napa premium (can't remember what they are calling it off hand) are made by spicer or at least supposed to be. Or for a fair price call Driveshaft Inc in Tulsa and have them send you some, they sell good stuff;)

I've had the best luck with actual Spicer u-joints. They may be different now but I only got about a year out of the napa super joints. I couldn't find the spices local so I ordered em from wh.

The best information, a true innovator and everything is always in stock! Seriosuly - largest Spicer dealer in the Midwest.

Here is the joint you want - life series so you never need to worry about water intrusion or greasing the joint.

I switched to nothing but Spicer life series joints and have yet to have a failure in 5+ years due to lack of lubrication or water intrusion. With one of these in your hand you will know what I mean by the seals are ridiculously strong - I needed a channel locks to get the caps off my 1410 stuff as they lock in so well.

Im a fan of spicer. Some of the super strong joints seem like alot of maintenance. Kyle how do you know its a life series? Can i get Spicer 1310 life series? Can i get Spicer 760 life series for my front axles???

The life series have the white seals on the cross sections. The caps will have an audible snap when they go into place. I believe they sell all of the sizes in life series - I've run 1310, 1350 and 1410 in that series anyway. Life series doesn't have any provision to add grease - because you don't have to.

This is the 1310 life series joint

I'll have to have Gabe update that section to include that joint by default.

I was able to order one and have it shipped for almost same cost as getting it local and pay tax, had to order either way.
thank you;)

Excellent! I'm glad they were able to help - we were out at SEMA during that time too, talk about dedication!
