•If your vehicle is equipped
with the 7.3L Power Stroke
engine,it will be necessary to
remove the air filter element from
the filter housing by moving the
exposed end of the filter element
down and to the rear of the
vehicle, then lifting the other end
of the filter element up and out
of the engine compartment.
•If your vehicle is equipped with the Cummins B engine,a
secondary air filter is located the bottom of the air filter housing to
keep dirt and debris from falling into the engine when the air filter
element is being removed. This secondary filter needs to be replaced
only after the primary air filter element has been replaced several
times. If necessary replace the secondary air filter.
5. Reach inside the air filter housing and clean the outlet tube where it
extends into the housing. Be sure not to damage the tube because the
air filter element seals around this surface.
6. Check to be sure that the drain hole in the air filter housing is open
and clear of any dirt and debris.
7. Check to be sure the new air filter element is not damaged, then
install it. Make sure there is a tight seal (apply pressure at the outer rim
of the element, not the flexible center).
8. Align the air filter cover latches with the holes in the air filter housing
and install the cover.
9. Push in on the cover latches, then turn the latches clockwise 90
degrees. Make sure that all air filter cover latches are fully engaged.

10. Reset the air filter restriction indicator.
11. Inspect the air induction system for loose fitting, damaged or missing
components and repair as necessary.
WINDSHIELD WIPER BLADES
Check the wiper blades at least twice a year or when they seem less
effective. Substances such as tree sap and some hot wax treatments used
by commercial car washes reduce the effectiveness of wiper blades.
Checking the wiper blades
If the wiper blades do not wipe properly, clean both the windshield and
wiper blades using undiluted windshield wiper solution or a mild
detergent. Rinse thoroughly with clean water. To avoid damaging the
blades, do not use fuel, kerosene, paint thinner or other solvents.
Changing the wiper blades
To replace the wiper blades:
1. Pull the wiper arm away from the
windshield and lock into the service
position.
2. Turn the blade at an angle from
the wiper arm. Push the lock pin
manually to release the blade and
pull the wiper blade down toward
the windshield to remove it from the
arm.
3. Attach the new wiper to the
wiper arm and press it into place
until a click is heard.

Fuel filter/water separator
The fuel filter/water separator removes any contaminated particles
and/or water from the fuel before the fuel enters the engine.
The fuel filter/water separator should be drained as recommended in the
Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
Draining the fuel filter/water separator—Caterpillar 3126 B engine
1. With the engine off, open the
drain valve located at the bottom of
the fuel filter/water separator by
turning it counterclockwise.
2. Drain the filter until clear fuel is visible.
3. Turn the drain valve clockwise to close the valve. Do not overtighten
the drain valve as this could cause damage to the fuel filter/water
separator.
Draining the fuel filter/water separator—7.3L Power Stoke engine
1. With the engine off, open the
drain valve located on the side of
the fuel filter/water separator using
your hand.
2. Drain the filter until clear fuel is visible.
3. Close the drain valve completely.

Fuel filter replacement—7.3L Power Stroke engine
The fuel filter/water separator is
located on the right side of the
engine. Replace the fuel filter/water
separator as recommended in the
Scheduled Maintenance Guide, or
sooner if it becomes plugged.
Vehicles operated on fuel with more
than average impurities may require
replacement of the fuel filter more
frequently. The filter has a water
drain valve built into the bottom of
the filter housing.
Removal
1. Remove the fuel filter cap by
turning counterclockwise. The fuel
filter element will come out with the
cap.
2. Remove and discard the bevel gasket. Carefully clean the mating
