5. Duramax chassis

I have on hand some 221 and 274

What is the difference between 221-2 and 274-2??

I am using 238 for my Duramax chassis and it almost seems a bit too heavy. I have 3 tubes of it though, so I will use it up and try one of these.

221 is petro. 274 is a blend.

221 is stickier. 274 is softer and better in the cold.

I'd use 238 for ball joints and drive shaft splines, but not for needle bearings in U-joints. It is so stiff that it won't flow into small bearings, including pickup truck size wheel bearings.
