None.

None? Did they change it from 99-02 body styles? My 02 has zerk fittings.

[cfrank2]

the information in the online application guide at amsoil.com said that my truck has 6 zerk fittings but i need to know where they are.

'03 and up have either 11 zerk fittings or 6 depending upon if you have 4wd..actually i think they should be the same from '99 up. Heres a list/location of all 11
Driver Side
1)Upper balljoint
2)Outer Tie-rod End
3)Lower Balljoint
4)Inner Tie-rod End
5)Pit-man Arm which is located at the relay rod
Passenger Side
1)Idler Arm-located at the relay rod
2)Upper end of Idler arm mount
3)Idler Arm-at relay rod
4)Inner Tie Rod End
5)Lower Ball Joint
6)Outer Tie Rod End
7)Upper Ball Joint
If you have a 2wd truck then you only have six that just include the four ball joints and the two outer tie rod ends.
Hope this helps..I know theres a message board somewhere with the pictures..I'll let you know if I find them

I believe mcconnel is correct take spash shields off use lithium grease watch rubber seals swell .too much grease with damage them then you'll have a mess.

You guys are correct, my mistake.

on the 03 the 2500hd 2 wheel drives and the 1500 4x4 all have 11. I have one of both of them

Additionally, if you have had a U-joint replaced, it/they are more than likey greaseable.

It may not apply to this specific truck, but many/most "slip-in-shaft" driveshafts are greaseable.

I also lube all bushings (A-arm, sway bar, leaf spring shackles, etc., anything that moves) at least twice a year with a silicon based spray.
