Lubricate grease fittings?

[Tom T]

Hi

services describe "lubricating grease fittings if available?"

a) Does our Expy have this?
b) what is your schedule if you are doing it yourself?

thanks?

I would be shocked if it has any.

Its a 1/2 ton, most all half tons have non serviceable low end front suspension components. They save the premium serviceable parts for the 3/4 tons as they are made to last and not be thrown away at 100,000 miles after the parts are worn.

Interesting, thanks for sharing....

My goal is to drive my expy for 300k miles and 12-15 years or so....

what kind of parts do you see replaced in this span besides timing belts?

Shocks/struts.
Anything rubber in the suspension.
Brakes and rotors a few times.
Windshield I’d bet.
You’ll probably want a new front seat.

this will be a decent size list to list it all.

Pretty sure there are no timing belts on the 3.5 EB. It uses timing chains.

haha....actually I missed the right word....now I realize what "timing belts" are ;-)....I meant the belt which runs in front of engine....;-)

Any/all moving suspension components....
