Driveline grease....generic red synthetic is what I use but its more about making sure that you are greasing the driveshaft routinely at each oil change.

And thoroughly means pumping grease until fresh grease comes out of all four caps of the u-joints.

I've always greased mine every-other oil change during normal driving conditions, now if any off-roading or really wet conditions have been encountered...it gets dropped and lubed. But, yes...you have to remove the front shaft from the transfercase and lube the center bearing often...or it will fail. Most people overlook this. Just like not checking the transfercase fluid. If l had a dollar for every person that thought when they filled the transmission it fills the transfercase at the same time...l'd be rich.
