Default 04 Driveshaft

When I go to reverse and then place in drive and go forward, I have a slight bump in the driveline, feels likes its coming from the rear of the truck. I just replaced fluids in diff with new Mobil 1 and friction modifier and all looked well. I think I may have a u-joint going out. Have not had a chance to inspect the driveshaft for play yet.

I have read and looked at my u-joint and realize I have the dreaded "staked" universal joints. The only way to get them out is to somehow get a hole saw type thing and cut the stakes out. and replace with clips since the grooves are still there OR get a whole new costly driveshaft....that is IF this is the issue....

Is Ford the only place to buy one, I couldnt find one on Advance's website

appreciate it! Looks like greasing it only lasts for a little bit, the best thing to do is replace, and I bet Ford is the only place that has it
