Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Does Front Drive Shaft Rotate When Not in 4WD?

[kscheffler]

I just replaced my rear drive shaft u joints and I am wondering if I should replace the front ujoints. Since I hardly use 4wd I don't think they even rotate when the transfer case is not engage but I am not sure. I know you guys know... . thanks kts

No they do not unless you an 02 with the cad delete.

Thanks that is what I thought but wanted to make sure. I thought the CAD only stopped the axle from turning so that means not only the axle turn but the drive shaft and also internals in the transfer case. No wonder they eat more fuel...
