Is there any advantage, in any situation, to using a slip yoke instead of a CV shaft? Cost notwithstanding.

I do not see any advantage of the slip yoke in any situations.

But that's really only regarding the double- vs. single-cardan joint. If you want shaft strength, look at heavy trucks. Slip yoke is always in the shaft with bolt-up flanges for joints instead of this obnoxious splined output shaft business.

When I'm in 2hi it feels like four wheel drive is momentarily kicking in when I am accelerating briskly from a stop and turning i.e. pulling out of a driveway. It is difficult to reproduce but a couple times a week I pull out into traffic and it feels like the front wheels are grabbing a little, maybe best described as a little chatter felt through the steering wheel briefly under acceleration.

I changed AT and TC oil a couple of weeks ago with no change. I've got 20k on the differentials oil. I'll change those when I'm home next week.
Any idea what could be going on here?

They didn't take long to seize up -- the tires are practically new! I guess you never know what trivial mod by the PO is going to bite you in the rear end...

I have the dumbest most basic question and yes I have searched this first by several key words and have found nothing. :-( I just bought a 2014 jeep cherokee sport. I've been googling for two days and have read the entire owner's manual and God help me, I can't find a scan feature on the radio. Does it not have one? Pardon the lamest question ever. :-) but if I just paid this much for a car that I can't even scan in hahaha that's the first and hopefully only thing wrong with the purchase.

I thought I saw a metal box for the rear that fits to the side for sell somewhere here. I've tried searching "compartment" and nothing popped up. Am I dreaming or is there a box for sale somewhere here?
