LUBRICATION
AND
MAINTENANCE
• Commercial service
When a vehicle is continuously subjected to severe
driving conditions, lubricate:
• Body components
• All the driveline coupling joints
• Steering linkage More often than normal driving conditions
DUSTY
AREAS
With this type of severe driving condition, special
care should be given to the:
• Engine air cleaner filter
• PCV filter
• Crankcase ventilation system
• Brake booster control valve air filter. Verify that the filters and the associated compo
nents are clean. Also verify that they are functioning
effectively. This will minimize the amount of abra sive particles that enter the engine.
OFF-ROAD
(4WD)
OPERATION
After off-road (4WD) operation, inspect the under
side of the vehicle. Inspect the:
• Tires
• Body structure
• Steering components
• Suspension components • Exhaust system
• Threaded fasteners
HARSH
SURFACE ENVIRONMENTS
After extended operation in harsh environments,
the brake drums, brake linings, and rear wheel bear ings should be inspected and cleaned. This will pre
vent wear and erratic brake action.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The following routine maintenance is recommended
on a monthly basis: TIRES—Inspect the tires for unusual wear/damage.
Determine if the inflation pressure is adequate for
the vehicle load. BATTERY—Inspect and clean the terminals.
Tighten the terminals if necessary. FLUIDS—Determine if the component fluid levels
are acceptable. Add fluid, if necessary. LIGHTS/ELECTRICAL—Test all the electrical sys
tems in the vehicle for proper operation. It is also recommended that the engine oil and the
washer fluid level be determined at each fuel fill-up.

ENGINE BREAK-IN
After first starting a new engine, allow it to idle
for 15 seconds before shifting into a drive gear. Also:
• Drive the vehicle at varying speeds less than 88
km/h (55 mph) for the first 480 km (300 miles).
• Avoid fast acceleration and sudden stops.
• Do not drive at full-throttle for extended periods of
time
• Do not drive at constant speeds
• Do not idle the engine excessively A special break-in engine oil is not required. The
original engine oil installed is a high quality lubri
cant. New engines tend to consume more fuel and oil un
til after the break-in period has ended.

0 - 19 ETBE— This fuel is a mixture of unleaded gasoline
and up to 17 percent ETBE (Ethyl Tertiary Butyl
Ether).
Unleaded gasoline blended with ETBE is ac ceptable.
METHANOL—Do not use unleaded gasoline
blended with methanol. The use of this type of alco hol can result in engine performance and damage to
critical components. Engine problems that result
from the use of methanol possibly will not be covered by the new vehicle warranty.
Certain brands of unleaded gasoline contain a per
centage of unidentified alcohol. These types of un
leaded gasoline are not recommended.
ADDITIVES MIXED
WITH
GASOLINE
Use of fuel system cleaning additives should be
avoided. Many of these solutions could contain highly

to the gasket and diaphragm material within the fuel system.
DIESEL
ENGINE FUEL REQUIREMENTS
All Diesel engines normally can use number 2D
Diesel fuel for most year-round operations. A fuel
conforming to ASTM Specification D-975 is recom
mended. For extreme cold-weather operation (below
-18°C/0°F), or for prolonged cold-climate operation ei
ther:
• Use No. ID fuel, or
• Add an equal quantity of kerosene to No. 2D fuel (a 50/50 mixture).
Both methods provide protection against fuel gel
ling and waxing.
Diesel fuel seldom is without water contamination.
To help prevent fuel system malfunctions, drain all accumulated water from the separators periodically.

GENERAL INFORMATION
SUSPENSION
Ram Truck rear suspensions
are
comprised
of;
• Drive axle
• Leaf springs
• Dual-action shock absorbers
• Jounce bumpers (used
to
limit
the
travel
of the
suspension) All
Ram
Truck
and
Ramcharger vehicles
are
equipped with leaf-type rear springs.
The
springs
have
a
one-piece, rubber bushing pressed into their main leaf front
eye.
Model
150 and
Ramcharger
ve
hicles
are
equipped with
a
fixed-rate type leaf spring. Progressive-rate type rear leaf springs
are
standard equipment
for all
Model
250 and 350
vehicles.
AXLES
The
8 3/8, 9
1/4-Inch
,
Model
60 and 70
axle hous
ings consist
of a
cast iron center section. They also
have
two
steel axle shaft tubes that
are
pressed into and welded
to the
differential housing. The removable, stamped steel cover provides
a
means
for
inspection
and
service without removing
the complete axle from
the
vehicle. Both axle types
are
equipped with
a
remote vent
fitting. A small, stamped metal axle gear ratio identifica
tion
tag is
attached
to the
housing cover. The rear wheel anti-lock (RWAL) brake speed sen
sor
is
attached
to the top,
forward exterior
of the dif
ferential housing.
A
seal
is
located between
the
sensor
and the
wire harness connector.
The
seal
must
be
in-plaee when
the
wire connector
is
connected
to the
sensor.
The
RWAL brake exciter
ring
is
press-fitted onto
the
differential case against
the flange. A rear axle equipped with
a
Sure-Grip differential
is optionally available
for
both
Ram
Truck
and
Ram
charger vehicles.
The
Sure-Grip
has a
two-piece case
that
is
interchangeable with
a
standard differential.
A limited-slip differential
is
optional
on
Model
60,
and
70
rear axles.
The
Model
60
uses
the
Trac-Lok
differential
and the
Model
70
uses
the
Power-Lok
dif
ferential.
The
Trac-Lok differential uses
a
one-piece case while
the
Power-Lok differential uses
a two-
piece case. Both
use the
same internal components
as
a standard differential, plus
two
clutch disc packs.
IDENTIFICATION The axle differential covers
can be
used
for
identi
fication (Fig.
1, 2, 3).
Model
60
axle
has the
assembly part number
and
gear ratio listed
on a tag. The tag is
attached
to the
left side
of the
housing cover
(Fig. 3).
Build date
identification codes
on
axles
are
stamped
on the
axle
shaft tube cover side.
LUBRICANTS
Multi-purpose, hypoid gear lubricant should
be
used
for
rear axles with either
a
standard
or a
Sure- Grip differential.
The
lubricant should have MIL-L-
2105-B
and by API GL 5
quality specifications.
MOPAR Hypoid Gear Lubricant conforms
to
both
of
these specifications.
In
addition,
4
ounces
of
Hypoid Additive must
be
included with
a
re-fill
for
Sure-Grip differentials.
If
the
rear axle
is
submerged
in
water,
the lu
bricant must
be
replaced immediately. Avoid axle failure resulting from water contamination
of
the
lubricant.

runout should not exceed 0.005 inch (0.13 mm). If the
runout exceeds 0.005 inch (0.13 mm), a damaged
dif
ferential case could be the cause.
The marking on the differential case will be
very useful later during the differential case
runout. Remove the rear wheel anti-lock (RWAL) sensor.
(5) Mark the differential housing and the differen
tial bearing caps for installation reference (Fig. 12).
(6) Remove the bearing threaded adjuster lock
from each bearing cap. Loosen the bolts, but do not
remove the bearing caps.
(7) Loosen the threaded adjusters with Wrench
C-4164 (Fig. 13).
(8) Hold the differential case in place. Remove the
bearing caps (Fig. 14), adjusters and the differential

is
less than
0,012
inch (0.305
mm), add
clearance recorded when
the
C-clip lock
was
installed
to thrust washer thickness measured.
The sum
will determine
the
required thickness
of the
replacement
thrust washer.
(7)
If
clearance
is 0.012
inch (0.305

greater, both side gears must
be
replaced (matched set)
and the
clearance measurements repeated.

RING
GEAR
TEETH CONTACT PATTERN
ANALYSIS
The ring gear teeth contact patterns will show
if
the pinion gear depth shim(s) have
the
correct thick
ness.
It
will also show
if the
ring gear backlash
has
been adjusted correctly.
The
backlash must
be
main tained within
the
specified limits until
the
correct
teeth contact patterns
are
obtained.
• Excessive backlash
is
corrected
by
moving
the
ring gear teeth closer
to the
pinion gear teeth
• Insufficient backlash
is
corrected
by
moving
the
ring gear away from
the
pinion gear
(1) Apply yellow ferrous (iron) oxide compound
to
both drive
and
coast sides
of
ring gear teeth. (2) Rotate
the
ring gear
one
complete revolution
in
both directions.
(3) Note patterns
in
compound. Refer
to (Fig. 34)
for interpretation
of
contact patterns
and
adjust
ac
cordingly.
(4) Install
the
axle shafts. Refer
to
Axle Shaft
In
stallation within this group. (5) Install
the
housing cover. Refill
the
differential
with lubricant. Refer
to
Axle Shaft Installation.
