Not difficult, but if the bore of the master is worn and/or
ridged then a rebuild is not feasible.
If you do decide to rebuild, then get a cylinder hone and
definitely hone the cylinder before rebuild.
If you want details on the gotchas - catch me off line.
DOn;t want to bore folks with oft-told tales.

Not necessarily, but likely. Definitely inspect the splined
sliding joint also. Could also very well be little more
than loose bolts, too.

No, but it is fiddly if you don't have a press. Pull the
shaft, take it to a local driveline shop and they can do it
for you cheaply enough, as the U-joints are standard items.
For your truck a Precision 369 is in order unless the shaft
has been swapped for an older one (not likey but not
impossible). If so, a Precision 344 is needed.
