5th wheel grease

Here's my solution for keeping my 5th wheel lubricated...


I simply get more grease every time I'm at the terminal....and it's FREE

 

Try some Lucas slider lube. It doesn't take as much and lasts longer than grease.

it says clean and easy but it's some really sticky stuff, make sure the bottle stays upright and doesn't fall over, it will leak out and make a nasty mess.

 

Here are other solutions..







I kind of prefer these greaseless options

 

Since I grease all the grease fittings myself it's just as easy to do the plate with the gun. But whatever works for each person is grest.

 

i buy the walmart red stuff and dab some on in the sports where it's gone or at first contact when sliding under the trailer. i see people put grease on like they are putting glaze on a roll and 2/3 thirds goes on the catwalk or ground first time they slide under a trailer.....

 

I've seen the auto-greaser system that greases all the zirks that are somewhat stationery...I wonder if the have a system that would connect to a special 5th wheel that has grease ports in the plate so every so often a squirt of grease gets pumped up there and all you have to do is keep the reservoir filled.

 

Me undoing a few years neglect on a 5th wheel. The rock grooves were packed solid.
I use moly graphite grease.
