lack of lube

[agency12]

Anyone else had issues with lack of lube on the front ends of their 2014 silverado's?? I brought this up at my dealer this morning and they stated that my 2014 was the first they have seen with grease zerks and they will have to get lube guns installed. WTF, GM does not notify dealers that they installed lube means on these new trucks!

We have zerks???

I thought gm went away from them after the gmt800 trucks

[agency12]

Nope they are back!

There's one on each tie rod end, nothing else.

Need to install lube guns??? That's nuts, your dealer is full of banana peels and gum drops. What do they do for the people who come in for service for their older vehicles like mine that has a bunch of zerks???? You need to find a compentant dealer. The one you speak of is not an "authorized GM dealer" if they are telling you they don't have grease guns....

Uh...2007 to current 1500 trucks only have grease fittings on the outer tie rod ends. Rest of the front is sealed. 2500hd and 3500hd are the only ones with a full greaseable front end.

Yep, I saw a couple on mine already but have not greased them yet. I will pretty soon after I get my truck back.

It was an authorized GM Dealer as it was Van Chevrolet in Carrollton, TX

Then they need to start using their eyes to do maintenance on vehicles. Regardless of generation GM has had at least a couple of zerks to grease on these trucks for quite a few years now.
