I had to look up what a corn head is...turns out it's a farm machinery gearbox. The grease is not made from corn! Who knew?
Anyway I'm in. Is the stuff compatible with regular EP gear oil?
It has been suggested a gearbox gets flushed first. I know some greases don’t play well with each other, I believe that has more to do with the type of thickener.

Hey Abe, How did you drain it? Through a low bolt hole on the front cover?
I should have said the F350 box was not in the truck so I turned it upside down and drained it into a basin. I don't know the best way to drain it while still in your truck.
How do we know if the corn head grease mixes well with the old ?
So in the end I think I won't use the corn head grease. I read that it is designed to become somewhat fluid when it is worked/agitated in moving machinery, but steering box internals aren't really in constant motion. Also, in my mind, bushings need a more fluid lubricant to stay happy, and the CHG doesn't pass this test. So I am gonna go with the Pennrite Steering Box Lube which is a 1200w which flows a little better and gets good reviews with regards to not leaking out. It's probably similar to the 00 grade stuff that Abe used. I'll post up what I discover when I try to get it into the box.
