Maintenance question...zerk fittings
I was having a poke around under my truck last night and noticed the zerk's on the prop uj's look mighty small....did not try my grease gun yet.

They should be the normal size at least they are on my 2nd Gen. You need a flexible hose on your gun to get at all of them though!

On some rigs (esp the wifey's Cherokee) I have had to use a "needle" fitting to get grease into them. This is a steel tube goes on the end of your grease gun hose and has a point at the business end. Clean the zerks off first, then press the point against the check ball on the zerk and grease away.
I use synthetic grease on all my rigs. I used to use Amsoil grease, but was too had to track down a distributor when I needed it. Now I buy the synthetic at NAPA. I think it is made by Valvoline.

I jack the rear and rotate the drive shaft to get at the fittings. No problem with a standard grease gun.
My son's Sequoia requires a reduced diameter nozzle on the gun. I have found one on the net, looking for one locally.
