    Front drive shaft. There is only one grease port, the rest of the joints are sealed. Why FCA done this is beyond me.

    Even though this drive shaft is basically stationary while not in 4 Hi or 4 Lo - for those who don't use 4WD except for winter time bad weather.

    How often are you going to be pumping a couple squirts in this joint?

    EDIT: Every couple months I will crawl under the truck & spin the shaft by hand @ least 20 revolutions both direction.

    Every 10k for me. Grease can dry out over time even if you don’t use the 4 wheel drive.

    When the 4WD system is not engaged - Is the front differential gear set as well as the BW44-46 (chain driven gear set) continuously turning? ---> Turning & heating up the gear oil & ATF.

    On mine (2012) the differential and driveshaft are always rotating with the front tires. I'm not sure if all year models after 2012 / 2013 are this way???
