Default 2005 RAM 2500 4x4 5.9l - where to grease Front Prop Shaft exactly?

Good Afternoon;
I have a: 2005 RAM 2500 4x4 5.9l

where to grease Front Prop Shaft exactly?

I have the owners manual - pg. 358 has a picture of where the service spot ought to be - I looked all over the Prop Shaft and both u-joints that are in there and I could Not find neither Zirk fitting nor a Flush Mount Zirk that we would use a grease Needle to service with.

Anyone happen to have a picture of an actual zirk fitting on their front drive shaft Prop Shaft?

Thank You

There may not be any zerk fittings, of any description. If the joints have been replaced... they may be the 'sealed' units, that never had a zerk.

See Attached Picture- This is what my owners manual reads: My interpretation is that it is somewhere on the Prop Shaft as it reads in the owners manual. I do not believe they mean a u-joint or it would read u-joint.?

Yeah, that's on the CV joint. Might be for the ball coupler in the middle there, if you can't find it, don't worry about it.
