Default Please Help! u-joints

Hello everyone,

I need assistance as no parts store knows what size of u-joint my truck takes. I called Oreilly, car quest, Napa, Autozone, advance auto and even the dealership. I would really like to get the brute force u-joints as they have the best ratings and have a lifetime waranty. If anyone could/would please look this up I would greatly appreciate it. My truck as the following stats. Thanks.

1993 Dodge Dakota
DGB - All 4-Speed Automatic Transmissions
DGRS - 4-Spd. Automatic 46RH Transmission
DHAS - Lock-Up Torque Converter
DHKS - Shift-on-the-Fly,231HD Transfer Case
DJAS - 200MM Front Axle
DMDS - 3.55 Axle Ratio
DRAS - Corporate 8.25 Rear Axle
ELF - 5.2L V8 MPI Engine

There isnt a local pepboys around here. But I did call everyone else in the book. I was just hoping that someone could give me the measurement or part numbers so that I could tell them what to oder cause to have someone else replace the u-joints is going to cost me around 150 per u-joint.

Go to the parts store and mearsure the universal joints . Measure the caps and the length of the cross for all the joints on your truck. Use a micrometerfor the measurements .
