I am pretty sure they have different angle tips for the guns, I think I have even seen one with a swivel head. I was not aware of the fitting you are talking about, I thought there were only three lube points: tie rod ends and the front drive shaft. If it doesnt rain here today I will check it out.

Speakle, I read Drew's thread as saying that there were three areas to lube, with the wheel ball joints as being one of the three. You's see the fitting I mentioned, it's at the very bottom of the steering shaft where it's connected with the steering box. There's not room to get a tip in there, check it out . Huh? doesn't rain here today..................you've got to be KIDDIN ! !

It has rained everyday for the last 4 or5 days here, really annoying. My grass is about 8 inches tall, its been raining the last 2 weekends.

ORIGINAL: speakle

I was in one today buying a grease gun needle for my front shaft and some oil and while walking around I thought about playing a little joke. Find the dumbest looking sales guy and tell him that I need a set of spark plugs for my truck. A lot of people are not familiar with our "ignition" systems so this could be funny although the sales guy probably wouldnt think so. Anyone try this before?
Ya he would try to sell you a set for the 360 (5.9) gasser
