Is there a grease nipple on the shaft, or do you have to disassemble it for periodic maintenance?

$525 gets you a new driveshaft and ujoints! hopefully it fixes the problem.

when do they think you will have it back?

It takes about 20 minutes to remove the shaft and grease the splines, I did this before starting the trip out east. Which is why it doesn't make much sense how this could have happened...it was greased up less than 5,000 miles ago!

She tells me it will take them a couple of days, so I'm hoping I can pick it up Friday. That new F150 is looking pretty darn good right now...

I'm so glad for my self lubing slip yoke.
It lasted me over 300,000 miles.
