That's a good point. The tech's usually go over things with me, but you're right, I wouldn't know for certain. On the flip side, I don't currently know all the locations that would need to be hit. I do try to visually verify new grease at locations I can see, but that is obviously not the same. I still have a lot of things to learn and really appreciate the knowledge and support of the community here.

I always run Donaldson Blue synthetic filters, I do not extend drains, I just like the extra filtration. DBL7900 is the number on my cm871.

Before we started to put autolube on we used to take a piece of angle like an old bed frame,notch it and add about a half dozen 1/8 steel pipe couplings, put grease fittings n one end of the fitting and hook up 1/4" synflex to the other run to the fittings on the frt corners of the truck. For fittings that took grease relatively easy it made greasing fairly quick. One on the frame behind each frt wheel. Fwiw
