@@silascastellanos My first truck was an '85 F150, everytime I changed the oil, there were 1/2 dozen or so grease zerks I hit with the grease gun. With the exception of the wife's Lexus GX, most since then have all been sealed. Haven't had an issue.
Im currently replacing my Ujoints in 2006 Tacoma 4x4. It had Greasable Zerks in it. The replacements are Non Zerks bought from Toyota OEM. Prefer the zerks cause I service at every oil change.
Thanks for the great video. I have a question that is slightly off topic. The manual says to re-torque the nuts on the drive shaft U-joints. Have you ever done that? it looks like it might be hard to get a torque wrench on it.
I believe it's the trim package that dictates whether or not the truck will have serviceable u joints. I believe all the off-roads have grease fittings.
how many pumps would you say you put into each zerk fitting? i don't think mine has ever been done and as usual i like to double check since you can't always rely on others to do the job right unfortunately. great videos and keep up the content!
My 2019 TRD Sport quad cab long bed, all rear shaft joints are sealed / non-grease-able. The front shaft has two grease joints, but damned if it's a total PITA to get my grease gun on there. I had to remove the shaft by the four bolts to get my grease gun on the zerk. Whatever narrow eyed engineer designed this needs another MacArthur nuking. Typical engineer idiocy alongside the closed transmission without a dipstick.
Damn the Tacoma has gotten ugly. Looks like the front end is swollen from a beating - all puffy. That new Ford Ranger Raptor looks a whole lot better. The Toyota Hilux is an improvement as well. Even the Chinese, Dongfeng Xiaokang K01, looks better (after a couple six-packs and an hour or so of listening to a Chinese woman singing Tammy Wynette's standards).
