Greasing steering ujoints?

Are the u-joints on the steering shaft from the wheel to the gear box greasable? Mines been vibrating only when turning right for a while.

If you disassembled it that far to do that you would want to go ahead and replace anyway.

So I'm guessing there are not grease fittings on them? I'll just replace if that's the case.

On my '79 we replaced the joints with greaseable u-joints but I have not investigated this upgrade on the post '99 models. Let me know how it goes. Pulling yourself into the vehicle with the steering wheel puts a lot of wear on them.

I've always done that because of the lack of a handle and running boards too high. I'm 265 lbs so it's a bit difficult to get into this truck.
