K30 Downgrade to Cummins Project - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

If it is already loose I'd just get a new one unfortunately. I haven't seen where anyone offers replacement u-joints for them. You'd probably have to do some machine work to put a new u-joint in those yokes because if I remember correctly they peen those yokes to lock the caps in. Ebay has the best prices on them from what I have seen.

Borgeson makes a drop-in replacement for the XJ with heavy-duty shafts and u-joints. Theoretically it should then drop into our trucks.

Yep, I was looking at that one on ebay for a couple weeks. Just thought it may be overkill for my truck since I'm not planning on offroading this rig much. This guy has them a bit cheaper: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Borgeson-00...53.m1438.l2649
