Default What happened to the grease fittings on the tie rod ends?

I think my truck must be REAL new, because the grease fittings on my tie rod ends haven’t grown in yet!
The diesel supplement says I have to grease them along with the front union (that was a joy), but my ends don’t have any fittings; I guess they made a change?
