I am in need of some info. What kind of grease is recommended for a chassis lube. I live in MN and its winter. I am wondering what grease is best for this project. Also does anyone know of a website or literature that could show me where all the grease jets are?

Grease fittings on a Dodge. Hm-m-m.
Last time I was under mine, there weren't any. Not even for the driveshaft universals. None. Not a single one. Anywhere.

Really, there are no grease fittings? Then how does one keep the chassis lubed? Any for the Ball joints or suspension arms?

There's suppose to be 5 or 7 fittings at least on my 98. Inner n outer tie rods are the only ones that i know of for sure. If you have had your ball joints replaced they should have fittings on there too if you got the greasable types.

Dodge doesn't want you to lube your vehicle so it will last a long time, and give you many years of trouble-free service.
There's no profit in it for them.
Starting in 2000, they don't even want you to see the level of coolant in your reservoir bottle. It's a molded part of the radiator fan shroud.
Go under and look around at all the parts they didn't paint. Hint: look for the rusty parts.
