Pat it appears to be reacting to the lube itself.

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.

Has this been shared with OME?

Paul, OME instructions tell you to use molybdenum grease.

I use this on poly bushings now after having this issue on multiple trucks.

I think someone tagged you looking for some insight on OME spring bushing grease. What grease should be used with these bushings?

There is a new die cast on the market, for those interested.

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.
