33K Miles - U-Joints Already?

Rear U-Joint looks like its shot already. Off to the dealer 150 miles away.

I haul livestock in rough desert mountain conditions but seems pertin' near early to replace them.

Anyone, does DC offer greasable zerk units (like "the old days").

Thanks.

it's hard to believe that no one offers a Ujoint replacement without zerts.

call up orielly's auto parts... they usually have high quality replacement parts. betcha they'll have ujoints with zerts...

Thanks y'all. These stock units are the miseries.

Since I'm in warranty I'll let DC fix it and move to Spicer if they fail again before 60K.

I plan to order an 09' next July, if and only if, I don't read about recurring regen exhaust and code resets.

Greasables are out there and plenty of us have used them with great success.
