FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

For those of you that use this product - do you also pack your front wheel bearings with this grease or only the rear roller bearings? I'd assume so given the '42-'48 SHOP MANUAL indicates the same grease - Ford Wheel Bearing Lubricant M4664 - for both the front and rear wheel bearings. Just curious - am having brake shoes re-lined for the front and while it's apart thought I'd go ahead and clean/re-pack the bearings with the 3131 if appropriate, especially since I'm out of the Hi-Temp disc brake wheel bearing grease used previously and don't care to spend more $'s if I don't have to. Appreciate your input -

Steve

Thanks Tom - I saw it on Amazon but I wanted it today and loath anything but Amazon Prime. The local NAPA ordered it yesterday from another store 100 miles away - picked it up this morning. Man-o-man - is this some thick, viscous, fibrous stuff! This morning I removed the rear bearings and found they were still acceptably packed with the still relatively clean Hi-Temp bearing grease (much thinner, no fibers) I originally used 5,000 or so miles back when receiving the car and bringing it back from its long slumber. Cleaned everything and re-packed and coated the bearings and inner and outer races on a leap of faith here - absolutely the heaviest grease I've ever put on any bearings, although this is the first time on 69 year old rear axle roller bearings.

Appreciate all your confidences and successful experiences here - likely would have never selected this without all your endorsements. Thanks to all -

Steve

Thanks. To your point NAPA no longer stocks it within a 50 mile radius of here stocks it - had to place an order. Appreciate the reply -

It is still one of the best. It will continue to be since no other manufacturer is using the drum brake and roller bearings. There is no inclination for a manufacturer to produce a better lubricant.

Searching the Forum it appears historically the Sta Lube 3131 has bee the general consensus wheel bearing grease of choice for rear axle roller bearings. Is this still the case or has some product now exceeded it in performance?
