and your truck has been used for what it was made for?
Here's what happens:

 

 

 

It also looks like I am missing a seal between the T/C and the yoke slip. That's the only way I can figure the fluid is getting out. Since I am going to have to remove the driveline again to put a seal in, I am going to replace the rear pinion seal since that is bad too, and I only have to take off one more nut to get to it. After that, hopefully all will be well again. Did this outside last night while it was about 33 deg. and snowing hard.

 

I'd say you definately got your money's worth.............

 

Yup, 100k will do it too.



Nary a bearing in sight



Some people don't like them, but I prefer greaseable ones that I hit with every oil change.

I don't have a vise, that would have made it easier. I prefer the greasable ones too, which is why I got them again. I just have to flip the rear one around when I take it back off to put the seal in. The grease fitting is turned facing into the u joint cradle(?) on the rear end. It was a major PITA to grease it.

I grease every LOF too! I have parts on the front suspension that have to be greased as well, so while I'm under there...

 

Too bad they didn't make to 200k. You should be good to go for another 100k with the new ones.

 

I'm guessing the new U Joints will probably outlast the truck, as much as I don't want that to happen.
