Oh for sure, its always a good idea to follow suggestions.

Its not like I speed in 4WD on a regular basis, I was just saying I have without any failures.

So I replaced the u joint again tonight, and actually welded the caps on the axle end. It looks like I'm in need of a new axle shaft... its pretty chewed up.

while you have everything apart you should check your hub bearing because i just went to do my u joint today and noticed that i had a bad hub.
