Acceptable driveshaft play? See video

Hey guys,

took a quick video. Trucks on level ground in 1st gear.
trying to diagnose a clunk feeling especially felt from 1st to 2nd but a bit from 2nd to 3rd too. If I feather it real smooth it doesn't really clunk. Also seems better when truck is warmed up.
I greased the slide yolks and all zerks except the ones requiring the tool, which I have just have to do those still.

here's a video, what do you

the rear joint is failing, what you want to look at when inspecting is the movement of the two carriers(where each side of the bearing connect the sections) relative to each other there should be no movement. You can see in the video the gap changed.

Okay, so would it be best to buy aisin then? What about moog?
I have not replaced one before but can't be too hard on guessing?
is this what is causing the clunk?

Moog has gone down hill in quality is the general consensus, but it's what the parts store had so I am using it for now.

It is a basic job, but not always easy with out a hydraulic press.

Looks like sockets and a vice can get the job done from what I've seen. And to Mark the locations and install the same way to make sure you keep driveshaft balanced.
