thanks dieseldude i thought thats what it was but wasnt for sure.. do you know if there is a stronger yoke i can swap to?? i keep blowing u-joints out about every 6 months. so i thought maybe i could swap like a 1480 series yoke and u-joint in and make that stronger, but cant find a 1480 yoke to fit a dana 70..:c:

I don't believe so. Is your truck lifted? If it is not there should be no reason as to why it keeps eating u joints. Make sure your getting a high quality greaseble joint.

no im not lifted.. i have used spicer, napa u joints and they keep going out all are greasable. im gonna throw a set of traction bars on it to see if maybe its axle wrap doing it.. i was also told by someone that on these trucks the only way to go was a solid joint?? havent tried one yet but this is my 7th u joint ive gone through. thanks for the info i appreciate it:c:

Im not sure if this would cause them to go, but your driveshaft may be bent, and needs to be balanced, or bad pinion bearings?

ok i had thought about the driveshaft but then it doesnt vibrate or anything like that.. hadnt thought about a pinion bearing i will check it out. thanks for the info

Something wrong with the driveshaft or carrier bearing.

or your over torquing the u straps and pinching the cap into the trunion of the universal joint its self .... 20 Lb ft is max .... it will hold beleive me .... use a EP rated grease like Power Punch or Mystic #3 :tu:
also have your shaft(s) spun balanced by a good shop ..... yo umay not feel the vibration but your trans and your diff can get trashed by just a small amount of vibration ..... |
