My old 89 chevy 4x4 used to go through u-joints pretty quickly due to a common slip yoke problem. I found and brand called "Brute Force" tended to last longest. Cheesey name but they were good.

Where do you get the Brute Force from?
How are the ones Napa sells? I was going to buy a new u joint today.
Only have Autozone, oriellys and napa in my area.

Yea it's been 10 years since I had that truck but prolly Advance or Autozone since they were the only two chains in town at the time. Pretty sure it was Advance.
