Grease driveshaft
I read an article a while back showing how to grease the drive shaft and what types of grease to use. Of course now i cant find it so here is my question...what types of grease are used. I remember there was two different types one for the drive shaft and another type for the other side.

I used the same grease on both ends of the drive shaft. If you look carefully, you can find 4-5 grease points. My only challenge was - how much grease exactly to inject.
Decided to go with my gut feeling and just looked for grease coming out of the joints. If i saw grease starting to come out from little crevices...i stopped pumping with the gun and moved to the next grease point.
Very happy with the results. It's been 5-6k miles since i greased everything and the truck is very smooth and quiet. The driveshaft clunk is 99% gone.

I am pretty sure there are 6 zerk fittings. one each for front and rear driveline and one for each joint, 4 joints. i have used royal purples synthetic grease, drive lines get greased every 5000 miles, joints every 10,000.
