A little more progress tonight, removed the drive shaft and inspect the rear u-joint and front ball & trunion joint. All the joint perfect, no scoring. So I repacked the joints and reinstalled. One think I noticed that was different than the Service Manual was the fact the U-Joint cap clips were on the inside of the joint as opposed to the outside which is shown in the manual. I just need to run some grease through the fitting on the rear joint to finish everything up. Also I need to keep an eye on the retainer clips as I am not happy about how loose they feel compared to how hard they were coming off. So I may just need to see if I can find replacements for them.
