picked up a few mpg's

truck was burning alot more fuel this year. i figured maybe cause of the cold weather but even last winter it wasn't this bad. couldn't figure out what it was.

the other week i said to myself bout time i change the front prop shaft u-joints.

that was fun. probably was what was causing my vibration at 120km/hr.

long storry short, out of the 12 bearing caps, 8 were missing all the needle bearings. it was a wonder how the truck was able to run as well as it was with u-joints like that. the power increase and fuel miallege is incredable.


so word of advice. check your u-joints lol.
