I Need Spicer U-Joints
I've heard many people recomend spicers over the years, so naturally I want them for my D44 install. Well the rear is hanging in the car and I called the local Napa and they sent over some *** crap with zerks that I sent BACK. So they sent *** crap without zerks and said they were heavy duty and I sent them BACK. I said I don't want to ba a pain in the a.. but I want spicers...They call back and say they no longer can get them.
Anyhow, I've been surfing and having some dificulty with something I thought would be easy.
Can anyone steer me to a site and possibly some part numbers so I can finally get back on the road? I'm getting anxious!!!

I just received all 6 from Gene, and they are Spicer. They run about $50-$60 each.

The half shafts take 4 of the 5-800X and the drive shaft takes 2 of the 5-786X. Look in the yellow pages under "truck Parts" for dealer displaying the "Spicer" or "Dana" logo. If they don't have them they can order them. You can also check for drive line or drive shaft repair outfits.

Chris,
If you can't find them , I have two brand new 5-786x driveshaft u-joints on the shelf if you want them. I get them from a local truck repair shop here in town. PM me if interested.

That's not encouraging that that they were superceded by the next lower part number. I know the originals had special anti-corrosion coatings for use with aluminum shafts. I wonder if the 5-785X and 5-799X are the standard versions.

Okay guys, don't hate me....
I had these in my car before I blew the rear and have decided to install them again...
I was told these are what the monster truck guys are running.

Here is the cross reference chart
http://www.neapco.com/pdf/Performanc...ed-9901155.pdf
The very best part is they were $15.00 dollars apiece...

As you can see from the CHART, the 5-785X and the 5-799X are for
steel shafts and don't have the cap coating the the 5-786X and
5-800X have to prevent galvanic action. Dimensionally, they are the
same and interchangeable.

I didn't know this but lucked out last August when I placed an on-line
order with them for the 5-786X and 5-800X.
Quoting DTS:
> Unfortunately, we cannot ship your order for the following reasons:
> 1st) The item you are interested in (5-800X) has been replaced by 5-799X, and
> is currently back ordered with no date for delivery.
> 2nd) We only ship via UPS or Bax Global outside the US via Internet Order.
>
> Your order will be cancelled, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

I can't believe the lower numbers supersede the higher numbers. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a superseding list.
