1410 front driveline 1480 rear driveline Spicer non-greasable
Why in the hell would you want non-greasable? My rear OEM joints didn't last 25k, same with my dads chevy 1500, the front axle shaft joints barely made it 40k. Even the ones that looked good had no bearings left, were all dry and pulverized.
....and you've seen how many joints break because they were greasable? I think this is more internet ballpark facts, especially for a street truck.strength.....greasable means the middle is hollow
Well since we've sold semi's with close to a million miles with all original joints I beg to differ on they're service life. Seriously? who the hell is going to press out a joint to add grease?greasable doesn't have a long service life compared to their greasable counterparts.. But you can press a joint out and pack more grease into out if you want..

You can speculate on the life span and strength of greasable but I know for a fact non greasable is junk. The greasable ones I replaced the OEM ones with lasted 3 times longer. Here is one of those long life super strong non greasable joints. Joint was so unbelievably strong that the bearings disintegrated and killed the cap:hehe:

It's all proportional dude, they're way bigger but seeing way more torque.When a 250HP Cummins snaps ears off of greasable u-joints i would say there is a huge difference. And when Spicer themselves states that the greasable joint is weaker? Semi U-joints are a completely different beast, they are literally 5 times the size of what we run, are also bolted in or strapped in, not just clipped in.
Even Spicer recommends NON greasable in high HP applications as they will take the abuse longer and better than a hollow greasable. Only benefit a greasable gives is for those that get in water and mud alot to put fresh grease in.
Your such a stupid phuckstick. So what part don't you believe, the fact I had the truck or the fact I didn't want a 1000hp street truck? :hehe: What you should be questioning is the 250hp truck blowing u-joints in two. I've seen more trucks blow apart ring/pinions than joints. I don't know about you but I'd rather replace diff's than $10 u-joints.:what:Faulkner you sound like a douche... An you had twins an dual cp3's an you only made "around 600" ?? Just for that I think you lack intelligence.. An what will be stronger just from common sense a hollow piece of metal or a solid piece?? I'm going to like seeing your reply...
my truck has non greasable joints from the factory, and at 160K on the ticker,and just a few ponies over 600 hp, I havent had a problem, I thought I would replace them since I now have the tranny out.and looking for opinions. thanks to those that did just that. lol
