Replacing a U-joint in a 1999 Chevy S-10 4x4

Here is a video of the replacement of a U-Joint in my 1999 Chevy S-10 4x4.

Shot over two days (due to a defective new part), it shows the removal of the driveshaft, inspection of the joints, how to remove a u-joint, and installing a new one.

One error, when I am reinstalling the drive shaft, I say ball joint, I mean u-joint.

Feel free to leave any questions or comments. Enjoy.

if my u joint has some side to side play then does it just mean i need to grease it?

@Arturaz1 Is there is play, it probably is worn/rusted and needs to be replaced.

I had a question my 98 chevy the lights flicker wen im idling and wen i rev the motor they go bright and then dim i had the starter and battery and alternator checked and they turned out fine do u have any clue? Help please lol

[Turbo231]

@gertrudehiggles They didn't check the alternator correctly, seems you're having voltage regulation problems.

I had a question? I got a 98 s-10 2wd is it pretty much the same or not

[Turbo231]

@gertrudehiggles Identical...same falls for all RWD or 4WD GM cars and trucks using U-Joints.

This was a great video, man. Just tore into my 2000 S-10 2WD yesterday. Saw the little nylon nubs sticking up, but had no idea about burning them out until I watched your vid this morning. Thanks for the info! Will be posting my own (train wreck) video soon.
