GL-4 only for steering box?

Apr 26, 2006 8 Replies

I thought I'd seen this somewhere, and sure enough I found in the '58 supplement (but not in the 1956 manual!) "do not use hypoid lubricant" which I assume means that there is "yellow" metal in the steering box and therefore one should use GL-4 or lower (not GL-5 or GL-6.) correct? I'm talking about a Saginaw integral box, BTW.

(reason I ask is, I've got about a half case of Redline Heavy Shockproof laying around... but I'm fresh out of MT-90.)

Bob,

think about where I live... I'm familiar with Tractor Supply; but I think the closest one to me is York, PA :(

I will try to see if I can find a speed shop that has any MT-90 in stock...

thanks,

nate

Hmmm... none of those are anywhere close to my house, but Leesburg is maybe another 20 miles from the office... maybe I can sneak out early some day :)

Fire off a note to Redline and see what they suggest...

That's not the problem, I *know* that the MTL and MT-90 are acceptable. I just don't have a good local source for Redline products either. I probably should just place an order with Pegasus as I will be needing a case of ATF as well...
