Other Maintenance Items
Hydraulic Clutch Grease Fitting
If
you have the
4.3L
(VIN
code
Z)
engine with a manual transmission, a
grease fitting is on the clutch housing for lubricating the clutch fork ball stud.
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule for information on how to lubricate the
clutch housing, and what type of lubricant to use. Be sure not to over-fill
because you could
damage
your clutch.
Front Suspension and Steering Linkage
Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often to lubricate the
fittings and what type of lubricant to use.
Front Wheel Bearings (Two-Wheel Drive)
If
your vehicle is two-wheel drive, it has wheel bearings that must be cleaned
and repacked.
Refer
to
the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often this must be
done.
Single Belt Accessory Drive
Your new vehicle uses a serpentine belt that
is
lighter, and more durable than
systems with several belts.
The belt runs over or around the pulleys
on
the engine.
A
tensioner
is
used
to keep the belt tight at all times. The tensioner also makes replacing the
belt easier.
If
you need to replace the belt, be sure to get the correct
replacement belt. Your dealership or parts supplier can help you with this.
The Accessory Drive Belt Routing label on your vehicle will show you how to
route the belt your vehicle uses.
