Proper Drive Axle Lubricant Level:
• Regular inspection of the drive axle lube levels is an essential main-
tenance procedure.
• The lubricant should be level with bottom of the hole.
• Important: The lube level close enough to the hole to be seen or
touched is not sufficient. The lube must be level with the hole.
• Your differential is filled with API GL-5 or MT-1 type gear lubri-
cant, Pennzoil Gear Plus Super-EW 75w-90.
NOTE: When checking the lube level, also check the housing breathers. Clean
the breathers if dirty, or replace them if damaged.
Greasing the Driveline Universal Joint:
1. Check the driveline for looseness. If loose, service the driveline as necessary.
2. Apply the specified grease at the grease fitting on the universal joint. Apply
grease until the new grease purges from all the seals.
3. If the new grease does not purge at the seals, loosen the bearing cap bolts and
re-grease until all four caps purge. If the new grease still does not purge,
replace the universal joint.
Greasing the Driveline Slip Yoke and Splines:
1. Check the driveline for looseness. If loose, service the driveline as necessary.
2. Cover the air hole so that grease can flow easily to the seal. Apply the spec-
ified grease at the grease fitting on the slip yoke. Apply grease until new
grease purges from the air hole in the end of the slip yoke. Greasing
Intervals-10,000 miles or annually.
