Footnotes
† = The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or the
California Air Resources Board has determined that the
failure to perform this maintenance item will not nullify
the emission warranty or limit recall liability prior to the
completion of the vehicle’s useful life. We, however, urge
that all recommended maintenance services be
performed at the indicated intervals and the maintenance
be recorded.
(1)= If your vehicle has an Allison Transmission
®, your
owner manual is supplemented by an Allison
Transmission
®Operator’s Manual. Always refer to these
manuals for related maintenance services.
(2)= An Emission Control Service.
(3)= A Noise Emission Control Device.(4)= Applies to vehicles sold in the United States and is
recommended for vehicles sold in Canada.
(5)= Check fluid level in brake master cylinder, power
steering pump, front and rear axles, transmission, and
hydraulic spring parking brake pump (if equipped). A low
fluid level in the brake master cylinder can indicate worn
brake linings and should be checked accordingly.
(6)= Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hook-up,
binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake
pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. Inspect
caliper assemblies. Check brake pedal for excessive free
play or travel (or every 6 months, whichever occurs first)
and have serviced if needed. Check brakes more often if
driving habits and conditions result in frequent braking.
(7)= Check for filter ash, sensor adjustment, and sensor
hose restriction. Clean as needed. This service can be
complex; you should have your dealer/retailer perform
this service.
(8)= This vehicle has the Engine Oil Life System. This
system will show you when to change the engine oil
and filter — usually between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and
7,500 miles (12 000 km) since your last oil change.
Under severe conditions, the indicator may come
on before 3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never drive your
gasoline engine vehicle more than 7,500 miles
(12 000 km) or 12 months without an oil and filter
change.
6-20

Remember to reset the Engine Oil Life System
whenever the oil is changed. For more information, see
Engine Oil Life System (Gasoline Engine) on page 5-36
orEngine Oil Life System (DURAMAX
®/Isuzu Diesel
Engines) on page 5-37orEngine Oil Life System
(Caterpillar
®Diesel Engine) on page 5-39.
(9)= This vehicle has the Engine Oil Life System. This
system will show you when to change the engine oil
and filter — usually between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and
15,000 miles (24 000 km) since your last oil change.
Under severe conditions, the indicator may come
on before 3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never drive your
diesel engine vehicle more than 15,000 miles
(24 000 km), or 12 months, or 750 engine hours, without
an oil and filter change.
Remember to reset the Engine Oil Life System
whenever the oil is changed. For more information, see
Engine Oil Life System (Gasoline Engine) on page 5-36
orEngine Oil Life System (DURAMAX
®/Isuzu Diesel
Engines) on page 5-37orEngine Oil Life System
(Caterpillar
®Diesel Engine) on page 5-39.
(10)= Inspect rear axle air shift motor for fluid leaks.
Remove plug to check fluid level. Inspect air lines
and hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, etc.
Inspect at 1,000 miles (1 600 km) and 22,500 miles
(36 000 km) and then every 22,500 miles (36 000 km)
thereafter.(11)= Chassis Lubrication Service: Lubricate all grease
fittings in front suspension, front axle, and steering
linkage. Do not lubricate kingpin bushings with air
pressure equipment; instead, use a hand grease gun to
ensure complete purge and eliminate sealer cap
distortion. Front axle tie rod ends, both upper and lower
kingpin fittings, and both steering linkage relay rod ends
should be greased with the vehicle loaded on the ground
and wheels turned straight ahead, not with the vehicle on
a hoist. Apply kingpin bushing lubricant to both upper and
lower kingpin grease fittings until new lubricant purges
from between the upper shim pack and thrust bearing.
Lubricate transmission and shift linkage, hood latches
and hood hinges, parking brake lever pivot, clevis pins
and linkage, disc brake caliper rails, clutch linkage and
release bearing (if equipped), bearing pads, propshaft
universal joints, brake camshaft bracket, slack adjusters,
pedal shaft, clutch cross shaft, clutch pedal springs, and
clutch cable bushing at transmission. Lubricate
suspension, axle, and steering linkage more often when
operating under dusty or muddy conditions and in
excessive off-road use. Frequently power-washed
vehicles will require more frequent lubrication.
