Speaking of u joints, i am going through my splicer u joints on my blazer at a rate of one every two months. Is there a better brand to use? Or i used to have a 700r4 208 and now i have a th350 and a 203. could this have messed with my pinion angle so much to start burning up u joints?

What Brand Are You Using Now & Please Dont Tell Me Pdq From Autozone.
Their Brute Force Are Good.

just go with the CTM u joints they are worth the money till you find the next weekest link... driveshaft or hubs...

The PDQ joints are made by Neapco, the brute forces are as well.

There are three main things that will cause a ujoint to wear out fast; installed too tight, no grease, or bad angles.

brute force

I am a believer in Brute Force, have had good luck with them so far, even had a complete one slung out when the ears on my D44 shafts broke but the u-joint was intact!

OK i thought that they were made by splicer...maybe not thats what the box said. sorry i sound like an idiot but thats all i know. the splicer part number is 5-3147x. Tell me more about overtighting them...how tight do you go?

Which side is going out, the driveshaft sides or the yoke? If you are getting splicer ujoints that's probably your first problem, I've never even heard of splicer. Spicer joints are good though.

HAHA sorry about that i thought there was a l in there. HA! yeah they are Spicer joints and both sides are going out regularly.

They last me about 1000-2000 miles.
