I changed the gear oil out of the frontend in my F150 last night and out poured this milky disgusting goo. Should have done this a long time ago!
I replaced the factory fill with Amsoil series 2000 75w-90 synthetic. In doing so I came up with an elaborate funnel/hose system to fill the frontend. But I needed a fill bottle with a spout, so I drained a full M1 gearlube bottle into an empty Amsoil container and cut the bottom of the M1 bottle out. When I cut the M1 bottle I found about a tablespooon worth of a translucent brown jelly (no to be confused with our board member Jelly!) in the bottom. It looked like growth media used in culture developement or something. It was very thick and gummy, but not sticky. It was the consistancy of Jello, but much stronger, because no matter how much I squeezed it, it would not break apart but rather slip through my fingers. Anybody know what this stuff was? A precursor to M1 grease?
