(13)= 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.
(14)= Adjust tire pressures as indicated on the
Certification or Tire Information label for optimum
tire life. SeeTires on page 321for further
details. Check tires for excessive or abnormal
wear or damage. Also check for damaged wheels.
Replace wheels and/or tires as needed.
(15)= 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.
(16)= 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.
(17)= Check all gasoline engine drive belts for
cracks, fraying, and wear. Replace as needed.
(18)= Adjust valve lash. Incorrect valve clearance
will result in increased engine noise and reduced
engine output.
(19)= 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.
(20)= Check shields and underhood insulation
for damage or looseness. Adjust or replace
as needed.
(21)= Inspect parking brake drum and linings for
wear or cracks and check linkage and adjustment.

Part B: Owner Checks and Services
Listed in this part are owner checks and services
which should be performed at the intervals
specified to help ensure the safety, dependability
and emission control performance of your
vehicle.
For your safety and that of others, any of the
safety-related components that may have been
damaged in an accident should be checked
and any needed repairs made before operating
the vehicle.
At the minimum, these routine checks should be
made every 6 months or 6,000 miles (10 000 km),
whichever occurs first. Whenever repairs are
needed, have them completed before operating
the vehicle.
At Each Fuel Fill
It is important for you or a service station attendant
to perform these underhood checks at each fuel ll.
Engine Oil Level Check
Check the engine oil level and add the proper
oil if necessary. SeeEngine Oil (Caterpillar®
Diesel Engine) on page 268orEngine Oil
(Gasoline Engine) on page 268orEngine Oil
(DURAMAX
®/Isuzu Diesel Engine) on page 272.
Engine Coolant Level Check
Check the engine coolant level and add
DEX-COOL®coolant mixture if necessary. See
Engine Coolant (Gas and DURAMAX®/Isuzu
Engines) on page 284orEngine Coolant
(Caterpillar
®Diesel Engines) on page 287.
Windshield Washer Fluid Level Check
Check the windshield washer fluid level in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir and add
the proper fluid if necessary. SeeWindshield
Washer Fluid on page 296.
Tire Ination Check
Check tire inflation cold. Make sure the tires are
inflated to the correct pressures. SeeLoading Your
Vehicle on page 238andInation - Tire Pressure
on page 322.
