After Russ recommended that Hydrotex MTP-Ultra I did some digging and went out and contacted a rep. As good as that grease performed for Russ it actually isn't spec'd for disc brake wheel bearings. I don't remember specifics but there's a difference due to the heat of disc brakes. After seeing that on the data sheet I asked the rep what his recommendations were and decided I'd just go all out and get the best. I have two trucks, a fullsize car, two trailers, plus a few other projects here that will all need bearings repacked.

It's not cheap, but I'm tired of playing "where can I cut cost" and having it bite me in the rear. Wear parts are still far more expensive than this grease was.
Front has new pads and I bled about a cup of fluid from the lines. I should have bled more out, but I was getting worn out from the up and down of not having an assistant. For some weird reason they won't gravity bleed. Odd.

That's the right color for brake fluid isn't it?
I don't know about you guys, but here rust gets EVERYTHING. Brake fluid is hydroscopic and will suck water in. When I'm done bleeding brakes I like to spray out the closed bleeder with brakleen, then spray it with penetrating oil, then cover the whole mess up with grease, trying to pack a little down in the hole. It seems to do the trick as lately when I need to open a bleeder again they actually open which is REALLY nice considering they usually just snap off.

Rear diff filled with 75w-140 full synthetic.
I took a chance. There's quite a few guys running low viscosity hy-guard in their automatic transmissions with very good results. I filled the ZF5 with it and we'll see how it goes. I'm certain it will hold up just fine, but I'm curious how it shifts. It's just a smidge thicker than dex/merc ATF. Time will tell.
