I went through the DIY looked at all the pics, bought grease and the adapter, my truck has the sticker under the hood saying to grease the fitting at every oil change. Well I've gotten under the truck and can't find it, my friends can't find it and DODGE itself can't find it.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe the fitting is only on the trucks with the electric 4x4 (the little **** on the dash) I got the manual engagement (lever on the floor) this is the only thing I can think it would be cause its an 06 and they say 05 and up have the fitting?! Just want to make sure thanks guys (and Froger)....

 

I have the manual lever on my 07, it's there. Look from the front passenger side and look at the pict in the DIY. Jack the drivers side tire up so you can spin the shaft too.

 

So it this fitting in the U-Joint that goes into the passenger side hub?

 

No. It's on the front drive shaft. At the back of the front shaft there is a double joint. It is on the front most of these two joints. It's easiest to see from the front passenger side of the joint. To make matters worse there is a cross member just under the shaft at this point (just to make it interesting).

 

Ok its good to know starred at the right spot like everyone one else and saw nothing but a crossmember blocking everything...lol... I'll try to jack it sometime and seeif I can locator again....Thanks Cujo...

 

Yeah, it's there even with the manual shifter. Real pain in the butt too. The first time is the worst, it's like it's got some kind of sealer over it or something.

My dealer didn't have a clue about it either even after I pointed it out to them complete with diagrams they tried to tell me it wasn't there.

 

Keep in mind you are not looking for a zerk style fitting, its just a little round dimple that the grease needle rests up against. Look at the joint while you slowly spin the tire or the shaft. It's a real bitch the first time till you figure out the best angle. It's also only going to take a couple of pumps. It will come out the back of the joint, if you get too much grease in the joint it will spin grease off and make a mess of the under side.

 

Yeah I saw the picture that Drew posted of it and got theadapter, grease and gun sitting in my tool box. Pry try to get under there withapressure washer and spray the **** out of it to try to get it to reveal its ugly face....
