T.S.B is only a guide to help the technician diagnose the truck it also means they have usually an updates part for your concern...
T.S.B's are not a recall or do not carry any type of extended coverage. basically your on your own...
Goodluck

that tsb is not for driveshaft replacement it is to lube the slip yoke. are you feeling a punch or delayed kick while you accel.

you need to remove the driveshaft cut the clamp on the rubber boot for the yoke mark the postion of the two pieces so they can be reinstalled in the same position to eliminate any vibration issues after your repair
when you seperate the driveshaft yoke you will need to get some teflon grease and spread it on the splines, don't be selfish with the grease don't get it into the reciever part of the shaft or you will not get the two pieces back together because of the grease causing suction
that should take care of your concern

good luck let me know how it works for you

• DRIVESHAFT SLIP-BUMP ON DECELERATION OR ACCELERATION FROM A STOP

Publication Date: December 21, 2005
FORD:
2004-2005 F-150LINCOLN:
2006 Mark LT

ISSUE:

Some 4x4 2004-2005 F-150 (excluding Heritage) and 2006 Lincoln Mark LT vehicles build prior to 7/1/2005 may exhibit a rear driveshaft slip-bump concern on deceleration or acceleration from stops.
ACTION:

This condition can be attributable to the slip yoke of the rear driveshaft having not been lubed when the vehicle was built or wear/flaking of the spline nickel coating. Refer to the Service Procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Remove the rear driveshaft per Workshop Manual Section 205-01. Be sure to index-mark the driveshaft during removal to maintain alignment during reinstallation.
2. Inspect the rear driveshaft slip yoke for the presence of grease. If no grease is present proceed to step "a" If grease is present proceed to step "b".
   1. If the splines of the slip yoke are dry, but do not show any signs of wear, nickel coating flaking, or contamination, then apply 8 mL (0.27 oz.) of the new slip yoke grease, distributing it evenly around the bore. If flaking is found, then REPLACE the rear driveshaft.
      NOTE:EACH SYRINGE CONTAINS ENOUGH GREASE FOR 1 SLIP YOKE, THE PART NUMBER IS FOR ONE APPLICATION.
   2. If grease is present, inspect the driveshaft for signs of nickel coating flaking. Flaking can be found by inserting a clean rag into the yoke, wiping the spline surface and then looking for nickel "glitter". If flaking is found, then REPLACE the driveshaft.
      NOTE:FLAKING/GLITTER WILL BE VERY SMALL PARTICLES IN THE GREASE ON THE RAG
3. Re-index and install the driveshaft per Workshop Manual.
