Greasing Front Driveshaft on 2019 Ram 2500

[mustangguy289]

The manual states we have a grease point on the 2019 Front Driveshaft. I have yet to find it (even after watching videos of where to look). Someone on the 5th Gen HD Facebook group said the 2019's and newer no longer have a greaseable front driveshaft. Any truth to that?

My understanding is there is nothing to grease. I have looked very closely and no zerks.

The manual still says that, but the front drives shaft has a sealed CV joint that doesn't need greased.

There is no fitting it gets greased with a needle thats how i do em anyway, i have yet to check my 2019 but i assume it would be the same

2019+ has no fitting of any kind... there is nothing to service.

Thanks. It would be great if the manuals were correct haha!

Pretty sure even that needle tip hole is gone now 2019+ is, as stated, sealed CV.

Hmm what a terrible thing

Didn’t realize the front driveshaft just changed to CV with the 2019 ... the boot on mine tore at ~7k miles (it was replaced under warranty)... hopefully that was just a fluke and won’t be a trend.

Went crazy under there for half hour today looking for it. Nothing there but that sealed CV.

Checking back in: now at 20k. Replacement Driveshaft has been fine now for ~13k , and I haven’t heard of other people having this issue... but have been a one off problem. Possibly the boot was damaged during factory installation
