Alright, get your mind out the gutter.

On our '09+ trucks, what components need to be lubed at the regular oil change interval? On past trucks, I've topped-up the grease zerks on both driveshafts and front control arms, plus lubing between the leaf springs.

I know lots of components are sealed now....SO, what needs lubing on our trucks?

Thanks,
Dave

What's the manual say??

 

The scheduled maintenance guide unhelpfully says every 15k you're supposed to lube zerk fittings "if equipped." So what are you supposed to do: go looking on the entire underside of the truck for hidden grease zerks? Stick a 5 year old under there and tell him its a treasure hunt? I don't have a factory service manual, which I imagine would be more helpful.

 

there is nothing to lube.

 

on modern vehicles there is no zerk fittings on suspension components like older cars. so when parts fail they fail.

 

Not even U joints? Interesting

nope not even ujoint. i work at a dodge dealer, and run the express oil change service. the manual says to lube the drive shaft but there are no fittings. and this is on 2011 trucks.
