Grease Port instructions are included in every kit.
Why Cover My U-Joints?
3 Great reasons:
-
Eliminate unsightly & damaging u-joint grease build-up.
-
Eliminate Debris Entanglement in the u-joints (commonly at the main-shaft / drive axle).
-
Eliminate a significant Non-Point Source of grease pollution on roadways & adjacent waterways.
Which one fits my truck?
With 3 simple pieces of information you can quickly find the correct part number.
-
The U-Joint Series (size) 1710 (under 7" across) or 1810 (over 7" across)
-
If driveshaft position, the approximate diameter of the driveshaft.
If approximate driveshaft diameter is known, select a Multi-Fit Kit.
If precise driveshaft diameter can be measured, select a Single-Fit Kit and save money.
Will it cause vibration in the driveline?
The covers are lightweight (less than 2 lbs each) & consist of 2 identical halves, so they are perfectly in balance. Correct mounting (according to the instructions) centers the cover on the driveline axis, eliminating runout & vibration.
How do I get to the u-joint to drop the shaft for towing?
We consulted with several heavy towing operators to address this very issue. Fasteners are large enough (5mm bolts), NOT phillips-head screws but Hex (Allen) socket heads (needs 4mm wrench), bi-metal (stainless nutserts & zinc plated bolts) so threads don't gall. Finally, the hex heads of the bolts are oriented to be 'trailing' in rotation on the cover at the front drive axle to make sure the hex heads aren't packed with junk. Simply loosen the 6 mounting bolts & slide the cover away from the u-joint.
