I was told by the dealer during the buying process (so you can probably take it with a grain of salt) that pretty much all bearings and u-joints are self contained and require no maintenance. I would love to see the day a bearing requires no maintenance. But to the point, when i was under my truck admiring/ studying it i don't recall seeing any grease fittings.

Thats crazy... I have a 01 Ford now and nearly every part that should have had a fitting has failed and been replaced and all the replacements have fittings ?? seems backwards to me.... Oh well I will hope they last !
This will be my first Mopar.... hope I have a good experience !
