    Ford Grease in GM

    It gets more interesting. The owner's manual for a similar S10 truck states to use Quote: wheel bearing lubricant meeting requirements of NLG Grade 2, Category GC or GC-LB , which the Ford grease meets them. They do not say anything about moly specifically. But the real kicker is that the...

    Adding a higher type of ATF to older ATF

    So, I don't have to drain the old fluid, I can mix the two, just to make sure I understand you correctly?

    Adding a higher type of ATF to older ATF

    It is definitely automatic transmission fluid. The only part I can't remember if it is Dexron II or Dexron III. I am pretty sure it is the III. I don't have the manual with me right now. I just don't know about mixing different grades of fluid.

    Adding a higher type of ATF to older ATF

    No, not really tied to synthetic. I just have some Valvoline Dexron-VI Full Synthetic ATF, VV370 sitting around, that I would like to use on it.

    Adding a higher type of ATF to older ATF

    Years ago I filled up the 1991 Chevrolet S10 manual transmission with AAMCO Synthetic Blend Mercon V ATF (exceeds Dexron III/Mercon). At least that is what I think I used. I believe the truck calls for Dexron III. I can't get that fluid anymore. Can I add Valvoline Dexron-VI Full Synthetic...

    Ford Grease in GM

    It seems there are different opinions on the moly grease in bearings out there. Although most seem to be against using it. It would be interesting to see if someone actually had flat spots on their bearing rollers. I have not found any yet. Although I found some vague mention of this in needle...

    Ford Grease in GM

    http://www.lubrication.com.au/case-study/bearing-skidding Hmm, this article talks of skidding at low loads. With front wheel bearings there is nearly constant load on the bearings, I think. So, GM and Ford have different opinions on the moly-induced skidding?

    Ford Grease in GM

    I am thinking of using Valvoline Moly-Fortified Multi-Purpose Ford Grease, VV632, for front wheel bearings on a Chevy S10 2WD. I like the sound of having molybdenum for extra protection. Looking at the datasheet, it is rated NLGI GC-LB, which should make it acceptable. But it differs from the...

    So, it's ok to add a bottle of Techron to the Seafoam I have in it now?

    Mixing Techron with Seafoam

    That is what I will do if I have to. I am trying to get out of paying $40 for a gasket set.

    Mixing Techron with Seafoam

    I aim to check the fuel pressure shortly. It may well be the problem, but I figure, if there is no harm in it the fuel system could use a good cleaning anyway. Or is it too much cleaning power all at once and might damage something? Could a dirty fuel pressure regulator cause low pressure? As...

    Mixing Techron with Seafoam

    I am working on a S10 truck with throttle body fuel injection system. The problem I have is that the injectors drip gas and not spray it, and the truck will not start. The truck has sat for about 1 year without being started. I drained most of the old gas and put new gas in it. I currently have...
