Have you ever had the front drive shaft rebuilt, if not sure crawl under and see how many grease fitting you have on the front drive shaft.
In the mean time, don't drive the truck.
By the way, how many miles on it and how often do you grease the front drive shafts?

Since they have not been greased in 2 years you will most likly need a new driveshaft again.

You need to check all over your driveline fluids to make sure that theya re full.
Also check your tire pressure, if one or more tires are low it can cause stress on the driveline.

Check the rear roto flex wheel and make sure it is not cracked, it is between the rear drive shaft and the differental.
