Explanation Of Scheduled Mainienance Services
Below are explanations of the services listed in the maintenance charts.
The proper fluids and lubricants to use are listed in this section. Make sure
whoever services your vehicle uses these. All parts should be replaced and
all necessary repairs done before you or anyone else drives the vehicle.
1. ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE“‘ - ALWAYS USE
SJ3 ENERGY CONSERVING I1 (GASOLINE ENGINE) OR CF-4/SH
(DIESEL ENGINE) QUALITY OILS
OF THE PROPER VISCOSITY.
To determine the preferred viscosity oil for your vehicle’s engine (e.g.
SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30), see “Engine Oil”
in the Index.
2. CHASSIS LUBRICATION - Lubricate the front suspension, king
pin bushings, steering linkage, transmission, and transfer case shift
linkage, parking brake cable guides, rear driveline center splines and
front axle propshaft splines, brake pedal springs, and clutch pedal
springs at the intervals specified.
If you have a 3500
HD, lubricate the king pins and king pin bushings,
every
1,500 miles (2500 km) for Maintenance Schedule I, or every
3,000 (5000 km) for Maintenance Schedule 11.
Ball joints and king pin bushings should not be lubricated unless their
temperature
is 10” F (-12”C), or higher. When the weather is cold, let
them warm up before lubrication or
they could be damaged.
Also, be sure
to check all the vehicle fluid levels at this time.
3.
CLUTCH FORK BALL STUD LUBRICATION (5-SPEED
MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH DEEP LOW
) - Lubricate the
clutch fork ball stud through the fitting
on the clutch housing.
Lubricant must be added “sparingly” to
the fitting, as only .0066 lb.
(.003 kg) is required to lubricate the ball stud surface. Do not add
lubricant more often than the intervals
in the Maintenance Charts. Too
much lubricant will damage the clutch assembly.
4. COOLING SYSTEM SERVICE”’? - Drain, flush and refill system
with new coolant. See “Engine Coolant” in the Index for
the proper
coolant and mixture to use
in your vehicle.
Also inspect the hoses and replace them
if they are cracked, swollen, or
deteriorated. Tighten all hose clamps (except constant tension clamps).
Remove debris and clean the outside of the radiator and air
conditioning condenser. Wash the radiator neck.
To ensure proper
operation, pressure test.
the radiator and cap.
* An Emission Control Service
?A fluid
loss in these systems may indicate a problem. Have them
inspected and repaired at once.
