•Be certain to wash or wipe your hands clean if you have been in
contact with certain products such as insect repellent and suntan
lotion in order to avoid possible damage to the interior painted
surfaces.
•Do not use household or glass cleaners as these may damage the
finish of the instrument panel, interior trim and cluster lens.
•o not allow air fresheners and hand sanitizers to spill on interior
surfaces. If a spill occurs, wipe off immediately. Your warranty may
not cover this damage.
If a staining liquid, like coffee or juice, spills on the instrument panel or
on interior trim surfaces, clean as follows:
1. Wipe up spilled liquid using a clean, white, cotton cloth.
2. Wipe the surface with a damp, clean, white, cotton cloth. For more
thorough cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution. If you cannot
completely clean the spot by this method, you can try cleaning the
area using a commercially available cleaning product designed for
automotive interiors.
3. If necessary, apply more soap and water solution or cleaning product
to a clean, white, cotton cloth and press the cloth onto the soiled
area. Allow this to set at room temperature for 30 minutes.
4. Remove the soaked cloth, and if it is not badly soiled, use this cloth
to clean the area by using a rubbing motion for 60 seconds.
5. Following this, wipe area dry with a clean, white, cotton cloth.
CLEANING LEATHER SEATS
•Clean spills and stains as quickly as possible.
•For routine cleaning, wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. For
more thorough cleaning, wipe the surface with a mild soap and water
solution. In Canada, use Motorcraft Vinyl Cleaner (CXC-93). Dry the
area with a soft cloth.
•If you cannot completely clean the leather using a mild soap and
water solution, you can try cleaning the leather using a commercially
available leather-cleaning product designed for automotive interiors.
•To check for compatibility, first test any cleaner or stain remover on
an inconspicuous part of the leather.
•Do not use household cleaning products, alcohol solutions, solvents or
cleaners intended for rubber, vinyl and plastics, or oil and
petroleum-based leather conditioners. These products may cause
premature wearing or damage to the leather.

TIRES
Tire Inflation Information
WARNING:Always maintain your tires in good condition.
Frequently check and maintain correct inflation pressures as
specified by tire manufacturers. Inspect periodically for abnormal wear
patterns and repair/replace cut or broken tire casings. Always use
experienced, trained personnel with proper equipment and correct
procedures to mount or remove tires and wheels. Failure to adhere to
these warnings could result in wheel or tire malfunction, damage to
your vehicle, personal injury, or death.
WARNING:To avoid personal injury or death, always follow
these instructions when mounting radial tires on wheels:
•Only personnel that have had proper training and experience should
mount or remove tires from rims or wheels.
•Use only heavy-duty rims or approved rims for radial tires. It may be
necessary to contact your wheel and rim distributor to determine if
you can use radial tires with your rims.
•If you are using a tube, make sure to use special radial tire tubes
because of the increased flexing of the sidewalls on radial tires.
•Never use anti-freeze, silicones, or petroleum-based lubricants when
mounting radial tires. Make sure to use only an approved lubricant as
an aid for mounting tires.
•Always inflate tires in a safety cage.
•Do not attempt to mix stud piloted wheels or fasteners with hub
piloted wheels or fasteners. To do so may cause premature wheel
failure resulting in property damage, personal injury, or death.
•Do not mix foreign (not made in North America) wheel-mounting
parts with domestic (made in North America) parts. Many foreign
wheel components look similar to, but are not the same as domestic
made components. Mixing components could cause wheel or fastener
failures and result in property damage, personal injury, or death.

Checking Tire Pressure
Always check inflation pressure when tires are cold. Never bleed air from
hot tires to relieve normal pressure build-up. Normal increase in pressure
due to service conditions is 10–15 psi (69–103 kPa), which is allowable
in truck tires.
Tires should be properly inflated to manufacturers’ recommended
pressure for the size and service load in which the vehicle is being used.
See the specific tire manufacturer with which your vehicle is equipped
with for the latest information concerning service load and inflation
pressure.
It is particularly important to keep moisture from the inside of tires, and
proper selection of air compressor equipment, proper air line routing,
and the use of shop air dryers is strongly recommended to avoid
moisture in the high pressure air used for tire inflation.
Under-inflation
Do not allow tires to become under-inflated; increased flexing due to
under-inflation causes heat build-up within the tire components. This
leads to reduced strength, breakdown of the rubber compounds, and
possible separation of the tire components (such as ply and tread
separation and reduced retreadability).
Under-inflation is the primary cause of premature tire concerns including
sudden loss of air. In addition, low inflation causes an increase in rolling
resistance. This results in reduced fuel mileage, a loss in tread mileage,
and uneven wear due to increased tread movement. To determine proper
inflation, see the tire manufacturer load and inflation guide, which you
can find on the tire manufacturer website or at your local truck tire
dealer.
Tire Inspection
Check the tires for abnormal wear patterns and proper inflation
pressures. Repair or replace cut or broken tire casings.
Inspect tires for the following conditions. If any are present, remove and
repair, retread, or scrap the tire as the condition dictates.
•Any blister, bump or raised portion anywhere on the surface of the
tire tread or sidewall (other than a bump made by a repair). These
indicate the start of internal separation.
•Any cut that reaches to the belt or ply cords, or any cut that is large
enough to grow in size and depth.
•Any nail or puncturing object.
•If a tread groove is holding a stone or object that is starting to drill
into the tread base, remove the object.

Proper tire inflation, toe-in adjustment, loads, and road speeds are
important factors governing tire mileage, steering ease and
maneuverability.
Tire Loading
WARNING:Loading tires beyond their rated capacity decreases
tire life requiring more frequent replacement of tires. Overloading
creates an unsafe condition that may result in sudden air loss from a
tire failure resulting in an accident that could cause property damage,
personal injury or death.
Note:Your GAW/GVW rating is correct at the time of your vehicle
production, and reflects the exact rating of the tires specified. When
replacing tires, make sure that the replacement tire load rating (listed in
pounds and kilograms on the tire sidewall) is the same or higher than
the tire that you are replacing. Failure to do so adversely affects
maximum load carrying capacity. Tires with the same size specification
do not always have the same load specification.
Note:The tire installed as original equipment may not be the same as
the tire specified on the DOT label, but has enough load capacity to
carry the GAW/GVW specified.
Note:Tires with the same size specification do not always have the same
load specification.
Matching Tires
Dual Tires:Dual tires should be matched using tires of equivalent size.
Do not mount tires that differ more than one-quarter inch (6
millimeters) in diameter or three-quarters inch (19 millimeters) in
circumference on the same dual wheel assembly.
Mixing:Never mix bias and radial tires on this vehicle. Never mix
different tire sizes or constructions on the same axle.
Rotation:
Rotation is always advisable:
•If there is irregular wear on the front (steering) axle tires, move to
rear position.
•In a dual assembly, reverse the position of the tires if one tire wears
much faster than its mate does.
•On the drive axle, if heel and toe wear or alternate lug wear occurs,
rotating the tires from one end of the axle to the other end of the
axle may help even out this wear.

Irregular Wear:If irregular wear is present, check the axle alignment,
tire pressure, wheel balancing, shock and suspension component
condition, and wheel bearing end play.
This condition not only shortens tire life, but also adversely affects the
handling of your vehicle, which is dangerous.
Rotating tires from one wheel position to another is an often-used way to
even out many types of irregular wear or to avoid it altogether. Some of
the more effective tire rotation programs are:
•You can rotate steer tires that have developed some type of irregular
wear pattern to drive axles if using rib tires on all wheel positions.
Applying steer tires to a drive position often cleans them. You can
move them back to the steer axles or run out to re-tread stage on the
rear axle.
•Another rotation possibility for fleets with rib tires in all wheel
positions is to break in the new steer tires in the drive axle positions,
then move them to steer axles. This wears away tread rubber
relatively quickly in the early life of a tire when it is most likely to
develop an unusual wear pattern.
•You can place drive axle tires on the other end of the same axle to
reverse the direction of rotation. This is often helpful if a heel and
toe or alternate lug wear pattern has developed.
You can help minimize irregular wear by:
•Using the right inflation pressure for the load being carried.
•Maintaining proper front wheel alignment, especially toe-in, to
specifications.
•Maintaining proper tire and wheel balance.
•Maintaining shock absorbers and suspension components.
Use of Tire Chains
See the chain manufacturer’s recommendation for correct tire chain
usage, installation and removal.
WHEELS
General Information
Note:Remember to replace the wheel air valves when replacing the road
tires at the end of their useful lives.
Inspect, lubricate and adjust wheel bearings at regular intervals. This is
especially important if operating in deep sand, mud or water. See the
Capacities and Specificationschapter.
Mount wheel balance weights on the dome-side of the wheel only. Failure
to do so may result in loss of wheel weight or damage to brakes or
wheels.
