Grease fitting locations

[WiggyHD]

Does anybody know where I can find a schematic or something with the grease fitting locations on my 2005 Silverado 4X4? I don't want to miss any.

THANKS!

Just when they need it give the boots a squeeze and keep them a little firm. With the grease I use I have only had to hit them twice in 64K.

X2! Most people over lube these joints and blow out the boots, grease shouldn't be squirting out the top and bottom seal area of the boots.

Another lube spot is the slip yoke on a 2 piece drive shaft, even with the coating it still needs cleaned and lubed.

Did mine today - that side grease gun fitting helps. Temps in the 20's had to heat the grease gun up on the heat register in the house for a couple hours so it would pump!

Thanks Everybody! Sorry I haven't replied in so long. Between traveling to take care of my Mom (brain tumor getting removed on Dec 16th) and having to get a new computer, I haven't been able to get on much.

That 90 degree grease gun tip looks great! I'm gonna get one!

THANKS!
