Engine Cooling System Inspection

Inspect the hoses and have them replaced if they are
cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes,
fittings and clamps; replace as needed. Clean the outside
of the radiator and air conditioning condenser. To help
ensure proper operation, a pressure test of the cooling
system and pressure cap is recommended at least once
a year.

Rear Axle Service

Check the gear lubricant level in the rear axle and add if
needed. See "Rear Axle" in the Index. A fluid loss
may indicate a problem. Check the axle and repair it
if needed.

Brake System Inspection

Inspect the complete system. 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 other brake parts,
including calipers, parking brake, etc. You may need to
have your brakes inspected more often if your driving
habits or conditions result in frequent braking.
