5th wheel maintenance

Them crst guys are a special breed. I feel bad for the poor ####### that's gonna pickup that squeegee and proceed to smear 5th steel grease all over his windshield

 

That guy need his head bounced off the fifth wheel. Poor guy after stands the get grease all over not to mention scratching his glass with the crap off the wheel.

 

I really can't stand inconsiderate people.

 

I have never seen one cleaning his fifth wheel like that, but have seen morons cleaning their precious tanks countless times with them. I do not like diesel residue on my windshield either.

 

Try IH35 south of San Antonio to Laredo. Where the paperwork “Americans” clean their bodywork with the squeegee.

And then walk the fuel line to steal a new one on their way out after their 30-minute break is over. (Gotta keep the cab in the shade, hombre).

 

What’s a good grease to use on 5th wheels?

 

Good question. I am almost done with my 5 gallon can of actual fifthwheel grease. I have had it so l am not sure where I got it, and will be calling around looking for another can.

 

I use the red Lucas tube you can buy at Walmart. I’m happy with it. If you want to save a bit more money, Walmart also carries a cheaper red grease tube. I use a grease gun to grease my 5th wheel. With that same gun I grease my truck and trailer chassis every 10-20k miles.

 

I just squirt the stuff in the grease gun on there...or hand squeeze out the end of a nearly empty tube.
But if you use a squeegee to clean it you deserve a throat punch.
