1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Pretty much, but that also leads to more rattling in the cab....

 

if your truck were a person

 

Let’s everyone know I’m on the way, so they can get out of way if I arrive in pieces.

 

It's what I used on my Whiteline LCA bushings.

 

Also your truck...

 

Read somewhere that Alcan springs is putting their business up for sale...so I went ahead and placed the order for new leaf springs that I've been going back and forth on for forever now. If they end up selling the company then who knows what might happen with their quality/reputation, wanna make sure I get a set of springs from them before that happens.

I swear this better be the last set of leaf springs I buy for a long damn time lol

 

We talking the white/clear SuperLube stuff? I got some of that and while it works, it seems to melt when it gets hot. Do I have the wrong shit?

 

I haven't bought it before, I have the Energy suspension stuff right now but it's also white/clear and extremely sticky and thick. Haven't really checked it out when it gets hot though so I can't say

 

I just noticed it got soft and runny in the tub last summer here in Tucson when it was hot. Wasn't very impressed with that. More often than not I use either Valvoline full synthetic wheel bearing grease or some red, full synth grease I found at Vatozone. It actually works good, I use it on the OME shackles in the rear and all the zerk fitting I can find.

SuperLube I have -

$18 Super Lube 41160 Synthetic Grease (NLGI 2), 14.1 oz Canister, Translucent White

I was curious too, I always thought lithium is what you want, then I looked it up and TC recommends Grease with ptfe in it. I use a moly lithium grease. It doesnt melt like the super lube lithium does.

 

Daystar and Energy suspension both recommend a silicone based PTFE grease, probably the same kind of thing TC recommends

@Empty_Lord

 

Day star or energy suspension.

move used super lube before. But it just didn’t last as long.

 

Yes

 

Looks like that actually is the wrong stuff. Looked it up on Super Lube's website and this is what you actually want to get -

$32 Super Lube High Temp EP Grease, 400g

https://www.amazon.com/Super-Lube-71160-Translucent-Accessories/dp/B001VXXJ5I

This is the 71160 stuff. The first link I posted is for the 41160 stuff which is not high-temp nor EP rated. 71160 is.

 

Also available in cartridge tubes for grease guns -

$45 Super Lube 71150 High Temperature E.P. Grease, 14.1 oz Cartridge , White

https://www.amazon.com/Super-Lube-71150-Temperature-Cartridge/dp/B000J4GYH0

 

Red N Tacky is good for everything right

 

Not poly bushings.

 

I thought this disease only plagued 1st gen Tacoma owners... Clean ride but bruh if it doesn't have a cummins in it for that year and price, then you're smoking some shit to think the price is ok

Interesting. Well looks like I will try that out next time i need more grease. Tc recommends this no silicone, but has ptfe
