noisey posi?

My 84 F150 3.55 posi the one with bolts on rear with stamperd steel inspection cover,seems to make a steady noise when under power(not coasting) Thinking maybe it might help to remove inspection cover clean it out as best possible then new lubricate.What would be a good lubricate to use in this?

have you changed your u joint in a while, mine did that then started vibrating then i got pissed at it one night w/ a girl in the truck "wouldnt let me go over 35, the truck was shaking so bad, so i dumped the clutch at a stoplight, and i heard clunking, so i walked a block to Autozone and got a new one and rented a 1/2 inch wrench and put it on and i was on my way. Remember, always repair before dating hot girls, especially in a redneck truck.

What kind of noise? I have had u-joints that made a steady noise while accelerating too. I cant imagine a posi would make noise going straight, around a turn maybe.
