3. When changing the front wheel, assemble the jack driver
to the jack and connect the jack driver to the extension
tube. Place the jack under the axle as close to the tire as
possible with the jack driver extending to the front.
Connect the extension tubes and lug wrench.
Front Jacking Locations
When changing a rear wheel, assemble the jack driver to
the jack and connect the jack driver to the extension tubes.
Securely place the jack under the sway bar bracket (unless
both tires are flat on one side, then place jack under shock
bracket) facing forward in vehicle. Connect the extension
tubes and lug wrench. Rear Jacking Location
Before raising the wheel off the ground, make sure that
the jack will not damage surrounding truck parts and
adjust the jack position as required.
NOTE:
If the jack will not lower by turning the dial (thumbwheel) by
hand, it may be necessary to use the jack driver in order to
lower the jack.
4. By rotating the lug wrench clockwise, raise the vehicle
until the wheel just clears the surface.

5. Remove the lug nuts and pull the wheel off. Install the
spare wheel and lug nuts with the cone shaped end of the
nuts toward the wheel on single rear wheel (SRW)
models. On dual rear wheel models (DRW) the lug nuts
are a two-piece assembly with a flat face. Lightly tighten
the nuts. To avoid risk of forcing the vehicle off the jack,
do not fully tighten the nuts until the vehicle has been
lowered.
6. Using the lug wrench, finish tightening the nuts using a
crisscross pattern. For the proper lug nut torque specifica -
tions refer to “Wheel And Tire Torque Specifications” in
“Technical Specifications.” If in doubt about the correct
tightness, have them checked with a torque wrench by an
authorized dealer or at a service station. 7. Install wheel center cap (if equipped) and remove wheel
blocks. Do not install chrome or aluminum wheel center
caps on the spare wheel. This may result in cap damage.
8. Lower the jack to its fully closed position. If the jack will
not lower by turning the dial (thumbwheel) by hand, it
may be necessary to use the jack driver in order to lower
the jack. Stow the replaced tire, jack, and tools as previ -
ously described.
9. Adjust the tire pressure when possible.WARNING!
Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the
vehicle less stable. It could slip off the jack and hurt
someone near it. Raise the vehicle only enough to
remove the tire. WARNING!
A loose tire or jack thrown forward in a collision or hard
stop, could endanger the occupants of the vehicle.
Always stow the jack parts and the spare tire in the
places provided.

428 SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Body Lubrication
Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as seat
tracks, door hinge pivot points and rollers, liftgate, tailgate,
decklid, sliding doors and hood hinges, should be lubricated
periodically with a lithium based grease, such as Mopar
Spray White Lube to assure quiet, easy operation and to
protect against rust and wear. Prior to the application of any
lubricant, the parts concerned should be wiped clean to
remove dust and grit; after lubricating excess oil and grease
should be removed. Particular attention should also be given
to hood latching components to ensure proper function.
When performing other underhood services, the hood latch,
release mechanism and safety catch should be cleaned and
lubricated.
The external lock cylinders should be lubricated twice a year,
preferably in the Fall and Spring. Apply a small amount of a
high quality lubricant, such as Mopar Lock Cylinder Lubri -
cant directly into the lock cylinder. Windshield Wiper Blades
Clean the rubber edges of the wiper blades and the wind -
shield periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild
nonabrasive cleaner. This will remove accumulations of salt
or road film.
Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods may
cause deterioration of the wiper blades. Always use washer
fluid when using the wipers to remove salt or dirt from a dry
windshield.
Avoid using the wiper blades to remove frost or ice from the
windshield. Keep the blade rubber out of contact with petro -
leum products such as engine oil, gasoline, etc.
NOTE:
Life expectancy of wiper blades varies depending on
geographical area and frequency of use. Poor performance of
blades may be present with chattering, marks, water lines or
wet spots. If any of these conditions are present, clean the
wiper blades or replace as necessary.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE 429
The wiper blades and wiper arms should be inspected peri -
odically, not just when wiper performance problems are
experienced. This inspection should include the following
points:
• Wear or uneven edges
• Foreign material
• Hardening or cracking
• Deformation or fatigue
If a wiper blade or wiper arm is damaged, replace the
affected wiper arm or blade with a new unit. Do not attempt
to repair a wiper arm or blade that is damaged. Wiper Blade Removal/Installation
1. Lift the wiper arm to raise the wiper blade off of the glass,
until the wiper arm is in the full up position.

Exhaust System
The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the
vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust
system.
If you notice a change in the sound of the exhaust system; or
if the exhaust fumes can be detected inside the vehicle; or
when the underside or rear of the vehicle is damaged; have
an authorized technician inspect the complete exhaust1 — Wiper
