X2! Million... You can't check ujoints correctly while they are in the truck... Especially on the ground with force from the drivetrain being in park, even if they were loose you wouldn't be able to move them like that and if they were frozen you wouldn't be able to feel it...

The only good way to check em is to block the tires, remove 4bolts and the shaft... Takes 2min
