Hi. I hope this is the correct forum for this as I am only referring to the electrical connectors on the transmission and transfer case. Should I use dielectric grease on these connections? It seems like the place that it should be used, but I didn't see any on the connections when I removed them originally.
I've googled this and there are differing opinions from different sources and so as usual I end up here. Where the guys who know these vehicles inside and out are. Thank You in advance!
Sorry, afterthought.... For the grease I have both the spray on kind which goes on kind of thin and the kind that's similar in consistency to petroleum jelly.
Other than to protect the connections from corrosion, I'm still unclear as to why it's ok to to use it if it's not conductive as I would think in that case it would prevent or interfere with a good connection, but I don't need to get into all of that. I just need to know if it's a good idea to use it in this situation or not.
I live in the Northeast where the road salt and weather have rotted out the trans cooler and PS lines, rusted the frame rails and front suspension parts etc. I have replaced almost the entire front end (A-Arms, Tie Rods, sway bar bushings, ball joints, struts, and installed steel braided trans cooler lines etc...) I am still concerned with the lines that go to the steering rack but I will cross that bridge if and when I come to it. I plan on keeping this vehicle so any and all rust prevention that I can do I am trying to do. Hopefully that VHT Epoxy paint does what it says it will do. Thanks and sorry for such a wordy post!
