I haven't crawled under in about 5k miles, got under there today and saw this. Is this simply the mechanic overfilling when he checked the slip yoke or is there something wrong here? How would I know?

I see that as a good thing as it means grease has been put where it should be. Likely the driveshaft compressed under a bit of articulation at some point after being lubed and pushed out a good bead of grease that no longer fit in the then compressed slip joint. Upon re entering the highway it slung and you got what you have there.
thanks, ordered itI use a product from Lucas Oil that is designed for heavy-duty use, ie bulldozers, front loaders, etc. It is designed so it will not be flung like the regular stuff. Never had any issues since using it.

Isn't the consistency spec'd by the NLGI #2? All #2s will fling similarly, not enough to change at the centrifugal forces of a spinning driveshaft. Flinging would be the last thing you should worry about. Just clean up real well after greasing and you're good to go.I use a product from Lucas Oil that is designed for heavy-duty use, ie bulldozers, front loaders, etc. It is designed so it will not be flung like the regular stuff.
