a stock sierra only has nipples on the driveshaft slip yokes, nowhere else. Some aftermarket unis have nipples though.

yep, the splines on the shaft will be lubed by the nipple. if they haven't been done for ages though, it's best to pull them apart and wash them and re grease.

I've always just used HTB for driveshafts and everything except CV's which get LMM (lithium)
