Precision brand #464 from Napa or www.rockauto.com
When you search use a "2003" model that will give you the better list of U joints. Since some of the newer years arent updated as of yet.

As far as I know all of mine are fine at 46K.
Is this something I should look at replacing before it becomes an emergency? I use my truck daily and it's my only transportation too.

Mr Gadget,
I dont quite understand your question.
The front "AXLE" joints left and right are #464's.
The Rear driveshaft joints for a 6 speed truck are #351's.
The Rear driveshaft joints for an auto are #295's (to the best of my knowledge).
Is that what you are wanting to know?

Just sounded like in the other post a guy said he used 464 for the front axle joints and another guy said he used the 351 for the same axle joint

I got my GREASABLE replacements at OREILLY'S . They are PRECISION part
number 464 . Why would anyone want the dealer to replace pos u-joints
with more pos u-joints, warranty or not . I've only got 28k miles, but I did
it myself because I wanted made in USA greasable joints and I don't trust
the so called "techs" at the dealerships. I installed a freespin kit at the same time so as to hopefully not have to mess with these u-joints for a long time.
