update...

The old ram has been parked for the last two months, and I fired it up today, runs like a champ, I wd 40 the nuts out of the front u joints and went for a highway cruse.

Sure miss the hemi and no binding in the front u joints, quite surprised I have owned this truck for five + years, my elantra touring is now my main transport.

Not to flame up like a troll, but in talking with othier HD owners, booth Ford and GM seem to be having issues with non serviceable u joints, could be the norm for trucks 5+ years of age.

Yep, this is not just a Ram thing. If you do some reading on Furd and Cheby forums you'll see they are having the EXACT same issues...
