loose or missing parts, signs of wear, or lack of lubrication. Inspect power
steering
lines and hoses for proper hookup, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc.
Exhaust System Inspection
Inspect the complete exhaust system. Inspect the body near the exhaust
system. Look for broken, damaged, missing or out-of-position parts as well
as open seams, holes, loose connections, or other conditions which could
cause a heat build-up in the floor pan or could let exhaust fumes into the
vehicle. See “Engine Exhaust” in the Index.

Lubricate all pivot points with engine oil, except the TBI throttle shaft. Do
not lubricate the cam pulley. Remove all external deposits from pulley. Do
not oil any accelerator or cruise control cables. Replace any cables that have
high effort or excessive wear.

Check readfront axle fluid level and add as needed. Check constant velocity
joints and axle seals for leaking.

case and add lubricant when necessary. Oil the control lever pivot point and
all exposed control linkage. Check vent hose
at transfer case for kinks and
proper installation. More frequent lubrication may be required on off-road
