On a 6x6 you have to get psyched up and prepared for the middle chunk swap. Need solid prep to prevent sudden death by chunk. Large trans jack needed or gantry. Locker will be placed in middle chunk. Have 2 lockers.
Crickets for a reason. Have not done mine yet. The dry run does not require them.
More important things were done like:
All silicone hoses replaced
Radiator flushed
Thermostat replaced
ALL fluids in engine, trans, diffs with synthetic
Driveshafts balanced
U Joints replaced
AC installed
All...
I would say that keeping the grease zerks always greased would likely reduced the wear on the yolks and other parts. I would use synthetic since they tend to be more tacky and are not as likely to get rinsed out.
Everyone was a Newbie themselves once. No one is pre-programmed at the factory. It is a honor to teach. Contrasting opinions are ok if done respectfully.
I have not seen the rock hard plastic issue with any of my vehicles. I have however seen the Southern sun destroy rubber blades though. This is why I went to silicone blades. They will outlast rubber ones 10 to 1.
