Question Lubrication U Joints

My 2000 2W/D super cab with 3.0 engine has 35,000 miles and I have decided to lube everything I can. My little manual said to squirt grease into the little hole on the front U Joint. Well, I bought a needle grease adapter and emptied a whole, small tube of grease into the small hole in the front U Joint. It seems like a "bottomless pit" Whats with that! Also, how do you lube the rear U Joint?

Dan,

Welcome aboard. Don't forget to check out the the Ranger section (I assume its a Ranger since you said its a 3.0).

If you've put that grease in it, its plenty. No more than 1 or two pumps of the grease gun should be required and is enough to force out old dirty grease from the fittings.
