oxarmy1 said:The biggest problem that we face is the DD who installs the u-joint and never greases them. Six month later the brass bushing is showing wear from running dry against the steel trunnion. I have had a customer claim to use the joints for 35k miles on his DD with nothing more than monthly greasing with Amsoil racing 200 grease. I can’t prove this. This is just what he told me.
I probably fall into that category. I have about 30,000 miles on mine in my Dana44 and have never greased them(I do have lockouts). I had the shafts out one time(while fixing my OX locker, go figure) and they still seemed really tight although I couldn't get them to take any grease.
