lubricant for this viscosity grade. Select the correct SAE viscosity grade
lubricant and API service category for your vehicle’s operating
conditions.

Check every oil
changeOil change
intervals are as
follows: Powerstroke -
10 000 ; Caterpillar -
10 000 ; Cummins -
15 000 (refer to the
Caterpillar and
Cummins service
manuals for further
instructions and
information)Steering system
Lubricate the steering shaft(s), U-joints and
splines when equipped with grease fittings
Lubricate the front axle spindle pins
Lubricate the steering linkage when equipped
with grease fittings
Grease the power steering gear output shaft
* Coolant protection checks should be made just prior to the onset of
freezing weather, where applicable. If coolant is dirty or rusty in
appearance, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled with the
prescribed solution of cooling system fluid and water. Use only
permanent type coolant that meets Ford specifications ESE-M97B18-C.
See the engine manufacturer’s operating guide for supplimental
corrosion inhibitor specifications.
In addition to the items to be performed daily or at each oil change, the
following need to be completed as specified:
5 000 MILES
•Initial change—change the lubricant in the manual shift transmission
–5 speed and 6 speed Eaton manual transmission. (Not required
when equipped with optional synthetic lubricant.)
20 000 MILES
•Replace the fuel filter.*
30 000 MILES
•Replace the engine spin-on coolant filter.*
•Repack and adjust the front wheel bearings—grease-filled hubs.
40 000 MILES
•Replace the fuel filter.*
General maintenance information
184

50 000 MILES
•Disassemble the single check valve (SC-2) and the automatic drain
valve (DB–2)—clean and inspect the valve for wear and
deterioration.
60 000 MILES
•Replace the engine spin-on coolant filter.*
•Oil filled front hubs—drain oil, adjust bearings and refill the front
hubs with oil. (Not required when equipped with optional synthetic
lubricant.)
•Drain the oil, adjust the bearins and refill with axle lubricant—oil
filled hubs.
•Replace the fuel filter.*
•Change the manual transmission oil—Eaton 5 and 6 speeds only.
(Not required when equipped with optional synthetic lubricant.)
70 000 MILES
•Replace the engine spin-on coolant filter.*
•Replace the engine coolant.* See the engine manufacturer’s operating
guide for supplemental corrosion inhibitor specifications.
80 000 MILES
•Replace the fuel filter.*
90 000 MILES
•Replace the engine spin-on coolant filter*.
•Repack and adjust the front wheel bearings—grease-filled hubs.
•Change the lubricant in the manual shift transmission–7 speed
Spicer. (Not required when equipped with optional synthetic
lubricant.)
•Change the power steering fluid and filter.

Maintenance Operation Frequency - Observation
Inspect the automatic slack
adjuster functionInsufficient power shown in loaded
practice stop
Check the operation of the
brakes, the clutch, and the
steering (*b,a)Vehicle handling qualities not up to
par
Inspect the vehicle for missing,
damaged, or mislocated noise
shieldsExcessive noise emanates from under
the cab or engine compartment
Check the engine performance
and the engine governorExcessive engine noise
Inspect the fan, the fan shroud,
and the fan clutchEngine overheats, fans runs at high
speed constantly, excessive fan noise,
or fan wobble due to worn bearings
Check for operation of ABS
warning lampAt each engine start up
Inspect the entire exhaust
system (including inlet pipe,
muffler, outlet pipe and all
exhaust clamps and fasteners)
for holes, leakage, breakage,
looseness and corrosive
damageExcessive noise or the smell of fumes
is experienced
Inspect the engine air
induction system (including the
air ducts, the air cleaner, and
the air cleaner element) for
loose fitting, damaged or
missing componentsExcessive noise emanates from the
engine compartment
Inspect the tires and check the
air pressure (*c)Poor steering, wandering or excessive
tire wear
Balance the wheels and the
tiresVibration or abnormal tire wear
indicates imbalance
Check the front end alignment
(*c)Poor steering, wandering or excessive
tire wear
General maintenance information
188

Maintenance Operation Frequency - Observation
Check the transmission and
engine mountings (*b)Hard shifting or excessive vibration
Check and adjust transmission
controls (*b)High effort to shift or noisy
transmission
Check fuel pump pressure Insufficient full-throttle power or
backfiring
Clean radiator cap seal. Clean
and inspect the cap surface on
the radiatorWhen the cap does not hold pressure
Check the battery terminals for
corrosionWhenever electrical power supply has
diminished
Tighten the wheel mounting
nuts to the specified torque.
Refer toServicing your
wheels and tiresRequired initially at 804 and 1 609 km
(500 and 1 000 miles). Perform again
at 804 and 1 609 km (500 and 1 000
mile) intervals after each tire
removal/replacement.
*a During maintenance and repair, protect the fuel tube and the hose
assemblies, the power steering lines, and the air brake lines from the
external heat, the acids and the abrasion that could damage the lines.
*b Check for (free) linkage action and ensure that (return) spring
force is adequate to maintain pedal free play.
*c Adjust, repair or replace as required with the same or equivalent
parts.
