I have the dreaded clunk and I am going to grease my slip yoke this weekend if I can find the time. I don't have a problem removing the driveshaft but I want to make sure I'm greasing the slip yoke correctly. Does anybody have a picture of where to grease the slip yoke? Inside or outside of the yoke? I know this has been beat to death but I've searched and can't find a picture, so if anybody has a picture or a link to a thread with a picture, it would be appreciated.

I'm going to use the Valvoline Grease that I found at autozone that says it meets GM specs on their grease and it says it's forumulated for all GM vehicles. Is it ok to use this grease?

Is this the same clunk that a guy might hear when making a few consecutive shifts between reverse and drive, usually when making a 2 or 3 point turn? The clunk happens as soon as the transmission shifts, even with my foot still on the brake. Sounds like it's coming from the middle to rear part of the truck, like slack somewhere in the drivetrain...

I have the same noise / question. Is what 'mobiusdog' is describing what you guys are out to cure or some other scenario with a 'clunk'. Thanks for any additional insight.
