If you're doing a lot of suspension articulation ( like off-roading ) its logical that the grease would be getting plungerered out sooner, and replaced by ATF. I've used this stuff in all kinds of applications from engine assy to pins/bushings on the farm equipment and it's really good. It's like green molasses and clings like crazy. If you're willing to gamble $8 on a new attempt, I recommend it. O'Reillys usually stocks it and I think Auto Zone does too. Lucas Assembly Lube (I'd previously mis-identified it as Amsoil).

Sorry, the picture is huge and not real sharp but I'm IT challenged.

It's good enough though. $8 isn't a gamble if it helps. What I'm not looking forward to is cleaning off the splines. I can imagine that the Lucas grease and PTFE might not mix well (?)
Thanks for the recommendation!

You could just JB Weld it. It would stop the clunk. Might ride a little stiff though.....

There's 10,000 "comedians" out of work in this state, and you're trying to be funny?

PerryB: Sadly I don't notice a difference. I did my last "maintenance" about a month ago with Ford Blue PTFE. I decided to just empty the entire tube into the yoke end. I did make things feel better for a longer period of time, but I think I'm starting to feel it again. This is really stupid. 
I'm starting to wonder something though. When we pull the driveshaft, there's an ounce or so of tranny/TC fluid that comes out. I'm wondering if it isn't bypassing the inner TC seal and diluting the PTFE lubrication (?). FWIW, I always ramp the back end of the truck to pull the driveshaft so the tranny/TC fluid doesn't leak out. Just a thought here. But I'm thinking that there's something else contributing to this issue...
