    Yes I have searched. Ive read our trucks have 5 zerks if I remember correctly and Im trying to figure out which grease I can use. I work at a chemical plant and have access to chevron ulti plex synthetic ep, chevron moly ep2, and krytox (very expensive). Would any of these be ok to do the driveshafts and bearings? Thanks

    You should go by the U-joint manufacturer recommendations.
    Spicer makes the Ujoint int he Tacoma. They make quality product and own Dana.

    Spicer recommends Mystik JT6 hi-temp grease in the Tacoma U-joints : https://www.amazon.com/Mystik-665005002080-Multi-Purpose-Hi-Temp-Cartridge/dp/B00TPA9J0I

    Per: http://www.docs.citgo.com/msds_pi/591094.pdf

    Spicer Universal Joint Division of Dana Corporations has approved Mystik JT-6 Hi-Temp Grease CLASSIFICATION: (Code 665005002) as having met M-2006-J specification for Hi-Temperature Lubricant

    And that's find with me. The Mystik grease is used in $1M mining and farming equiment, so it's good enough for my $30k Tacoma in my book.

    Yeah I know others will come and recommend other greases too. Again and again the order of Amsoil Witsnesses will relentlessly attempt to convert you to their creed.

    But why bother with anything else when the manufacturer approved Mystik JT6 grease costs only $3 a tube.
