Chassis lube?

[jwgary]

Ok, I have never done a lube job on any of my vehicles before, but I thought it would be easier than this. I may be blind, but I can't seem to find any grease zerks anywhere on the underside of the truck. Am I missing something? (obviously) I need to know pretty soon because I would like to get everything lubed up for a drive to Houston on Monday. Read sig for truck specs. Thanks.

I don't think the 2k1 is like the 2k. Mine has 3. I have one on top of each of the upper ball joints and one at the left frame end of the link going from the right axel housing just below the steering stabiliser shock mount to the left frame mount just to the left of the steering gear box. I think I read on the TDR that 2k1 or 2k1. 5's do not have fittings on the upper ball joints and not sure of the one on the link either. Thoes are the only places Where they were in 2k.

Jwgary,do a search on grease zerts,someone figured out that you can drill and tap to add zerts,I have done this and now I can keep things greased up,I do recommend it #ad

Are there any places on a 2001. 5 to lube? Come to think of it, I don't remember seeing anything about chassis lube in the owner's manual. Is everything sealed now? I kinda feel stupid since I bought a grease gun before I found no grease zerks under the truck. #ad

On my 2001-5 I have two zerks. One on the pitman arm at the end of the steering box and one on the idler arm . They both look just alike. The zerk is on top
