Lucas 5th Wheel and Slider Lube

Yeah the one thing I don't like about it is that it is too runny. It's a good
product just not thick enough.

I rather use grease in the tubes for my fifth wheel. It's good and thick and
will not drip off.

 

Using the stuff, it is ok, but i havent found the "perfect" stuff for fifth wheels. Like has been said, runny in the summer, cant get it out of the bottle in the winter if it is cold. A good tacky grease with moly works good also. If anyone has the perfect fifth wheel goo, i would like to hear about it....

 

How much of the stuff do you put on? Sounds like your using motor oil? I never had it run off like that.....

 

The stuff does thin out when hot, but it shouldnt be that thin. Good warm day i would compare it to the thinkness of honey.
Send Lucas a bit*h letter. Maybe they will give you a credit towards another bottle?

 

I had some it was the same way. You had to put it on and hurry up and hook up a trailer or it all ran off. Switched back to grease. Seems the same as other Lucas products, all hype.

 

The Lucas is to be used in conjunction with your grease on the fifth wheel, not in lieu of it. Clean the excess grease off the fifth wheel, apply new grease filling in the crevasses on the fifth wheel, run a couple days to let the grease get worked in then apply Lucas over the grease. It will make a big difference in ride. You will notice it being smoother, especially in turns. It also provides long term performance in keeping your alignment straight and wear and tear on suspension and steering parts.

Just can't use it on its own.
