I'm pretty stubborn and stupid, but here I am. Good morning everybody.

To bad the u-joints didn't help Jay. It reminded me to look at mine. They are greaseable, so it got done last night with the oil change. The plow spears are gone for a while now too!

I should add.....those are the only components with zirks. Both drive shafts and all of the ball joints and tie rods do not. Go figure.

I still don't get why these manufacturers skimp on parts like that. If someone is paying that much for a vehicle what the heck is another $100?

The new u-joints might be an improvement but it still feels off somehow. I need to drive it more though.
