The grease zerk manifold behind the drivers side front spring should have I do believe 5 zerks..... I forgot about the 2 (one on each side) on the clutch fork pivots half way up the sides of the flywheel housing.

Every truck is different, based on order specs and age of unit.So this is just a start..... You will have(going from memory as I owned a 2000 Peterbilt 379L about 15-17yrs ago): 1 or 2 on each brake s-cam tube(each wheel) 1 on each brake slack adjuster(each wheel) 2 front leaf spring shackle pins (rear of front leaf) each side 1 front spring pin(front of front leaf spring, right behind bumper)each side 1 output shaft of steering box 3 on steering shaft under hood (2 u-joints plus slip joint) 2 on drag link 2 tie rod ends steering king pins driveshaft u-joints and slip joints clutch throwout bearing(may either be hanging through inspection cover on bottom of flywheel housing or hose routed to group of grease zerks behind drivers side spring shackle)- do not over grease as this will contaminate your clutch brake making it not work. mechanical clutch linkage (inside frame under cab or hosed to group of grease zerks mentioned above)- only needs one shot per zerk hood hinges (if I recall correctly) Possibly engine fan clutch (yours should be new enough to be sealed for life) You may have more or less than what I have listed. For example it may have been ordered with Lubed For Life Driveline, which would eliminate u-joint and slip joint lube requirements.

If you are willing to part with some cash you could always do these: Rotogrip Automatic Tire Chains or Onspot Automatic Tire Chains or Instachain Automatic Tire Chains They do reduce clearance requirements above but may need some more if you have low hanging tool/storage boxes. Oh....and as you may have guessed they are not cheap, but incedibly convenient- just flip a switch.

Try calling Brokerlink in Calgary at 403.278.8811 ask for Susan. When we first got our Class 8 motorhome conversion we were having problems finding coverage (either affordable or at all) and she knew exactly what we had going on and was able to have us affordable, short term coverage to get our unit home while she setup our permanent coverage.They work with many insurance companies and can probably set you up. As an aside you may want to consider having the commercial fifth wheel hitch and trailer airlines/power cord removed before pickup as this may be enough to take you out of the "commercial" world and make it a "personal" vehicle.
