Which CV grease to use?

Not to hijack the thread.
3rd season with a sandcar. When cleaning, re-assembling, re-greasing before the season, how much grease is needed in the boot? My logic says to put a ton in there because there is room for it.

Zero.
 
@Angusbeef , I think the answers to your question are going to be just like the grease & everyone would be different.

IMO, none goes in the boot. grease the joint & move on.
 
I have been using MOLY PARAGON 3000 with success. Basically the same properties as Certified. $14.5 a tube when you buy a case
 
I have used Cat Desert Gold for years and never had an issue.
However, I don’t think it’s available anymore.
When I run out of the few tubes that I have left…..?????
 
I Know it is not $14.50

But i can get down to $17.50 a Tube for Certified
I really love the stuff, everyone that has purchased it has stuck with it, super tacky and does not dry out,

If Some ones needs Certified DM me and will get some to you,
 
I have been running the Cat Desert Gold for 3 years now with no issues at like $5/tube at my local Cat dealer. I know it's not the same as it used to be. 930's chromoly.

Used to use Neo but man that shit is expensive.

Is this the Certified you refer to?

Certified Premalube Xtreme Black Extreme Duty Multi-Purpose Synthetic Blend NLGI #2 Grease 15.5oz​

 
I always run swepco 101. No mix. Always works great. Tried the 164 for 1 season with bad results. Back to straight 101.
 
I have a bunch of these little packets it says for Ultra Torque power and makes you go fastener! IMG_6856.jpeg
 
I will never understand why people with $100k sandrails feel it necessary to find the cheapest CV grease, to use at most, once a year. If whatever you are using works for you, great. But why is price important? We are talking a few dollars here. Swepco is $18.99 per tube and BelRay is $56.99 per tube. Less than a tube of Swepco and about 1/3 tube of BelRay is enough to do a full set of 934 CVs.

So a tube of each for 930s is too much? Asking for a friend....
 
Ah yes, this argument again. Love this one.

I personally found Nacho Cheese worked the best this past season. At $6 a gallon, you really can't beat it
 
I haven't done as many CVs as LRS, but I have done my fair share.
I can tell you, to fill a dry 934 to where grease comes out of the CV, takes 200 pumps from a grease gun with a grease needle.
McMullen told me that once so I counted and he was right.
200 pumps is whatever that equates to in grease amount. :)
