Clean area around the check and fill plugs. Remove check
plug. The correct lubricant level is
just
below bottom of
threaded hole. If lubricant is to be added, remove the fill plug
and add lubricant using a funnel. Add lubricant slowly until
lubricant starts to seep from the check plug hole. Install check
plug and fill plug. In the event that lubricant is to be replaced, a
drain plug is provided at the bottom of the differential housing.
AIR CLEANER INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
The air cleaner unit on the vehicle is a dry unit.

use oil on the filter element or any part of the unit. To aide instal-
lation and sealing, petroleum jelly may be applied to back side of cover tabs and each side of filter seal.
Cleaning the Air Filter Element
Do not use compressed air to clean the air filter. Compressed air will damage the filter which may result in
