I just asked my shop to put in greasable ones when they did all the ujoints. I forgot to ask which ones they went with.

I have the MOOG's Sallyman. Over 30k on them so far and they are great. Little grease at every oil change and I am good to go.

I think I paid like $45 a piece for the front axle joints and about $25 to $35 a piece for the driveshaft ones

This is from a post that I had copied from a thread a couple years ago. The info was for an 03-04 6sp::

“If you want to install some good greasable joints go to napa and ask for a 351A precision U joint.
Its the same part for all 3 rear u joints on the 6 speed regardless of single or dual wheel status.
On the front joint setup just replace the whole shaft...
Its only $200 for an end to end replacement shaft with 3 new u joints and the double cardan do dad.”

I have not replaced mine yet so don’t know if the above info is accurate or not. LoL, just noticed you were looking for moog or spicer and you probably have an auto. Oh, well.

You can get the u joints for the front, the problem is there is a ball socket in he middle of the cardan that has needle bearings and it is a pain in the butt to reassemble. That is why most opt to just buy the whole new shaft. As far as the rear u-joints the 351A is for the manual tranny and the 330A is for the automatic. (at least it was for the 2-piece shaft on my Mega Cab)
