Service your vehicle more frequently if you
tow a trailer. (SeeServicing your vehicle if you

Do not tow a trailer until your vehicle has been
driven at least 500 miles (800 km).

[DR29401( ALL)06/92]
Vehicle Loading/Towing
Information
*
[DR29450(BEF )03/91]
Your vehicle's load capacity is designated by
weight, not volume, so you cannot necessarily
use all available space with large or heavy loads.
Maximum safe vehicle weights as well as tire,
rim sizes and inflation pressures are specified for
your vehicle at the assembly plant on the Safety
Compliance Certification Label. The Certification
Label is located on the left front door lock facing
or the door latch post pillar.
*
[DR29501( ALL)12/91]
Trucks, unlike passenger cars, are basically
custom vehicles designed to carry a load. Most
owners start with a base vehicle and add
production and dealer installed and/or
aftermarket components to suit their tastes and
purposes. Even trucks that are purchased for
personal transportation only are likely to have
considerable optional equipment, such as step
bumpers and light bars, for example.
*
[DR29525( ALL)06/95]
RWARNING
Passengers should not be allowed to ride
in the cargo area. Persons not riding in a
seat with a fastened seat belt are much
more likely to suffer serious injury in a
collision. Cargo should always be secured
to prevent it from shifting and causing
damage to the vehicle or harm to
passengers.

[RE04275(BEF )05/95]
RWARNING
To avoid injury, never run the engine
with one wheel off the ground, such as
when changing a tire.
*
[RE04280(BEF )10/94]
Extended use of other than matching size spare
tires on a Traction-Lok axle could result in a
permanent reduction in effectiveness. This loss of
effectiveness does not affect normal driving and
should not be noticeable to the driver.
*
[RE05100(BEF )03/95]
Spare Tire Location
*
[RE05250( E )06/94]
The spare tire for your vehicle is stowed at the
rear under the frame (except cutaway and
stripped chassis models).
*
[RE05550( E )03/91]
To remove the spare tire:
[RE05625( E )03/93]
1. Open both of the rear doors. Remove the
access cover from the rubber strip found
behind the left door. Insert tapered end of
lug wrench or tip of jack handle through the
access hole. Turn counterclockwise until the
cable extends enough to allow the spare tire
to be pulled rearward from under the
vehicle.
*
[RE05700( E )10/94]
2. Slide the spare tire to the rear and remove
the retainer from the wheel.
*
[RE05850( E )10/94]

removed, turn jack handle wrench clockwise
until slack is removed.

Cleaning the Engine
*
[SV05920(BEF )04/95]
A clean engine is more efficient because a
buildup of grease and dirt acts as an insulator,
keeping the engine warmer than usual.
*
[SV05940(BEF )05/95]
q
Extreme care must be used if a power washer
is used to clean the engine. The high pressure
fluid could penetrate sealed parts and
assemblies causing damage or malfunctions.
*
[SV05960(BEF )04/95]
q
In order to avoid possible cracking of the
engine block or fuel injection pump, do not
spray a hot engine or injection pump with
cold water.
*
[SV05980(BEF )06/95]
q
The alternator, distributor and air intake must
be covered. Covering these components will
help prevent water damage.
*
[SV06000(BEF )04/95]
q
Never wash or rinse the engine while it is
running. Water getting into the engine may
cause internal damage.

Removing the fuel cap
*
[SV06750( ALL)01/95]
The proper instructions for removing the fuel
cap are as follows:
*
[SV06800( ALL)03/90]
q
Unscrew the fuel cap by exerting pressure on
the plastic lock bar and rotating the fuel cap
counterclockwise.
*
[SV06850( ALL)12/91]
q
Turn the fuel cap 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn until a
hissing sound is heard. Wait until the hissing
sound stops and then continue rotating
counterclockwise to remove the fuel cap.
*
[SV06900( ALL)03/93]
q
Make sure that you follow the above fuel cap
removal instructions and use caution. Such
caution will minimize the possibility of fuel
spraying during removal of the fuel cap.
*
[SV06950( ALL)03/91]
To replace and secure the fuel cap; place it in
position and rotate it clockwise until it clicks
(ratchets). Doing so will not damage or break
the fuel cap. The ratcheting mechanism allows
the fuel cap to be sealed without overtightening.
*
[SV06975( ALL)06/95]
If you lose the fuel cap, replace it with an
authorized Motorcraft or equivalent part.
%*
[SV07000( ALL)05/95]
RWARNING
If you do not use the proper fuel cap, the
pressure in the fuel tank can damage the
fuel system or cause it to work improperly
in a collision.
