Problem

The grease fittings for the universal joints of certain D30D, D40D, D300B,
D350D, and D400D Articulated Dump Trucks are located between the arms rather
than in the center of the joint. This may make the grease fittings
inaccessible to some grease gun adapters.

Dear Caterpillar Product Owner:
The grease fittings for the universal joints of the products listed below may

Contact your local Caterpillar dealer immediately and schedule a time to have
this service performed. The repair time for this service is approximately
ten hours on two axle articulated dump trucks and sixteen hours on three axle
articulated dump trucks.
We regret the inconvenience this may cause you, but urge you to have this
service performed as soon as possible to prevent unscheduled downtime.
