What did u do to your raptor today?

[TexasWFraptor]

Rear driver door wouldn’t lock or unlock w key fob took the rubber boot off wire harness in door jam sure enough had a gray wire ripped in half did a quick redneck splice and taped back up to get it working. When I get some time I will be cleaning it up a bit

No!!! it collects dirt.
That will gum up inside the cable sleeve.

This is what I and my crane company have been using for 20+ years.
And I spray my leaf springs!!!

Whitmores may be hard to find for most, another really good product that I've used for years is CRC Chain and Wire Rope Lubricant.
You can get it on Amazon.

Yes I agree, for some reason Amazon is not selling Whitmores it any longer.
I sent an email to sales at Whitmores asking where regular folks like you and I can buy the spray lube,
since Amazon doesn't offer it. Don't know if it will get anywhere.

@badm0t0rfinger

The problem with the CRC-3050 is that, it's not salt and chemical resistant and does not resist dirt.

If your going to go with CRC then you need one of these at the least:
Extreme Duty Open Gear and Chain Lube 12 Wt Oz - 03058 (crcindustries.com)
Or
3-36® Multi-Purpose Lubricant & Corrosion Inhibitor, 11 Wt Oz - 03005 (crcindustries.com)
There pretty close to the Whitmores, the advantage of Whitmores it resists dirt and dirt build up.

You'd be better off getting this:
Amazon.com: Quicksilver 8M0130603 Off-Road Motorcycle Chain Lube – 11.5 Ounce: Sports & Outdoors

Bottom line is you don't want anything that states "will clean", that's the shit WD-40 people use incorrectly!!!

I have some Amsoil Chain lube I think it would work. Going to try it on the rear window. It did a great job on my garage door rollers.

I don't know about that???

This would be safer to use!

Picked some fluid up on my way home from work yesterday and I'll apply it tonight if I get home before sunset.

@MTF Should I just apply it to the intermediate cable on the frame rail? I haven't checked to see what i looks like just yet.

I'll also throw some fluid film on there just so @CoronaRaptor can feel all warm and fuzzy.

Every time I apply and get a good wiff of it I suddenly have 'nam flashbacks; fortunate son starts playing in the distance over the sounds of a helicopter at full tilt.

...well the helicopter is actually there because I live directly underneath their normal takeoff airspace.
