(2)= An Emission Control Service.
(3)= A Noise Emission Control Device.
(4)= Applies to vehicles sold in the United States
and is recommended for vehicles sold in Canada.
(5)= Check fluid level in brake master cylinder,
power steering pump, front and rear axles,
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.
(6)= 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. Inspect caliper assemblies.
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.(7)= This vehicle has the Engine Oil Life System.
This system will show you when to change the
engine oil and filter — usually between 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) and 12,000 miles (20 000 km) since
your last oil change. Under severe conditions,
the indicator may come on before 3,000 miles
(5 000 km). Never drive your 7.8L diesel engine
vehicle more than 12,000 miles (20 000 km),
or 12 months, or 600 engine hours, without an
oil and filter change.
Remember to reset the Engine Oil Life System
whenever the oil is changed. For more information,
seeEngine Oil Life System (Gasoline Engine)
on page 276orEngine Oil Life System
(DURAMAX
®Diesel) on page 278orEngine

(8)= This vehicle has the Engine Oil Life System.
This system will show you when to change the
engine oil and filter — usually between 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) and 7,500 miles (12 000 km) since
your last oil change. Under severe conditions,
the indicator may come on before 3,000 miles
(5 000 km). Never drive your gasoline engine
vehicle more than 7,500 miles (12 000 km) or
12 months without an oil and filter change.
Remember to reset the Engine Oil Life System
whenever the oil is changed. For more information,
seeEngine Oil Life System (Gasoline Engine)
on page 276orEngine Oil Life System
(DURAMAX
®Diesel) on page 278orEngine
Oil Life System (Caterpillar®Diesel Engine)
on page 279.(9)= This vehicle has the Engine Oil Life System.
This system will show you when to change the
engine oil and filter — usually between 3,000 miles
(5 000 km) and 15,000 miles (24 000 km) since
your last oil change. Under severe conditions,
the indicator may come on before 3,000 miles
(5 000 km). Never drive your 6.6L diesel engine
vehicle more than 15,000 miles (24 000 km),
or 12 months, or 750 engine hours, without an
oil and filter change.

whenever the oil is changed. For more information,

on page 279.
(10)= Inspect rear axle air shift motor for fluid
leaks. Remove plug to check fluid level. Inspect
air lines and hoses for proper hook-up, binding,
leaks, etc. Inspect at 1,000 miles (1 600 km)
and 22,500 miles (36 000 km) and then every
22,500 miles (36 000 km) thereafter.
385
(13)= Check front and rear suspension. Look
for damaged, loose, or missing parts or parts
showing signs of wear or lack of lubrication.
Replace parts as needed.
(14)= Adjust tire pressures as indicated on the
Certification or Tire Information label for optimum
tire life. SeeTires on page 321for 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.
387
(28)= Inspect Electronic Vacuum Regulator
Valve (EVRV) filter for excessive contamination
or plugging. If needed, clean filter with solution
of soap and water, let dry and install.
(29)= Drain, flush, and refill cooling system.
This service can be complex; you should
have your dealer perform this service. See
Part C: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants
on page 397for what to use. Inspect hoses.
Clean radiator, condenser, pressure cap, and
neck. Pressure test cooling system and pressure
cap. For Caterpillar
®diesel engines, always
refer to the Caterpillar®Diesel Engine Operation &
Maintenance Manual for coolant recommendations
and change intervals.
(30)= Change the lubricant. See
Part C: Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 397.
(31)= Front axle service: Re-pack upper
kingpin roller bearing.(32)= Air brake service:
•Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper
hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing,
etc. Inspect drum brake linings for wear or
cracks. Inspect other brake parts at each
wheel, including drums and wheel speed
sensor wiring. 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. Replace air dryer cartridge
only if excessive oil or moisture is present.
A small amount of oil in the system is normal
and should not be considered as a reason
to replace the cartridge.
•Test air lines for leaks; tighten as needed.
Replace compressor filter.
•Inspect air parking brake chamber for leaks
and damage. Inspect lines and hoses for
leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Also check
all attachments for tightness, wear, or damage.
Note: The spring brake section of the rear
brake diaphragms are non-serviceable.
389
•Replace the air compressor filter element,
mounted on the air compressor. For remote
air compressor intake service, refer to engine
air cleaner filter replacement.
•Remove, disassemble, clean, and inspect the
safety valve, service brake chambers, quick
release valves, quick release/double check
valve combinations, parking brake control
valve, double check valves, pressure
protection valves, and ether injector
(if equipped).
•Remove, disassemble, and clean the
application valve; replace parts showing wear.
•Remove, disassemble, clean, and inspect
the spring brake control valve; replace
rubber parts.
(33)= Clean and lubricate air brake automatic
slack adjuster. Check pushrod travel and
auto adjustment operation. Have serviced
if needed.(34)= Air brake chamber service: Check operation,
mounting clamps, and air lines and check for leaks.
(35)= Trailer brake hand control valve service:
Check operation; lubricate cam and follower.
(36)= Tighten the wheel stud nuts to the specified
torque values at 100 miles (160 km). Thereafter,
tighten them 1,000 miles (1 600 km) after each
time the wheel is removed. SeeTightening
the Wheel Nuts on page 325.
(37)= Inspect and clean any accumulated dirt,
gravel, or other foreign objects from the valves and
valve boots as needed. Using light oil, lubricate
brake pedal to brake application valve linkage
components. Check any rubber boots for cracks,
holes, or deterioration and replace if necessary.
