6-55 Primary Fuel Filter and Water Separator
(If Equipped)
If you have a diesel engine,
you may have this spin
-on
filter. It is located on the
driver's side frame rail.
It has a clear plastic drain bowl at the bottom. Check the
drain bowl occasionally for any water or particles.
To drain the bowl, do the following:
1. Shut off the engine.
2. Partially open the drain valve at the bottom of
the filter.
See ªEngine Oilº in the Index for proper disposal
procedures.
Secondary Fuel Filter and Water
Separator/Heater (If Equipped)
If you have a Caterpillar

diesel engine, you may also
have this spin
-on filter and
fuel separator/heater. It will
be mounted in the engine
compartment on the driver's
side of the vehicle.
It has a metal drain bowl at the bottom. Occasionally,
check the bowl for any water or particles.
To check or drain the bowl, do the following:

Shut off the engine.

Push up on the spring loaded drain valve until clear
fuel is flowing from the valve.
The particles or water will drain out first. See ªEngine
Oilº in the Index for proper disposal procedures.

6-78 Headlamp Wiring
The headlamp wiring is protected by a circuit breaker in
the light switch. An electrical overload will cause the
lights to go on and off, or in some cases to remain off.
If this happens, have your headlamp wiring checked
right away.
Windshield Wiper Fuses
The windshield wiper motor is protected by a circuit
breaker inside the motor and a circuit breaker or fuse in
the fuse block. If the motor overheats, the wipers will
stop until the motor cools. If the overload is caused by
an electrical problem, be sure to get it fixed.
Fusible Links
A fusible link is a short piece of wire several gauge sizes
smaller than the circuit it protects. It will melt in an
overload situation, opening the circuit.
Your starter and other circuits have these fusible links.
The size is printed on the insulation. If the insulation is
burned beyond recognition, consult your GM dealer for
the proper size. Replace a fusible link with one of the
same size and insulation type. Fusible link insulation is a
special purpose high
-temperature material.
The hydraulic brake booster motor feed circuit and
starter circuit are protected by a fusible link. Vehicles
with a diesel engine have a fusible link for the intake
heater feed circuit.
