Lube points on 2500

I have a 04 2500 4X4. I have searched but can only find two greese zerts at the end of the steering linkage. Is there anywhere else that I can lube without adding/changing parts? Thanks, Jim.

There is a Zerk on the front drive shaft at the CV joint. You have to have a grease needle to get to it.

FYI Jim,

That fitting is a real Bi*** for many people, including me.
There are a number of threads on it but most use this pic to help find it.

After having every ball joint and the front & rear driveline fall apart around 50,000 miles i had them replaced w/the heavy duty greasable ones..the mechanic was amazed my front end made it to 50,000 he lost his at 25,000 just make sure if you put them in the lower ball you put a 90° zerk in..
