Propeller Shaft Slip Splines/Universal Joints Refer to theMaintenance Schedule todetermine how often the slip and universal joints mustbe lubricated and what type oflubricant to use. Body Normal use of your vehicle will cause metal to metal wear at some points on the cab and body if they are not lubricated. For exposed surfaces, such as door checks, door lock bolts, lock striker plate dovetail bumper wedges, etc.,a thin film of engine oil should be applied. Where oil holes are provided in the body or cab, a dripless oil can be used. The seat adjusters and seat track should be lubricated with chassis grease. Door weatherstrips and rubber hood bumpers should be wiped clean witha wet cloth and lightly coated with a rubber lubricant. Never use too much of any lubricant and besure to wipe up anyextra lubricant when you are finished. Window regulators and controls are inside the doors. They are lubricated with a long lasting grease. If lubrication is required your dealer should perform this service. Refer to the Maintenance Schedule to determine how often to lubricate these items and what type oflubricant to use. Lock Cylinders To be sure your locks operate properly, they must be lubricated.
