Well about 1 month after I let my step-dad drive my truck and him blowing my U-joint I am still having problems. My driveline keeps coming loose. I am getting sick of it. What should I do?
Thanks
Adam
 
Do you have the strap or u-bolt style u-joint retainers? My guess is that one of these is warped. They're too cheap not to replace them. Just be sure not to torque the u-bolt style retainers too much (no more than 20 ft. lbs.) because it will distort the u-joint cap and wear it out prematurely.
