As we say Downunder these two greases are near as dammit and as far as I can tell either one will work just fine to grease anything
on a GMC.
BTW Caterpillar makes a grease that is called Desert Gold that I use in Australia because neither of these two products are
available Downunder. Well at least I've never been able to find them.
I know there are other moly greases out there but they have limited distribution and therefore hard to get.
The bottom line is the MOLY!

Rob M.
