GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Exceeding these
ratings by overloading can cause
component failure resulting in property
damage, personal injury or death.
Fluid Temperature
If the operating temperature exceeds
250°F (121°C)
, the rate of axle lubrication
oxidation increases and shortens the life
of the lubricant and seals, requiring axle
lubrication changes to become more
frequent to preserve the axle. Do not
consistently run extreme pressure (EP)
lubricants above
250°F (121°C).
Axle Conversions WARNING:
When operating a
loaded vehicle, the driver must keep all
adjustable axles on the ground at all
times, supporting their share of the
vehicle ’s load. Failure to do so can
overload other axles, tires, wheels,
springs, steering components, brakes
and frames, resulting in early component
failure, loss of vehicle control, possible
property damage and personal injury.
We do not recommend, or approve,
performing axle conversions. However, we
understand that, on occasion, others install
aftermarket add-on axles on the truck
chassis that allow operator control for
weight transfer from other axles (such as
air lift axles). LIMITED SLIP DIFFERENTIAL
(IF EQUIPPED) WARNING:
If both wheels are not
raised off the ground, the one wheel that
is not raised may pull the vehicle off its
support, possibly resulting in personal
injury.
This axle provides added traction on
slippery surfaces, particularly when one
wheel is on a poor traction surface. Under
normal conditions, the limited-slip axle
functions like a standard rear axle. The axle
may exhibit a slight noise or vibration
during tight turns with low vehicle speed.
This is normal behavior and indicates the
axle is working.
Both wheels must be raised off the ground
should it be necessary to operate one
wheel with your vehicle stationary.
ELECTRONIC LOCKING
DIFFERENTIAL
(IF EQUIPPED)
Driver-Controlled Locking
Differential
Note: Never use the differential lock at
vehicle speeds above
25 mph (40 km/h).
Some drive axles have a driver-controlled
differential lock. The differential lock can
lock or unlock the differential when your
vehicle is moving or stopped. When extra
traction is required, the differential lock
provides full power to both wheels.
When you lock the differential, your
vehicle ’s turning radius increases
(under-steer).
Take care to avoid sudden accelerations
when both drive wheels are on a slippery
surface.

STEERING
To help prevent damage to the power
steering system:
•
Do not hold the steering wheel at its
furthest turning points for more than
three to five seconds when the engine
is running.
• Avoid continuously steering back and
forth with elevated engine RPM as this
may overheat the system. If trying to
free a stuck vehicle, pause between
attempts to allow the power steering
system to cool or seek assistance.
Typical steering and driving maneuvers
allow the system to cool.
• Do not operate the vehicle if the power
steering pump fluid level is below the
MIN mark on the reservoir.
• Some noise is normal during operation.
If excessive, check for low power
steering pump fluid level before
seeking service by your dealer.
• Heavy or uneven efforts may be caused
by low power steering fluid. Check for
low power steering pump fluid level
before seeking service by your dealer.
• Do not fill the power steering pump
reservoir above the MAX mark on the
reservoir, as this may result in leaks
from the reservoir.
If the power steering system breaks down
or if you switch off the engine, you can
steer the vehicle manually, but it takes
more effort.
Operating the steering system excessively
at an elevated engine RPM (>1200 rpm)
for more than 2 minutes can result in
steering system damage from overheating.
Move the steering wheel to the full left
position then full right position at idle
speed, or stop using the system for 2
minutes to allow the system to cool down. If the power steering system exhibits heavy
or uneven efforts, check for the following
before seeking service from your dealer:
•
An improperly inflated tire.
• Overloading of front suspension.
• Uneven vehicle loading.
• Binding suspension components.
If the power steering system wanders or
pulls, check for:
• An improperly inflated tire.
• Uneven vehicle loading.
• Uneven tire wear.
• Loose or worn suspension
components.
• Loose or worn steering components.
• Improper vehicle alignment.
• High crosswinds.
If you service or replace any steering
components, install new fasteners. Many
fasteners have thread adhesive coatings,
or have prevailing torque features, which
you cannot re-use. Do not re-use a bolt or
nut. Torque fasteners to specifications.
A high crown in the road or high crosswinds
may also make the steering seem to
wander or pull.

VEHICLE INSPECTION
INFORMATION
To make sure your vehicle is ready to
operate, conduct a pre-trip inspection at
the beginning of each work period. Follow
the steps listed in this section to verify a
proper vehicle inspection procedure.
WARNING: Exercise great caution
when working on a vehicle equipped with
an automatic fan clutch. The fan starts
in motion only after the engine coolant
reaches a predetermined temperature
or the refrigerant pressure (if equipped
with air conditioning) reaches a
predetermined setting. The fan starts at
this point with no advance warning.
Never reach near, or permit objects to
protrude into, the fan blade radius while
the engine is running as this could result
in vehicle damage, personal injury or
death. WARNING:
Do not operate the
vehicle if any suspension conditions
listed in the following charts are evident.
Loss of steering or suspension could
result in property damage, personal injury
or death. WARNING:
If a wheel must be
changed, obtain expert tire service help.
Mounting and un-mounting of tires
should only be performed by a qualified
technician using necessary safety
procedures and equipment, otherwise
the result could be property damage,
personal injury or death.
Note: Always make sure you apply the
parking brake before starting the engine. Engine compartment (with engine off)
Use the dipstick to verify the oil level is in the proper operating
range. See
Engine Oil Dipstick (page 192).
Engine oil
Look through the plastic reservoir and verify the coolant level
is within the proper operating range. Do not remove the
pressure cap until the coolant has cooled. See
Engine
Coolant Check (page 200).
Engine coolant
Verify that the fluid level is in the proper operating range. See
Power Steering Fluid Check
(page 206).
Power steering fluid
Remove the master cylinder caps and inspect the fluid level.
See
Brake Fluid Check (page 205).

Front of vehicle
Verify running lights are clean and unbroken.
Inspect for any missing or loose fasteners, power steering
fluid leaks and damage to power steering hoses.
Steering gear
Verify connecting links, arms and rods are not worn or cracked.
Steering linkage
Verify joints, sockets and boot seals are not worn or loose.
Verify cotter keys, nuts and bolts are not loose or missing.
Inspect front and rear tow hooks for damage or loose
mounting. This is particularly important on vehicles that use
them frequently.
Tow hooks Front suspension
Inspect for missing, broken or shifted leaves, or leaves that
may be in contact with (or nearly contacting) a tire, rim, brake
drum, frame or body component.
Springs
Note: Never apply grease to spring pads.
Make sure there the following items are properly tightened
and that there are no cracks, breaks, wear, damage to spring
hangers, bolts, bushings, axle mounting bolts, and nuts.
Spring mounts
Inspect for any cracks, leaks, or missing or broken bolts or
bushings.
