Default HELP!!!! 08 Quad cab Rear U-joint

Can anyone help me find a rear U-joint part number for a 2008 Quad cab 2500HD? Single shaft. So far my only option seems to be the dealer on Monday.

Thanks

what 05RamMan said, also dunno if it matters, but if its a Long bed, that might be something to state. I would think the dealer would be open monday, im pretty sure its just government facilities (post office, school) will be closed. dont think a dealership would be

Sory duys, it is a 4WD 2008 Quad Cab(they di not make a long box in 08). I'm in Canada so MLK day is a working day. I was hoping to get one before I had to limp to work. Oh well, I tried. Thanks for the responses!!!!!

I would disconnect the drive shaft from the tranny and run 4wd, it will make your front tires drive the truck, but it will get you there. I would be at the dealership tomorrow. Just a post to help.

Can't do this. The rear driveshaft has a slip yoke into the t-case. You pull it out and all the fluid will be pumped out while driving. Then you will need a new t-case as well as a u-joint. If it was a fixed yoke, then yes this would work.
