Number of grease fittings on 2001 2500HD

[ausdoug]

I greased my 2001 2500 HD (8.1L/Allison) this weekend. I counted 7 fittings. 3 at each front axle area and 1 on a steering column link. Does that number agree with what others have seen?

Are you getting the idler arm for steering linkage?

I am thinking 8 on steering linkage with two on idler and then 4 more, with one for each ball joint.

Well, I read the various postings and found the article where someone had posted the pictures. I crawled back under the truck this afternoon and found 11 zerks. The posted pictures were a great help.
