grease or no grease
What year is your Ranger? Some vehicles are "sealed" by the factory. Some have holes drilled and tapped, but then are capped off. And some actually have grease fitting installed. Why? 
Who knows. No grease fitting, but your manual says lube every 15K miles, sounds about right.

If the ball joints aren't drilled and tapped for grease fitting, theirs not much you can do. If you take it to a dealer or shop they will probably just tell you they are sealed units. I has an 69 Mustang with the same deal. The ball joint got replaced after 200,000 miles. I wouldn't worry about it too much.
By the way, you may want to turn your caps off. Using upper case letters in a chat room or text based forum is considered the same as shouting.
