An Emission Control Service.
Lubricate the front suspension, king pin bushings, steering linkage,
transmission shift linkage, transfer case shift linkage, parking brake
cable guides, rear driveline center splines, front axle propshaft splines,
brake pedal springs and clutch pedal springs. Ball joints and king pin
bushings should not be lubricated unless their temperature is
10" F
(-12" C), or higher. When weather is cold, let the ball joints and king
pin bushings warm up before lubrication or they could be damaged.
Perform each of the listed lubrication service items at this mileage
interval (or every 12 months, whichever occurs first).
For vehicles equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission with deep
low: Lubricate the clutch fork ball stud through the fitting
on the clutch
housing. Lubricant must be added
spring1-y to the fitting, as very little

often than specified.
Too much lubricant will damage the clutch
assembly.
Drain, flush and refill the cooling system with new coolant (or every 24
months, whichever occurs first). See "Engine Coolant" in the Index for
