Hey guys,
I'm replacing my u-joint. Any recommendations on brand of part?

2002 4.2L 170,000

 

Duralast Gold works, lifetime warranty...I'm on my 3 set of U joints with only 130K miles on the truck so I got something with a lifetime this time.

 

lifetime warranty is good and all but i would get one with a grease zerk. Autozone has them as well but I believe the warranty is only a 2 year warranty. I'll change them before the warranty is up as long as i can grease them while under the truck.

 

Spicer! Best brand in my (and a lot of other peoples) opinion

 

You just need to make sure you put a U-joint with a zerk in to where the fitting is under compression and not elongation.

 

I changed mine and put ones in with zerks but I cang get a grease gun fitting in there to grease them, do they sell like compact tips or what?

 

You put them in wrong. Well, not wrong but in the wrong position. You may try taking it back out and rotating the whole joint around 90 degrees.
