Can I weld this?

So the last time at the snakes among my many broken parts this seams to have been the cause.

If I weld a bead in there to hold the cap in. Do you think it will hold?

I now have a pinion guard so it should not take an impact like it did when it broke.

Might just be easier to replace the yoke...

Probably but I paid like $80.00 for that pos and I really don't want to mess with the pinion yoke on the 14 bolt. I went through 2 crushsleaves and a breaker bar getting that thing set up for the correct preload.

EDIT: cheston's too fast

I had a similar situation after my rear truss incident. Ended up replacing the yoke and the rear part of the driveline. I'm just anal that way. I did have a 60 though, so didn't have to mess with a 14 crush sleeve.

Had a friends truck do the same thing. We welded a coin into the yoke, nickle or quarter, i cant remember. it held up great. i think hes still running it that way and we fixed it in moab a couple years ago.

Every time i have had a joint come out of the yoke its bent it so the cups don't seat right and will do again easyer the second time sorry but i would find a new one.

Sorry, I've got to vote for replacing the yoke too. You'll be worried about any other fix the entire time you drive it. Luckily, since you now have a guard on it you can fix it right once and be done with it. Is it a 1410 or something that's not available at a junk yard?
