Could somebody double check me on this: I need 2 ujoints (no CB), the Spicer Life model is SP-5-790X for a 2001 1500 2wd. Is that what you all found?

 

Go with Spicer joints instead. Tried to post more but it wont let me.

 

DId the research, agree on the spicers but I'll have to order them. What about the Press? I remember VWandDodge posting about the AZ Ball joint press notworking too well on the Dodge ball joints, but what about U joints?

 

I had a shop put Precision in mine as I needed them right then.

 

They seem okay but I haven't had them long. I keep hearing Spicers are best.

 

Supposed to be stronger and I kind of wish I had gone with them. Oh well. If these wear out I probably will.

 

I think a lot of the ball joint presses don't have the adapter for the ball joints but I don't see why they wont work for the ujoints.

 

When I did my u-joints I used a table mounted vice and a socket from my socket wrench set. Can't remember what size was an exact fit but if you have a set you can size it up.

 

That's the problem, I don't have a HD vice or a workbench. If it can't be done in the driveway, it doesn't get done. You can do the socket thing with a big freaking C clamp too. Maybe I'll go that route.

 

have any 2x4's laying around? That's all I used, had a guy that works at a driveline shop show me a trick.
