Oh man, more money! I gotta say, I wouldn't know the difference between a good and a cheap u-joint, but I'll look into what the normal resellers sell, I'll search Borgeson too. I'm a bit frustrated as I finally got the truck on the road for the summer and I decide to dive into this issue, which took it right off the road again.

At least at this point I haven't cut anything so I can decide to button it back up and fix it later. Irony is purchasing the steering column for $600 but still needing that mast jacket bearing for $25 for that mod. I can opt to install the bearing at the steering wheel end for now and re-use it down the road for this steering mod.
