Sorry, 1 more driveshaft clunk thread

[Jhollowell]

So i've had the driveshaft clunk for a long time now and i tried greasing the yoke and that lasted for a few days so it wasn't really worth it. Recently i replaced the yoke with a new one and i believe it was this part number BL3Z-4841-F. The clunk went away completely except when it rains. When its wet out, it clunks like crazy when i brake, accelerate and turn but when its dry its 100% gone. Any idea why moisture makes it worse? Does the moisture make the yoke seal that much better so the vacuum is better? I guess having the clunk 6 months out of the year is better than 12, its just weird how much worse it is in the rain.

That is strange, usually it clunks when dry and goes in and out freely when nice and wet!

From what ive seen in my trucks, driveshafts “clunk” when the trans in the gear that is close or at 1:1. In a gen 2 thats 5th or 6th going 30-40.
