GENERAL
INFORMATION
All vehicles are available with either
a
3.9L (V-6),
a 5.2L (V-8),
a
5.9L (gas V-8) or
a
5.9L (in-line 6 cyl­
inder diesel) engine. The accessory drive components
are
operated
by a

single, crankshaft driven, serpentine drive belt on all
engines. An automatic belt tensioner
is
used to main­
tain correct belt tension
at all
times. Refer
to
Auto­ matic Belt Tensioner proceeding
in
this group.

BELT DIAGNOSIS SERPENTINE DRIVE BELT DIAGNOSIS-ALL
ENGINES
When diagnosing serpentine drive belts, small
cracks that run across ribbed surface of belt from rib
to rib (Fig. 1), are considered normal. These are not
a

reason
to
replace belt. However, cracks running along
a rib (not
across)
are not
normal.
Any
belt
with cracks running along
a rib
must
be
replaced (Fig.
1).
Also replace belt
if it has
excessive wear,
frayed cords
or
severe glazing.
Refer to the Serpentine Drive Belt Diagnosis charts
for further belt diagnosis. Also refer
to
Automatic Belt Tensioner proceeding
in
this group.

BELT SCHEMATICS
The following belt routing schematics
are
pub­
lished from
the
latest information available
at the

time
of
publication.
If
anything differs between
these schematics
and the
Belt Routing Label,
use
the
schematics
on
Belt Routing Label. This
label
is
located
in
the engine compartment.

BELT TENSION

ALL
ENGINES
Correct accessory drive belt tension
is
required
to

be sure
of
optimum performance
of
belt driven
en­
gine accessories.
If
specified tension
is not
main­
tained, belt slippage may cause; engine overheating, lack
of
power steering assist, loss
of
air conditioning
capacity, reduced generator output rate and greatly
reduced belt life.
It
is
not necessary
to
adjust belt tension on any en­
gine.
All
engines
are
equipped with
an
automatic
belt tensioner. The tensioner maintains correct belt tension
at all
times. For other tensioner information

GENERAL
INFORMATION
The windshield wipers
can be
operated with
the

windshield wiper switch only when
the
ignition switch
is in the
ACCESSORY
or RUN
position.
A

fuse located
in the
fuse block protects
the
circuitry
of
the wiper system
and the
vehicle. The same motor
is
used
for
standard
and
intermit­
tent wipe systems. The wiper motor
has
permanent magnet fields.
The

speeds
are
determined
by
current flow
to the
appro­
priate
set of
brushes. The intermittent wipe system
in
addition
to low

and high speed,
has a
delay mode.
The
delay mode
has
a
range
of 2 to 15
seconds. This
is
accomplished
by
a
variable resistor
in the
wiper switch
and is
con­ trolled electrically
by a
control module.
The wiper system completes
the
wipe cycle when
the switch
is
turned
OFF. The
blades park
in the
lowest portion
of the
wipe pattern.
Depressing
the
washer knob while
the
system
is in

the
OFF
position, • turns
the
wiper motor
on

• allows
the
motor
to
operate through
3-4

cy­

cles
and
then turn
OFF.

TWO SPEED WIPER MOTOR TESTING PROCEDURES
The following
is a
list
of
general wiper motor sys­
tem problems.
It
contains
the
tests that
are to be
per­
formed
to
locate
the
faulty part,
and the
corrective action
to be
taken.
The
same motor
is
used
for
stan­
dard
and
optional systems.
If the
malfunction
in­

volves only
the
Delay mode, switch,
or
wiring, refer
to
the
Intermittent Windshield Wiper Motor
and
Switch Service Procedures.

CONDITION
Motor will
not run in any

No.

5.

(2) Place switch
in low
speed position.
(3) Listen
to
motor.
If you
cannot hear
it
running,
proceed
to
step
No. 4. If you
hear
it
running, check
motor output shaft.
If
output shaft
is not
turning,
re­

place motor assembly.
If it is
turning, crank
arm or
drive link
is not
properly connected. Replace worn
parts and/or properly connect drive link
to the
motor output shaft.
(4) Connect
a
voltmeter between motor terminal

"L"
and
ground strap
(Fig. 1). If
there
is no
voltage
or very little voltage (less than
one
volt) present,
move negative test lead from
the
ground strap
to
bat­
tery negative terminal.
(a)
If an
increase
in
voltage
is
noticed,
the
prob­
lem
is a bad
ground circuit. Make sure
the
motor
mounting
is
free
of
paint
and
that nuts
or
bolts
are

tight.

(3) Honing
should be
done
by moving the
hone
up

and down
fast
enough
to get a Crosshatch pattern.

The hone
marks should
INTERSECT
at 50° to 60° for

proper seating
of
rings (Fig.
1).

Fig.

Cylinder
Bore
Crosshatch
Pattern

(4)
A
controlled hone motor speed between
200 and

300
RPM is
necessary
to
obtain
the
proper Crosshatch angle.
The
number
of up and
down strokes
per

minute
can be
regulated
to get the
desired
50° to 60°
angle. Faster
up and
down strokes increase
the
cross-
hatch angle.
(5) After honing,
it is
necessary that
the
block
be

cleaned
to
remove
all
traces
of
abrasive.
Use a
brush
to wash parts with
a
solution
of hot
water
and
deter­ gent.
Dry
parts thoroughly.
Use a
clean, white, lint-
free cloth
to
check that
the
bore
is
clean.
Oil the

bores after cleaning
to
prevent rusting.

MEASURING
WITH
PLASTIGAGE
CRANKSHAFT
MAIN BEARING CLEARANCE Engine crankshaft bearing clearances
can be
deter­
mined
by use of
Plastigage,
or
equivalent.
The
fol­ lowing
is the
recommended procedures
for the use of

Plastigage:
(1) Remove
oil
film from surface
to be
checked.
Plastigage
is
soluble
in oil.

(2)
The
total clearance
of the
main bearings
can

only
be
determined
by
removing
the
weight
of the

crankshaft. This
can be
accomplished
by
either
of

two methods:

METHOD - 1
(PREFERRED)—Shim
the
bear­
ings adjacent
to the
bearing
to be
checked. This will
remove
the
clearance between upper bearing shell and
the
crankshaft. Place
a
minimum
of
0.254
mm
(0.010 inch) shim between
the
bearing shell
and the

adjacent bearing cap. Tighten
the
bolts
to 18 N*m (13

ft.
lbs.)

METHOD
- 2
(ALTERNATIVE)—The weight
of

the crankshaft
is
supported
by a
jack under
the
coun­
terweight adjacent
to the
bearing being checked.
(3) Place
a
piece
of
Plastigage across
the
entire
width
of the
bearing
cap
shell
(Fig. 2).
Position
the

Plastigage approximately
6.35 mm (1/4
inch)
off
cen­
ter
and
away from
the oil
holes.
In
addition, suspect areas
can be
checked
by
placing
the
Plastigage
in

that area. Tighten
the
bearing
cap
bolts
of the
bear­
ing being checked
to 115 N»m (85 ft. lbs.)
torque.
DO

NOT rotate
the
crankshaft
or the
Plastigage
may

be smeared, giving inaccurate results.

Fig.
2
Placement
of
Plastigage
in

Shell

(4) Remove
the
bearing
cap and
compare
the
width
of
the
flattened Plastigage with
the
scale provided
on

the package
(Fig. 3).
Plastigage generally comes
in 2
scales
(one
scale
is in
inches
and the
other
is a
met­
ric scale). Locate
the
band closest
to the
same width.
This band shows
the
amount
of
clearance. Differ­ ences
in
readings between
the
ends indicate
the

amount
of
taper present. Record
all
readings taken (refer
to
Engine Specifications).
(5) Plastigage
is
available
in a
variety
of
clearance
ranges.
The
0.025-0.076
mm
(0.001-0.003 inch) range is usually
the
most appropriate
for
checking engine
bearing clearances.

GENERAL
INFORMATION The NV4500
is a
five-speed, constant mesh manual
transmission (Fig.
1). All
gear ranges including
re­

verse
are
synchronized. Fifth gear
is an
overdrive
range with
a
ratio
of
0.74:1.
The transmission has
a

cast iron gear case and aluminum shift cover. The NV4500
is a
top loader style transmission. The
shift lever
is
located
in the
shift cover and operates
the shift forks and rails directly. The shift forks and
rails
are all
located within
the
aluminum cover
which
is
bolted
to
the top
of
the gear case.
A reverse gear inhibitor mechanism prevents
re­

verse gear engagement when shifting into forward
gear ranges. The inhibitor mechanism
is
located
in

the shift cover.
Tapered roller bearings support
the
drive gear,
mainshaft
and
countershaft
in the
gear case. Pilot
roller bearings
in
the drive gear hub support the for­
ward end
of
the mainshaft. The mainshaft gears
are
all supported
on
caged type roller bearings. Drive
gear thrust reaction
is
controlled
by a
needle type
thrust bearing. The bearing
is
located
at
the forward
end
of
the mainshaft.

TRANSMISSION
IDENTIFICATION The NV4500 transmission identification
tag is at­

tached
to
the driver side PTO cover (Fig.
2).
The
tag
provides
the
transmission model number,
build date and part number.
Be
sure
to
reinstall
the
I.D.
tag if
removed during service. The information
on the tag
is
essential
to
correct parts ordering.

(49) Verify that park/neutral position switch has
not been installed in case. Valve body can not be in­ stalled if switch is in position.
(50) Install valve body as follows: (a) Start park rod into park pawl. If rod will not
slide past park pawl, pawl is engaged in park gear.
Rotate overdrive output shaft with socket to free
pawl and allow rod to engage. (b) Align and seat valve body on case. Be sure
manual lever shaft and overdrive connector are
fully seated in case.
(c) Install and start all valve body attaching
bolts by hand. Then tighten bolts evenly, in a di­ agonal pattern to 12 Nnn (105 in. lbs.) torque. Do
not overtighten valve body bolts. This could result in distortion and cross leakage after in­ stallation..
(51) Install new filter on valve body. Tighten filter
screws to 4 Nnn (35 in. lbs.).
(52) Install seal on park/neutral position switch
(Fig. 157). Then install and tighten switch to 34 Nnn
(25 ft. lbs.).

(53) Adjust front and rear bands as follows:
(a) Loosen locknut on each band adjusting screw
4-5 turns.
(b) Tighten both adjusting screws to 8 Nnn (72
in. lbs.).
(c) Back off front band adjusting screw 2-1/2

turns.

(d) Back off rear band adjusting screw 2 turns.
(e) Hold each adjusting screw in position and
tighten locknuts to 34 Nnn (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
(54) Install magnet in oil pan. Magnet goes on
small protrusion at corner of pan.
(55) Position new oil pan gasket on case and in­
stall oil pan. Tighten pan bolts to 17 Nnn (13 ft. lbs.).
(56) Install new valve body manual shaft seal in
case (Fig. 158). Lubricate seal lip and manual shaft
with petroleum jelly. Start seal over shaft and into
case.
Seat seal with 15/16 inch, deep well socket.
(57) Install throttle valve and shift selector levers
on valve body manual lever shaft. (58) Cap or cover transmission openings (cooler
line fittings, filler tube bore, etc.) to prevent dirt en­
try.
(59) Install torque converter. Use C-clamp or metal
strap to hold converter in place for installation. (60) Mount transmission on jack for installation in
vehicle.
(61) Apply dielectric grease to terminal pins of so­
lenoid case connector and neutral switch.

WHEELS
AND
TIRES
22 - 7 move and install dual rear wheels only when the
proper wrench is available.

INSTALLATION
The tires on both wheels must be completely raised
off the ground when tightening the lug nuts (Fig. 5).
This will ensure correct wheel centering and maxi­ mum wheel clamping.

A 1
1/8-inch
diameter flanged-type wheel lug nut
with right-hand threads is used for retaining dual rear wheels on the hubs. A special, heavy duty wheel lug nut wrench is necessary to correctly tighten the nuts with the required torque (Fig. 4).
The dual rear wheel lug nuts should be tightened
according to the following procedure:
• Tighten the wheel lug nuts in the numbered se­
quential pattern until they are snug tight (Fig. 4).
• Tighten the wheel lug nuts in the numbered se­
quential pattern to 440 N#m (325 ft-lb) torque.
• Tighten the lug nuts in the numbered sequential
pattern a second time to the specified torque. This will ensure that the wheels are thoroughly mated. • Retighten the lug nuts to the specified torque after 100 miles (160 kilometers). Also retighten after 500
miles (800 kilometers) of vehicle operation.
The wheel lug nuts should be tightened with
the specified torque at every chassis lubrication
interval thereafter.

WHEEL REPLACEMENT
Wheels must be replaced if they have:
• Excessive runout
• Bent or dented
• Leak air through welds
• Have damaged bolt holes Wheel repairs employing hammering, heating, or
welding are not allowed. Original equipment wheels are available through
your dealer. Replacement wheels from any other source should be equivalent in: • Load carrying capacity
• Diameter
® Width
• Offset
• Mounting configuration
Failure to use equivalent replacement wheels may
affect the safety and handling of your vehicle. Re­
placement with used wheels is not recommended.
Their service history may have included severe treat­ ment.
Refer to the Specifications Chart for informa­
tion regarding above requirements.

TIRE AND WHEEL BALANCE
It is recommended that a two plane dynamic bal­
ancer be used when a wheel and tire assembly re­
quire balancing. Static should be used only when a
two plane balancer is not available. For static imbalance, find location of heavy spot
causing imbalance. Counter balance wheel directly
opposite the heavy spot. Determine weight required
to counterbalance the area of imbalance. Place half of this weight on the inner rim flange and the other
half on the outer rim flange (Fig. 6, Fig. 7). Off-ve­
hicle balancing is necessary. Wheel balancing can be accomplished with either
on or off vehicle equipment. When using on-vehicle
balancing equipment, follow these precautions: • Limited-slip rear axle differential, remove the op­
posite wheel/tire • Before balancing the wheels/tires on a vehicle
equipped with a transfer case, disconnect the drive shafts

MATCH
MOUNTING
Wheels and tires are match mounted at the factory.
This means that the high spot of the tire is matched
to the low spot on the wheel rim. This technique is used to reduce run-out in the wheel/tire assembly.
The high spot on the tire is marked with a paint mark or a bright colored adhesive label on the out­
board sidewall. The low spot on the rim is at the
valve stem location on the wheel rim. Before dismounting a tire from its wheel, a refer­
ence mark should be placed on the tire at the valve stem location. This reference will ensure that it is re­
mounted in the original position on the wheel. (1) Measure the total indicator runout on the cen­
ter of the tire tread rib. Record the indicator reading.
