it’s the rear.There’s a small bracket between the cups on the u -joint,it’s like a small 1/4” wide bar that each end slides into the joint.Well when I was using my pry bar to separate the universal joint ii broke just one end of the part( not sure what u call it,but the parts store sells them)so I used a flat screw driver and sorta put it back in place.Whle I was under there I unhooked the decoder and plugged back,and there are 2 ground wire on the drivers side on the frame that were rusted.So I cleaned them and drove it last night with messages and NO TC light came on. Will keep updated.

It will help your diagnosis to get the 4wd code(s) that triggered the service light.
