    The pack came with both. I ended up using the green one.


    Holy cow I cannot believe how big of a difference those two u-joints made in my ride quality! It honestly feels like a brand-new truck. All the vibes I had are gone:D no clunking when I change gears or anything! I cannot even describe how big of a weight off my sholders it is. I thought the tranny was shaking and clunking itself into pieces. I was just about ready to sell the damn thing...

    The "bearings" inside the caps are nothing but dust....

    I should probably change mine out. I'm still riding the original ones. 8 years, and only 110,000 miles

    61k miles. Best way to tell if any are going out is disconnect the axle from the diff and twist at each joint and see if there is any play

    Remember we tried that Blake? The carrior bearing and being bolted up to the diff and slid into the tranny doesn't allow it much movement. Once I disconnected it from the diff it was crazy how obvious the busted ones were

    Well, that was a great weekend. Concert on Friday night, wheeling on Saturday, some homework then dinner at The Flying Saucer tonight. I wish they could all be this good! (maybe a little more sleep next time)

    I second the motion that this weekend was great. Hung out with the girlfriend and my parents on Friday, saw the summer camp where I am working this summer and went to prom with my girlfriend yesterday. All I've done today was some yard work, napped, and watched the Stros blow the game. All in all, it was great.

    Edit: I plan to catch up on sleep soon, so tired...

    It was cool but there wasn't much to do besides go get food and cover it with chocolate from a chocolate fountain, dance on an extra small dance floor, sit around and talk, or go outside and take pictures with snakes. The theme was an African Safari so they had the opportunity to hold some snakes and take some pictures. Neither one of us are fond of snakes but it was funny to watch people flip out.
