H3 Heavy Duty CV joint

You're such a humanitarian - wheeling with those less fortunate than yourself. I hope you pull them home too :shifty:

That made me LOL!

Yep - the fuse can be an easy cheap part to replace - or further down the drive train and a very expensive part to replace.

Did you end up going with RCVs on your 3 when you did your ifs build? IIRC you were contemplating it but RCV had terrible service when it came to returning phone calls...

Yep - the service was terrible. We opted out for a number of reasons, the most important one being the fuse-able link.

I too have gotten the total blow-off from RCV. I was interested in running some of their Dana 44 shafts (with the same CV-joints you guys are talking about). After 3 or 4 e-mails and also leaving my phone number...I gave up. Hell...I was sitting here with my VISA card and all they had to do was pick up the damn phone to get my $1200!!!

Yukon ended up getting it.

And yes I did carry a spare front axle (the center, not the half-shafts). There is nothing big or heavy about it....probably 80lbs & 3-feet long. Almost the same size & weight as two half-shafts. Don't confuse the H3 axle with something from a Jeep...its half the size.
