Fuel System Inspection

Inspect the complete fuel system for damage or leaks.

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.

Throttle System Inspection

Inspect the throttle system for interference or binding,
and for damaged or missing parts. Replace parts as
needed. Replace any components that have high effort
or excessive wear. Do not lubricate accelerator and
cruise control cables.
Transfer Case (Power Transfer Unit) and
Carrier Assembly - Differential (Rear
Drive Module) All-Wheel Drive Inspection
Every 12 months or at engine oil change intervals, check
rear differential and transfer case and add lubricant
when necessary. A fluid loss could indicate a problem;
check and have it repaired, if needed. Check vent
hoses at transfer case and differential for kinks and
proper installation.

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. Also inspect drum brake linings
for wear and cracks. Inspect other brake parts, including
drums, wheel cylinders, calipers, parking brake, etc.
Check parking brake adjustment. You may need to have
your brakes inspected more often if your driving habits
or conditions result in frequent braking.
