Yesterday, in North Adams, Mass, with Susan, I hadda accelerate up
a REALLY steep hill & it sounded like the bottom of the DAK was being hit
with a hammer. I've had U-joints go bad in MoPars before, (68 Cuda), but the
sound was more of a thump than a clank

YIKES!!!! Dude! Put your truck in neutral with the parking brake on, and block the wheels. Crawl under your truck RIGHT NOW, grab your drive shaft and yank on it. If you can move it at all (other than smoothe rortation) install new U joints, now rather than later. If you MUST drive, do so gingerly. I had the front ujoint on the rear driveshaft let go on the highway a few years back, and it pole-vaulted my Jeep - into the air and set it on it's nose. It was blind luck that all I broke was parts and not me... It 100% mangles everything, believe me....
