(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
on page 6-28.
•
Oil-filled type – Some wheel bearings are lubricated
by rear axle lubricant. When you have oil-filled
hubs, use lubricant identical to that used in your rear
axle. Lubricant change intervals are the same for
front and rear axles. However, you must maintain oil
level at the OIL LEVEL mark between change
intervals. See Part C: Recommended Fluids and
Lubricants on page 6-28.
(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.
