I haven't had any trouble with them (so far). A little pop once in a while that makes me cringe. Pretty sure that from the shift collar not being fully engaged. Usually happens when I pull 4H going up the mountain through the switchbacks.

They really serve no useful purpose and just introduce a couple of more potential failure points. I wish Yukon would make a one piece shaft for the new trucks. I'd make a cover for the hole and just zip tie the cad up somewhere out of the way. ;)

i havent heard anyone having trouble from electric cad but as with anything else in life, just use common sense. you want the front and rear shafts going the same speede before trying to engage it. not after your stuck and rear tires turning 60mph and fronts are 0mph
