Propeller Shaft Slip Splines/Universal Joints
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often the slip and
universal joints must be lubricated and what type of lubricant to use.
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.
Where oil holes are provided
in
the
body or cab, a dripless
oil
can be used.
The
seat adjusters and seat track should be lubricated with chassis grease.
Door weatherstrips and rubber hood bumpers should be wiped clean with a
wet cloth and 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.
Window regulators and controls are inside the doors. They are lubricated
with a long lasting grease.
If
lubrication is required your dealer should
perform this service.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often to lubricate
these items and what type of lubricant to use.
Lock
Cylinders
To
be sure your
locks
operate properly, they must be lubricated.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often
to
lubricate them
and what type of 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.
Endgate Handle
The
endgate handle pivot points
on
your vehicle should be lubricated
to
keep the handle working smoothly.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule
to
determine how often to lubricate them
and what type of lubricant to use.
