Scheduled Maintenance
Supplements
If your vehicle has a Caterpillar®diesel engine, your
owner’s manual is supplemented by the Caterpillar®
Diesel Engine Operation & Maintenance Manual. If your
vehicle has an Allison transmission, your owner’s
manual is supplemented by an Allison
Transmission
®Operator’s Manual. Always refer to these
manuals for related maintenance services.
Scheduled Maintenance
The services shown in this schedule up to 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) should be repeated after 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) at the same intervals for the life of
this vehicle. The services shown after 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) should be repeated at the same miles (km)
after those intervals for the life of this vehicle.Gasoline engine vehicles and some DURAMAX
®diesel
engine vehicles have a computer that lets you know
when to change your engine oil. This is not based
on mileage, but on engine operation and engine
temperature. When the computer has calculated that the
oil needs changing, the Engine Oil Life System will
indicate that a change is necessary. SeeEngine Oil Life
System (Gasoline Engine) on page 5-29orEngine Oil
Life System (DURAMAX
®Diesel) on page 5-31or
Engine Oil Life System (Caterpillar®Diesel Engine) on
page 5-32.
The “Footnotes” at the end of this Maintenance
Schedule further explain maintenance services.

(14)= Adjust tire pressures as indicated on the Gross
Vehicle Weight (GVW) Rating label for optimum tire life.
SeeTires on page 5-70for further details. Check
tires for excessive or abnormal wear or damage. Also
check for damaged wheels. Replace wheels and/or tires
as needed.
(15)= 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.
(16)= 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.
(17)= Check all gasoline engine drive belts for cracks,
fraying, and wear. Replace as needed.
(18)= Adjust valve lash. Incorrect valve clearance
will result in increased engine noise and reduced engine
output.(19)= 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.
(20)= Check shields and underhood insulation for
damage or looseness. Adjust or replace as needed.
(21)= Inspect parking brake drum and linings for wear
or cracks and check linkage and adjustment.
(22)= Wheel bearing service:
•Grease type — Clean, inspect, and lubricate with
the proper wheel bearing grease at designated
intervals or when hubs are removed. SeePart C:
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-32.
•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 the proper oil level between change
intervals. SeeFront Wheel Bearings with Oil-Filled
Hubs on page 5-69andPart C: Recommended
Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-32.
(23)= Check the air intake system installation to see
that gaskets are seated properly and all hose
connections, fasteners, and other components are tight.
Tighten connections and fasteners or replace parts
as required.
