1500 trucks have them on the tie rod ends, that's it.
They don't do it to sell parts, they do it to save cost.

All the ball joint's both upper and lower fail on the 1500 at short miles. My 2500 did not have grease zirks and had the same issue. The fact that they install it on the HD shows that they know the grease will make them last longer and yet they don't offer it on the 1/2 ton. I would think at the cost I paid for an LTZ they would maybe try and give me some quality.
I replaced all mine with grease able joints. Never had ball joint issues on anything with a grease zirk.
