"DO NOT use anything but Spicers on the half shaft. There is a recent thread on U-joint explosion."

Where is this thread...?? I installed Bruteforce joints without grease fittings in both my driveshaft and driveaxles...

There have been several threads about U-joints over the last few months. The latest is "U-joint explosion" was just a day or so ago. Several members have had Brute force failures. I brought the thred to the top for you.

Dealerships survive off the warm fuzzy feelings they give off to the automotive ignorant, they could care less about anyone on this forum, for if we have the smarts to be on here in the FIRST place, we smart enough to have figgered out about them and their scams....so they're attitude is NEXT, PLEASE!!!!....you know the old sales game....smile be polite, take the money, then hollar NEXT!!!.....
believe me, there are plenty of clowns out there ready for clipping, they could care less about 20 year old vettes and their owners....

GENE :mad :mad :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :eek: :eek: :cool: :cheers:
