How often do you grease the entire truck

One thing that ought to be mentioned is that you want to go easy on the s cams and throw out bearing. Too much grease can get on to clutch surface and brake shoes. Two pumps is plenty in these areas.

Also, frequency is more important than quantity in my opinion.

 

Once a week. I spend a fair amount of time "off road" in construction sites/landfills/gravel pits etc.

Good opertunity to crawl around underneath and have a look. Got a small 12t bottle jack to lift one side at a time on the front to grease the kingpins. Pump till clean grease comes out everywhere. TO bearing gets one pump (that's what the sticker on the transmission said, it's long since fallen off lol). Having a heated shop makes it enjoyable, the truck JUST fits inside (with the rails partially up to get under the bottom shelf on the rack at the back). Can't really move around it, but I'm only gonna be under it anyway lol

 

True, I only hit throw out bearing once every few months.

 

Had to drive around an inter-axle just a couple days ago. Truck sitting on side of road quarter mile up the road. That's a sad feeling. For him.

 

BEST QUALITY GREESE,ANYBODY?

 

We use Mystic red

 

Usually use an EP2 grease in summer and an EP1 grease in winter.

 

Castrol Pyroplex blue....

So far so good lol

 

I have grown fond of Schaeffer greases and oils for the last few years. I generally grease my truck every 5000 miles with oil changes at 20-25,000 miles.

 

They make a good product.
