I think WY and ND have western NE beat...but not by much
Been a while since I've been through WY but I do remember it being brutally boring as well. ND is kinda neat, you can watch your dog run away for a week!

FLAMING RIVER MOD COMPLETE
Deleted the rag joint today. Pretty straight forward, operates smooth. Deleted the plastic shroud, we will see if the snow and ice build up around the joint, may have to figure out some protection for it.www.gmt400.com
Also... This one has the u-joint to buy in it... “joint 1”DD x 3/4”-30”
Rag Joint Eliminator for 96+?
has anyone with a 98 done the flaming river mod the more research i do the more i question myself this person says it will work the next says it will bind i want to know if someone deffinitly knows it works or not Ive done the flaming river mod. Huge difference, no more steering slop, no...
Doh! So early trucks had zero joints plus a rag and the newer ones have 1 joint plus a rag? I was told when I purchased the aluminum discs that they were intended for shafts with 2 joints plus a rag. Seems I misunderstood.
I put the Cunningham version on a 99... easy job... great upgrade
The shaft thing confuses me too, my 97 has a bell shaped joint at the bottom of the column, inside the firewall and a rag joint at the steering gear. The older trucks I’ve noticed have the bell shaped joint in the engine bay and a rag joint at the steering gear.

Ahh, so a joint isn't added, it's merely moved. That makes more sense. So the puck would work with a Jeep shaft on a late truck then.

I'm Awesome
I'm going to be helping my nephew move from Chicago to Grants Pass in a couple of weeks and I'm considering going through ND instead of WY. I've done that I80 so many times. It is either nothing or corn FOREVER!
Maybe in Theory, but I still wouldn't run that puck, there's nothing to catch it if it fails. The factory rubber has a steel cage to keep the two halves connected if/when the rubber fails

Nothing to catch a failed Borgeson joint either. I bought my Camaro with one of these pucks back in 2013, I have no reason to not trust it in the proper application. It seems however that this is not that.
Hey there's cows out here too lol
