oh by the way, this truck is not a thrasher. i drive it like i am 44 and want it to last fore ever. no real wheelin YET.
i got the truck roughly 6 months ago and after about a month had to change the center u-joint.i did change them all with napa heavy dutys that are greasable. the guy i got the truck from said he had changed that 1 a couple months before. well it went bad again. luckily was able to drop and drive in "front wheel drive mode" when i changed it the first time it was frozen off kilter. now it just has slop. someone told me to make sure the motor was grounded and did do that. but a couple days ago was under it tightening everything becuase we where going to go wheelin and found the factory ground conected to the frame and block. any ideas. please help if you can. the carrier bearing????? it aint in like new condition but aint that bad either.
i am waiting for my new explorer 31 spline 8.8 disc braked rear end to show up, so kinda trying to stay away from the right way and just getting new driveline.
