Name that Driveline Problem!!

The truck is an 06 250 crew cab shortbed. I have what I would call a clunk in my driveline somewhere. It has been somewhat tiny for the last few thousand miles, but Friday it has become very evident. When you are coming to a stop, as soon as it comes to a complete stop I can feel a clunk. When you go to take off, as soon as you let your foot off the brake it will clunk, and as soon as you put your foot on the gas and take off it will clunk. It doesn't do it under any other driving conditions. There is no whining or howling from the rear end and there is plenty of fluid in it even though i have a weep from the pinion. I have checked all the u-joints and engine and tranny mounts so now I guess the rear end internals are to blame. Anyone ever had this happen or have any idea what it could be?

The slip joint has dry splines. Take the two piece shaft apart and grease the splines.

I greased the slip joint two months ago. Is it possible it needs it now too?
