Greese Zert

[jlwelding]

I am told there are greese zerts on my 05 3500 but I sure as heck cant find them. Can anyone give me a clue.

Is it 4x4 and totally stock???If so, there will only be one. It's a needle grease fitting on the double cardan joint on the front drive shaft. Sealed u-joints, axle u-joints, ball joints and tie-rod endsIf it's a 2wd and totally stock, there will be no grease zirks anywhere. All sealed.

2wd and yes I looked everywhere

My '04.5 that I bought new had sealed tie rod ends. Replaced the OEM's at 71,000 miles, and the greasables have been good since.

Interesting, must have been an MY05 change. What brand are you running now?

I am probably going to put new tie-rod ends on next weekend. I don't have much/any play, but will be doing all the other work and might as well.. My OEM's have been good so far, 86K, so I am not sure what to go with besides OEM.

Most likely whatever greasables you can get from NAPA. That's where the shop gets most of their stuff.

Thanks. I have to do some looking this week. I just looked and realized that you can't just replace the tie-rod end on the passenger size, or the pitman arm joint....
