Thanks for showing us how it’s done. Tip (since I’ve been there): use a liberal coat of Permatex Anti-Sieze on your wheels (& repeat every time you take a wheel off). You’ll never struggle again.

I'm going through the same thing with the dealer ship right now and they said they were greased ONE time and got around 180000 thousand on the truck 2019! They replaced the drivers side and said the other side was fine 😮 drivers side 2 caps frozen on and steering would lock in place, had to Jerk wheel to straighten vehicle out but passengers side was fine, I looked at it and I swear they have never been done. Windshield wiper control work when it wants to when turned on and one turns it off and it still going and that was replaced as well so back in the shop today. They said no need to change it nothing will happen 😮 just unbelievable the service people get for the money they charge!almost 10,000 in the last month on this truck and still pulls to the left!

Many thanks for this video. I forgot where they were and was just under the truck doing an oil change. Like you, I had been taking the truck in for oil changes and decided to do it myself because of the time spent going to get it done and now the cost of gasoline. It's almost 50 miles round trip to the mechanic in my rural area. That's just about $16 of gas in May, 2022.

If you’re not in 4WD, there’s no stress on those u-joints. Also, in 2WD and hubs on Auto, you can turn the u-joints by hand to get the grease fittings in a good, accessible spot.

ahah ! Thanks for the tip on the unlocking the front hubs on my SD. My OBS 7.3 I don't have electric and always unlock to roll highway, but the newer truck is like you said. My truck had front end done over and has fittings everywhere.. But, they put them on upper ball joint and the half shaft makes it impossssssible to go on straight, mabye need a 90degree zerk IDK. Figuring it out.

Crazy how much grease you had to add in order for it too ooze out of the joint. Good thing you got this, otherwise it would be an expensive repair. Only two grease fittings on a C6 Corvette too. Rear link.

The simplest way to loosen stuck wheels is to relieve the lug nuts about 1/8th inch, turn the front wheel to induce stress, and drive slowly. Works instantly and no damage.

Just found frt u joints grease fittings on my 2008 f350, seeing that nothing else (ball joints etc ) had grease nipples, took it for granted that there were no fittings anywhere, just ordered a syringe with fitting for a grease gun to inject grease into rubber on u joints and what ever else it can do, thinking the auto companies want your parts to wear out so they can sell you them, sad , trucks of the old days were lube friendly.

When you have a super duty with the u joints on half shafts. you better start early and watch all 4 bearing cups and make sure they are taking grease. save yourself a lot of time effort and money and do them often. a little bit, often and make sure they all take grease, good grease. unless you have a lot of money, then F$%K it don't care.

NLGI 2 has a good drop point and will be good. Grease works it's way out , even sitting, and even with expensive moly additive or what, u still should be greasing 5-6 pumps every 6 months, couple pumps every 3 months if you really care, and every 5k miles if you drive lots. Our trucks sit, a lot, and we watch the grease slowly drop in level. The expensive grease's only benefit is if you go beyond the needed interval, based on your use, is there is some anti friction modifier that theoretically will help provide some protection, but not grease, and if you really care, make sure there's grease. It's not worth it to buy $6 tubes. Get a good case of Tutela lithium cheap grease NLGI 2 for $2/tube, no need to waste money. Keep a second gun with high temp drop point around for bearings if you have on trailers and what.

I would think your Owners Manual would specify ALL greaseable joints. Did you look carefully at driveshaft joints? I would be very upset with your dealer, your joints may fail because of their neglect.
