Dang, I realized that I'd misspelled Giubo (as Guibo) on that other thread, after it was too late to edit. That thread includes background on the doo-hickey, including pronunciation... which I find interesting. It's spoken as joo-bo, named after a guy whose nationality I don't recall (Italian maybe?). I have to remember the spelling and pronunciation by recalling a Hungarian friend named Giulio, spelled in other languages as Julio.
Giubo Cracking Hidden Topic
Hidden in 'Highest Mileage Transits' thread is an interesting topic about cracked flexible connections on Transit drive shaft called a Giubo. These rubber joints are apparently showing cracks at low mileages often enough that replacements are out of stock. Some Transit owners report issues getting dealers to replace under warranty. This topic kind of hijacked the thread & IMO deserves its own thread.
One thing I didn't see reported was a case where the Giubo actually failed.
