Had never heard of it before but being in something as simple as a hub where there is little to no pressure in the lube other than what is built from temperature change I imagine it would work

I've tried a few Lucas products. Not a believer. Tried their power steering stop leak and it didn't do SFA. I'll pour a little bit of their stabilizer in my pickup at oil change time but I know #### well the only reason it quiets anything down is because it just thickens the oil a bit. Would probably get the same results by switching from 5W-20 to 5W-30 lol.
Shawn2130 and Diesel Dave Thank this. -
Your experience is waaay different with mine.
I had over 300,000 on a 3302 in a lincoln town car that had been doing the rattling thing upon startup for way over a hundred thousand miles, someone told me that lucas would stop that and it did. I sold it with 37,000 on it and it had never rattled again.
I blew a seal out of my gearbox coming out of Alaska once, it would drain my power steering empty in a couple hundred miles. I bought enough lucas to fill it up and had a gear box shipped up to great falls MT, that lucas got me to iowa, where I loaded and back to great falls where I put a new one on.mhyn Thanks this. -

So I’ve been putting 15w-40 since 210,000. She just rolled over 240,000. Still quiet except for the exhaust manifold that just opened up.....
Yes a new engine may have been what it should have had, but who has $6000 to put in a $2000 truck? Am I a fan of Lucas? not really, but understanding how everything works is beneficial and I can see its place.AModelCat and Cattleman84 Thank this. -
Does the 2014 volvo vnl 780 truck have a coolant filter and of so where is it located?
