If memory serves, there is a page in the tech section accessible from the home page that lists several cross-reference part numbers...
Napa 344 or 369 depending upon the vintage. IIRC, 510-0253 works also, but I encourage confirmation as these are off the top of my head on an early Saturday morning.

That's upsetting as the 344s are supposed to be American made Precisions whereas the 510-0253 are supposed to be NEAPCOs.
If you go to NAPA and ask for 344's they give you shit Japanese made GMB's. These don't last but for a few thousand miles.
Go to Autozone and get the pdq1-0005. These are US made Neapco u-joints with the zerk fitting on the end cap. $14.98 each. They are virtually identicle to the old Spicer u-joints before they were made else where. Now I don't even know if you can get them any more.
Asking for Precisions at a parts store is risky. I've brought a few back that are made in China.
You can get real Precision 344's at www.Rockauto.com.

O'Riely's and Car Quest are still selling USA 344s. I have bought several in the last few months.

I knew the grandson of the guy who started Precision when I was in college. It was very disturbing to me when his father sold the company and quality went away.
It was GMBs that I had that only lasted about 100 miles! I haven't been real impressed with the Neapcos either. Ever since Dana pulled out of Fort Wayne, it hasn't been the same, almost as bad as when Harvester shut down. I guess they are still making some axles here, but it's not like it was.
Waynesboro Va. Advanced Auto 4/3/09. Parts guy couldn't find u-joint by vehicle make and model (Glad i searched here first). Told him to search for PDQ1-0005, he says "oh yeah we got those and their made in China", i say maybe not and i'll take the gamble. Long story short (too late) went and picked them up today and found all four to be stamped U.S.A. on the cross, zerks on the cap.So then i says "SCORE". $11.99 ea., receipt says they came out of Roanoke Distribution Center. If these are the ones your looking for, this might be a lead to a last stockpile of US ones. I 'll look into buying and shipping at cost if anybody is dead set on the US Neapcos, just let me know if interested, or just go direct with them.
Thanks Pony Hater, i caught a glimpse of that ealier but was too zoned in on u-joint part numbers to notice all the other info, good reading
Easy fella, things escalate quick round here. dont need this thread dragged down by sarcasm. if not sarcasm then i apoligize, for you i'll ship for $200 ( each joint )sorry ,price of doing buisness and allquick128 said:
