CONNECTING ROD BEARINGS
1) Mark bearing cap and connecting rod for location. Remove
connecting rod cap and bearing. Install replacement bearing.
2) Ensure reference marks on rod cap and connecting rod are
aligned. Check bearing clearance using Plastigage method. Ensure
connecting rod moves freely on crankshaft. Check connecting rod side
play. See CONNECTING RODS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS at end of
article.
CRANKSHAFT END PLAY
If end play is not within specification, inspect thrust
bearings and crankshaft. Replace thrust bearing or crankshaft to
obtain correct end play. See CRANKSHAFT, MAIN & CONNECTING ROD
BEARINGS table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS at end of article.

DESCRIPTION
Slight variations exist among the manual A/C-heater systems
used. Either Sanden Scroll or Nippondenso 10-cylinder compressor is
used. Cycling of the compressor clutch is controlled by switches which
monitor temperatures and pressures.
Compressors will only operate within the normal operating
temperatures and pressures set for each model. An electric condenser
fan operates whenever A/C system is operating. System components used
vary depending upon model. Most systems include an A/C compressor
control unit, fan switch, evaporator, temperature sensor, high and low
(or dual) pressure switch, engine coolant temperature switch,
compressor, condenser, receiver-drier and various pipes and hoses.
CAUTION: If severe darkening of fluid and strong odor are noted,
change fluid and filter, and adjust bands.
TRANSFER CASE (3000GT)
Lubricant level should be approximately .5" (13 mm) below
fill hole on side of transfer case.
TRANSFER CASE (ALL OTHERS)
Lubricant level should be to bottom of fill hole on side of
transfer case.
RECOMMENDED FLUID
TRANSAXLE/TRANSMISSION
Use Chrysler Plus/Mitsubishi Plus ATF, Dexron and Dexron-II
ATF.
TRANSFER CASES
Use SAE 75W-85 gear oil with API GL-4 rating or higher.
