    Front is 5-1310-1X. This has the grease zerk in the cap. Need 2
    Rear is 5-1330-1X. This has the grease zerk in the cap. Need 3

    Suggest to replace the Carrier Bearing at the same time. You should also get the special nut for the carrier bearing.

    One thing I'm curious about but don't care enough to research is the difference between that and 5002334 (that's what I'm running). I think mine is technically made for 2wd but I don't know why that would matter. It works though.

    AFAIK only only different is an extra "dust" seal as they call it on both sides of the unit to protect the bearing on the 4WD models.

    @EatSleepTacos :thumbsup:

    My old U-joints had the zerk in the cross. It was always clumsy for access.

    So, I changed to the zerk in the cap. Access is a like a nice piece of pie.

    To take it 3 steps further, a tom woods driveshaft doesn't have a carrier to worry about. One of the better things I've done.

    True. But the Tom Woods shaft can't be obtained for the cost of 5 U-joints, Carrier Bearing & nut (roughly $160).

    Sometimes budget is a real constraint.

    How far can we go!? 4 steps further? All electric truks, no driveshafts at all!


    No no no you're right, too far. I crossed the line. 3 steps was enough.

    Electrics will have some form of a prop shaft.
