10-4 Grit dog, thanks for the help. You are 100% correct & when I did the grease a couple of days ago I did just that. Thought needle was in & couple of pumps & checked & grease all over u-joint but glob did not drop on my shirt. Still had to clean it up. I also found the free blue lite from Harbor Freight with the magnet works well, but still need the shop light.
I agree the newer trucks with the front drive shaft that dis-engages should not need greased near as much. I probably don't have 500 miles in 4wd but the shaft spins constantly.
blofgren I have moved the skid plate also. I think there are 4 bolts & remove 3 & loosen 1 & you can swing the plate out of the way. It does give you a little more room.
