Long TripMighway Maintenance Schedule =- Gasoline Engines
The services shown in this schedule up to 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) should be performed after 100,000 miles
(166 000 km) at the same intervals. The services shown
at 150,000 miles (240 000
km) should be performed at
the same interval after 150,000 miles (240 000 km).
See “Owner Checks and Services” and “Periodic Maintenance Inspections” following.
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.
# Lubricate the front suspension, kingpin bushings,
steering linkage, transmission
shift linkage, transfer case
shift linkage, parking brake cable guides, rear driveline
center splines, front axle propshaft spline and brake
pedal springs. Ball joints and kingpin bushings should
not be lubricated unless their temperature is 10°F
(- 12°C) or higher, or they could be damaged.
+ A good time to check your brakes is during tire
rotation. See “Brake System Inspection” under “Periodic
Maintenance Inspections”
in Part C of this schedule.
‘+‘K Drive axle service (see “Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants”
in the Index for proper lubricant to use):
Locking Differential -- Drain fluid and refill at first
engine oil change.
At subsequent oil changes, check
fluid level and add fluid as needed.
0 Standard Differential -- Check fluid level and add
fluid
as needed at every engine oil change.
3500 HD Models with applications requiring
high-speed (above 45 mph or 70 kndh) operation
for
extended periods of time must have the drive axle
fluid changed every 30,000 miles
(50 000 km).
