TW recommends #1, as far as I can see. I’ll check this out when I get to my computer and see what I can figure out. It appears the TW linked grease is discontinued as I can’t find it anywhere.

Thought when I did the critical speed math it was like 110mph with 3:73 gearing not 90mph, which is where the limiter is already.

Then again @Colo_Ranger wheels so hard he's regeared his whip so his critical speed is probably like 55mph...

Somebody call Sammy Hagar

I do have 4.88 gears.

Come on... that's just a fun title.

Anyway - I have the Tom Woods driveshaft and its time to lube the slip joint. Tom Woods recommends Phillips 66 Multiplex 220 #1 but is sold out. I tried searching Google for alternate retailers but they, too, are sold out.

I read online and Super Lube seems like a good option. Is there anything else I should be looking at? A mechanic friend recommended silicon based, but TW recommends calcium sulfonate. Google is coming up short on options in calcium sulfonate so... I am taking other opinions.


If you've used a good grease, I would love a recommendation.

Mobilgrease cm-L, Grease, NLGI 1, 14oz
$13.87 at Amazon

Works great. Been using it for 2 years now in my TW driveshaft. I fill it until I see it oozing out the scrubber seal around the spline teeth.

That’s number 2 grease. TW recommends #1. The link won’t hold the choice of 2 vs 1, when I paste it here.

Some people just should not be allowed to own a vehicle.

Or procreate. Hopefully he hasn't already polluted the gene pool.

Don't worry about brands, just get NLGI #1, industrial supply shops like Grainger and maybe HD truck shops will have it.

ok, thanks. When I started this thread, I was looking for experienced recommendations, but my research has lead me to this conclusion. Amazon has Mobil1 NGLI #1, so that’s probably what I’ll go with.

I didn't take you for being new around here.... But I guess I was wrong. ? ? ?

I am not sure I'd want to take my truck, much less his, above 90mph with all the... treasure... strapped to it... ?

The Mobil brand that I recommended is #1, not #2. It has the same specs as Phillips or any other brands, and is readily available for much less. My experience is that it is hard to find a tube for less than $20.

#2 is much too thick.
