What Grease is best?

[lyoncat]

I’m trying to find what the medium weight (cup grease) that was used for the water pump shaft/bushing and packing glands on the 2tons and others!
What is available in today’s equivalent grease that is suitable to use for that application?
Mike.

A bunch of years ago a buddy who owned a truck repair shop got me started on Power Punch grease. That's all I have in my shop. .and equipment now.

For graphite impregnated water pump packing you need graphite base grease. It is a wast of time to
use anything else. Jon

I see that RSC sells a water pump grease. Might be worth try. Jon

I have a can of old Standard Oil RPM water pump grease. I used the stuff inold Herculese engines. It was old stock when I got the half used can from a service station many years ago. They had it for years before that and never used it because all cars by then had sealed pumps. Thus, I have no idea how old it might be.

It has a soapy feel, is of a light color, and has very little tackiness. It reminds me of half-melted parafin. It is designed to not be displaced by water. If you want to check with Standard-Chevron, I could try to lift a number off of the old can. PM me if you want that number. Sorry, the grease isn't for sale.

A google search nets too many choices. Jon
