How often do you lube?

Mine only get it every 20k but if I was an owner op with one truck I would probably do every other week. So, 5000 to 6000 miles. I don’t see any benefit to more then that.

 

It’s not going to hurt anything. You’ll just have to watch out for excess grease. I use a old trigger style gun,it makes it easy to feel when a joint is getting full.

 

Usually once a month, unless I decide to be productive and actually do some driving then I will do it after 3 weeks, Usually only do ~1500 miles a week

 

Same... but I'm ~600 miles a week. I can say I've never had a lubrication related failure though.

 

Every oil change at 12k miles

 

My maintenance varies. I try to lube the truck and trailer every month, I try to do u joints every two weeks, oil changes are 12k miles.

 

What type of grease do you use and do you use different types for different parts?

 

Lucas Red n Tacky. Youtube Project Farm, he breaks down cheap grease to the expensive in one of his videos.

 

Greased the old man's trucks top to bottom every weekend. Driveline mid-week. By the time you factor in a new inter-axle shaft, ABS valve, airbags, yokes, labour and downtime you could easily buy enough grease to last a few years.
