Dry lube

[Marcosz]

Dry lube use?

It is wise to use dry lube, gears, couplings, reducing wear?

Dear Marcosz,
I use 3-In-One Dry Lube on the center Diff. pinion gears, all adapter cups and all ball end rods.
Another product I use is Moo-Slick #077 Silicone Protector on shock joints at the shock towers and all king pin joints.

I spray a thin coat on the black plastic wait a few seconds and then wipe off, looks great and protects.
I determined conservatively 30% extended life on gears .

I can no longer find anyone selling the upgraded heat treated center Diff. Cups, I run the Phat Dad dog bones and I am forced to use stock cups. I use lots of dry lube on the dog bone ends.
Need Help on finding the upgraded heat treated center Diff. Cups.

Hi William,
Thank you for your advise.
Many people do not use dry lubricants, however what you say, the dry lubricant extends life.

Maybe:
