How often do you grease the entire truck

Your driveline is turning lot more than the wheels and ofcorse the u-joints move because of the misalignment ,if they where In line they would wear out quickly ,suppost to be out of line, but I agree with the other posts .a couple shots often is better than a lot in a great while, I generally grease the most moveable items in correlation to the shots of grease and frequent times. Your throw out bearing doesnt have any pressure unless the clutch peddle is in-

Exactly like go kiddogo said,grease is so much cheaper than parts,you're stupid not to grease certain components weekly,or at least biweekly.i take a stroll under mine every single weekend with a MANUAL grease gun.after awhile you'll get to know what needs grease and what doesn't by the way it "takes".a loose component will take grease with little to no pressure indicating a possibly tired part.great opportunity to look at what really matters anyway,the drive line and "business end-of-life your ride.keep doing what you're doing.

 

15K mile oil changes, I go over every hardpoint reachable by grease gun when I get it back from the shop. I check each one to make sure mechanic got em all. 5th wheel gets grease pads that break when hooking to a fresh trailer. I carry a box of them ready to go.

Greasing a big truck is fun. Greasing a CAT 936 Front end loader prior to a day's work even more funner.

 

Grease every weekend never lifted wheels for kingpins and never had front end issues. Throw out bearing 2 shots once a month I do lots of off-road and this recipe seems to work fine. Lubemaster red ep2 summer ep1 in winter. Slacks and cams get white lithium grease

 

You could crib it.

Example.Jack it two feet. (Paraphrasing here.. bear with me) Stick a block of strong wood a foot high until your wheels rest on that or frame rather. Reposition jack on it's own block of wood and proceed to jack it to 4 feet. Crib the large lumber now. Forming a box frame square under the frame of vehicle.

Houses are raised this way, a foot at a time.

 

This is also a good opportunity to grab the driveline and check for play in the u-joints and carrier bearings.
