    Hey everyone, just thought I'd share this one. If you have closed knuckles and want to keep them filled with oil, but even 140 weight gear oil is too thin to stay put try this. EP grease from CaseIH or New Holland. I think they use it in tractor knuckles, but anyhow it has the consistency of gear oil mixed with a lithium based wheel bearing grease. It works great in slowing down those leaky knuckles. I put it in my front Dana 70 closed knuckles, and they don't leak at all now, but is still a liquid and will ooze its way into the Ujoints and knuckle bearings much better than straight grease would.

    Enjoy,

    Frank.
