That's not good. I never paid attention to what grease I was using. I JUST put in (and greased) new bushings in Jessicas HZJ-73. Doh! my 61 and 55 have them too. Not really wanting to pull the bushings to clean them and swap in moly grease, but may have to.

Paul, OME instructions tell you to use molybdenum grease.
I use this on poly bushings now after having this issue on multiple trucks.

I installed a new rear drive shaft today. I believe the old shaft was made incorrectly and was causing a vibration.
I had one of their drive shafts made…those guys were super helpful, and very quick to turn around and ship…AND, everything went back together perfectly

Regrettably I did not know about Tom Woods when I had the old shaft made. Initially I was displeased with that shaft and started looking outside of my geographical location for other options. They did make my front shaft.

PSA: check your body mounts.
I used Energy Suspension products body mount kit when I built this truck. When I was installing the new drive shaft a few weeks ago I noticed the passenger side rear cab mount had rotated from the original installation position. So I checked the bolt and it was loose. No biggie. Then I checked the rest of the cab mounts, they were all loose. Except for the passenger side front mount, that bolt was missing
. Even the step mounts were loose. I removed and reinstalled all of the front bolts with Red Thread lock. I only have 13k miles on the truck Don’t misunderstand, I’m not complaining about the Energy product, I think it’s typical of all urethane products. This is the first time I have used this type of body mount, so it was new to me that you needed to check them after installing and using for a while.
