U Joints

I have an '03 quad cab longbed.It's a 6 speed if that matters.2wd. 84,000 on the clock. Am thinking of replacing U joints to greasables. Can anyone give me part #'s? Don't want to have to grind some off caps to make them fit. Thanks in advance!

napa 351A precision U joint is the same number I have written down (from this site) for the 3 rear u joints. Its supposed to be the number for my 4wd but I havent actually changed mine. On one of the last posts I saw regarding them the guy still had to grind a small amount off the caps.

Had all mine changed to spicer as well. I've never ran greasable u-joints and don't see a need for them. High quality joints from spicer or other big names have always held up just fine unless your using it for a swamp buggy

The NAPA ones were too wide. I didn't want to grind anything so I got the oems from the dealer.

OEM's are AAM's! I would pull caps and add some lube to them.

how much were the OEM joints if you don't mind. It only took me about 3 min to grind the NAPA joints to fit on a bench grinder. It's easy just needs a little removed from the flat end.
