grease

Hey all, Im just curious as to whats the best grease to throw in my gun for my drive line ? For lubing up the U-Joints and front end components. I have been using Lucas in the white tube its a extreme duty or hd grease for farming and heavy equipment. Just wondering if this is good to use on the U_Joints. Haven't greased them in a while and was going to tackle it this week. Just want to makes shure I'm using the right stuff.

I use Valvoline grease that is formulated to meet Ford specs.

currently using Mob 1 Synthetic, I used to use Ronex MP (Exxon) but it's tough to find now-days. Really just find one that lists the Ford spec on it and go. More important is "how you grease" than what you grease with as long as you are using a quality grease.

Amsoil Series 2000 Synthetic Racing Grease. Best grease you can buy, I use it on everything I own.

I ended up going with Lucas " Red and Tacky" has a good Drop point right near 600*. Also meets our specs. THanks for all the input y'all.

I got the red'n'tacky in my gun right now. Just put in, though, and have only gone through once. But its a lithium complex base grease so at the worst it should still be good enough.

Red and Tacky is a good grease as well. I used that stuff for years until I found out about the Amsoil Racing grease.
