Looks like you'll be running gears instead of chain 
Gave the 22r a good clean and a few new gaskets.

Sealed u-joints are that... sealed. You won't get moisture in them and theoretically last longer than greasable... if not the life of the vehicle.

New peterbuilts have greaseable ujoints but the warranty is void if you grease them within the first 150,000km. lol
Sealed and greaseable have there places. Depends, I am lazy so I like sealed but on my big truck I like greaseable.
