U-Joint

Hi all,

does anyone know the Torque spec for the U-Joint on a

99 f350 c.c. dually?

I have no zerks on there and was told that I should grease
'em up.

thanks

If the joint does not have a zerk fitting, its a spicer non-greasable, do not try to grease it. They come already greased for a lifetime.

I would just replace them with jerks instead of trying to grease them. They are cheap enough. Going to do all new ones this winter when my truck is parked for the winter months.

Besides, you can only grease half of it, at least easily.

Thanks everyone,

what was suggested to me is to remove the drive shaft
and lube the splines,

supposed to be a maintenance thing.

has anyone heard of this, or done this?

thanks
