MNTrailBoss May 8th, 07, 5:30 PM Is there any thing stronger with the same dimensions as the 1310 ujoint? Wouldn't it be a bit stronger even if there was no grease fitting/machining? Or is the yoke already the weak spot above the 1310 limits? Thanks, Mike Feudo May 8th, 07, 5:54 PM The 1310 without the grease fitting is stronger. They made a heavy duty joint that actually wasn't too bad (I couldn't break one) But I don't know if they still do.

What exactly were you hitting the joint with? Mike Feudo May 8th, 07, 11:39 PM 4000lb 55 wagon 10.90s with a 427, 57 Olds rear and a Muncie (many Muncies). I never broke the u-joint but sure broke everything else in the drivetrain.
