Yea, that's them, it was the same time you had problems with another manufacturers. I think I grabbed the Neapcos so I wouldn't get stuck with Moogs when the time came and go thru the same crap.

Just the difference in the cups is enough to sell me. That POS rubber lip is what failed on my first set of Precisions.







These were my original (about) 2 year old Precision joints that I bought.

RA has Neapcos in their economy line, but not the heavy-duty. Looks like I'll be ordering Spicers. Unless.... I haven't crawled under there yet to see if maybe these are greasable. I don't remember them being so, though.

EDIT: They're sealed. While I was under there, I also noticed some oil leakage at the back of the motor. I really hope the rear main seal isn't leaking after just 40K miles.

Do you have a driveline shop close by? That's where I got mine.... the driveline shop by work (GRS Drivelines).

Mornin' Bear!

Just found out that a house a couple street over from me (probably the same builder as mine) that is 200 square feet bigger, and has a .1 acre larger lot is on the market for 510K.

This market is unreal here. If my parents weren't still in SLC, I'd sell and move out of state.

So... 300 more acres in 24 hours. Still at 0% containment.

BTW, Ohio... these guys only sell quality parts. They have another brand they sell called Meritor. I don't have any personal experience running them, but I can tell you that if GRS sells them, they are top notch. These dudes build drivelines for many o' rock crawlers, Jeeps, etc. So it has to be good stuff.
