Default grease front driveshaft?

I just noticed that there is a sticker under the hood that says your supposed to grease the front driveshaft at each oil change. I got under the truck and I cannot find any grease fittings anywhere, so my question is how do I grease this and where.

I was curious to find this out so I did a quick search. Assuming it is the same setup as a CTD, it is located on the drive shaft near the transfer case. You need the needle style fitting for your grease gun because it is not a standard zerk fitting. I did a google search of "2007 dodge ram grease fitting". That will give you some pictures. I guess now I have something to add to my list while doing an oil change. Hope this helps

Thanks, that explains everything I'll have to get a needle fitting for my grease gun.

maybe not what you are referring to, but I just noticed (after owning my truck for the past 45K miles and never doing this) that on the 2500/3500 4x4's you are supposed to lubricate the outer tie rod ends every 6K miles. the grease zerks are indeed there - at least they are lubed now. I haven't seen anything about greasing the drive shaft though
