Slip Yoke Lubing
Hi Guys,
Been a while since I have posted but here goes... A while back (probably a few years now) there was a article written on lubing of the drive line slip yoke to eliminate the "thunk" when accelerating froma a stop... The "thunking" is getting worse on my truck (2000 F-250SD), AAMOF, it's a "double thunk" now...
I had the article printed, but my puppy kind of ate a large part of it as it was sitting in the magazine rack on the floor
... Well, I need to lube that part of the drive train now... As I remember one was supposed to use some type of moly paste lubricant on the slip yoke assembly...
Can anyone point me to the article so I can print it again (puppy is big now and doesn't eat magazines anymore)

Ford also sells a can of Teflon grease especially made for lubing the drive shaft slip yokes. It works well.

Also if you don't want to buy a 1 lb can the part # for the 3oz tube is XG-8.
It's only $7.92 NOT $30.00!

After lubing the drive shaft slip yoke I still had the clunk.
I've noticed small leak from rear dif's seal.While changing it there was some loose on the rear dif's shaft going in and out about 1/8 inch.
Check that while working on your yoke and having drive shaft down.
Good luck
