I only found 2 zerk fittings on my runner. After searching here, I see that there are 6 of them. I greased up the 2 that I found. One on the front of the drive shaft and one on the back of the drive shaft. When I greased up the back, it only took a few pumps before it started oozing out. On the front, however, it was a different story. I pumped a good amount in but never saw any grease ooze out anywhere. Is it possible to pump to much grease in?

I've already figured out that I have 6 zerk fittings. What I'm really after is if it is possible to over fill the zerk fitting on the front of the drive shaft. I understand now that there are 3 on the front and 3 on the back. The one I'm concerned about is the front zerk fitting that is easiest to locate. I pumped a lot of grease in there and never saw any grease seep out anywhere. Shouldn't I see grease seep out somewhere?

You said that you only found 2 out of 6, therefore I'm pointing out location of other 4.
Spiders take little of MP No2, while Slider Yoke may take a lot of MP Moly based. If you overfill Spiders you'll sling stuff all over but no harm done. If Slider gets too much grease it may bust out the dust seal on compression stroke when you hit the bump or stomp on gas or brakes. It'll take a lot of grease to do any damage. When Sliding yoke lubed you wont see grease coming out because of dust shield (just give it 4-7 pumps and leave it). I hope this helps.
