ANYONE GREASE FRONT END LATELY?

[dek1581]

I HAVE 2017 RAM 1500 BIGHORN 4WD. HAS 36,000 MILES. I CHANGE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES BUT HAVE NEVER GREASED FRONT END. I CAN'T SEEM TO FIND ANY GREASE FITTINGS IN THE FRONT END. AM I MISSING SOMETHING OR ARE THEY ALL SEALED (NON-SERVICEABLE)?

Hasn't been a grease fitting on the 1500's for many years,so you're not missing anything.

Nope. There isn't any grease nipples on a 4th Gen 1500.With a grease needle and some talent you could probably get grease into some components though.

I grease all of my non-greaseable joints on all suspension parts - they tend to last basically forever at that point.
They make a needle that goes onto the grease gun, I use it and fill the boot that way.

My 18 1500 seems to have grease fitting on the upper control arms.... I thought it kind of odd and it all looks OEM (60k miles). Are you saying that they shouldn't be there?

That is more than likely just a nub to attach an arm for air ride suspension, it registers the height. If you look close you will see it is a solid fitting.

Weird my 12 has grease nipples everywhere

What's the owners manual and/or any stickers under the hood? '18 CTD 2500 has on greasing on the front and there is a sticker for it

That i'd expect with your mis-mash of front end parts,
