Grease zerks?

[relevante]

Did my first oil change the other day and while I was under there I took a quick look for grease zerks and didn’t find any. Is everything sealed on these or do I just need to look harder? The owner’s manual specifies a standard cartridge grease (12377985) for “chassis lubrication” so it makes me wonder.

I haven't greased a vehicle in over 25yrs.

I’m not sure I’ve ever greased a personal vehicle, but according to these forums, the previous gen had grease points.

Some of what I was reading was actually about the 2500, but just read that the 1500s had a couple too.

I would think only the Ujoints, but pure speculation.  It's too wet out to check right now, lol.

I checked them when I was under it and didn’t find any there either.

I didn't find a single stinkn zerk

2020 RST 6.2 4x4

HD's went from 11 zerks to 9 zerks  when the new chassis came out for the 2011 model year (same year DEF was added and the LML duramax replaced the LMM)

From Dunn's post, the 20+ HD chassis still has 9 zerks.

 

The LD pickups don't have zerks.

I'm not sure when they quit using them, but it was a long time back.

IIRC, it created a lot of chatter --- kinda like this thread.

You probably should work at a dealership then!
