Hi everyone,
I'm tooling up to overhaul the front end on my Bronco. It has automatic locking hubs, the Ford shop manual specified lubricant is 'Automatic Hublock Grease E1TZ-19590-A (ESL-M1C193-A) (Darmex Spec. DX-123-LT) or equivalent.' Various Ford forums indicate this is a thinner grease than would be used for wheel bearings (to enable lock mechanism to operate in cold weather), though no specified equivalent, web search indicates its obsolete. Appreciate any assistance in identifying an appropriate replacement.
 
I'd just use an arctic rated grease if cold is an issue.
Starplex Syn 1.5 is popular here, where it gets to -60* most winters.
I have some older RPM Arctic if you want a tube, it's good to around -55* i think.
Probably not worth the cost to mail though.
 
Appreciate all the information, considering that I searched on 'low temperature grease' and found this which may fit the bill:
https://www.dupont.com/products/molykote-33-light-extreme-low-temperature-grease.html

Properties: NLGI Grade 1 - Silicone-based grease with a base oil viscosity of 76 cSt at 40°C, lithium-thickened, with no solid lubricants.

Would there be any compatibility issues with the XG-1-E1? Thanks again!
