Go buy the best synthetic grease you can find for it. Then before you do anything, crawl under your truck and count how many grease fittings you have on the front drive shaft, should have 3 plus a plug.
By the way, what year is your truck?

Why just the front shaft? If you like the rear shaft as much as your front shaft (and I think you do...) you better lube that one as well.
