So i crawl under my truck , i bought from someone, the Shaft connected to the transfer case under the driver seat , is missing. so i get a shaft off another expedition 5.4 xlt , just like mine, and it is too short , from what im guessing , from what i read, i need a 38 5/8 prop shaft , 1. is prop shaft the correct name of this shaft 2. why does my truck take this rare shaft - someone told me i have the heavy duty transmission tow package. Please God help.....

before you go out connecting propshafts, remember there is probably a reason as to why it was removed.
the vehicle may be stuck in 4wd at the t-case somehow.
this seems unlikely, but its possible

appreciate the replies, I purchased this truck for 250.00 from a guy , no engine issues, transmission issues, runs and drives like a beauty , he just wanted it gone , the catch was , it needed a new differential , the rear end broke on me driving it home from Delaware inspection, Horrible grinding roaring noise. After a new rear end as of now....previously there was what appeared to me to be a ford f-250 or f-150 rear end on it , rather large , so I'm assuming being the gear ratio was not the same front to back , the shaft had to be removed so the 4x4 would not get damaged. so.... here i am waiting to purchase this shaft and install it , my issue was , every time i looked up drive shaft , i got the one from the tranny to the differential that would come up in search, I found the two drive shafts that went to the transfer case , but i didnt learn until recently this truck came with two different transmissions. It just seems like every expedition ive crawled under wasn't like the one i have. Im honestly just trying to make the best guesses here until I find the right answers, Thank you guys!
