Hood Latches and Hood Hinge
The Maintenance Schedule will tell you how often
to lubricate the hood latch
and hood hinge assembly. See "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the
Index for the proper lubricant to use.
Propeller Shaft Slip Splines/Universal Joints
The Maintenance Schedule will tell you how often the slip splines must be
lubricated. See "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index for the
proper lubricant to use.
Constant Velocity Joints (All- Wheel Drive Only)
The Maintenance Schedule will tell you how often to lubricate the the
constant velocity joints. See "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the
Index for the proper lubricant to use.
Sliding Door Tracks
Your vehicle's sliding door has three tracks which need lubrication.
For the upper and lower tracks, open the door, wipe the track clean and then
lubricate with Lubriplate@ White Grease.
For the outside middle track, close the door after you finish the upper and
lower tracks. Then, wipe the track clean and lubricate with LubriplateB White
Grease.
Body
Normal use of your vehicle will cause metal-to-metal wear at some points on
the cab and body
if they are not lubricated.
tor exposed surfaces, such as door checks, door lock bolts, lock striker
plates, dovetail bumper wedges, etc., a thin film of engine oil should be
applied.
Where oil holes are provided in the body or cab, a dripless oil can be used.
The seat adjusters and seat track should be lubricated with chassis grease.
Door weatherstrips and rubber hood bumpers should be lightly coated with a
rubber lubricant.
Never use too much of any lubricant and be sure to wipe up any extra
lubricant when you are finished.
Some parts that need lubricating are hard to get at. Window regulators and
controls are inside the doors. You can get to these by removing the trim
panels.
