Can anyone tell me how many u joints I have in my truck please I am looking to do replace all joints with Spicers?
​

 

If you have a 4wd reg cab long bed or quad short bed you have 7 joints. Two for the front axle shafts, 3 for the front drive shaft, and 2 in the drive shaft. Quad long bed had split driveshafts I believe with carrier bearings but I'm not sure on that.

 

Thank you very much for the quick and nice reply I am new to this forum and so far answers have been rude and that's if they answer at all I have a 2001 Dodge ram 1500 5.2 quad cab 6.5 foot bed 4x4

 

Nice and thanks! Happy to help. There are different sizes from axle to drive shaft. I have them written down in my Chilton's but can't find it at the moment. I do know the fronts are 5-760x. The rear shaft uses two different ones and the front shaft uses three of one size.

Look here for the sizes! I always have to go a driveline shop to get mine as auto stores don't carry them (Spicer). Avoid anything but Spicer!

 

So you said there's 7 ujoints total

2= front axle Spicers

Get your u-joints locally. The ones that I got from the parts store, that they listed from my front shaft, weren't correct the first time........

 

Will do thanks man

 

Also, rebuilding that double-cardan joint on the front shaft is a MAJOR pain. I threw money at someone else to do it.

 

​​​​​​Everyone's saying stick with Spicer joints but I can only find spicers online not at any local parts store only Moog and duralast

 

Call your local truck parts store, Most auto parts stores don't carry them. They may not have what you need but can get them.
