Driveshaft U-joint

[ajmi]

Hello, Did some searching around and it seems that my driveshaft u-joint is going. It squeaks in reverse. I have a 1100km drive home at the end of the week and would it be alright to drive the truck home or should I get it done as soon as possible? The truck just hit 100,000 kms problem free.



Thanks,

Andrew

I would not drive that far with a known bad U-joint. If you must, at least have a set with you in case you need to change on the road.

Or Napa, Autozone, driveline shop etc.

I wouldn't get the dodge part. It's not greasable. I used a greasable replacement from Napa.

Ahh right on, Ill find a greasable one then. Found a Napa store around here. Thanks again.

Dodge does offers heavy duty U-joints with zerk fittings.

Well I had the driveshaft off with clips removed but I cant seem to figure out how to remove the u-joint. Anyone have a tutorial on to how to remove it? I found others that seem close but they dont seem to look the same as our trucks.
