With the truck on a flat surface grab the drive shaft right by each universal joint And push, pull, and try to go in a circular motion with the driveshaft. If the joint is bad you'll see it move around inside of its caps. BUT the joint can be dry and just squeaking when you leave a stop sign and be tight when you try to wiggle them.
