I know there must be one out two of us. I have a 1999 2WD Ext Cab long bed with two piece driveshaft. I am getting a little clunking sound at speed when I let of the power and the then apply power. I inspected the driveline and lubed the slip joint. U joints and Carrier bearing seem fine. The only slop I feel is where the front yoke goes into the transmission. If I push up and down I can just feel a little play. I was wondering what's normal?

 

Where do you feel the play? Is it in the output shaft of the transmission? At the slip joint? At the u joint? Is the play up and down, side to side, in and out?

 

Where the front splined yoke slides onto the splined shaft of the transmisson. Up and down can't remember side to side..

 

Pack it full of grease. If it doesn't stop. Replace the U-Joint.

 

The movement is independent of the u joint and in the splined yoke.... I was just wondering if there is some normal slop or is any slop out of specs...
