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.
(1) = If your vehicle has an Allison Transmission®, your owner's manual is supplemented by an Allison Transmission® Operator's Manual. Always refer to these manuals for related maintenance services.
(2) = An Emission Control Service.
(3) = A Noise Emission Control Device.
(4) = Applies to vehicles sold in the United States and is recommended for vehicles sold in Canada.
(5) = Check fluid level in brake master cylinder, power steering pump, axle, transmission, and hydraulic spring parking brake pump, if equipped. A low fluid level in the brake master cylinder can indicate worn brake linings and should be checked accordingly.
(6) = Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors for surface condition. Inspect caliper assemblies. Check brake pedal for excessive free play or travel (or every 6 months, whichever occurs first) and have serviced if needed. Check brakes more often if driving habits and conditions result in frequent braking.
(7) = Inspect parking brake drum and linings for wear or cracks and check linkage and adjustment.
(8) = This vehicle has the Engine Oil Life System. This system will show you when to change the engine oil and filter - usually between 3,000 miles (5 000 km) and 10,000 miles (16 000 km) since your last oil change. Under severe conditions, the indicator may come on before 3,000 miles (5 000 km). Never drive your vehicle more than 10,000 miles (16 000 km) or 12 months without an oil and filter change.
Remember to reset the Engine Oil Life System whenever the oil is changed. For more information, see Engine Oil Life System .
(9) = Inspect rear axle air shift motor for fluid leaks. Remove plug to check fluid level. Inspect air lines and hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, etc. Inspect at 1,000 miles (1 600 km) and 22,500 miles (36 000 km) and then every 22,500 miles (36 000 km) thereafter.
(10) = Chassis Lubrication Service: Lubricate all grease fittings in front suspension, front axle and steering linkage. DO NOT lubricate kingpin bushings with air pressure equipment; instead, use a hand grease gun to ensure complete purge and eliminate sealer cap distortion. Front axle tie rod ends, both upper and lower kingpin fittings, and both steering linkage relay rod ends should be greased with the vehicle loaded on the ground and wheels turned straight ahead, NOT with the vehicle on a hoist. Apply kingpin bushing lubricant to both upper and lower kingpin grease fittings until new lubricant purges from between the upper shim pack and thrust bearing. Lubricate transmission and shift linkage, tilt cab hinges and latches, parking brake lever pivot, clevis pins and linkage, disc brake caliper rails, clutch linkage and release bearing (if equipped), bearing pads, propshaft universal joints, brake camshaft bracket, slack adjusters, pedal shaft, clutch cross shaft, clutch pedal springs, and clutch cable bushing at transmission. Lubricate suspension, axle and steering linkage more often when operating under dusty or muddy conditions and in excessive off-road use. Frequently power-washed vehicles will require more frequent lubrication.
(11) = Check steering system:
| • | Look for damaged, loose, or missing parts. Inspect the steering linkage relay rod and tie rod ends for looseness or lack of lubricant. Also look for parts showing signs of wear or lack of lubrication. Replace parts as needed. Also check steering gear mounting bolts, pitman arm nut, gear housing upper cover and side cover attaching bolts, steering column mounting bolts, and cardan joint clamp bolts; tighten if necessary. See the service manual. |
| • | Inspect power steering hoses, tubes, and fittings for leaks. Hoses and lines must not be twisted, kinked, or tightly bent. Make sure clips, clamps, supporting tubes, and hoses are in place and properly secured. |
| • | Check steering gear for leakage around pitman shaft and housing. If leakage is evident (lubricant oozing out, not just oily film), leak should be corrected immediately. |
(12) = Check front and rear suspension. Look for damaged, loose, or missing parts or parts showing signs of wear or lack of lubrication. Replace parts as needed.
(13) = Adjust tire pressures as indicated on the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) Rating label for optimum tire life. See Tires for further details. Check tires for excessive or abnormal wear or damage. Also check for damaged wheels. Replace wheels and/or tires as needed.
(14) = Check spring-to-axle U-bolts and shackle bolts for proper torque. See the service manual for torque sequence and specifications. When parts are replaced, the torque must be checked and adjusted more often during the first 6,000 miles (10 000 km). Check torque at 500 miles (800 km) and 2,000 miles (3 000 km) after first use of parts.
(15) = Check complete exhaust system and cab areas near the exhaust system for broken, damaged, missing, or out-of-position parts. Also inspect for open seams, holes, loose connections or other conditions which could let exhaust fumes seep into the driver compartment. Needed repairs should be made at once. To help maintain system integrity, replace exhaust pipes whenever a new muffler is put on.
(16) = Adjust valve lash. Incorrect valve clearance will result in increased engine noise and reduced engine output.
(17) = With the engine off and below normal operating temperature, check to see that the thermostatically controlled engine cooling fan can be rotated by hand on viscous-operated drives. Replace as needed.
(18) = Check shields and underhood insulation for damage or looseness. Adjust or replace as needed.
(19) = Wheel bearing service:
| • | Grease type - Clean, inspect, and lubricate with the proper wheel bearing grease at designated intervals or when hubs are removed. See Part C: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants . |
| • | Oil-filled type - Some wheel bearings are lubricated by axle lubricant. When you have oil-filled hubs, use lubricant identical to that used in the axle. Lubricant change intervals are the same for front and rear axles. However, you must maintain the proper oil level between change intervals. See Front Wheel Bearings with Oil-Filled Hubs and Part C: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants . |
(20) = Check the air intake system installation to see that gaskets are seated properly and all hose connections, fasteners, and other components are tight. Tighten connections and fasteners or replace parts as required.
(21) = Check the fuel tank, fuel cap, and fuel lines for damage which could cause leakage. Inspect fuel cap for correct sealing ability and any indications of damage. Check fuel cap gasket for even filler neck imprint. Replace parts as needed.
(22) = Inspect Electronic Vacuum Regulator Valve (EVRV) filter for excessive contamination or plugging. If needed, clean filter with solution of soap and water, let dry and install.
(23) = Drain, flush, and refill cooling system. This service can be complex; you should have your dealer perform this service. See Part C: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants for what to use. Inspect hoses. Clean radiator, condenser, pressure cap, and neck. Pressure test cooling system and pressure cap.
(24) = Rear axle service: Change the lubricant. See Part C: Recommended Fluids and Lubricants .
(25) = Front axle service: Re-pack upper kingpin roller bearing.
(26) = Air brake service:
| • | Inspect brake lines and hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Inspect drum brake linings for wear or cracks. Inspect other brake parts at each wheel, including drums, wheel cylinders and piston heat shields, boots, and wheel speed sensor wiring. Check brake pedal for excessive free play or travel (or every 6 months, whichever occurs first) and have serviced if needed. Check brakes more often if driving habits and conditions result in frequent braking. Replace air dryer cartridge only if excessive oil or moisture is present. A small amount of oil in the system is normal and should not be considered as a reason to replace the cartridge. |
| • | Test air lines for leaks; tighten as needed. Replace compressor filter. |
| • | Inspect air parking brake chamber for leaks and damage. Inspect lines and hoses for leaks, cracks, chafing, etc. Also check all attachments for tightness, wear, or damage. Note: The spring brake section of the rear brake diaphragms are non-serviceable. |
| • | Replace the air compressor filter element, mounted on the air compressor. For remote air compressor intake service, refer to engine air cleaner filter replacement. |
| • | Remove, disassemble, clean, and inspect the safety valve, standard brake chamber, quick release valve, quick release/double check valve combination, parking brake control valve, double check valve, pressure protection valve, and alcohol injector. |
| • | Remove, disassemble, and clean the application valve; replace parts showing wear. |
| • | Remove, disassemble, clean, and inspect the spring brake control valve; replace rubber parts. |
(27) = Clean and lubricate air brake automatic slack adjuster. Check pushrod travel and auto adjustment operation. Have it serviced if needed.
(28) = Air brake chamber service: Check operation, mounting clamps, and air lines and check for leaks.
(29) = Trailer brake hand control valve service: Check operation; lubricate cam and follower.
(30) = Tighten the wheel stud nuts to the specified torque values at 100 miles (160 km). Thereafter, tighten them 1,000 miles (1 600 km) after each time the wheel is removed. See Tightening the Wheel Nuts .
(31) = Inspect and clean any accumulated dirt, gravel, or other foreign objects from the valves and valve boots as needed. Using light oil, lubricate brake pedal to brake application valve linkage components. Check any rubber boots for cracks, holes, or deterioration and replace if necessary.
