How many zerks on `04 ranger?

I'm surprised that they still have them on the drive shaft any more. (This is about all you're going to see. Atlas has the world spinning on sealed bearings now.)

If there are any zerks on the drive shaft, it'll be a first for OEM.

There's probably none anywhere.

Well, 25 years ago that was about the only place you could find zerks - on the joints of the drive shaft...

Well i've been working on cars professionally for over 25 years and I've NEVER seen a zerk on an original equipment u-joint.

Well maybe I am behind the times, I have always driven used vehicles, usually several years old. But for the most part have had them serviced at fast lube joints, but have sworn off of them with the purchase of this new truck. They have always told me how many lube points they have attended to, and is usually 6-11 points that I assumed had zerks. A zerk is the nipple that you put the lube gun on right? I guess that my maintenance is going to be easier than I thought it would be. I wish it were that way for the big rigs, I just lubed a dump truck that I drive and had 37 zerks that need to be done on a weekly/monthly basis.
