Getting tired of vibrations and bad Napa joints. The original lasted 120k I would like to last at least another 100k.
Who makes the OEM Mopar joints ?

 

I don't know who makes them but I still have the oem ujoints on the rear driveshaft and over 400k.

Had the local drive line shop replace oem frt ujoints and cardian 10 months ago, they used spicer greaseable. I wish I had went for the nongreaseable now.

 

Get spicer lifetimes, non-greaseable.

 

Yeap, Spicer u-joints and then have the shaft rebalanced at the driveline shop.

 

X2 on Spicer Life joints. Those were the OEM joints on the 2nd gen trucks. The ones that lasted forever, before they went to the AAM joints on the 3rd gen trucks.

 

Spicer doesn't make a joint for the AAM axle. NEAPCO is made at the same plant (ha!).

I have installed Spicer Life joints in many 3rd gen trucks. Their application chart is somewhat lacking, but the most common part numbers for these trucks are 5-801X, 5-806X and 5006813. The last number is a fairly new part number and it didn't show up on their chart for a long time. Here's the application chart if anyone's interested: http://www2.dana.com/expertforms/dek350.aspx

 

Does it fit without redneckery (grinding)?
