Brake Hoses
Inspection should be performed whenever the brake

spots. If there is any evidence of cracking, scuffing, or
worn spots, the hose should be replaced immediately!
Eventual deterioration of the hose can take place with
possible burst failure.

The clutch hydraulic system is a sealed maintenance-free
system. In the event of leakage or other malfunction, the
system must be replaced.

Clutch Linkage

If the clutch pedal linkage begins to squeak or grunt, the
clutch pedal pivot bushings should be lubricated. Refer
to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for the correct
lubricant type.

Rear Axle And 4x4 Front Driving Axle Fluid Level

Refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for the
correct Fluid type. For normal service, periodic fluid level
checks are not required. When the vehicle is serviced for
other reasons the exterior surfaces of the axle assembly
should be inspected. If gear oil leakage is suspected
inspect the fluid level.
This inspection should be made with the vehicle in a level
position. The fluid level should be even with the bottom
of the fill hole for the Manufacturer's C205F HD Front
Axles. The fluid level should be 5/8" (16 mm) below on
9 1/4" Manufacturer's Rear Axles.
For all 2500 Model axles, the fluid level should be 1/4" ±
1/4" (6.4 mm ± 6.4 mm) below the fill hole on the 9.25"
Front and 3/4"± 1/4" (19 mm ± 6.4 mm) on 10.5" Rear
axles.
