Question Grease

I own a 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel 4x4 and my dealer told me there are no places to grease my truck. I do not feel this is true. Anyone else out there with a 2011 grease threre truck?

If there is sticker under the hood on the drivers side fender near the front that says to grease the front drive shaft then you have to grease the front drive shaft, I do mine.

Don't worry too much about the front drive shaft, as in don't upset your schedule to get it done.
I didn't grease mine until about 90k mi. Didn't even know about it until maybe 70k mi then couldn't find the grease zerk, so postponed it.
Now over 100k and ok. Buddy's 03 was at about 170k, never been greased and didn't have any front driveline issues.
Not saying don't do it, just wait until you need to take it in for something eles, it's not an emergency.
Do the 4th Gens not have greaseable outer tie rods?
