Arrow NEW VIDEO drive shaft not tight

In these 2 videos, the e brake and foot brake are applied throughout. I start both in Park and individually go through P-R-N-D-N-R-P. My camera is on the floor so you can see the truck doesn't move.

I'm thinking it could be a problem in the diff, or someone advised me it could simply be a lack of grease where the drive shaft goes into transmission.

The third video shows the movement I can get when it is in park with e brake on not running. I'm turning the drive shaft manually with my hands.

Thanks in advance for any replies

You dont need to make multiple threads of the same crap. Just grease the slip yoke.

Thanks for the advise, though the attitude isn't necessary.
I had no response on my last thread so I made better footage to explain the issue clearer

How many miles on the driveshaft (U-joint) bearings? Are they original? My opinion: start with the u-joints if they are more than 5 years old, have not been properly lubricated every 15,000 miles (if they have grease joints), or if they are original to the truck.
