That looks pretty solid. Does it give you vibration issues? I guess I need to look at a new one. Mines almost 14 years old and 145k miles. I found a new one for $105 online....... Here

Think it's just as good as an OEM one?

Thanks for your help.....
The last one that I replaced was an aftermarket one and it only lasted about six months. Then I went to a one-piece D-shaft for a few years. I am not saying that the aftermarket one was any better or any worse you have to remember that I do extreme wheeling. When I first put the pillow block bearing I did have, a vibration so since then I have rubber mounted it and it has helped but my truck sees very little road time.

Hendrix Motorsports has come out with an eliminator for it also:

[color:"blue"] Most drive-train combinations will require a two-piece front drive shaft. For this reason, Hendrix Motorsports developed a billet aluminum carrier bearing for use with Toyota two-piece drive shafts. $58.95 includes mounting hardware and snap ring (bearing not included[/color]
