I you buy a spicer there is no reason to get greasable.
I have moog greasables. Two years now. Holding up just fine. I see lots of bashing on moog these days, but myself have not seen any reason that the quality has declined.
Not sure about the quality of the moogs but if i had a choice i would choose the spicers. The problem with the poor quality joints is they let the grease fly out the seals and before you know it they are bad. The spicers (spr's) have a triple lip seal to keep the grease in. I had to do one of mine about a year after i put the junk precisions in that replaced the oem ones. The one spicer was in about 13 years prior to the other one i put in last year because the precision was making a lot of noise and i was afraid it may brake. If you look at the pic closely the top cap was starting to crack that's how bad it was.
How are the wheel bearings? Being a farm truck, it probably needs ball joints, wheel bearings, and new spicer joints. The brake calipers could be sticking also.
