Stupid lube question
Okay, I'm a champ at replacing all the fluids and basic maintance up-keep. BUT, I still need to go to the stealership for all joints and fittings to be lubed. I just do not know what (and where) needs to be re-lubed. :pat: And the type of grease to use. Is there a diagram anywhere that shows all the points to go at? Or does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for not laughing too loud.

EDIT: I forgot to mention the zerks that lube the slip yokes too.

Hey city kid, if you can buy Chevron Delo or any other type of EP grease. Ep=Extreme Pressure, or extreme duty grease. The consistency is greater, will provide better lube for a longer time and will reduce wear. It won't be as useless as say a cheap "red-tack" grease. Both at work (John Deere 450 and Case 921, Excavators and FE Loaders) and home I use EP. Cheap grease is thin and near useless, not totally but close. Others may argue, but just be sure to grease, regardless of the type.
I grease my vehicles at least once a month. I am in SW Fla and work in a fill pit, sand and rock.

How often should one grease the driveshafts, every 5k or 10k

anything besides the zerks on the driveshafts that need to be greased, I counted 6 is that right or did I miss some

I would grease about every 5 k or anttime I have encountered water deep enough to hit the driveshafts/steering components. My 71 Landcruiser has 13 grease fittings I can think off.
I use an exstreme pressure synthetic grease as it "clings" better to the parts I grease and doesn't wash off.
