Spicer "U" Joint Question?
Can someone tell me if part number SPL30-2x is interchangeable with 5-800x? I was told they are the same dimensions except the SPL # is extra Heavy Duty. Thanks for any help.

I know that the 5-800x is definately for alluminum drive lines. I just need to know if the SPL30-2x is interchangable. I have looked high and low and can't find a Spicer part number cross reference. Thanks for the help guys.

The 5-800x and 5-786x are still operative numbers according to Six States. These numbers are now being preceeded by SPL on the improved new product.
The SPL30-2x "rolls" to the 5-800x on their screen. As Corvette 0096 mentioned above the guy did state that the information on the "coating" used for the aluminum driveshaft application is not clear to him. He did say that he could call Dana tech to clarify, but wasn't really jumping out of his chair to do so and I let him go.
I did find this on the net and you can probably find a way to contact Dana and get the info. I didn't have time to jump through all the hoops.

Hope this helps :)
