Drive-line clunk came back six months after having the rear end rebuilt and new u-joints. Apparently those weren't the problem. Just got in from pulling the driveshaft and applying copious amounts of Lucas Red & Tacky to the slip yoke. Think I know my problem. There was no more grease in there, but what looked like some oil at the very back. I have a slow rear main leak and I suppose oil is running down the bottom of the trans into the slip yoke and deteriorating the grease. It didn't look like trans fluid but next time I grease it, I might replace those seals on the tail-shaft.
Don't want to pull the trans just for the rear main as it is pretty slow...but also don't want my trans to grenade any time soon.
