(14)= Check front and rear suspension. Look for
damaged, loose or missing parts or parts showing signs
of wear or lack of lubrication. Replace parts as
needed.
(15)= Adjust tire pressures as indicated on the GVW
Rating label for optimum tire life. SeeTires on page 5-68
for further details. Check tires for excessive or
abnormal wear or damage. Also check for damaged
wheels. Replace wheels and/or tires as needed.
(16)= Check spring-to-axle U-bolts and shackle bolts
for proper torque. See the service manual for torque
sequence and specifications. When parts are replaced,
the torque must be checked and adjusted more often
during the first 6,000 miles (10 000 km). Check torque at
500 miles (800 km) and 2,000 miles (3 000 km) after
first use of parts.
(17)= Check complete exhaust system and cab areas
near the exhaust system for broken, damaged,
missing or out-of-position parts. Also inspect for open
seams, holes, loose connections or other conditions
which could let exhaust fumes seep into the driver
compartment. Needed repairs should be made at once.
To help maintain system integrity, replace exhaust
pipes whenever a new muffler is put on.(18)= Check all gasoline engine drive belts for cracks,
fraying and wear. Replace as needed.
(20)= With the engine off and below normal operating
temperature, check to see that the thermostatically
controlled engine cooling fan can be rotated by hand on
viscous-operated drives. Replace as needed.
(21)= Check shields and underhood insulation for
damage or looseness. Adjust or replace as needed.
23)= Wheel bearing service:
•Grease type – Clean, inspect and lubricate with the
proper wheel bearing grease at designated intervals
or when hubs are removed. SeePart C:
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-29.
•Oil-filled type – Some wheel bearings are lubricated
by rear axle lubricant. When you have oil-filled
hubs, use lubricant identical to that used in your rear
axle. Lubricant change intervals are the same for
front and rear axles. However, you must maintain oil
level at the OIL LEVEL mark between change
intervals. SeePart C: Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-29.
6-21

(24)= Check the air intake system installation to see
that gaskets are seated properly and all hose
connections, fasteners and other components are tight.
Tighten connections and fasteners or replace parts
as required.
(26)= Evaporative Control System Service (if equipped):
Check all fuel and vapor lines and hoses for proper
connections and correct routing (or every 24 months,
whichever occurs first). Replace parts as needed.
(28)= Replace spark plugs. Inspect wires for damage.
Check the wire boot and boot heat shield fit at spark
plugs and coil. Replace parts as needed.
(30)= Check the fuel tank, fuel cap and fuel lines for
damage which could cause leakage. Inspect fuel cap for
correct sealing ability and any indications of damage.
Check fuel cap gasket for even filler neck imprint.
Replace parts as needed.
(31)= Check EGR system as described in the service
manual. SeeService Publications Ordering Information
on page 7-7.(32)= Inspect Electronic Vacuum Regulator Valve
(EVRV) filter for excessive contamination or plugging. If
needed, clean filter with solution of soap and water,
let dry and install.
(35)= Drain, flush and refill cooling system. SeePart C:
Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on page 6-29
for what to use. Inspect hoses. Clean radiator,
condenser, pressure cap and neck. Pressure test
cooling system and pressure cap. For Caterpillar
®diesel
engines, always refer to the Caterpillar®Diesel Engine
Operation & Maintenance Manual for coolant
recommendations and change intervals.
(37)= Rear axle service: Change the lubricant. See
Part C: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants on
page 6-29.
(38)= Front axle service: Re-pack upper kingpin roller
bearing.
