When Slow-blow Fuses Blow Out
Slow-blow fuses protect the
electrical circuits, and they are
installed so that they can be quickly
replaced if there is a malfunction.
If an overload exists in the circuit
from the battery, the slow-blow fuse
will blow out before the wiring
harness is damaged to protect the
electrical circuitry. Inspection
When the headlights and other
devices in the electrical system do
not work, but there is no problem
with the fuses, check the
slow-blow fuse.
The slow-blow fuse is blown if it
looks like the illustration.
Immediately contact the nearest
dealer.

form when rinsing with water. Clean
the blade by wiping with a cloth
soaked in a solution of one-half
water and one-half methanol
alcohol. Then rinse the blade with
water.
The windshield wiper arms may be
swung out, away from the glass, to
provide easy access for cleaning.
Do not hang on to the roof marker
lights while cleaning the windshield
or damage may occur (resulting in
possible water leakage).
External Diesel Engine
Cleaning
The engine does not need periodic
cleaning, nor is it recommended.
If you insist on cleaning the engine,
clean it only when it is cold, never
when it is warm or hot, and never
when the engine is running.
Spraying or pouring water or other
fluids on your engine when it is
warm or hot, or when it is running,
can cause serious damage to the
engine and its components,
particularly the fuel supply pump.

from industrial chimneys and other
foreign matter may damage vehicle
finishes if left on painted surfaces.
Prompt washing may not completely
remove all of these deposits. Other
cleaners may be needed. When
using chemical cleaners, be sure
they are safe for use on painted
surfaces.
Finish Damage
Any stone chips, fractures or deep
scratches in the finish should be
repaired promptly. Bare metal will
corrode quickly and may develop
into major repair expense. Minor
chips and scratches can be repaired
with touch up materials available
from your authorized dealer or other
service outlets. Larger areas of
finish damage can be corrected in
your dealer's body and paint shop.
Underbody Maintenance
Corrosive materials used for ice and
snow removal, and dust control can
collect on the underbody. If these
materials are not removed,
accelerated corrosion (rust) can
occur on underbody parts such asfuel lines, frames, floor pan and
exhaust system even though they
have been provided with corrosion
protection.
At least every spring, flush these
materials from the underbody with
plain water. Take care to clean well
any areas where mud and other
debris can collect. Sediment packed
in closed areas of the frame should
be loosened before being flushed.
If desired, your authorized dealer
can do this for you.
Interior Care
General
Remove dust and dirt from the
interior of the cab using an
automotive cleaner or vacuum
cleaner, and gently wipe surfaces
clean using a cloth wet with warm or
cold water.
{Warning
Water should never be sprayed
directly into the interior of the cab
when cleaning. Failure to observe
this precaution can lead to vehicle
malfunction and possibly to fire if
water should enter the audio
system or other electrical
components located underneath
the floor carpet.
Petroleum ether, gasoline and
other organic solvents should not
be used to clean safety belts. In
addition, safety belt webbing
should be neither bleached nor
redyed. Failure to observe these
precautions can lead to the
performance or strength of the
safety belts being impaired. In the
case of a collision, therefore, the
safety belts could be insufficiently
effective, and serious
life-threatening injuries could
result. When cleaning, use warm
water in which a small amount of

7. SPARK PLUGS :Change every
160 000 km (100,000 miles).
8. SPARK PLUG WIRES : Clean
wires and inspect for burns, cracks
or other damage. Check the wire
boot fit at the coilpack and at the
spark plugs. And replace every
160 000 km (100,000 miles).
9. FUEL TANK, CAP AND LINES :
Inspect the fuel tank, cap and lines
for damage or leaks. Remove fuel
cap, inspect gasket for an even filler
neck imprint, and any damage.
Replace parts as needed.
10. ENGINE ACCESSORY DRIVE
BELT(S) : Inspect belts. Look for
cracks, fraying, wear, and proper
tension. Adjust or replace as
needed, and change every
160 000 km (100,000 miles).
11. EVAPORATIVE CONTROL
SYSTEM (ECS) : Visually check all
fuel and vapor lines and hoses for
proper hookup, routing, and
condition. Check that bowl vent and
purge valves work properly,
if equipped. Replace as needed. 12. SHIELDS AND UNDER HOOD
INSULATION :
Inspect shields and
under hood insulation for damage or
looseness. Adjust or replace as
required.
13. AIR INTAKE SYSTEM : Check
the air intake system installation to
see that gaskets are seated
properly and all hose connections,
fasteners, and other components
are tight. Also check to be sure that
the air cleaner housing is properly
seated, that the cover fits tightly,
and the wingnut(s) is/are tight.
Tighten connections and fasteners
or replace damaged parts as
required.
14. THERMOSTATICALLY
CONTROLLED ENGINE COOLING
FAN : With the engine off and below
normal operating temperature,
check to see that the fan can be
rotated by hand on fluid coupling or
viscous drives. Replace as
necessary. 15. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID :
Check the automatic transmission
fluid level at each engine oil change
and replace fluid every 84 000 km
(52,500 miles). To check the fluid
level, first set the parking brake,
then start the engine in "P" position.
With the regular brakes applied,
move the selector lever through all
the gear positions, ending with "P".
You must check the fluid level with
the engine running at slow idle and
the truck must be on a level surface.
