A while back there were some discussions on chassis grease and compatibility. I think Ford calls for a moly grease. A lot of people here started using Mobil 1 red synthetic grease, including me. Then the compatibility talk started, and I don't recall the details. So what are you using, and if I switched to Mobil 1 synthetic the last few times should I just stay with that?
Those battery powered grease guns are the cats meow. I have a dewalt 20v one I use at work daily. Had it 7 years now and never had a issue with it. Quick calculation shows I've put over 1000 tubes of grease through it. lol
found something useful today,
Backhoes have a LOT of pressure on their bearing surfaces,
I think I will start using this high Moly content on my Kubota's backhoe....
Nothing you'd have to grease on a light duty rig like this will require anything more special than whatever you'd find on the shelf such as Red N tacky. 4 grease zerks on a steering rack and those don't require much to fill the rubber boots. Greaseable ball or u-joints are bad idea IMO. Stick with the sealed OEM style ones. Been there done that. Slip yoke...shouldn't need to if it was packed properly and the boot is clamped on both ends and not torn (otherwise some repair is needed.) I do use a special heavy duty moly grease for ball hitches. I don't know what they used on the front wheel bearings last time since I had a shop do it, but I'd use a good quality synthetic like amsoil for that if I was doing it myself. If I could I'd convert the front hubs to oil bath like you can on a Dexter trailer axle and like what you see on a heavier duty truck. They never even run warm even running down the interstate for hours though like grease packed trailer hubs will.
