Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2003 GMC Envoy XL, 2003 GMC Envoy, and 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Inspect the splines of the transfer case output shaft for a sufficient coating of grease. If the output shaft does not have a sufficient coating of grease, lubricate the shaft with grease (GM P/N 12377985 or equivalent).
    IMPORTANT: Ensure that the propeller shaft assembly is fully engaged into the slip yoke. The retaining ring will produce a snapping noise when the shaft is properly engaged.
  2. Install the propeller shaft to the transfer case.
  3. Install the propeller shaft to the front axle pinion yoke.

    Align the reference marks made during removal.

    NOTE: Refer to Fastener Notice in Cautions and Notices.
  4. Install the yoke retainers and the bolts.

    Tighten 

    Tighten the front propeller shaft yoke clamp bolts to 20 N.m (15 lb ft).

  5. Lower the vehicle.
