2008 Ranger.....Any grease certs on my truck ?

..............Purchased my 2008 Ranger one year previous , now has almost 19k miles and I've had the oil changed at Wally world and fixing too again on Tuesday , the 16th. Are there any grease certs on the 2008 Ranger that the folks at wallyworld should be greasing ? I can't get under my truck cause the ground is just like soup and I live in a RV park which isn't paved . , thanks , rb

No grease fittings under there that I am aware of. At least that's the setup on my 03 and I assume your's is the same. Wish there were as have already replaced ball joints on both sides and don't even have 39,000 on truck.

Once upon a time I also was in a similar situation -- so I went to a nearby neighborhood business that had a nice, well-drained (meaning sunny & dry) paved parking lot. I wheeled in on a Saturday afternoon or Sunday - when no one was there working so the lot was empty. I pulled out a chunk piece of cardboard that I had stashed behind the seat, pushed it under the truck and then I slide on under on the cardboard to give my vehicle a quick inspection/adjustment. I've also used an empty plastic garbage bag to put down, but any wind will catch it so it isn't nearly as handy as a chunk of cardboard folded flat. Both will work to keep you dry and dirt-free. As long as you don't leave a mess in their parking lot and you don't stay too long, no one will likely bother you about it.

It worked for me!

P.S.
Many REPLACEMENT ball joints, steering tie rod ends and driveshaft U-joints will have grease zerks, but not too many of the original joints will have them.
