I did the u joints about 3 days after I got the truck. He said he did 1 already but it still had vibration.

What nitwit replaced the straps with those funky u-joint looking things? The yoke is supposed to have a strap that goes from one bolt hole to another, and is secured by bolts, not a u-joint going THROUGH the hole, and bolted in the back side. ANother good reason for the new yoke- some yeah-hoo likely stripped the threads, and did that cobble-up to fix it.

Well they are stronger than the U-Joint, good enough for me ;)
