Steering box lube and door tag question
I have a good replacement manual steering box but I want to make sure it has fresh lube before I install it. Question, grease or gear lube?
Also my warranty plate shows F100AB81 my color code is "F" which is some sort of light blue. My code book of Ford ID numbers does not show a color code F for 65 F series. It does correctly show the 81 as conventional cab but the AB is not listed under the interior trim code. I think this one used to have a padded dash from the factory. It is a custom cab.
Thank's all,

You have a rebuilt box with new seals. What does the rebuilder recommend... Penright makes a steering box lube. That's what I would use in a "new" box. The picker head grease acts like an oil at temps so it will flow but sets up when cold, exactly what's wanted in a leaky, tired steering box. It will work fine, too. Hope this helps.

I found this grease that is a lithium base and is not real thick but not too thin. It is tacky.
Lucas Red N Tacky #2. Six bucks a tube.

I'm going to try it in my box. Good for 540 degrees F.

Amazon has it, eBay, etc. Brick and mortar stores are in trouble, why bother wasting fuel driving around for something they can't even find? Anyway.

It's easy to click to buy it now or whatever but you have to wait for the parcel to arrive and pay shipping as well.
I only buy on the internet if I can't purchase locally or if I purchase something I don't really need on evil bay.
But I know what you mean but it gives me a chance to get out for a while.
Cheers
