I know from searching the front drive shaft fitting discussions that the 2019+ 4x4 trucks don’t have a serviceable u joint/ CV / Cardon joint (whatever the correct term is) so the diesel supplement manual is wrong. The diesel supplement manual also says to “inspect front end, and lubricate-if equipped with serviceable fittings” every 7500 miles. I searched around under the front end and I can’t find any needle or zerk fittings. I would assume they are referring to steering or suspension components. So has anyone found and greased any fittings on a 2019+ truck?

2019+ Front End Serviceable Fittings- Are There Any?
1 reading
Very curious in this as well. Did they change the front shaft from the 4th gen trucks? I know many people mentioned that their 4th gens didn't have the grease point on the front shaft, but it WAS there. Just curious if that's still the case for the newer trucks?
It seems based on the previous axle shaft discussions that Ram changed the joints on the front axle shaft to non-serviceable on 2019 and newer trucks. What I want to know is if there are any other serviceable fittings elsewhere on the front end of the 2019 and newer trucks.

Also have a '19 DRW 4x4 and looked around multiple times and never found any fittings. They gotta fix that manual for OCD guys like myself.
Same here 2019 2500 bighorn and zero fittings anywhere up front. I looked and looked. I did read that there is supposedly one on the front TC shaft but nothing i can see.
Well……I’ll upset the apple cart and mention that my 2022 RAM 5500 Cab & Chassis has three fittings; one on each tie rod end and one on the pitman arm.
