On my 04 there are a couple on the steering linkage but that's it. You might want to grease your rear driveshaft splines IF you have an extended or crewcab truck, but that requires a little disassembly and only if you get that annoying clunk. Later models may not have any zerks at all.

Havn't found any on mine Tim and as of yet no clunk in the driveline. Overall this has been a very good truck. May be looking at changing the upper CAC hose. It seems to be weeping a little.

That would be on a 4 X 4 not a 4 X 2.

Follows is text from my 2006 Scheduled Maintenance guide:
* Lubricate ball joints and steering linkage if equipped with zerk fittings.
* Inspect and lubricate 4X4 front axle shaft U-joints (F250/350/450/550).
* Inspect and lubricate 4X4 front axle shaft U-joints (F250/350/450/550).
This is to be done every 15K miles.
On my truck the only zerk fittings that I have found are on the front axle shaft U-joints.
