Re: I think I messed up

What do you mean "I put grease on the spline of my truck"? What kind of grease? If you have an auto tranny and introduced axle grease into it, not a good thing. Rear tranny seals are made to seal the fluids that are in the tranny. A rear tranny seal for an automatic may be different than one for a standard tranny because of the different lubes used.

So, to fix your problem you'll probably need to replace the rear tranny seal. Lube the slip joint outer area with what ever fluid is in the tranny and do it very lightly.
