: My 29 PU is leaking a considerable amount of trans oil from the center of the first u-joint.I have not taken it apart yet, any suggestions before I start?
: As always, Thanks in advance.

Jim, it is probably coming through the transmission at the rear bearing.You will probably be better off with the new sealed bearing instead of the oil baffle (assuming that you are using a heavy enough oil.)Lastly, be sure to check the fluid level in the differential as all that oil is not going on the garage floor .. . some of it is probably running down into the differential where it will eventually show up on your tires and brakes.
