Lubricant Selection
NOTE:
The presence of water in the gear lubricant will
result in corrosion and possible failure of differ
-
ential components. Operation of the vehicle in
water, as may be encountered in some
off-highway types of service, will require
draining and refilling the axle to avoid damage.
Limited-Slip Differentials
Rear axles equipped with a Limited Slip
Differential require that 5 oz. (148 ml) Mopar
Limited Slip Additive be added to the gear
page 478. The Mopar Limited Slip
Additive should be added to the gear lubricant
whenever a fluid change is made to an axle
equipped with a Limited Slip Differential.
NOTE:
When refilling a limited slip differential axle
which requires a friction modification additive,
the additive should be added before the gear
lubricant to ensure proper additive fill.

FUSES
General Information
WARNING!
When replacing a blown fuse, always use
an appropriate replacement fuse with the
same amp rating as the original fuse. Never
replace a fuse with another fuse of higher
amp rating. Never replace a blown fuse with
metal wires or any other material. Do not
place a fuse inside a circuit breaker cavity
or vice versa. Failure to use proper fuses
may result in serious personal injury, fire
and/or property damage.
Before replacing a fuse, make sure that the
ignition is off and that all the other services
are switched off and/or disengaged.
If the replaced fuse blows again, contact an
authorized dealer.
If a general protection fuse for safety
systems (air bag system, braking system),
power unit systems (engine system, trans
-
mission system) or steering system blows,
contact an authorized dealer.
