I saw a post that said our u-joints are the same as Spicer 1310s. Anyone know for sure if this is true?

Anyone use High Angle Driveline or Driveshaft Superstore for a mail order drive shaft?

91' Hardbody V6 4wd.

Thanks

Update: In the instructions for the Calmini SYE, bottom of second page, is a note that states "The OEM Nissan U-joints are Spicer 1310." I would still like to know if anyone has ever tried installing a Spicer 1310 u-joint on their stock drive shaft. I've got spare u-joints that I purchased from Napa but I don't know if they are the same as 1310s.

Take it into NAPA and have them pull a 1310 U joint from the back and compare the two. I do that all the time with parts.

I seem to remember comparing John's front driveshaft ujoints with a 1310. same size caps, but a MUCH larger cross on the 1310s. Never looked at the rear driveshaft though.

If you go to napa and request a Ujoint for your truck, it comes in a spicer box with the number 1310 on it. I think that tears it.

Not all are 1310, there are 2 types used.

The front driveshaft has the smaller cross with the 1310 caps.. The rear uses much larger U joints.. they appear to be identical to 1310s.

When I ordered my 1 ton CV front driveshaft thru Driveshaft Superstore...we were both pleasantly surprised that Nissan did use all Dana Spicer drivetrain components!!!! I'm pretty sure both (front ds & rear ds) of our u-joints are 1310s, at least I know 100% sure that the front DS t-case output is!!!!! Later...

I went by the local NAPA store on the way home from work and asked for a Spicer 1310 series U-joint. Of course they don't carry Spicer but they gave me the NAPA equivilant. Kind of funny, the box is marked :210-015 in big numbers and in little numbers 369. The spares I bought from NAPA before for my rear driveshaft are labeled 369 in large numbers and 210-0153 in small numbers. Same parts and same bar code. I didn't remember to ask about the front driveshaft u-joints.

As far as I know, NAPA sells Spicer drivetrain parts under their own name. That's what the local NAPA claims, anyway.

Just in case noone believed me about the part of Dana Corp. making Nissan's front and rear driveshafts...here's the proof....just in case.... :
