(in Chapter 4)
The same manuals have the following instructions in Chapter 0, General Lubrication (1/2 ton trucks):
- Universal joint . . . receives lubrication from the transmission. Additional lubrications is not necessary.
- This type of lubrication is on 1/2 ton vehicles.
- The universal joint housing should be filled through the pipe plug hole for initial lubrication after a repair operation.
go figure - either way should work - watch for drips (fill as deemed necessary - either way/level )
