Driveshaft fitting Lube
How many fittings are there to lube on my 19 F350 dually 4x4? Looked in owners manual and can’t find it. Is there a diagram of where it’s located ? Thanks !

Not positive if the same.... but my 250 only has 2 behind the front tires steering knuckle, that's it.... you can rotate the joint and then you will see the fitting.

dealer didn't know they were there LOL , I had to show them. they told me there were NO zerk fittings.

Only two zerk fittings on SRW trucks, as was stated above. Both are on the front axle u-joints. It seems like there should be more, but there aren't.

The owner's manual calls for Motorcraft XG-11 but also says it must meet specification WSS-M2C192-A. This was discussed in this thread: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...-fittings.html. But we didn't really come up with a definitive answer. I stick to a grease that says it's used for u-joints.

I treat them like the age old, ( lube, oil, filter) can't hurt


hopefully one of the dually guys chimes in and gives any other zerk fitting locations that a dually might have

DRW F350 just has two zerks. I lube them every 15K since they are not always turning.

Turning if the front end is locked it as how I always thought it to be.

Fluid dynamics in the transfercase, and the slight friction at the hubs cause the front components to spin even if the hubs are unlocked.

Here's a good video:
