- We discuss the different types of general use grease out there and the difference between Lithium and Calcium Greases.
Great information josh. Keep the videos coming.
I have been worried about people greasing my truck so just today went and bought me a air supply grease gun to grease it myself thanks for the info on the greases
Of all the service checklist items that have the risk of being ignored, greasing all the zerks is the most common one. :( People haaaaaaaaaate greasing all the fittings and contact points that need it to be done regularly. Many of the lazy techs/shops try hard to get away with skipping it if they look and see that any quantity of grease is already present and seems to be clean and plentiful. If the customer makes a big deal about the greasing before handing over the keys, it'll usually get done. If you become well known at the shop for crawling under and checking to make sure it was done, they will almost always make damn sure it's done and done well. It should NOT be this way, but people are people and they will take any clear and relatively safe shortcut they feel like they can get away with taking. 🙄 Been there, done that. I did passenger car and truck service and almost all of them now are devoid of any grease fittings at all. Trucks may still have ones on the U joints, but that's it. You are making a really good choice buying your own gun and making sure the grease is applied when it oughta be applied. 👌
Another great video from my favorite diesel youtuber.
Polyurea on wheel bearings, molly on open bearings greased daily ( farm )and lithium complex on everything else.
I sincerely Love your videos. They are extremely informative and your professionalism adds to the quality oft he video💯 thank you.
The squeaky wheel gets greased!
Love your channel brother! 👍
nice vids
not many people using moly grease :)
for me moly is like insurance, when the "wet lubricant" compromised, at least u still have "dry" lubricant to save the day
I have looked into automotive greases, and Ford calls for one type of grease, and everybody else calls for another. Valvoline Durablend says it is good for Ford and non-Ford applications. That would make it a perfect match for any class B, B+, or C RV.
I've been in the ag and excavation industry my whole life and the best grease that I've found is Lucas Red and Tacky for pins and bushings and the Lucas Xtra heavy duty grease for wheel bearings, u-joints and other fast moving components.
Clyde Acor just bought the hd Lucas , for dump trk application. Was using chevron red& tacky. It seems to wash out after a week.
@@Jerzeyguy I've used just about every grease out there from the cheap stuff to the high dollar mining grease and used it on everything from excavators, loaders, dump trucks, to my pickups and I've found that the Lucas lasts about twice as many runtime hours between greasing and I've had to do a lot less maintenance caused repairs due to wear by using their grease. It impressed me so much that I use nothing but their products. I get such a good deal on their products that I actually pay less than I did using other brands so I save money by not paying as much for products and I save money from not having as much downtime and repairs.
Clyde Acor That’s good to hear this is my first time with the Lucas Grease. Like you I’ve tried everything else the best stuff that are used to use which they don’t make it anymore was Dryden. Excellent can’t fight anymore
@@Jerzeyguy ya they don't make things like they used to. I've found that the Lucas red and tacky works good on things like pins and bushings on loaders and excavators because it's really sticky and the xtra heavy duty is a thinner grease but is rated a little bit higher temperature but it also works good on truck chassis. I'd just experiment between the two and see what works best for you that's what I did. Everyone's working conditions and applications are different, just have to do what works best for you.
Clyde Acor I’m going to use it on the whole Trk.
King pins to slacks.
I got chiiills, they're multiplying...
Oh shit, wrong Grease... sorry
Researched grease years ago Best i have found is texas refinery 880. 100 lb timkin load and stay's where I put it. They have better for extreme applications but general use I have not found better for equal or less money. Molly is good in non bearing applications but tends to gum up roller/ball bearings starving them .
Most slack adjusters on trucks no moly also
We switched toSchaefer’s a few years ago and it’s the best thing we ever did
Another awesome video Adept. Since you’re not in the truck shop as much anymore, are we ever going to get the final installments of the engine rebuild vids you were making? I think it was a C13 if I remember right.
I just want you to know dude I have traveled to Greece beautiful place
Every single time we talked about Greek history in school ALL I could think about was the taste and feel of olive oil in my mouth and the taste and smell of eating a Greek salad. 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe I'm just a psycho but it never fails. Greek discussion = greasy food thoughts.
Working for cat I didnt know all of that!! Thanks
Sometimes the high spec grease by the big companies don't add up. Worked in a landfill and they used citgo Molly....thought it was inferior when I first started and saw it but worked great on dozers scrapers.and grader...The truck shop used Shaffers premium lithium and it was a diaster....many components run dry...The Citgo was incredibly cheap grease but out preformed everything. You have to go by personal experience as many brands promise a lot by their specs but fall short in the real world. I could name many brands
in our Swecon shop (for volvo CE) we use the same lube for every machine, it got a EP value of 800. Work just fine.
I like moly gease on pins and bushings on loader arms that have a lot of pressure but don't heat much.
i use pro1 ep2 grease
,,, somewhat expensive, but I like Mobil full synthetic, a million one on the same u-joints .
Hmm I believe Mobil is an OEM of Caterpillar lubricants
Zeeshan Ahmad Exon Mobil probably has the lion’s share of most O.E. Supplied lubricants in the automotive, heavy equipment and class 8 trucks. They’re just so huge and can price so competitively that smaller suppliers can’t compete. Their products are also above average across the board too. They’re like the Toyota of the lubricant world.
I feel it’s important to note that while the OEM matters, with oils and greases it’s especially important to know about the additive package and standard (iso or SAE) to which it is manufactured.
Good video. I had no idea that there were that many different greases. I use bulk fill and don't have priming problems when I do use a hand pump grease gun
I've had good success with Jax products they have a wide line of food grade grease and lubricants that work well for us in the cranberry industry. They also have regular grease and it's made here in the states in Menomonie Falls Wisconsin.
Another great video! Thanks for the info.
Calcium sulfonate grease is good stuff but moly is not for everything. But both Hadlex and gunite warn against using grease with moly in auto slack adjusters because it could cause slippage of the one way clutch. This is probably true for all the other makes of auto slack as well since they all have internal one way clutch.
Not only that, moly should not be used in high speed applications, especially wheel bearings. Moly is a solid lubricant and any solids in a bearing caused premature wear.
What are some other good options for calcium solfonate grease besides cat?
John Travolta Olivia Newton John "Grease" is the word...
what grease you need to slick my hair back?
Excellent videos
Do one on CAT D7e electric dozer.
Thanks
Grease for hair? We call that hair tonic where I'm from. 😁
It’s a slick video. Great job. I have been trying to find out if you still sleep in a hammock? I am interested I. Trying this out but want to know first if it works long term. I have to do it in a truck sleeper if I try it.
Hey if you ever get a chance to get to Athens Greece it would be worth your while they have a lot of good things in Greece
Do you think Cat still makes good diesel engines? it seems like they are slipping a little lately on the newer stuff.
That was the 2007-2010 on-highway engines, wasn't it? They quit after all the troubles with the emissions systems.
Great info!
How do you identify a calcium sulfinate grease as opposed to a lithium based grease by reading the label ?
It will say on the tube from what I have seen.
Love the videos
Aren't grease thicknesses like engine oil viscosity, there is a right thickness and the rest are wrong? Never had a formal class so don't know, just asking.
Hey Josh where can I get that hat? had a quick Google, couldn't see it anywhere possibly because I'm in the UK
Lucas Red n Tacky or green 'Heavy Duty' for all around? This is what you find at every Loves, TA or J all over the country.
What's the best grease got caterpillar bobcat
Thank You 👍
On a c7 do you just jump water pump belt over . Or do you have to remove harmonic balancer
Good luck 🍀
got a CAT 318 that shoots oil out the exhaust, non turbo. what could cause that? it doesnt blow white smoke or anything it just slobbers about a gallon of oil out ever few hours
@The TacomaKid never 😬
Then there are some happy puppies right there.
I use Schaefers grease on my class 8 works perfect
Same here never had a problem.
What's everyone thoughts on zep flex lube?
How often should one grease ? Miles or #of days ?
Moreys big foot ep2 sticks like shit to a blanket my go to grease for everything
Is there any contact of this guy i need help with my air compresor 20r7296?
I've always used what ever grease is on sell, at the time of purchase.
How have you been?
Fisrt!!!!!!! 5EK for life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh no... no... no... Next up oil, politics, religion, sealed vs greasable u-joints... we drove straight off the cliff boys.
Just razzin ya Josh. Good information. Coming from an Ag background myself the first thing I learned is if deciding the perfect grease is stopping you from greasing you're doing it wrong. Any grease is better than no grease. Never witnessed a failure from the grease selection only the lack of it. Look forward to the Schaeffers and Amsoil comments.
Grease that 5th Wheel ! #biggerthegobthebetterthejob ;^)
How I choose grease, says grease. Good enough
Will you think about reconsidering this point of view? There are definitely right and wrong greases to use for different things. Just pumping whatever you pick off the shelf can do some serious harm over time. Mixing soaps is bad, and pumping in the wrong viscosity can also be harmful if it is too thin to stay and make a film or too thick to move and go where it's needed most.
you should change from cat to isx
Vitaliy Hafych why would he do that...
Red and tacky and the green Lucas grease are NOT compatible!!! Red is lithium complex a green is polyurea, do NOT mix them on wheel bearings or high heat, the grease WILL fail if mixed!!!
Grease is like motor oil, religion and politics. Great way to start a knock down, drag out slobber knocker interweb fist fight.
Maybe you can do some teaching videos. Show some symptoms, flash some codes and how you went about fixing it. You know, a good video.
what the @!#%
Do you have an email?
Ive gone years without greasing my components and no issues at all. Its a lie and a waste of money. Save your money!!
I hope your just trolling and not actually that dumb.
@@jaydunbar7538 - I am with you on that. Also, maybe those mentioned components have hardly been used all those years, so why grease them.
