Yep! Heat is the only way I have found to get original GM u-joints broken loose. Thanks for the video! There is only one other video I have found but they are doing it at a shop with professional everything. This is perfect for people at home.
I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado.. a 1995 Chevy S10 and a 1985 Oldsmobile wagon. I was working on changing the U-joints on the Olds wagon and it also has the plastic injected retainer ring on U-joints too just like your Tahoo.... so GM obviously been using the plastic injected method for a long time as far back as 1985.
Yes, the wheels will be free to roll, apply the parking brake or jack the car completely off the ground using 4 Jack stands. But be mindful the wheels will be free to roll especially if you are removing the rear driveshaft so be careful!!!!
I need help with replacing which u joints to my 03 silverado 1500 5.3 that came with that plastic that I took off. Now I need to know what on earth to put in there cause no local store knows anything.
Thank you for showing me the correct process nobody else showed this kind of U-joint
A shop here in North Carolina was trying to charge me $250 just to change my u-joints. I’m so happy I came a cross your video. Thanks bro 😎

Yeah I know of 90's Trucks having plastic retainers but I had know ideal as far back as mid 80's thanks for that bit of info.
Did you have a problem with installing replacement u joints ? Where do clips attach?
Clean and concise. Nice work Sir, thanks.
Is that the 4x4 short drive shaft or the one from transmission to the rear end
Good review for the job and a heads up on the plastic.
Is the main drive shift the same way.
Yes, it is
What are those clamps and bolts called
Rookie question here, when you remove the driveshaft does the car go into neutral? meaning that will it roll? My driveway is on an incline...

@@Bryan916 thank you
Very well explained. Thank you!
What size socket?
Do I replace the plastic retainers?? If so where do I get them
No, You will use metal retainers that come with the new U-joints refer to @10:38
@@Bryan916it doesn’t say what type of ujoints u used
Great work man, hanks for the video.
Thank you so much man you are the man
That truck is clean
Did you lift the Tahoe to remove rear drive shaft or did you just chock the back wheels?
I would advise you lift all 4 wheels off the ground!
Mine doesn't have any holes in my 2003 GMC Sonoma 4WD.
