Killing U-joints - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have had the new motor in my truck for about two months now, and ever since the install I have consistantly killed my rear most u-joint on a weekly basis. (it's a two peice driveshaft) I have tryed a new center carrier but no change. It always kills the two sides of the u-joint that bolt to the rear end yoke. My question is could the torque be flexing the driveshaft enough to burn up the u-joint? Also does anyone know of a single piece driveshaft that will bolt in place? Or maybie somewhere that could make one at a good price?
Thanks in advance,

Terry
