Greased my truck today, found 10 of the grease points, 5 on each side in the front end in same locations. However, could not find the pittman arm. Guess I don't know where to look. Heard there are a total of 11 grease points. I got 10 done. Any help on the last appreciated..............Thanks Rick

The eleventh zerk is on the right side just inside the frame rail up high. It's too high to get from the bottom and too low to get from the top. It is pointed forward. Once you figure out how to get to it, it's not too bad but until then, you'll cuss it.

A right angle adapter on the grease gun works well for the hard-to-reach zerks.
this might help.. http://www.gm-trucks.com/home/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=123&Itemid=25

In addition to the right angle grease fitting for your grease gun (That is an absolute must!... Believe me;)! ) It also makes it a lot easier to get to the upper idler arm fitting if you turn the front wheels slightly to the right. It moves the idler arm away from the AC pipes. Just turn the steering wheel about 1/4 turn from center.
