Would like some advice from experienced dually 6.5L dually owners or past owners….well I’m getting excited about finally experiencing a real truck. I haven’t tried to start my truck in about six months and to my surprise it fired right up, well in the past it took about two or three battery charges to get fuel to the IP, so I pulled the gp and loosen the injectors thinking it would be less work on the battery and bam the first crank I smelled diesel…so in the past there was always a fuel pressure leak and thanks to a lot of help on this forum problem solved. So I’m moving forward in phases starting from hb and pulley and cross over now waiting on delivery of front pulley drive components so I will have water pump alternator vp ps,ect that should be here early next week…. So what would be helpful is drive shaft components, I’ve looked on rock auto and overwhelmed at the choices…2 piece driveshaft and carrier bearing so 3 universal joints… where I am at now Colorado high plains have a mile and half of washboard dirt road before paved and a lot of up and down two lane roads, so would be a lot of abuse ( rear wheel drive) also need to make 1 or 2 trips to Illinois with 16’ enclosed trailer. So would like help on choosing drive train for the conditions. Sorry for the long post but I’m relieved the starting issue seems to be solved. Thanks….Mr Marty 51 nice scooter pics we have a lot in common panran51.
 
Never had it on the road…except to tow it to Colorado and unattached the driveshaft. The rear universal joint was froze up. So looking on rock auto there was a huge selection and could use some recommendations.
