Start with the jacking equipment. See “Jacking Equipment Storage” earlier
in this section.
Turn the jackhandle
clockwise. That will
raise the jack lifthead
a little.
Before you start,
block the front and
rear of the tire farthest
away from the one
being changed. Put
your spare tire near
the flat tire.
Hub Caps And Wheel Nut Caps
You will have to take off hub caps or wheel nut caps to reach your wheel
nuts.
If you have individual
wheel nut caps that
cover each nut, they
must be removed in
order
to get the wheel
nuts
off. Use the
socket end of the
wheel wrench to
remove the wheel nut
caps.

the rear bumper and into the hoist shaft. Turn the wheel wrench
clockwise until the tire is raised against the underside
of the vehicle.
You will hear two “clicks” when the tire is secure, but pull on the tire to
make sure.

num
wheel
or it could damage the wheel. Secure the tire in the pickup
bed.
If You’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud, Ice or Snow
What you don’t want to do when your vehicle is stuck is to spin your wheels
too fast. The method known as “rocking” can help
you get out when you’re
stuck, but you must use caution.

If your vehicle has four-wheel drive, you will have a remote oil filter. There
is a special access door in the steering linkage shield assembly located under
the radiator support. Twist the screw to lock or unlock the door.
Engine Coolant Heater
An engine coolant heater can be a big help if you have to park outside in
very cold weather,
0°F (-1 8 O C) or colder. If your vehicle has this option,
see “Engine Coolant Heater” in the Index.
What to Do with Used Oil
Did you know that used engine oil contains certain elements that may be
unhealthy for your skin and could
even cause cancer? Don’t let used oil stay
on your skin for very long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and water,
or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly throw away clothing or rags
containing used engine oil. (See the manufacturer’s warnings about the use
and disposal of oil products.)
Used oil can be a real threat to the environment. If you change your own oil,
be sure to drain all free-flowing oil from the filter before disposal. Don’t
ever dispose of oil by putting
it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead, recycle it by taking it
to
a place that collects used oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of
your used oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a local recycling center
for help.
Air Cleaner
To remove the round air cleaner filter for the 4.3L (VIN 2) engine, turn the
wing nuts counterclockwise. Remove the cover and change the filter. Care
should be taken during reassembly to ensure that the cover is on straight and
the wingnuts
are properly tightened.
= To avoid ingesting
dust in the engine, the
arrow on the air
cleaner lid should
point
to the front of
the engine.
