You sure your yokes are good. I'm betting there is another issue involved here, geometry or yokes would be a good bet.

Pretty difficult to kill a 1410.

It's at a pretty bad angle but there's no way around it I killed 2 non grease ables and not breaking then burning em up

Its on a rockwell, right? how could the angle be that bad?

No 14 bolts sold the Rockwell rig

If using u-bolts don't over tighten them :****:

Oh, haha, went from one extreme to the other in terms of pinion location.

Well, for what its worth I use $15 Brute Force brand 1410's and I actually recycled many of them from my previous rig to my current rig. I don't think that's going to fix your issue though.

Something else is going on. The Spicer life series (non greasable) are easily the best I've found. There's really no aftermarket alternative because the Spicer ones are so tough. They should be lasting you years.

Burnt up joints are due to the caps not rotating freely (ubolt too tight) or moving too much (driveline angles)

Sorry to derail, but how tight is tight enuf and not to tight?? This sounds like Somthing I would very easily do!! I feel like mine will back out if not pretty tight. :dunno:

12-18 ft lbs would be about right I'd guess... With multiple cross checks to make sure the pressure is evenly applied

Just found this: http://www.randysdriveshaft.com/torque.html

I've been going as tight as I can with a 1/4" drive ratchet.
