Yeah everything is sealed nowdays.
Keep watching the tie rods though. Known to go bad at 30K.

Marketing strategy...smart move on their part, forces you to buy parts earlier.
I dont believe ther are any aftermarket rods yet either for these 4th gen trucks.
I one up`d the manufacturer already, i drilled/tapped all mine and installed grease fittings.
If i see mine worn out at 30,000 miles, i`ll pull a houdini on this truck, it`ll be gone in heartbeat.
Ther ain`t NO WAY i`m replacing tie-rods every 30,000 because thats bullchit to put up with that...!
