Just put a fresh Amsoil oil and a filter in, and wanted to know if anyone has any pics or locations of the lube points for a 2012 Ram 1500?

This statement is sadly correct. The HD 4x4s have a single lube point on the front driveshaft, but other than that there are no lube points anymore. Makes them wear out faster so you have to buy a new one ;)

The sealed ones last a long time and most people neglected to do it on the greaseable kind which wear out fast without maintenance. I find the sealed ujoints last way longer than the serviceable kind now this could just be because spicer is better than the napa ones.

So you guys know on the Amsoil site if you put in your vehicles year,make and model it will tell you how many grease zerks it has.

I had an 85 chevy k2500. I did front, and rear driveshafts, and stub axles at 350,000 miles. The stub axles were ok, the rear driveshaft was more or less worn out, some slop had developed, and I could have run it into the ground, but since I was down there anyway... and the front was ok, but like the rear, soon to be required.

This was a lot of miles. On my 2005 3500 the u joint on the rear pumpkin went around 70k, and the front end had to be re-built at 100k. No comparison when properly maintained in my opinion.
