What do you use (brand) to lube your steering linkage and other associated parts underneath your truck? I'd especially like to hear from the folks who live where it gets cold! Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. BTW, I'd be more than happy to send you some of this 20 degree crap here in New England.

Monsta,
I live in Michigan. I use valvoline semi-synthetic grease in everything from boat trailer bearings, Kubota Tractor, Snowmobiles, and my 2 Ford Trucks....and the wifes Jeep. It is a do everything grease. It's a lot cheaper than Mobil 1 grease and does just a good of job. I guess if you live at the North/South Pole Mobil 1 might be worthwhile.
I got tired of having 3 different grease guns all with different DINO greases, thats is why I chose semi-syn.
