From what i`ve read there is a nickel plated slip yolk that solves the problem.

Grease will fix it for a while but the clunk will return and if you keep greasing it you will contaminate your fluid.

I checked around and advance auto sells them for about $170

I'd like some info on this as well. Our escalade has been having that clunking problem for quite some time, and i need to get it sorted out before i sell it.

Is it two of them I have to change? The front and the back?

So I have searched and searched. I found guys who did the bouncy ball. Guys who greased it. I can't seem to find a definite part number for the mickle plates yolk. Come on guys there are allot of denali's on here. What did you do to yours?

It looks like the reason you may be having so much trouble finding the part number is due to the fact that your truck is not part of the bulletin. At least not yet anyway. I am looking at the bulletin and the newest part numbers are 12479384 for the yoke and 12479126 for the u-joint you will need to go with it.
These may still fit your setup though.

Can you geese the 6l80 or will the grease mix with the tranny fluid?
