    If I may revive this thread to ask a few of questions.
    How often do you grease/repack the wheel bearings? Is it necessary to jack up the wheels when greasing the wheel bearings? What supplies the oil bath in the front wheel bearings and what is the proper level? If my front (steer) wheel bearings are oil bath are the drives too? How do you check the level in drives wheel hubs?

    Drive wheel bearings are lubed by the gear lube in the differential. That is checked that it is up to the fill hole in differential. Front wheel bearings using hub oil (generally the same lube as in the differential), you have a sight glass to see the level, or at least a rubber end cap you can pull to check the level. I change my front hub oil every 100,000 miles.

    As for greasing chassis, I do that every 4000-5000 miles. I have generally been using Amsoil's synthetic truck grease. I still have a few tubes, but when that is gone I will be switching over to Schaeffer, which makes the oil I have been using for a while.
