What type of fitting are used? What kind og grease should I use? Last but not least when should this be done??   Erik G.

Simple to do, just a lot of moving the truck a few inches forward or backward to get at those drive-shaft grease fittings.   Bill Bettridge (Billb) Dweb Lounge Member Username: Billb Post Number: 1185 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Wednesday, October 22, 2003 - 12:12 pm:    Frequency - every oil change. More often if you wheel it.
