Attention!
I know most of us understand the importance of swivel ball checking, but...
I've seen too many CV joints blown up from lack of 90W to just lay low! bah haha
Really, get under your rig and check to make sure you're running full. Some may have gone to the factory grease packs (just fine). I actually use 140W, which is almost as thick as the grease packs, but allows the oil to still drain out when I want to change it.
These tend to be the most neglected when it comes to maintenance. I've seen some other shops claim to do the big service intervals, but skip the swivel balls as they take too much time to properly check/fill. It sucks when you have to replace a CV (expensive) from lack of lube!
