Stubby 04-09-2005, 08:29 PM Changed the rear joint at 45000, prompted by a vibration when towing. randy shafer 04-09-2005, 10:11 PM Changed mine at 34,000. Warrenty covered them. It was the back one. dealer changed all three. 2003 crew cab duramax all stock MaxOD 04-09-2005, 10:54 PM Change the u-joints as soon as you suspect they are worn. I didn't and it cost me over 3 grand in trans work. You may not feel much of a vibration in the truck but the trans can feel it and it doesn't like it, trust me on that one. noreaster 04-10-2005, 01:48 AM whats the best u joint for hd's Kirby 04-10-2005, 12:06 PM Changed mine at 165000, thought it was the Trans. Took in in to a real good Transmission shop for a check up and they found it was the U-Joints causing the vibrations, replaced the U-joints with ones with Zert Fittings. I guess I shoud have gotten that @#@#$%# hearing aid everyone says I need and I might have heard them long before they got as bad as they were.
