Default Drive shaft grease fitting
My 05 DC does not have grease fittings on the drive shaft. I am starting to have the common bump when stopping that many experience. The dealership I use does not want to pull my drive shaft to pack the yoke with grease to stop the problem. My question is what are my options:
Can I replace my yoke with a 4 x 4 yoke that has the grease fitting, are they the same?
Can I drill my yoke and install a grease fitting, and if so, where exactly do I need to put the fitting?
or, is my only option to pull the drive shaft and pack the yoke every 10 to 15K miles when it starts doing this again.
I wish they put grease fittings on the 2 x 4 , but unfortunately they don't, so I will have to take the matter into my own hands.
What do you guys think?
