    So I just inherited almost 3 full cases of the stuff. Have never used this particular grease in any application. I know Lucas works well with some of there products but wanting 2 see if anyone has used or been using this on there truck...

    I have been using it for a long time. I like it it stays put does not seem to wash off easily. Does not get runny. I think it is a good product.

    I use it all the time. No issues. I started using it due to it's high dropping point. I also get it at a great price. 2.99 a tube.

    Pardon my ignorance. This is 5th wheel grease? If so, can I use it if another type of grease is on the 5th wheel?

    You can use it on your fifth wheel if you like. I usually use cheaper black grease for fifth wheel. Red and Tacky is for greasing the rest of the truck. Red grease is better suited for items that get hotter and you want the grease to stay where it needs to be. Like universal joints.
