Default 06 front driveline grease

So whats with the front drive line being greased at 3,750 mile intervals. I looked and all I see is a sealed unit. Theres even a caution sticker under the hood stating to grease the front driveline at every oil change. One thing I did notice is that the caps on the u-joints do not have a retainer ring to hold them in place. I thought that was abnormal since there is a grove for a ring. Anyone else run into this abnormality?

Guess I will have to take a good look at mine the next time I am under it. BTW I also read it in the owners manual.

starting in 05 the 4X4 front drive shaft had a slight change to it. a double cardan joint was added and it is greasable.

you have to look hard, very hard, but there is a small needle zerks fittings on it. you may have to jack up one wheel in order to turn the drive shaft to see it, but it is there

to my knowledge, which is added to on a daily basis, this is the only greasable spot on the whole truck.
