Basically anything that moves or pivots needs lubed. Things like spring pins can be a problem if they haven't been greased properly. You may have to remove them and clean out the old dry grease.

Jack up the front of the truck to take the weight off the front axle before greasing the pins so grease gets to the wear side. Also check for wear in all the steering components before greasing.

If the slack adjusters & brake tubes don't have grease fittings in, take out the plugs & install grease fittings. You will have problems if the brakes aren't greased.

Make sure grease purges out of all points.

If your new to this, buy a good quality grease like Lucas, it will probably take several tubes and most of the day to do the job.

Thanks for the info. I think I will be getting to it next weekend. Plan for a full day I see.

Service manual should have them. Also from the body builder.

Best thing really is to crawl underneath and take a good look at EVERYTHINg.Bring a rag or two.

All steering connections, brakes, clutch, driveshafts.

Find the fluid check areas, and drains, vents, etc.

This way you also get an idea of where other parts are (that can go wrong)

When I got my truck, all I got was the keys. This is what I did for a day.

Thanks for your reply. I think that's what I will have to end up doing. Was hoping to find a place where there is a list so that I wouldn't miss any. Maybe the next time I am at the Mack dealer I will ask them as they are pretty good.

Where the best place online to get a list of all the grease points on a 2009 Mack Granite dump truck. I am new to this truck and want to make sure I get all spots. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am wondering what should be the max boost pressure on a 2009 Mach Granite dump truck with a Mack MP8 485M engine. The one I drive will max out at around 32 psi. To me it seems low. What do you guys think. Any opinion would be appreciated. Thanks.
