u joint issues.
 
are you pullers running into problems with rear u joints? are you running stock or aftermarket? prefered brands? Thanks in advance!

The joint at the rear diff is the one I have had problems with. I went to NAPA and replaced them with greaseable joints no more problems. I did replace them at 400,000 mile mark just because of the miles on them.

Federal-Mogul Precision universal joints (U-joints)

thank you

If you are looking for the strongest, readily available u-joint; buy Spicer non-greasable.

Other brands may work, but I can promise you that they wont last as long as a genuine spicer.

If I was pulling,I would take the shaft to a good driveline shop and increase the joint and yoke size.

i don't pull it, i just figured if anyone had the solution it would be in this forum. thanks to all.

i called a local spicer dealer, and they told me they don't offer those for our trucks.
