The 1500 only has two I believe. But as you there are more on a 2500.

You better go back under your truck and get the 3 you missed.

Farmer Dave is correct - there are 11 grease fittings on all stock 2500HD's. That includes the old and new body styles.

So the NNBS 1500's have only 2 grease points :confused: That is disappointing. That might work on cars, but trucks :eek:

My IMO that doesn't work on cars or trucks......Parts don't hold up when "greased for life". Have a good day.

Has anyone had good luck with getting all fittings greased at an oil change shop? I took my truck once to a reputable shop that I had used many times for other vehicles. I thought the oil change & lube job was a little too quick & asked how many fittings they greased. They said only a couple because they couldn't reach the rest of them. I crawl under the truck & do the lube & oil change myself now. Always liked doing that, but sometimes working long hours didn't leave much spare time.

I'd be surprised if any of the lube shops ever grease all of the fittings. They aren't likely to know where they are all at and they won't spend the time and trouble to find out. Most dealers may get them, but the only guarantee to grease them yourself.

It is not just the 'quickie oil' places, dealers also!

Won't say where or who, the service writer is no longer working. But when my grease gun took a dump I needed to get the 11 fittings done. Asked how much, was told $3. I'm all excited and breathing heavy until I asked, "That's for all 11 zerks?" Then the reply, "Yea, but there are only 2 to grease."

I have since gotten a new gun.
