U joints.....

So I went with the Extreme Race tune from Eric @ Innovative and it got me thinking....I have 167000 miles on my truck and NO idea when it had the U joints replaced. Questions is, what do you guys recommend? I used to run Naepco's all the time but should I just go with ones from FORD?

I always use Dana/Spicer u-joints. That is what most factory vehicles use.

I get mine from NAPA, never even thought to look at Ford. As long as you keep them lubed then I've never had issues with them.

Are they bad? Mine have 287k on them, original.

Dana/spicer or Neapco, it doesn't matter!

When I worked at the Dana/spicer plant in Pottstown, Pa, If we got over booked or ran behind shipping schedule, we would send some of the work over to the Neapco plant just a couple of blocks down the road, then when the u-joints or end yokes were finished at Neapco, the parts were shipped back to Dana to be packaged with a Dana label and vise versa.

I use the Neapco u-joints, only because I get them FREE from a good friend who is upper management.
