I have always used the Spicer forged joints in the past and not had any trouble. I understand that they are no longer forged, but cast. Is that true?
So, whose 7290 do you use? Something that will hold a 1.5 60' with 3,800lbs.
I know I should go to 1350s. And might, just not right now.
Thanks!
Master, again and still

I've heard good on Spicer and Neapco. I would use a solid (no zerk) one.

If you could confirm that your choice is made in the USA that would be a smart move. On a side note, after installation confirm that it moves freely in both planes on the front yoke & the one plane on the rear ujoint, smoothly & no binding & if not then whack the "ears" till it does.

I used to burn through a Neapco in about a year but the spicers would last for years...
