The guy is willing to sell the drivelines as well for 50 bucks. Do you guys think I should pick them up? I want to go with an AWD transfercase. I'm not sure if I can use them or not.

Thoughts?

To unplug those connectors (and plug them back in), you need to use a heat gun to warm them up. They'll come out easily once they are warmed up. A hair dryer should get it done if you don't have a heat gun. Some guys use a butane torch, but be careful, the torch can damage the electronics if you mess up, then you'll have to buy a new switch.

Don't use solvent on them.
