Severe
(1) Extreme service. For vehicles
mainly driven off-road in four-wheel
drive or used in farming, mining,
forestry, Department of Natural
Resources (DNR), or snow plowing.
(2) Check all fuel and vapor lines
and hoses for proper hook-up,
routing, and condition. Check that
the purge valve, if the vehicle has
one, works properly. Replace as
needed.
(3) Or every four years, whichever
comes first.
(4) Do not directly power wash the

decrease the life of the transfer
case and should be replaced.

comes first. See Cooling System on
page 10 16.
