No Needle Point Grease Fitting

[Corley]

I have looked for a grease fitting on my front drive shaft.From what I see the 2015 Laramia 2500 4x4 has only 2 ujoints on the drive shaft. One at the transfer case and one at the front axle.Did they change this for 2015.The Manuel says to grease it at 7500 miles.It will be hard to do when there is not one.

Not sure about other years (but I suspect they are all the same) but the 2015's have a single u-joint at the diff end and a double cardan joint (two u-joints) at the t-case end. The fitting is very hard to see, I couldn't find it until I looked at a photo someone posted either here or on another board....but it is there, and it is not on the u-joint itself it is at the pivot ball that is between the two u-joints. It is a very small fitting.

It is not easy to see.
