This might get allot of input, or everyone might agree on the same thing(yea right). I was informed that typical wheel bearing grease is a no no in the slip yolk of a driveshaft(not including the slip yolks going into the t-case itself). I was told that you want to use the same type of grease that is used in CV joints(not the 2 u-joint type). Something related to the high sheer strength of the CV joint grease and the high torque and sliding of the slip yolk. Any illumination on this?

SLIP SHAFT??? The end of the driveshaft that slips into the transmission or transfer case is called a yolk. not all driveshafts slip into the trans or t-case, some have the SLIP SHAFT incorporated into the driveshaft itself and the ends of the driveshaft are either flanged or u-joint retention!
.........sigh..............
a 'yolk' is part of an egg
a 'yoke' is what you find at the end of a driveshaft (among other places)

You get the nickle plated slip yoke, ala GM Ian, garnish with Mobil One grease, and serve it to your output shaft.
Have a great one!
