I had a '97 F-150 that I took to Ford over and over for what they said was a slip joint problem. It turned out to be motor mounts. Once those were repaired, my problem went away. Just a thought.

slip yoke

I have replace the slip yoke itself on a truck that keep coming back for the same problem. Havn't heard from him. Nobody really seems to have a answer for this problem even ford. There have been a number of people on here who have this problem.

G-rod24 The slip yoke is the part that slides into the back of the transmission extension housing. Its job is to allow the drive shaft to slide in and out of the trans
as you accellerate and decel. What happens is when it gets older it doesn't slide in and out smoothly and you will feel a shudder as it moves on the splines of the output shaft.

Yeah HECK!!! I tried 3 differents grease myself without FOrd help...

I m going to use waterproof grease that is for boat/trailer and see what will happen soon.

I used CV grease that 4.6Ranger suggested and it last ALMOST 2 month ( i dont remember excalty the lenght)..

How about shim kit to correct angle driveshaft 1* or 2* ?? I believe theres TSB for it.
