its already got one. but..without a cap, the grease pumps right out the end:looser:
i dont know if it was SUPPOSED to have one, and they forgot it. or they normally come without.:eeek:
but it HAS to be there, or you cant grease the splines.

PITA to change the U-joints too with them welded in, if theyre still doing that. Once you change it, you have to weld the new one in too since the fit isnt a tight enough press fit, which is why they did that. Just FYI.
I went with Marlin (same as All-Pros), and its working so far. Nice quality press fit joint too. The Marlin/All-Pro unit doesnt even come with a zerk fitting for the splines. Most people that I asked about it said they just grease them from the outside, or take it apart and do it. I run mine without the dust shield thing and just grease it from the outside.

I bent my Marlin slip within 2 trips right where it necks down and then gets big to mate to the tube.
I bought the big course 10 spline stuff and some Female couplings from Hi Angle and beated the hell out of them ever since.
i just checked it, its def not welded. it looks to be a very nice, strong piece, and has full circlips. ALOT heavier than the OE stuff.
i'll be putting it on tonight:cheer:
question...i havent checked..but does anyone know if the OE cap will work with the TG DL?
if not, what are you using to cap the end? im sure i can make a cap, but if theres something out there that works, or the OE stuff works, thatd be alot easier.

Sounds good, they must have changed it, thats awesome.

EDIT: Just went to their site. They are in fact advertising them as being held in with clips now. You can see the old tack welds on the far right U-Joint caps in this picture from their site under the new pictures

Can't ya just get a freeze plug to fill the hole? Tack or peen it into place......
thats a great idea. i think i can probably make something like that work.:awesomework:
the yoke on that side is long, so id have no problem putting a cap in there, and welding it in place.
