Well, Rockford seems to agree that the CV design wasn't such a good idea. I
picked up my new shaft yesterday:

and it's got normal U joints at both ends (greasable), and a greasable slip
joint in the middle. The transfer case end has a mounting flange on it that
fits where the CV used to be, so it's a bolt in replacement.

Well, if you have a 99-03 Grand Cherokee, or whatever other years of the Dak
that used the CV based shaft, for $260 or so you can bolt in a replacment
sans CV. No need to swap the output shaft on the transfer case.
