4. By rotating the lug wrench clockwise,raise the vehicle until the wheel just
clears the surface.
WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary
can make the vehicle less stable. It could
slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.
Raise the vehicle only enough to remove
the tire.
5. Remove the lug nuts and pull the wheel off. Install the spare wheel and lug nuts
with the cone shaped end of the nuts
toward the wheel on single rear wheel
(SRW) models. On dual rear wheel models
(DRW) the lug nuts are a two-piece assem-
bly with a flat face. Lightly tighten the
nuts. To avoid risk of forcing the vehicle
off the jack, do not fully tighten the nuts
until the vehicle has been lowered.
6. Using the lug wrench, finish tightening the nuts using a crisscross pattern. For
the proper lug nut torque specifications
refer to “Wheel And Tire Torque Specifi-
cations” in “Technical Specifications.” If
in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by an
authorized dealer or at a service station.
WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a
collision or hard stop, could endanger the
occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the
jack parts and the spare tire in the places
provided.
7. Install wheel center cap (if equipped) and remove wheel blocks. Do not install
chrome or aluminum wheel center caps
on the spare wheel. This may result in cap
damage.
8. Lower the jack to its fully closed position. If the jack will not lower by turning the
dial (thumbwheel) by hand, it may be
necessary to use the jack driver in order to
lower the jack. Stow the replaced tire,
jack, and tools as previously described.
9. Adjust the tire pressure when possible.
To Stow The Flat Or Spare —
If Equipped
Refer to Upfitters Body Builders Guide for
information on stowing your spare tire (if
equipped).
Hub Caps/Wheel Covers —
If Equipped
The hub caps must be removed before raising
the vehicle off the ground.
CAUTION!
Use extreme caution when removing the
front and rear center caps. Damage can
occur to the center cap and/or the wheel if
screwdriver type tools are used. A pulling
motion, not a pry off motion, is recom-
mended to remove the caps.
For single rear wheel (SRW) models, use the
flat blade on the end of the lug wrench to pull
the hub cap off. Insert the blade end into the
pull off notch and carefully pull the hub cap
off with a back and forth motion.
163

On 3500 models with dual rear wheels
(DRW), you must first remove the hub caps.
The jack handle driver has a hook at one end
that will fit in the pull off notch of the rear
hub caps. Position the hook and pull straight
out on the ratchet firmly. The hub cap should
pop off. The wheel skins can now be re-
moved. For the front hub cap, use the flat
blade on the end of the lug wrench to pull the
caps off. The wheel skin can now be removed.
CAUTION!
• Use a pulling motion to remove the hubcap. Do not use a twisting motion when
removing the hub cap, damage to the
hub cap; finish may occur.
• The rear hub caps on the dual rear wheel
has two pull off notches. Make sure that
the hook of the jack handle driver is
located squarely in the cap notch before
attempting to pull off.
You must use the flat end of the lug wrench to
pull off the wheel skins. Locate the hub cap
pull notches (2 notches on each cap). Insert the flat tip completely and using a back and
forth motion, loosen the wheel skin. Repeat
this procedure around the tire until the skin
pops off.
Replace the wheel skins first using a rubber
mallet. When replacing the hub caps, tilt the
cap retainer over the lug nut bolt circle and
strike the high side down with a rubber mal-
let. Be sure that the hub caps and wheel
skins are firmly seated around the wheel.
JUMP STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it can
be jump started using a set of jumper cables
and a battery in another vehicle, or by using a
portable battery booster pack. Jump starting
can be dangerous if done improperly, so
please follow the procedures in this section
carefully.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery
is frozen. It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.
CAUTION!
Do not use a portable battery booster pack
or any other booster source with a system
voltage greater than 12 Volts or damage to
the battery, starter motor, alternator or
electrical system may occur.
NOTE:
When using a portable battery booster pack,
follow the manufacturer's operating instruc-
tions and precautions.
Preparations For Jump Start
The battery in your vehicle is located in the
front of the engine compartment, behind the
left headlight assembly.
