HEHE you said nipples

Each drive SHAFT should have 3 NIPPLES. After you grease your NIPPLES make sure to oil your swivel BALLS.

good luck

Grease your NIPPLES each and every oil change and after wading in deep water, oil your BALLS at least once a year.
I prefer to grease my BALLS every 6 months.

BTW, also save some spray lube for each end of the hood latch cable. Real blast when it breaks off.

the air conditioner has nipples too, but dont grease them....just quick pinch or flick will usually do.

From the factory there are 3 zerks on the front propshaft, one on each u-joint and one on the slip joint.
On the rear propshaft there are 2 or 3 depending on if yours came with a rotoflex or cardan type u-joint at the rear diff.
It's possible someone has replaced the ball joints (tie rode ends) with the greaseable, so they would have one each.
