Conditions that would require replacement:
•
Rib chunking (one or more ribs has separated from
belt body)
•
Rib or belt wear
•
Longitudinal belt cracking (cracks between two ribs)
•
Belt slips
•
Groove jumping (belt does not maintain correct posi-
tion on pulley)
•
Belt broken (identify and correct problem before
new belt is installed)
•
Noise (objectionable squeal, squeak, or rumble is
heard or felt while drive belt is in operation)
Some conditions can be caused by a faulty component
such as a belt pulley. Belt pulleys should be carefully
inspected for damage and proper alignment.
Belt replacement on some models requires the use of
special tools, we recommend having your vehicle ser-
viced at an authorized dealer.
DRAINING FUEL/WATER
SEPARATOR FILTER
There are two fuel filter assemblies. One is located on
the driver's side of the engine. The best access to this
water drain valve is from under the hood. The second
one is on the under body, located in front of the rear
axle above the drive shaft on pick-up models. The sec-
ond filter location is on the frame behind the front axle.
The best access to this water drain valve is from under
the vehicle.
CAUTION!
•
Do not drain the fuel/water separator filter when
the engine is running.
•
Diesel fuel will damage blacktop paving surfaces.
Drain the filter into an appropriate container.
If water is detected in the water separator while the
engine is running, or while the ignition switch is in the
ON position, the Water In Fuel Indicator Light will illumi-
nate and an audible chime will be heard five times. At
this point you should stop the engine and drain the
water from both of the filters.
CAUTION!
If the Water In Fuel Indicator Light remains on, DO
NOT START the engine before you drain water from
the fuel filters to avoid engine damage.
If the Water In Fuel Indicator Light comes on and a
single chime is heard while you are driving, or with the
ignition switch in the ON position, there may be a prob-
lem with your water separator wiring or sensor. See an
authorized dealer for service.
Upon proper draining of the water from both fuel filters,
the Water In Fuel Indicator Light will remain illuminated
for approximately 10 seconds. If the water was drained
while the engine was running, the Water In Fuel Indica-
tor Light may remain on for approximately three
minutes.
NOTE:
Care should be taken in disposing of used fluids from
your vehicle. Used fluids, indiscriminately discarded,
can present a problem to the environment. Contact an
authorized dealer, service station, or government
agency for advice on recycling programs and for where
used fluids and filters can be properly disposed of in
your area.
Drain the fuel/water separator filters when the Water In
Fuel Indicator Light is ON. Within 10 minutes of vehicle
shutdown, turn the engine mounted filter drain valve
(located on the side of the filter assembly) counter-
clockwise a quarter turn, and turn the under body
mounted filter drain valve (located on the bottom of the
filter assembly) counterclockwise one full turn. Then
turn the ignition switch to the ON position, and allow
any accumulated water to drain. Leave the drain valve
open until all water and contaminants have been
removed. When clean fuel is visible, close the drain
valve following these guidelines:
