Tony,

I was given a BIG tube of the stuff by a generous GMCer and since then I use it whenever I mess with any electrical connections.

A while back I asked the question if it would help or create more problems if I were to break every plug in connection on a GMC,
clean it, apply dielectric grease, and reconnect it.

I thought it would be a good thing to do as it would return the connections in the electrical systems to as new; in fact it might
even be better than as new.

IIRC the general consensus agreed with me.

It would be a hell of a lot of work though!

When I was working full time I used dielectric grease all the time. I used it on sparkplug wires and any elcetrical connection I had
to work on.

I was reading the post about voltage drop and it got me to thinking.
I was wondering how many people use it and then it got me to thinking how many people keep it in their RV?

So I thought I do a poll.

I use it - but none of our RVs are road worthy at this time. Very Happy
However, I will have some in all our RVs for break downs and to help other RV owners in need.

Tony

Rob,

If it ain’t broke don't fix it!
I use the stuff when I have to fix a wire, connector, install a distributor or battery.

Marie and I are blessed to have had a 2nd chance to buy our farm.
Still hoping and more importantly praying to be able to build a garage.
Our 1970 Ultravan #520 has an Olds Toronado 455 in back.
