    I don’t want to put in the wrong grease, so I want to be certain.

    There is 2 types of grease for our trucks.
    Balljoint - NLGI Grade 2 W/3%molly (black)
    Drive shaft - Red N' Tacky#2

    Sorry if this question is asked in just unclear with the replies from other threads

    That will work.

    That rear zerk on the front driveshaft is fun to get to if you haven’t worked the puzzle before.

    Yes it’s a bit of a pain. Not as painful as LCA zerk.
    Now I don’t have 2 guns to hold 2 different grease types.

    Am I able to use the black one (on photo) on Balljoints and drive shaft until it empties?

    I don’t have 2 guns either.
    I use Lucas Red n Tacky in everything.
    That said, do NOT do what I do. Laziness is no excuse. But it’s “my” excuse.

    JBA says not to use Red n Tacky in the control arms.
