2014 Lube Fittings, Gauges and ITBC

I had to go as far as pulling mine to find th damn thing. They really need to make a more user friendly design.

We even looked all around with a mirror, nothing. I couldn't find a line drawn on the joint either. There isn't a drop of grease anywhere on the joint for it to be hidden under. Can you actually see the dimple on yours now that you know where it's at?

OK, just to help a fellow out, I went to my truck in which the factory and I have both made marks to make finding the darn thing easier. I have a zoomed-out picture, then a zoomed-in picture so you can see the dimple fitting. Then I snapped a pick of the fitting I use to grease it. I did try a needle initially to open up the zerk and get some grease in there, but then the grease just comes flowing back out. Pics below for your review and good luck.

Thank you for the pictures. Mine looks just like yours, minus the fitting. After looking at your pics, I went back out under the truck with a little pick and scratched all over the surface areas. Nothing. Just smooth surfaces.

Huh, I wonder, do you still have the lube sticker along the driver side fender when you open the hood?

 

[TRAMPLINEMAN]

Yes, the sticker is there. Being this is now really eating at me, I just went back out and checked again. I cleaned the whole area the best I could with an old tooth brush and q-tips. Looking at your pics while under my truck, I'm looking at mine at the same angle as you are in your pics. I've rotated the drive shaft countless times looking at it at as many different angles as I possibly can and it's just not there. I don't know. I went thru this on my '06 too. Ran that truck to 200K miles and never greased it once.
