Nipples
Alright now that I've got yur attentionanybody here greese there trucks themselfs?if so are the any greese fitting "nipples" for the front end.
Reason why IM asking,It seems as I have some kind of clanging nosie when hitting bumps.I 1st thought it was pads or calliper but while hitting unwanted pot holes/and manhole covers I'll apply the break and I still here the noise.As time goes on it don't seem to go I assume it'll get worse.
Sooooo IM thinking it could be a simple greese fix.
Any help would be great.

RE: Nipples
To be quite honest, I have no clue where any of the damned things are!
IIRC according to the sheet I got from amsoil there are 22 grease fittings on the truck.
I've looked through the manual, but haven't really found anything...then again, I haven't really looked very hardeither...

RE: Nipples
There are no grease fittings. Permanently sealed joints. There are after market kits that you drill into the cover plate and tap in a fitting in case you want to start a lube routine but it’s really not necessary. If you have suspension noise its time to replace parts with better grade aftermarket parts.

At this point I'll take anything over the OEM shocks.
I guess it's a 'race' between Monroe and Bilstein as to who comes out with something first....
Hopefully they come out about the same time, if Bilstein is a little slow, they may lose some customers who just cannot wait any longer to replace the shocks...

RE: Nipples
There's a bump I hit every day on the way to work (usually at about 75 because it's on the highway and I'm always trying to pass someone before I take the exit there, lol). I swear it takes all 4 wheels off the ground, the truck does this little "hey I'm floating" thing then bounces like a 60's buick on factory suspension...

RE: Nipples
I did look for the fittings half hartedly but figured it was a sealed system/or out of sight type.
Rich youre on # 3 replacement shock?WTF!
