I've noticed several new grease fittings on my 2003 4WD Silverado. The manuals used to list the location of these fittings and I'd hate to miss one. Anybody seen a location chart?

Not sure about the 2003's but the 01 and 02 trucks have 11 fittings. They are all on the front area ahead of the tranny. There was a post with pics of all the locations. Not sure who took them but it is here. :D :D :D

The fittings on the lower balljoints are easy to miss. My local GM tech. missed them. I believe my 2003 had 11

There are 11 fittings on the trucks

2 - Upper ball joints
2 - Lower ball joints
2 - Outer tie rod ends
2 - Inner tie rod ends
2 - Idler arm (one on top and one on the ball joint)
1 - Pittman arm

It is easy to miss one of the two on the idler arm assembly

I'll try to find photos.......

Here they are:
