I want to get some greasable u-joints for the rear prop shaft. I found some on rockauto for 13.49 a piece. Would those be good or is there anything I need to look out for? Thanks.

I knew you'd grease them.I also use greaseable u-joints but there a little stronger then OEM ones for a KJ(1350's vs 1310's for OEM).It seems I grease them about once a week,OCD I guess,does take awhile to grease the billion zerks my KJ has now(Argh)Troy, you'll be happy to know that I grease mine every oil change (5000 kms) and after every off road trip, along with the whole front end. I figure that a couple of bucks in grease and a half hour of my time is a safe preventative measure.

Slightly off topic (sorry to jack your thread Rockymountain) but can someone provide a list of all the U-Joints on the KJ that need periodic replacing?
I've done some thread searches and I'm a little confused. People talk about replacing their drive shafts, but can't you just replace the u-joints on them?
I'm assuming we have two u-joints per shaft (front rear).
Anyway, a list of all replacable u-joints would be awesome.
Good luck finding a 1350 yokes for the D30A and 8.25.Took alot of looking to find a 1350 yoke for my HP44 and cost $125(new).just have someone build you new drive shafts with one Chevy 3/4ton cv joint and one 3/4ton u-joint, on both front and rear shafts... nice heavy duty parts, all completely rebuildable (the CV for these is just two u-joints)
Yeah and those joints are notoriously weak and ridiculously expensive to even bother.hmmm... yeah, you could be right, though I think they make a conversion u-joint, half one type, and half the other... i know they make one that will fit a chevy drive shaft to a dodge pinion. they both lock in differently
