86Supercab Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 Hello group! I ran into some trouble identifying what u-joints I needed for my 86 f250 The parts store told me there were three different sizes with several different combinations. While Gary has quite the encyclopedia of knowledge on our trucks, some part numbers either don’t cross check or just weren’t available. If you’re like me, you like to have everything to get the job done before you start taking stuff apart (especially if you’re working on your only vehicle). So, I thought I’d post up some information about two piece driveshafts, u joints and carrier bearings (aka center support bearing) that I’ve found on my truck in hopes that it may be of some help to others, if you haves similar setup. This is the setup on my truck: • 1986 f-250 heavy duty • 4x4 supercab long bed 155” wheelbase • engine 460ci ~ 7.5L • transmission T-19 4spd manual • Transfer case Borg Warner 1345 • rear axle 3.55 ford semi floating 10.25” limited slip • front axle 3.54 Dana 50 TTB 9” ring • Two piece rear drive shaft Ford# E4TA 17 BA Spicer 1330 or 1310 (?) • U-joints (rear shaft) transfer case (front)&(rear) differential ACDelco# - 45U0105 GM# - 89029287 • slip yoke (center) u-joint ACDelco# - 45U0106 GM# - 89029288 • slip yoke dust cap - 1-3/8” • carrier bearing/center support bearing for Dana Spicer 1310 or 1330 yoke Timken# - HB-88107-A 35mm 1.378 in. bore, 6.624 in. width, 2.000 in. o.d., 2.280 in. race.

Gary Lewis Posted December 11, 2018 Share Posted December 11, 2018 That's a really good list! And, other than the Dana 50 in front, it is a perfect match for Big Blue. So, I'll be able to use that info. Thanks! So, how did you figure all of that out? Last I knew it was the carrier bearing that was elusive.

I purposely bought greaseable u joints thinking that they would last longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Supercab Posted December 11, 2018 Author Share Posted December 11, 2018 I wish I had read this before. I purposely bought greaseable u joints thinking that they would last longer I found almost all the information for my truck here At Gary’s. I found the ujoint information just by cross referencing the part numbers. I actually took an educated guess and got lucky when I bought the ujoints.
