Hmm. What's causing your fresh U joints to fail? Does your driveshaft lengthen and shorten smoothly? is the pinion angle good?

I must have been in a bad place towards the end here. Regrets got turned up to 11. Shame to 14. Been a hole there ever since.
Blue was sold under duress and the rest was done out of spite. On a positive note I didnt get rid of all of it. Ive tried to buy a second gen but the funds wouldnt allow it. I would love to buy another truck sight unseen if necessary. Just dont really have anywhere to keep it currently.
