i use the duralast gold ones you get from autozone. think i paid about 15 apiece with a lifetime warranty. they are sealed and use some sort of synthetic grease so theres no zerk fittings, which i have heard sometimes leads to u joints being weaker and breaking. i believe they are actually brute force u joints in a duralast box.
ive been using these for about a year now with no problems, even with my stall.

i have a vibration that i cant figure out. I am thinking maybe when they put gears in they may have nocked off a weight on the driveshaft. I am going to put different ujoints in because when you go to put it in reverse you can hear a clunk in the rear. I am also wanting to replace the bearings in the rear end and put 373s gears in. I dont know what the vibration is or where it is coming from. Just trying my options out. A buddy of mine said to use spicer brand ujoints..
im using the solid 1350 u-joint that came with my PST driveshaft. the 1350 u-joint is to match up to a moser 12-bolt.
when i broke my slip yoke, i took it to Dallas Differential (google it) to make sure i didnt mess it up, and they checked it out for free. I forget the preferred brand of u-joint that they suggested, but i recall them stating that napa u-joints suck.
