2015 VNL780. I'm starting to do most of my own PM's at home to cut down on expenses. I'll have a pro look over it every 3rd PM or so. Oil & all filter changes no problem and I do thorough inspections since I own the truck but I was spoiled with fleet maintenance for too many years so I don't know all of the grease points.
Surely this has been covered before. Can somebody link or give me a list of where the grease points are on a VNL?
I know about the steering parts but don't want to forget any
King pins
steering box
5th wheel
Thanks
Greasin' up the VNL

The king pins nipples should have one on the top and one on the bottom of king pins.
There is likely a remote line to grease the throw out bearing in the clutch area. Don't forget the brake slack adjusters and s cam bushing nipples. Don't go to crazy with the grease gun on those. The drive shafts is likely sealed u joints, but the shafts may have a nipple for the slip joint. The steering box should have one nipple. -
Thanks Dave, tranny is an iShift so no worries on the clutch. Truck has front discs as well but I'll look close to see if any part of the brakes have any zerks. First truck I've had with discs. It'll spoil you.
