Lube points?
I change my oil every 3-4k miles, but I never lube the chassis (or anything else for that matter). What places need to be lubed on a 2000 Silverado? What kind of grease do you suggest? Is there a specific 'gun' that you recommend?

If I remember correctly, your tie rod ends are the only parts that have grease fittings.

On a 2000 Silverado 3500 (old body style)
12 total
1 on the drive shaft
1 on the top and 1 on the bottom next to each tire
1 on the each tire rod end (both ends each side)
take the two bottom bolts out of the front skid plate, tilt it forward and you will find 3 more - one on each side and one more on the passenger side all the way up front) you can reach these from the top but it is a lot easier to go through the plate

If you have 6, there is one on each balljoint(4) and one on each tie rod end. On this set up you will have one aluminum shaft. Originally Posted by zachh1020
