what to lube barn doors with

[95escahoe]

On my 95 tahoe the barn doors are a lil hard to open they used to open mint, what would you use to lube them, wd40 or that white grease stuff or is there something else? thanks for the help

wd-40 at first to get all the grime out then white lithium grease a couple of days later. I actually wish my right one was much stiffer to hold its place. Left one is.

not a bad idea either, did the wd40 today works alot better gonna use the white grease in a few days and see how that works, if it doesn't ill look into that, thanks for the info

I have tried lithium grease and have had some issues with dirt accumulation.
I now use graphite, it seems to work very well.

graphite powder?

yepper!

same with WD 40 , fine to break it loose, but once its moving use something else

very familiar with it. I sold the machine that puts the powder in the cans, I had tons of the stuff at one point, good stuff.

still say plain greese from agreese gun thicker and dont wash out...more tackey than white greese.....useing the needle can get your bushing good,sounds like need to replace your pins and bushings,when the bushungs get wore out they fall apart and start binding.thinkset of 5 are 25 bucks,be sure and ask if come with bushings,not hard to change,DONT LET DOORS FALL AT ALL,,,,thats how you adjust the doors,open and pull down or up which ever,little at time tho.
