How do i disconnect the drive shaft and get to the slip yoke?
Can someone provide some insight or a link to a how-to to disconnect the drive shaft or how to gain access and grease the slip yoke?
i searched pretty extensively, but didnt find much.
im pretty that this is causing my jerking and delay when taking off from a stop.
thanks!

Yep, it's time for a repair manual at your local parts store. About $25.00. And they have pictures, plus many other repairs for the "do it yourself-er"
With all due respect, and at the chance of being accused as being sarcastic (again), when you reach this level of repair, you gotta move forth and buy a repair manual.

I'll be doing the same myself soon (see my "transmission slack" thread). Here's the closest directions I've found. They're for a superduty, but should be close:

I"m trying to figure out why this lack of grease would case a clunk? Is it binding at take off getting the driveshaft all cattywhompus and then slipping all of a sudden back straight thus making a clunk?

"Slip bump is a good name for it.
What I have found is the splines in the slip yoke of the driveshaft have some friction as torque is applied, which resists sliding of the splines.
During takeoff, the rear axle rotates slightly, and actually moves foreward under the truck as it is pulling the truck foreward.
The resistance to slippage is finally overcome by power, or less resistance as the truck body moves, and the splines suddenly move, allowing the driveshaft to shorten.
Pulling the driveshaft slip yoke out, and liberally lubricating the splines will help. You may need to do it occasionally, when the bump comes back."
