You can upgrade to a set of 1350's or 1410's, but you'll have to get some custom yokes. Tried to find some on-line real quick, but no luck.Sounds to me like something else is going wrong. Like maybe going air born? LOL. Probably more driver error and other parts failure than the u-joints. Sorry Jackedup.

Once the new motor is in I'm keeping it out of mud. I'll still play on dirt roads,trails etc but nothing to dirty up the engine bay. Then after paint its street only,I'm gonna get a mud truck on at least 44s,probably closer to 52s

I had had plenty issues with detonation before and I guess now that I think if it tune was prolly the cause. Due to tuner not knowing the huge amount of load the 38"s put in the motor. When taking motor apart heads showed a lot of sign of having detonation for a long time so I guess i just pushed it to hard at the track.

Putting new L motor in. Removed old, installed new and was driving down the street in 9hrs goin to parts store twice and eatting one. I did have a lot of the long block stripped down before we started thou.

Had to put stock tires on and flatten them in order to get the truck low enough to get the engine over the grill.

Still reading through the most recent posts, but i got a 1600-1800 stall with my new transmission. Feels like it's a tad bit higher speed than stock but i really like it. Very Streetable and would probably tow fine. I did have to adjust my tune a bit.
