It, too, requires a larger buy, but Mobil 1 red synthetic grease is available a lot of places, and only a single tube is the minimum. It has VERY good properties, and easily meets the spec.

Red font means you're done, blue font means you have the zerk, black font means you're waiting in line.


#1 Marv (SpringerPop), Sean (wpnaes), Trey (A/Ox4)
#2 Neil (njeer1)

#4 Rob (rb8484)
#5 Aaron (grec-o-face)
#6 Dean (Bigpapa346)
#7 Tom (WE3ZS)
#8 Dee (Daz00Excursion)

With USPS, it costs about $2 to send to the next guy. Don't forget to sign the notebook inside with your insightful philosophy! Or just handy tips

This is a good idea. Red vs. blue. It makes it much easier to track the status. Great thinking!!!

Two pieces.....it's the 2000 model Power Stroke Diesel door emblem from F250/350..........ordered them from Ebay.... and put them there instead of on the door....liked them better there....since Ex's come unbadged.

Great idea! Love seeing people helping people!

List doesn't look to long otherwise I would offer to machine out another fitting to put into circulation.
