    Boys and girls,
    I seem to be unable to find a proper answer on how many grease fittings my truck has. Counting 5 on the drive (prop) shaft. Am I missing any?

    It can vary, some late 16's had zero on the rear prop shaft.

    5 sounds right for a standard 16 model.

    Hard to believe they aren’t putting zerks on them these days. Probably worse than the sealed transmission the parts guy said I couldn’t service myself . I do wonder if I am missing any fitting else where on the truck? My previous vehicles have had fittings in the front end, at least the ball joints. Not sure about these trucks
