Default How many miles did you get on your universal joints?

I have a 2001 Blazer RWD with low miles that I bought this past summer.
After a lot of work I pretty much have it sorted out and it is ready for it's new life. All I have left to do is change all the battery cables because the ends are corroded. (Already bought the AC Delco cables)


That said, my driveshaft looks very good. However, I always like to change things before they go bad. (I hate that I can't grease them) So I want to plan for the future.

How many miles did you get on your original universal joints before they needed to be replaced?


Thanks in advance for all posts.
