveshaft will build you a new shaft for around $300 shipped next day to your location. Best bet is to go with a single piece shaft.

I need the yoke that goes on the rear of the trans. already replaced the ujoints not more than a year ago. But i will try to get in touch with them about the yoke, never thought a yoke for a zf 5 would be so hard to find.

97 F-series diesel is rarer than the gas version....add the hand-shaker plus 24 years later and you've got a rare bird

Found that out when I tried to get axle seals and bearings for a Dana 70 posi when I replaced them last year
