Slip joint greasin...
I was going to regrease my slip yoke tonight and after looking at the thread for this, i realized than my driveshaft is different. It shows taking the driveshaft loose at the rear diff...mine can not be removed there. about three feet up i have a u joint that can be removed and about a foot back from that is my boot to disassemble. does anyone else have this and is it okay to undo the joint there.....

Hey Jamie what year is your truck ?
I have a 97 F 250 and when i take off mine seems to slip alittle Mine seems to wanna slip more going into 2 gear (automatic i guess u would say 2nd gear)
I wonder if mine needs this and would solve my problem. Mine dont seem to slip all the time just if i go real slow

It would not hurt to try..it felt like mine was doing the same thing and i just drove it and it fixed it...Very nice to drive now.
If i felt alittle better about my tapping skills i would but now that i know how to do it....five minute job...if you are thinking about doing this do it...well worth it..

My next question was gonna be. the only work that i have ever done on a car or truck is on this truck and it was a tune up. I just broke the lines on my fuel filter now i have to find a way to fix that. How hard is this gonna be for a beginner like me.
Thanks

Although my truck is a 97 it seems like most of the things are alot alike.

Do pay attention to the alignment of things and have a cable tie handy to use in place of the factory clamp. Also make sure you don't pull the caps off the u-joint and spray needle bearings all over the place!
Check out my write-up above if you haven't already. It shows quite a few pics of the process on a SD... it should be similar to yours. Here's another guy's writeup for a different driveshaft configuration on a SD that might be helpful for your application.
