[QUOTE="MTF, post: 1176605, member: 499"] Adding grease is a quick and short lived fix, plus you may not know this but what ever you put in the yoke will just run out into the transfer case fluid and thus contaminating it. A little grease for time to time is not going to kill the transfer case fluid but if just pump a shit load grease in that zerk your going to have a change out the Transfer case fluid a lot more. Transfer case problems are costly!!! Side Note: Transfer case, change the fluid !!!!!! I couldn't believe how burnt the fluid was at 20,000 miles. AND make sure it's topped off, this will aid in getting oil up into yoke! A new yoke is all that's needed with a small amount of grease, if the nickel plate coating wears down to much it will bind. The nickel is purposely added to sacrifice itself. I've gone through two yokes and it is getting time for a new one. The TSB is about Fords fix for poorly nickeled yokes, though they don't say that exactly. I've even tried a chromoly yoke, but it was binding like crazy no matter what grease we tried. The splines were just to tight, there needs to be play in there. Found out later that all the Auto manufactures making 4x4s found that out many years ago. I was getting about a one and half to two months out of the Ford grease and about the same for all the other grease I've tried. 560 rwhp will do that. LOL The only grease that has held up for 6 to 8 months is Duponts: [URL]https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003UTX0KK/?tag=fordraptorforum-20[/URL] Research this product, I use it on everything that needs grease even my cranes. I will try the [url]http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/grease/synthetic-polymeric-off-road-grease-nlgi-2/?code=GPOR2CR-EA&utm_source=Email&utm_medium=OrderConfirm&utm_campaign=ProdSummary[/url] on my next purchase. But keep use informed, I am interested in hearing back from you in about a year or two. I will still have my Raptor for many more years. My 7 year Extended Warranty is up in August and I will be purchasing another 6 year premium plan. [/QUOTE]
