Drive shaft fell out while my wife was driving.
I’m out of town for a few months for training, my wife’s driving the truck on the weekends to keep it from sitting. While driving the front drive shaft . . . fell out from the transfer case 500 feet from the house. Looks like the Uni ripped apart. So, obviously replace it.
Heres the question: there’s play in the front differential, meaning it turns forward and back a bit. Is this an indication of a larger issue? Also, should I be looking at more than just replacing the Uni.
I have the rave and a parts manual. It’s a discovery 2 HSE, lifted with A/T tires. 92k I’m the 5th owner and had it form half a year. Previous maintenance unknown. Looking to keep.

Yep, extremely lucky. If you get about a quarter turn out of the differential yoke...that's normal. You may want to replace that 02 sensor while you're at it, looks pretty beat up.
