which 9 inch yoke

[Labbster]

how do I determine which replacement yoke I need for my '76 9 inch? they guy putting in my gears and locker says mine has a huge groove. Thanks!

Are you sure yours is bad? Where's the groove? If it's an OE yoke, it will have a groove between the two cylindrical portions that locate and capture the u-joint caps. If you're not sure what they look like new, Google it and you'll see a million examples of OE and aftermarket equivalents.

If he is talking about a groove in the pinion yoke where the seal rides this is a very common problem. You can use a speedy sleeve to get a new surface for the seal to ride on. They are less expensive then buying a new yoke. Just Google it. The last one I bought came from NAPA.

Pretty sure it's a 1310 short yoke. I had to buy a new one recently to finish building a third member.

He said the groove was where the seal goes. And he stated he does not want to use the sleeve. I have been told there are numerous yokes and if I buy one, I need to get the correct one shipped to him

Not sure why he wouldn't want to use a sleeve? They work great.

your rebuilder seems like a real open minded guy

They sure do! Better than new yoke, in fact. ?:?
