does anyone know where i can get u-joints for the rear shaft? sofar I have'nt been able to locate aftermarket joints, I would have to buy the whole shaft from the dealer 1146.00 (ouch)
sounds like the customer is going to get the shaft...

Take it to a BIG truck repair shop that builds/repairs leaf springs and such.They have replacement u-joints.I'm not sure what the cost would be but it's def better than buying an entire shaft assy from the dealer.They will remove it and match it up.I have never not been able to get a shaft repaired unless the ears got too badly damaged.
