(k)Inspect system. Check all fuel and vapor lines
and hoses for proper hook-up, routing, and
condition. Check that the purge valve, if the vehicle
has one, works properly. Replace as needed.
(l)Extreme Duty Service: Change transfer case
uid if the vehicle is mainly driven off-road in
four-wheel drive, or is used for heavy trailer towing.

required. This is a Noise Emission Control Service.

at each engine oil change.(q)Visually inspect belt for fraying, excessive
cracks, or obvious damage. Replace belt if
necessary.
