There are 2 ways to remove the driveline at the yoke. After removing the rubber boot:
(1) Remove the bolts at the rear diff and pull out the shaft
or
(2) at the carrier beaing and just move it laterally until it separates.
Grease the slip yoke, bolt it back up, and re-install the boot with a stay-tie or similar clamp and you're good to go.

I'm suprised anyone remembers that!!! I still get cold feet when it comes to getting under the truck after that incident.. My 5 year old daughter still comes up to me sometimes and says "Daddy, remember when I was outside playing, and your truck ran over you?!!!"
Still sends shivers down my spine...

Hi Bryan, we have all made some _______ mistakes! I'm included in them too!!!!!!!!
Like droping a screw down the intake of a 460 while running. or starting the truck with the timing light cord in the way of the fan blades! ouch!
So safety has been one of my pet pieve's as we try to help each other around the country.
Good to hear from you !

Kinda interesting that I came here to ask about how to find where the "slop" is in a driveline, and this thread was on top. I read about the clunk and was wondering if I have the same prob. I can feel the slop when I stop and go. My first thought is the rear differential gear wear. Is there a way to narrow it down to where it is at?
If I jack up the rear end, put it in drive, and try to move the driveshaft or wheels, will that tell me anything? Thanks.

What year model and how many miles?
ON EDIT: Your sig says '99 model - it needs the slip joint grease I would think.
