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.
For 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.
The seat adjusters and seat track should be lubricated with chassis grease,
Door weather strips 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.
Your maintenance schedule will tell you how often to lubricate these items.
See "Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index for the proper
lubricant to use.
Lock Cylinders
To be sure your locks operate properly, they must be lubricated, Your
vehicle's maintenance schedule will tell you how often to lubricate them. See
"Recommended Fluids and Lubricants" in the Index for the proper lubricant to
use.
You should not use penetrating oils because they could wash out the factory
installed lubricant and cause the lock to bind. De-icers which contain alcohol
could also wash away the lubricant,
so be sure
to
lubricate the lock after
using a de-icer of this type.
