i had this issue, i think i still have it not sure, too busy paying attention to other noises.
but anyways i will be trying the greasing and then u joints, dealer said everything was fine when they looked at it awhile back.
maybe ill have them look at it again, getting another alignment tomorrow and having them source my new coolant leak because i give up.

i just put new spicer u-joints in both ends today and regreased it and it seems to be working fine for now =)..so ill go from here..lol
yeah me too but before i did it my drive shaft and yoke and u-joints were already spice..i think they all come like that..idk tho
I had the same problem. dealer replaced the slip yoke with a new I believe, zinc coated part, there is a service bulletin regarding that issue, I think it might be listed on Diesel Place. Don't know if it's the same problem you're having but it was very annoying.

This one? http://www.duramaxdiesels.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4722&highlight=slip+joints
Interesting I might have to see if I can get this done to Wendy.
WOW ! You're fast.. That's the one. It worked for me "Nickel plated" I knew it was plated with something

yeah i think that is my problem cause i greased it once and then it happen agian so ill see in a couple of days..but i am out of warrenty so would dealer still replace it? is it a recall?
I don't know if it was a recall or just a service bulletin, I guess you'd have to ask the dealer or someone on here who is a service writer. Mine was still under warranty when they replaced it.
Not sure about the part number but this might help.

My brother has a Z71 that had that as a issue kept re occurring after oiling so he was told 3 years ago to put a super ball in there ( the small one) he did and hasent had a issue yet, beats me as why it works it just did!
Well I think I finally fixed it, last week put a new yoke on and it stopped...that seems to be it
