droped drive shaft
i left out from the shop i hang out at and drop my drive shaft off the rear end, luckly all i did was kill the u joint, it didnt take me long to fix but the truck was in the way of everything cuz i couldnt get it in the shop, my next step is to go ahead and change the other 2 u joint, i will feel alot better aftetr i get the other 2 changed on it, at least then i can get on it hard and not worry about hearin my drive shaft hit my exhaust pipes and killin them more then it did today, i think the farthest i mad it from the shop parkin lot as about 10 feet, so im lucky it happend there and not out on the road 20 miles from no where, what is the best u joints for our trucksi want to uprade to someting better then stock

Brute force is a good u joint . I run them in my hot rods i couldnt get stock u joints to hold up very long these last alot longer but dont have a grease fitting and are not cross drilled for grease canals.
If you have a half ton you will need Brute force part number BF0153 |
