Question 1

Are these correct for a 2003 silverado 1500 z71 ext cab 6.5' bed alum. driveline? need both for front & rear.

Accepted Answer

Dana/Spicer U-Joint part number 5-793x is a 1330 Series X 3R/S44 Series Conversion U-Joint. Based on the application given of a 2003 (Chevy) Silverado 1500 z71, Ext Cab, 6.5' bed with an Aluminum Driveshaft, the 5-793x will only fit at the Rear Axle, it will not fit at the Transmission. The correct Dana/Spicer U-Joint for an Aluminum Driveshaft that would fit at the Transmission for this application would be part number 5-3614x.

Question 2

Will this sit in the rear yoke straps tight? I think i ordered wrong u joint the straps will not tighten on caps. Does the inside clamp act as a shim

Accepted Answer

A Dana/Spicer u-joint Strap kit when installed the strap does not "clamp" down around the entire top half of the u-joint cap. When a Dana/Spicer strap kit is installed the strap when looking from a side view will clamp down on the u-joint cap at about the 10-o'clock and 2- o'clock positions, to where if you look at the top of the u-joint cap from a side view there will be a slight gap between the top of the u-joint cap and strap.

Question 3

Will it fit a '99 (nbs) silverado ext cab short bed with a 9.5" differential (at the differential?)

Accepted Answer

Based on the application information given of 1999 (Chevy) Silverado, Ext Cab, Short Bed, with 9.5 differential, Dana/Spicer U-Joint part number 5-793x might fit this application at the Rear Axle/differential. We say might because in order for us to verify this we need to know if this Silverado is a 1500 or 2500, and we need to know is this Silverado  4WD or RWD/2WD ?

Question 4

Is this supposed to fit a 2wd 2002 Sierra? I got a yes before buying and now after getting the old u joint out, the new one sits loose

Accepted Answer

Based on the application information given of a 2002 Sierra 2wd, Dana/Spicer U-Joint part number 5-793x might fit this application/vehicle, we say might because we need more application information. We can tell you the 5-793x U-Joint would only be used at the Rear Axle, it will not fit at the Transmission Slip Yoke end of the Driveshaft in any application. In order for us to tell you if the 5-793x does in fact fit this 2002 GMC Sierra we need to know the following: Is this a 1500 or 1500HD, if it is a 1500HD with rear steer, 2500, or 3500 the 5-793x will not fit at all. We also need to know what engine is in this truck, if this truck has a regular or extended cab, if it has a short bed or long bed and does this truck have an Automatic or Manual Transmission
