Mind if I ask what prompted you to change them? Wear and tear or were you having issues?

Careful with those u-joint strap bolts. The strap kits are cheap, and Spicer (I'm assuming you have an SPL250 u joint) says to replace them whenever they are removed. I had my driveshaft out once for balancing, and I instructed them to replace them...they cleaned them up and put the old ones back on. Driveshaft came loose in my driveway. Bolt heads came off. Talk about luck! I just drove it 50 miles home!

Needless to say, I was happy and pissed at the same time.

How does it feel now?

I changed them because of wear and tear, one was loose and the other cracked in half. Thank you for the axel info, going to order a strap kit now! Does anyone know a good place to find Kenworth torque and service information? I took the radiator out this Thursday and will be putting it back on Tuesday. I am worried about bolt torque, importantly the fan shroud because it’s fiberglass. If not does anyone know of a good bolt size torque guide?
