7-18 Footnotes

= The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the
California Air Resources Board has determined that the
failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify
the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the
completion of the vehicle's useful life. We, however,
urge that all recommended maintenance services be
performed at the indicated intervals and the maintenance
be recorded.
(1) = If your vehicle has an Allison automatic
transmission, your GM Owner's Manual is
supplemented by an Allison Transmission Operator's
Manual. Always refer to these manuals for related
maintenance services.
(2) = Check the fluid level in the manual transmission.
(3) = An Emission Control Service.
(4) = A Noise Emission Control Device.
(5) = Applies only to vehicles sold in the United States.
(6) = Check fluid level in brake master cylinder, clutch
master cylinder (if equipped), power steering pump,
axle, transmission and hydraulic spring parking brake
pump (if equipped). A low fluid level in the brake
master cylinder can indicate worn brake linings and
should be checked accordingly.(7) = Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hook
-up,
binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake
pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. Check
brake pedal for excessive free play or travel (or every
6 months, whichever occurs first) and have serviced if
needed. Check brakes more often if driving habits and
conditions result in frequent braking.
(8) = Inspect hydraulic parking brake drum and linings
for wear or cracks and check linkage and adjustment.
Check spring brake actuator and pump for leaks.
Note: The spring brake section of the actuator is
non
-serviceable.
(9) = This vehicle has an Engine Oil Life Monitor. This
monitor will show you when to change the engine oil
and filter
-- usually between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and
7,500 miles (12 500 km) since your last oil change.
Under severe conditions, the indicator may come on
before 3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never drive your vehicle
more than 7,500 miles (12 500 km) or 12 months
without an oil and filter change.
The system won't detect dust in the oil. So if you drive
in a dusty area, be sure to change your oil and filter
every 3,000 miles (5 000 km) or sooner if the Change
Oil Light comes on. Remember to reset the Oil Life
Monitor whenever the oil is changed. For more
information, see ªChange Oil Lightº in the Index.

(16) = Check spring-to-axle U-bolts and shackle bolts
for proper torque. See the service manual for torque
sequence and specifications. When parts are replaced,
the torque must be checked and adjusted more often
during the first 6,000 miles (10 000 km). Check torque
at 500 miles (800 km) and 2,000 miles (3 000 km) after
first use of parts.
(17) = Check complete exhaust system and cab areas
near the exhaust system for broken, damaged, missing or
out
-of-position parts. Also inspect for open seams,
holes, loose connections or other conditions which could
let exhaust fumes seep into the driver compartment.
Needed repairs should be made at once. To help
maintain system integrity, replace exhaust pipes
whenever a new muffler is put on.
(18) = Check all engine drive belts for cracks, fraying,
wear and proper tension. Adjust or replace as needed.
(19) = Check throttle linkage for damaged or missing
parts (including throttle return springs), interference or
binding. Fix any problems at once. Do not lubricate
accelerator and cruise control cables.
(20) = With the engine off and below normal operating
temperature, check to see that the thermostatically
controlled engine cooling fan can be rotated by hand on
viscous
-operated drives. Replace as needed.(21) = Check shields and underhood insulation for
damage or looseness. Adjust or replace as needed.
(22) = Lubricate caliper housing, caliper support spring
and caliper support key.
(23) = Wheel bearing service:

Grease type
-- Clean, inspect and lubricate with the
proper wheel bearing grease at designated intervals
or when hubs are removed. See ªRecommended
Fluids and Lubricantsº in the Index.

Oil
-filled type -- Some wheel bearings are lubricated
by rear axle lubricant. When you have oil
-filled
hubs, use lubricant identical to that used in your rear
axle. Lubricant change intervals are the same for
front and rear axles. However, you must maintain oil
level at the OIL LEVEL mark between change
intervals. See ªRecommended Fluids and
Lubricantsº in the Index.
(24) = Check the air intake system installation to see
that gaskets are seated properly and all hose
connections, fasteners and other components are tight.
For gasoline engines, also check to be sure the air
cleaner housing is properly seated, that the cover fits
tightly and that the wing nut is tight. Tighten
connections and fasteners or replace parts as required.
