How to Inspect the Engine
Air Cleaner/Filters (7.0L V8 Engine)
To inspect the air cleaner/filters, remove the filters
from the vehicle and lightly shake the filters to
release loose dust and dirt. If the filters remain
caked with dirt, new filters are required.
To inspect or replace the engine air cleaner/filters,
do the following:
1. Remove the screws holding the filter element
in place.
2. Pull on latches found on either side of the filter.

3. Inspect or replace the filter. See Normal
Maintenance Replacement Parts on page 445.
4. Reverse Steps 1 and 2 to replace the
air cleaner/filter cover.
CAUTION:
{
Operating the engine with the
air cleaner/filter off can cause you or
others to be burned. The air cleaner not
only cleans the air; it helps to stop flames
if the engine backfires. If it is not there
and the engine backfires, you could be
burned. Do not drive with it off, and be
careful working on the engine with the
air cleaner/filter off.
Notice: If the air cleaner/filter is off, a backfire
can cause a damaging engine fire. And, dirt
can easily get into your engine, which will
damage it. Always have the air cleaner/filter
in place when you are driving.
