Zerk Fittings

Is it my imagination or are the Zerk fittings on the 1999 F-250 Super Duty 7.5 Turbo Diesel smaller, or is my grease gun coupler worn out?

Smaller than what Kawboy?
Try your gun on another fitting from another vehicle and determine if your adapter is worn. Also keep in mind that the Super Duty does not have many zerk fittings and a needle adapter should be used for items that do not have zerks.
You also should know that if your ride is equiped with a two piece driveshaft, the slip yoke does not have a zerk, and removal of the boot is required (same for front).
I use a special blue Ford PTFE grease for these, but they do nooed to be greased also.
