Need to find output yoke

Trying to find an output yoke from the transfer case to rear driveshaft for my 03. I believe the x-case is the np271. Tried many searches over the net and came up with everything for the tranny and x-case except the yoke. Is this part readily available at driveline shops or is it a specific piece that has to be ordered?

Have read the post about the leaking seal on the yoke and have tried 3 times to stop it but no luck. If I can find another yoke I'm taking it straight to buddy of mine who is a freaking artist when it comes to welding and have him put the permanent fix on it. I know, I know......why not just take mine to him....I only have one vehicle so it'd be easier for me to find a yoke and just take it to him.

Any help here is appreciated.

The x-case is a nv243....electronic shift Dodge case and not the 271 don't know where I got that from. I believe i may have found what I'm looking for from Drivetrain.com but that small section of shaft seems to be a little high to me even though it does have the balancer attached to it. $200 it is !!! Maybe some of you have run across something a little more into the cheaper range. If so please let me know because I can't afford to keep pouring fluid into the x-case and really can't afford the price for the slip yoke. Plus the mess on the underside of the cab is friggin crazy. Spent several dollars already on Simple Green cleaning it all off only to have it appear a couple days later.

Are you sure its not leaking from a little plastic plug down inside the spline part of the yoke, for many years they had a drilled hole in the bottom of the spline hole that had a plug sealing the hole, I cant say I have had my yoke off to know if they do that anymore but its worth a look.

It's leaking like crazy at the bottom of the slip yoke where the u-joint goes. That little freeze plug is obviously a poor setup. I'm going through roughly a quart every other week. The mess under the body and everywhere else is horrible. Will give ssbearing.com a shot and see what they offer. Thanks for the help guys.
