Greasing
Just bought me an 02 F-250 crewcab 4x4 this past weekend. never had a vehicle before with grease fittings all over the front end. what type of grease do you guys use and how often do you need to grease everything. Thanks

surely at some point, all be them potentially different points, it is fitting for us all. Especially when it comes to the prices of guns!! (for me anyway)

Grease
I'm using RONEX MP from Exxon - been very happy w/ it. Meets a bunch of heavy truck (Mack/Volvo/Navistar) requirements for operating life, load shearing req's, etc. The main thing is to choose a grease that meets or exceeds the Ford spec listed in the manual - I always try to hit the exceed side of the mark when I can. This is really important especially if your oil change intervals are out @ the 5-6K or 6month range - you need a grease that can last that long since most people don't lube btw oil changes - some of the thinner greases will be gone after 4-5 months leaving you w/o lubrication and stuff will wear at a quicker rate.
I'm having some difficulties finding it right now. The local Advance Auto/Autozone's used to carry it all the time and now they suddenly seem to have stopped carrying it. They are only carrying some generic junk that I'd never use on anything I cared about.
