I am in the process of upgrading the seats in my 2000 Silverado 1500 from manual to power seats. The power frames I am using are out of a 2002 Tahoe that had 285,000 miles (that I unfortunately wreaked) so they are well used but have never given me any trouble. Before I install the upholstery from the truck seats I would like to lubricate the mechanism to help it work smoothly for years to come.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what to use?
I have White lightning dry conditions chain lube that I often use for applications where I don't want it collecting dirt and I have Mobile 1 red wheel bearing grease which has served me well for years on car window regulators and of course I would be happy to buy something special for it since it isn't likely to get lubed again for the next 10 years.
I figure it will require 4 different lubes. One for the sliding mechanisms, one for the gears, one for the cables, and one for the motors. I am not positive the motors will be able to be lubed but if they do I usually use SUPCO zoom spout oil.
Any thoughts?
