HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
Your truck can be towed forward with the driveshaft connected as long as you do not exceed 35 miles in
distance and 50 MPH in speed. Severe damage to the transmission can occur if these limits are exceeded. If
your truck has to be towed backward and is a 4WD model, unlock the front axle driving hubs, to prevent the
front differential from rotating and place the transfer case in Neutral. Also clamp the steering wheel on all
models in the straight ahead position, with a clamping device designed for towing service.
