The Lincoln Quicklub system applies lubricant "through a fully automated system using electric pumps and progressive metering valves." What this means is, every part of the truck that needs to be greased (kingpins, cam shaft bushings, tie rod ends, slack adjusters, brake cams and even the fifth wheel!) will be greased, automatically. Even while the truck is going down the road! How sweet is that??
It cost us $2,000.00 to install, but the system will save us a fortune over the course of its use; in both time and money. The informational brochure for the system can tell all you truck fanatics exactly what it does. I fear if I write it here I will fall asleep mid-sentence.We're putting the greasing system on the trailer too, which won't be automated, but by using a grease gun to insert the grease into one lube point, it will distribute the grease through the lines and lubricate all eight points on the trailer. No more climbing underneath the trailer for Ed.
This is the latest addition to Ed's investment into his investment; you can see the other items in Part One and Part Two of "Investing In Your Investment".
Next up, a hot tub on the catwalk.
