Need u joints- what could happen

[YAKFSHR]

if they are not changed right away.

[Desert Beast]

you could grenade one and thats not fun. if you grenade one, it very well could mess up the yokes.

Or worse, like the rear driveshaft front u-joint breaking, dropping down, and KAPOW!!! Pole vault. Not likely, but I saw it on T.V. once. U-joints are probably about $20 odd each, and aren't that hard to do.

If the double-cardan joint goes out, the driveshaft whipping around can take out your tranny; literally, I mean it whips around and takes chunks out of your tranny case.

Yeah everything everyone else said. I would not test fate.

u-joints at Napa are $8.77 give or take depending on taxes in your area, and the fix is one banana...I had to do this Saturday.

Or it breaks and comes up through the floor and into the cab.
