I also spent 20 minutes cleaning up the yoke that came on my new axle, just to find that one of the tabs that keeps the u-joint caps from walking out was broken off. I know from experience that those tabs are there for a reason! I also know that several layers of duct tape around the u-joint works just as well as those tabs! But this isn't that kind of project, so I will be getting a new yoke. It looks like I paid $50 for nothing but a housing.

You don't need duct tape for that; I saw a Bud Light can in one of your pictures. We always used beer cans for that.

Looks like you have a pretty nice truck. It will still be there when you are ready, and you can drive it like it is. The brighter side is that you are not making a payment on your HD.
