other maintenance when performing routine oil changes
#11
I use "Green Grease", it is found at TSC and is full synthetic and water and dust repellent, it is a implement grease meant for farm machinery and if its good enough to work 12 hours a day 7 days a week rain or shine its good enough for my truck.

Is this possible? Or is this to be done only if a grease-able centering ball is used in the rebuild? I've asked this question before, but I continue to get worried because I am not greasing mine (Precision 617 that was used in the rebuild). As far as I can tell, there is no way to grease the centering ball that was used when I had the shaft rebuilt, but if I am neglecting something, I want to know!!

But you MUST grease it on a re-built greasable DII driveshaft at EVERY oil change.

Spike, I had my driveshaft rebuilt a year ago by a driveline shop. He replaced the three joints with grease-able Precision 344s and the centering ball with a Precision 617. I see no way to grease the replacement centering ball, other than using a needle, which I don't think will get the grease in the crucial places. Other than removing the centering ball, packing it with grease, and basically doing a partial drive shaft rebuild every 3000 miles, I don't see how.

Yes you must use a needle to grease the centering ball.
