Just wondering where everyone has gotten them. I have a split drive shaft on my D100.
I hear Spicer is good, not sure where to get them.

Re: Looking for Good U-joints for my truck
Spicer is it! They are harder to find now, National is about the best you will find at the counter these days.
I have been buying my Spicers from a local drive line shop that works mostly on commercial vehicles.
They aren't that much more, just more work to get. But worth it.

Re: Looking for Good U-joints for my truck
I don't know what brand it is but one of my u-joints came from NAPA and the other is a Spicer from a local driveline shop. Both are conversion joints, meaning they aren't the same on each axis. Its going to be fun to rebuild this thing in the future.

Sweet, Thanks Guys!!
Re: Looking for Good U-joints for my truck
Chilort, do you carry an extra X over u-joint with you? It could be a long wait on the side of the road trying to track down a custom order U-joint.
Wally, the Mc Mobile broke a U-joint and I put a Car Quest U-joint in and it seems to be pretty strong. Since the new CQ U-joint I've broke a drive shaft and last time out I broke a yoke off roading with the travel trailer. So the CQ U-joint is not the weakest spot in the system. I have learned that W-300 power train is not rated for Cummins diesel torque.
