    What type of grease goes into the CVT boots? Truck is lifted so the outer boots are ripped. I plan on replacing them with TRAKMOTIVETO8088XTT later on when I upgrade the brakes to 13WL.

    It’s a light weight grease specific for cv joints. If you use too heavy of a grease, the centrifugal forces will just sling it off the joint and it’ll stick to the boot. Which could also put unwanted pressure on the seals and cause seepage. I wish I could tell you exactly what type of grease it is. But I know it’s not just regular bearing grease.
