    I hae a 06 Dodge Diesel, why didn't the factory U-Joints come with fittings, the fitting hole is filled with plastic. Do I need to wait till they wear outburnout

    It says to grease every oil change, but no fittings

    I have an '06 as well and noticed too that there are not any zerks...I was going to stop by the dealership and say WTF!!! Just havent gotten that far. Yep grease em every oil change! I guess if you feel like taking them apart. I think I will wait until they whistle and replace them with something I can lube up once in awhile.

    They are likely sealed u-joints right? I am pretty sure my '01 has sealed joints. I wouldn't worry about it much as long as they are a sealed design.
