462 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE Front Prop Shaft Lubrication - 2500/3500 (4X4) Models Lubricate the front driveshaft grease fitting at each oil change listed in the appropriate Maintenance Schedule for your vehicle. Use Mopar type MS-6560 (lithiumbased grease), or equivalent. Body Lubrication Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as seat tracks, doors, liftgate, tailgate, sliding doors and hood hinges, should be lubricated periodically to assure quiet, easy operation and to protect against rust and wear. Prior to the application of any lubricant, the parts concerned should be wiped clean to remove dust and grit. After lubricating, excess oil and grease should be removed. Particular attention should also be given to hood latching components to ensure proper function. When performing other underhood services, the hood latch, release mechanism and safety catch should be cleaned and lubricated. The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year, preferably in the Fall and Spring. Apply a small amount of a high-quality lubricant such as Mopar Lock Cylinder Lubricant directly into the lock cylinder. Front Driveshaft Grease Fitting
