    Some guys who run rigs strictly for the mud run different ration on purpose so the front tires spin a bit faster so the front will create a little bit more pull

    Nice!

    Any particular reason to go with a yoke versus a flange on the pinion?

    Yes. The yoke is a 1350 billet yoke. I picked up a spicer 1330/1350 crossover u-joint to convert the last 1330 u-joint on the factory driveshaft. With my preliminary measurements and the last flange removed from the driveshaft mating directly to a 1350 yoke, I don't think I will have to shorten the driveshaft at all. Slip yoke should take up the excess. The 1350 yoke is way cheaper than a flange yoke and the crossover u-joint was only $35. A lot cheaper than shortening and balancing 2 drive shafts (primary plus spare).

    Long story, and I'll get into it if I'm right.....but check your adapter ujoint to make sure it is a spicer. I would bet its not.

    Box doesn't matter, pull it out and check the marking on the ujoint itself

    Third member is from ECGS, not Currie. I have a long standing relationship with ECGS and they have always taken care of me. It ended up being cheaper and a better warranty too. Not gonna mess with a winning formula.


    What am I missing?

    If its a genuine spicer joint it should have a marking on it indicating it. If its not it will have another brand marking on it, in my case it was a Neapco.

    Did you order it from Rockauto?

    I’ve had some misboxed stuff from them.

    Awww fuck it, shouldn't have been obtuse to begin with. Here goes.

    I was originally going to go the route of a conversion joint. However, after I fucked up my yoke I took it to the a driveshaft shop and I was talking to him about what I wanted to do and I brought the ujoint with me and said after you replace the yoke install this ujoint. And then the conversation went like this

    Him: "Are you sure? Those have a higher rate of failure than standard sized ujoints and they are a lot more expensive than standard ujoints"
    Me: "I already have one right here and it wasn't too expensive"
    Him: "Are you sure its a spicer? They are labelled as such"
    *pulls ujoint out of box*
    Him: "Nope, you got a Neapco ujoint in a spicer box"
    Me: "I didn't see any price discepancies online, they all seemed to be $35-40"
    Him: "its possible that they don't make them anymore and are putting other brands in their boxes"

    Hell if I know. If it works, it works. Don't really care what brand it is to be honest. I just picked it up at Summit Racing while I was in Reno today. I actually work on my driveshafts with them removed from the vehicle :D

    Cool, I asked the drive shaft guy why he sees more of the conversion joint failures and he said he wasn't sure, just for some reason for the amount that are out in the field he sees a lot of them breaking.

    It *looks* like you have a neapco. FWIW he said he'd only run 2 brands in his own vehicles Neapco and Spicer, so if it is it should be good.
