GENERAL INFORMATION
WARNING: Exceeding these ratingsby overloading can cause componentfailure resulting in property damage,personal injury or death.
Fluid Temperature
If the operating temperature exceeds250°F (121°C), the rate of axle lubricationoxidation increases and shortens the lifeof the lubricant and seals, requiring axlelubrication changes to become morefrequent to preserve the axle. Do notconsistently run extreme pressure (EP)lubricants above 250°F (121°C).
Axle Conversions
WARNING: When operating aloaded vehicle, the driver must keep alladjustable axles on the ground at alltimes, supporting their share of thevehicle’s load. Failure to do so canoverload other axles, tires, wheels,springs, steering components, brakesand frames, resulting in early componentfailure, loss of vehicle control, possibleproperty damage and personal injury.
We do not recommend, or approve,performing axle conversions. However, weunderstand that, on occasion, others installaftermarket add-on axles on the truckchassis that allow operator control forweight transfer from other axles (such asair lift axles).
2-SPEED REAR AXLE (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING: Never shift atwo-speed axle when descending asteep grade as this may cause loss ofvehicle control and result in personalinjury.
Note:Do not shift between ranges whenthe speed control is on.
A two-speed rear axle allows the driver toselect a low range for greater pulling powerand a high range for greater road speedand fuel economy. You can also use theseranges to provide extra steps betweentransmission shifts when driving on steepgrades or fuel economy may be factors.
Axle Shifting
Note:Do not shift the axle to LOW whenyour vehicle is moving. Use LOW when youdrive a fully loaded vehicle on a severe gradeor in congested traffic. Use HIGH for allnormal driving conditions with a lightlyloaded or partially loaded vehicle.
Note:The axle is set to HIGH by default.
To shift the axle between HIGH and LOWwith the vehicle stopped, place thetransmission in position N, then press andhold the button for two seconds.

STEERING
Hydraulic Power Steering
To help prevent damage to the powersteering system:
•Do not hold the steering wheel at itsfurthest turning points for more thanthree to five seconds when the engineis running.
•Avoid continuously steering back andforth with elevated engine RPM as thismay overheat the system. If trying tofree a stuck vehicle, pause betweenattempts to allow the power steeringsystem to cool or seek assistance.Typical steering and driving maneuversallow the system to cool.
•Do not operate the vehicle if the powersteering pump fluid level is below theMIN mark on the reservoir.
•Some noise is normal during operation.If excessive, check for low powersteering pump fluid level beforeseeking service by your dealer.
•Heavy or uneven efforts may be causedby low power steering fluid. Check forlow power steering pump fluid levelbefore seeking service by your dealer.
•Do not fill the power steering pumpreservoir above the MAX mark on thereservoir, as this may result in leaksfrom the reservoir.
If the power steering system breaks downor if you switch the engine off, you cansteer the vehicle manually, but it takesmore effort.
If you have any steering componentsserviced or replaced, install new fasteners.Many fasteners have coatings with threadadhesive, or have prevailing torquefeatures you cannot reuse. Do not reuse abolt or nut. Torque fasteners tospecifications.
Steering Tips
If the steering wanders or pulls, check for:
•An improperly inflated tire.
•Uneven tire wear.
•Loose or worn suspensioncomponents.
•Loose or worn steering components.
•Improper vehicle alignment.
Note:A high crown in the road or highcrosswinds may also make the steeringseem to wander or pull.
PRE-COLLISION ASSIST -
VEHICLES WITH: AIR BRAKES
WARNING: You are responsible forcontrolling your vehicle at all times. Thesystem is designed to be an aid and doesnot relieve you of your responsibility todrive with due care and attention. Failureto follow this instruction could result inthe loss of control of your vehicle,personal injury or death.

VEHICLE INSPECTION
INFORMATION
To make sure your vehicle is ready tooperate, conduct a pre-trip inspection atthe beginning of each work period. Followthe steps listed in this section to verify aproper vehicle inspection procedure.
WARNING: Exercise great cautionwhen working on a vehicle equipped withan automatic fan clutch. The fan startsin motion only after the engine coolantreaches a predetermined temperatureor the refrigerant pressure (if equippedwith air conditioning) reaches apredetermined setting. The fan starts atthis point with no advance warning.Never reach near, or permit objects toprotrude into, the fan blade radius whilethe engine is running as this could resultin vehicle damage, personal injury ordeath.
WARNING: Do not operate thevehicle if any suspension conditionslisted in the following charts are evident.Loss of steering or suspension couldresult in property damage, personal injuryor death.
WARNING: If a wheel must bechanged, obtain expert tire service help.Mounting and un-mounting of tiresshould only be performed by a qualifiedtechnician using necessary safetyprocedures and equipment, otherwisethe result could be property damage,personal injury or death.
Note:Always make sure you apply theparking brake before starting the engine.
Engine compartment (with engine off)
Use the dipstick to verify the oil level is in the proper operatingrange. See Engine Oil Dipstick (page 227).Engine oil
Look through the plastic reservoir and verify the coolant levelis within the proper operating range. Do not remove thepressure cap until the coolant has cooled. See EngineCoolant Check (page 238).
Engine coolant
Verify that the fluid level is in the proper operating range. SeePower Steering Fluid Check (page 246).Power steering fluid
Remove the master cylinder caps and inspect the fluid level.See Brake Fluid Check (page 245).Brake fluid

Front of vehicle
Verify running lights are clean and unbroken.
Inspect for any missing or loose fasteners, power steeringfluid leaks and damage to power steering hoses.Steering gear
Verify connecting links, arms and rods are not worn or cracked.Steering linkage
Verify joints, sockets and boot seals are not worn or loose.
Verify cotter keys, nuts and bolts are not loose or missing.
Inspect front and rear tow hooks for damage or loosemounting. This is particularly important on vehicles that usethem frequently.
Tow hooks
Front suspension
Inspect for missing, broken or shifted leaves, or leaves thatmay be in contact with (or nearly contacting) a tire, rim, brakedrum, frame or body component.
Springs
Note: Never apply grease to spring pads.
Make sure there the following items are properly tightenedand that there are no cracks, breaks, wear, damage to springhangers, bolts, bushings, axle mounting bolts, and nuts.
Spring mounts
Inspect for any cracks, leaks, or missing or broken bolts orbushings.Shock absorbers
