So I had a little driveline vibration on the Super Duty when I was driving it home from Denver. Haven't had much chance to look at it and the truck has been parked. Decided to pull the driveshaft after a quick inspection. I'm thinking this u-joint might have been bad.

Bad for you, good for scrap!

I should probably go grease mine!

J.D.

Yeah. After pull the driveshaft, I'm gonna probably replace all the u-joints. Good prevention. Plus both caps on the next joint just fell off with no effort. Don't think I saw any grease in them.

You're nuts. That has another 50k in it, easy.

That'll buff out.

eh, 25k at best. Have to save the rest for the Bronco.

Big thing that gave it away...the half a post seen the the bottom was not only not seated in the bearing cap, it was kicked over almost a full inch. Some heavy throttle and I'd probably have sheared it right off.

id go with u joints that are non grease-able they're much stronger on a diesel they have alot of torque . i have been through a couple and they seem to last longer and i have mine chipped so i like to mash the pedal and watch the smoke.

I picked up Neapco non-greasers.

Weld up some nuts to the old ones and just die grind round vwala, reconditioned u joints

Hell, I bet you could just use a helicoil to stick all the parts together.
