Grease it baby- New Pro-1200 uses the same shaft as the CDS

[ruff]

So I was servicing my old Pr0-1200 (celebrating its year and a half birthday). They grow up so fast!
They were installing a new one. Nice.
Found out that the new one is using the same shaft as the CDS. Grease inside van and in motor chamber every 100 hours.

Now, I know that some of you guys don't mind doing it. Actually love spending time under the hood and all. Man bonding with machine type of thingie. So in that regard now you have an even better reason to buy the new one. Grease it baby, grease it.

Me, I'd rather be spending that time cleaning carpet (if I really have to) and earning money, or lounging out with the bears. Sure am happy I got the old one.

Hey I love the Bears. Can you get me some autographs?

 

[ruff]

He sent you an autographed portrait.
Wait a minute.

It says: .............................Grease baby grease.

[Desk Jockey]

It does seem that some of our well known suppliers like to engineer their systems excessively.

Something new weekly.

I would have to look but I think the manual calls for every 250 hours.

 

[davegillfishing]

no its every 100 hrs..im coming up on my first lube job already..

 

[ruff]

Every one hundred hours. I know.
That when I'd started feeling guilty for not doing it

 

[D Luke]

Am I missing something?

 

[ruff]

That's what I was told by a mechanic and what HydraMaster required for their CDs shafts. Maybe they changed, my last one was a 2002.

Damn! If only every 250 hours, there goes that man/machine bonding opportunity.
What will the guys do?

Maybe Sapphire dude can clarify.

All this time I thought you were a kind nice man. You're as fooked up as I am. You're enjoying this Way WAY too much! LOL

 

[ruff]

I've never heard you bring it up.

 

[ruff]

Have you bonded yet?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Please define Way WAY.

I know this just might flip your wig but I'll risk it and trot it on out there any way.

Way, Way is one "way" more than Way. Kinda sends a chill through you doesn't it?

 

[ruff]

It Way, does.

 

[Desk Jockey]

Way cool!

It won't be long and you will be able to get all the Bears signatures you want---just head to the unemployment office...

Ok.......we understand the DD aspect of maintenance, but what's the oil change recommend interval for the Chevy van engine? Transmission? They both take a beating, especially in summer heat. Is it determined by van computer, or hours? Or mileage?

God it sucks to be you guys!! Packers all the way! I'm going to the Monday night game next week against KC.. Monday will be the first time KC has ever lost at Lambeau Field, it will be great!

 

[Able 1]

Greasing every 100 hours is overkill..

I have the transmission oil and filter changed about every 12-16 months, my motor oil I am a nut and have the oil changed every 1000-1500 road miles. Also have been running Rotella T 15-40 in the vans for years for the direct drives. Been working for us
