Hey there ChosenFew,
Look, the new fittings and u-joints are made with high tech materials that do not need greasing.... My new Euro Mack full time 4x4 Crew Cab truck has none anywhere in the drive train except for the constant velocity joints in the front end.. None in steering, none in u-joints, it is quickly becoming a thing of the past.
Mind you, I would feel better if I could climb under and grease something myself... Even my BRAND NEW F-350 CC King Ranch.... No grease fittings...
Frustrates hell out of a old Greaser... Ha!
