FOREWORD
This service manual contains diagnosis, “ On-Vehicle” maintenance, and light repair for
Light Duty Truck Models (“ R-V, P-Truck, and G-Van” ). Fuel and emissions related compo
nents for throttle body injection vehicles are covered in a separate manual. Procedures
involving disassem bly and assembly of major components for these vehicles are published
in a separate “ Truck Unit Repair M anual.” W iring diagrams for these models are also
published in a separate “ Truck W iring Diagram” booklet.
This manual should be kept in a handy place for ready reference. If properly used, it will
meet the needs of technicians and vehicle owners.

CAUTION:
These vehicles contain some parts dim ensioned in the metric system as well as in the
customary system. Some fasteners are metric and are very close in dimension to fam iliar
custom ary fasteners in the inch system. It is important to note that, during any vehicle
maintenance procedures, replacement fasteners must have the same measurements and
strength as those removed, whether metric or customary. (Numbers on the heads of metric
bolts and on surfaces of metric nuts indicate their strength. Customary bolts use radial
lines for this purpose, while most custom ary nuts do not have strength markings.) Mis
matched or incorrect fasteners can result in vehicle damage or malfunction, or possibly
personal injury. Therefore, fasteners removed from the vehicle should be saved for re-use
in the same location whenever possible. Where the fasteners are not satisfactory for re
use, care should be taken to select a replacement that m atches the original. For informa
tion and assistance, see your authorized dealer.
CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION

Detroit, Michigan
CAUTION
To reduce the chance of personal injury and/or property damage, the fo l
lowing instructions must be carefully observed.
Proper service and repair are important to the safety of the service techni
cian and the safe, reliable operation of all motor vehicles. If part replacement
is necessary, the part must be replaced with one of the same part number or
with an equivalent part. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality.
The service procedures recommended and described in this service man
ual are effective methods of performing service and repair. Some of these
procedures require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose.
Accordingly, anyone who intends to use a replacement part, service pro
cedure or tool, which is not recommended by the vehicle manufacturer,
must first determine that neither his safety nor the safe operation of the
vehicle will be jeopardized by the replacement part, service procedure or
tool selected.
It is important to note that this manual contains various Cautions and No
tices that must be carefully observed in order to reduce the risk of personal
injury during service or repair, or the possibility that improper service or
repair may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe. It is also important to
understand that these ‘Cautions’ and ‘Notices’ are not exhaustive, because
it is impossible to warn of all the possible hazardous consequences that
might result from failure to follow these instructions.

OA-8 GENERAL INFORMATION
Any tim e a vehicl is lifted with a vehicle jack or a floor
jack, the wheels at the opposite end of the lifted end
should be chocked. Also, jack stands should be used to
provide support. When supporting the vehicle with jack
stands, the jack stands should be placed under the frame,
the front suspension crossm em ber or the axle.
When removing m ajor components of the vehicle while
the vehicle is on a hoist, the vehicle frame should be
chained to the hoist pads in order to prevent tip-off.
NOTICE: When jacking or lifting a vehicle, be
certain that the lift pads do not contact the
catalytic converter, brake lines, brake cables, or
fuel lines. Such contact may result in damage or
unsatisfactory vehicle performance.
EMERGENCY STARTING
YOUR VEHICLE DUE TO A
DISCHARGED BATTERY
If your vehicle will not start due to a discharged battery,
it can often be started by using energy from another
battery - a procedure called “ jum p starting.”
Should your vehicle have an optional diesel engine with
two batteries:
• P models and G Van models — use only the battery on
the driver’s side when jump starting.
• R/V models — use only the battery on the passenger’s
side when jump starting.
These battery locations are closer to the starter, thus
reducing electrical resistance. Ignore the second battery.
NOTICE: Do not push or tow this vehicle to start
it. Under some conditions this may damage the
catalytic converter or other parts of the vehicle.
Also, since this vehicle has a 12 volt battery, be
sure the vehicle or equipm ent used to jum p
start your engine is also 12 volt. Use of any
other type system may damage the vehicle’s
electrical components.
At low temperatures, it may not be possible to start your
diesel engine from a single battery in another vehicle.
However, you can use your vehicle to jum p start another
vehicle.
JUMP STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Batteries produce explosive gases,
contain corrosive acid, and supply levels of
electrical current high enough to cause burns.
Therefore, to reduce the risk of personal injury
when working near a battery:
• Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning
over the battery whenever possible.
• Do not expose the battery to open flames
or sparks.
• Be sure any batteries that have filler caps
are properly filled with fluid.
• Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes
of skin. Flush any contacted area with
water immediately and throughly, and get
medical help.
• Follow each step in the jump starting
instructions.

1. Position the vehicle with the good (charged) battery so
that the booster (jumper) cables will reach, but never
let the vehicles touch. Also, be sure booster cables do
not have loose or missing insulation.
2. In both vehicles:
• Turn o ff th e ig n itio n and a ll lig h ts and
accessories except the hazard flasher or any
lights needed for the work area.
• Apply the parking brake firmly, and shift the
autom atic transm ission to Park (or manual
transmission to Neutral).
3. Making sure the cable clamps do not touch any other
metal parts, clamp one end of the first booster cable to
the positive ( + ) terminal on one battery, and the other
end to the positive terminal on the other battery (figure
12). Never connect ( + ) to (-).
4. Clamp one end of the second cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the good (charged) battery and make the
final connection to a heavy metal bracket (such as the
mounting bracket for the generator or air conditioner
compressor if so equipped) on the engine about 450
millimeters (18 inches) from the discharged battery.
Make sure the cables are not on or near pulleys, fans,
or other parts that will move when the engine is
started.
5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good (charged)
battery and run the engine at a moderate speed for
several minutes. Then, start the engine of the vehicle
that has the discharged battery.
6. Remove the booster cables by reversing the above
installation sequence exactly. While removing each
clamp, take care it does not touch any other metal
while the other end remains attached.
GRAPHIC SYMBOLS
G raphic sym bols are used on som e controls and

Models are prim arily dim ensioned in the metric system.
Many fasteners are m etric and are very close in dim en
sion to well-known custom ary fasteners in the inch sys
tem. It is most important that replacement fasteners be of
the correct nominal diameter, thread pitch and strength.
the metric M6.0X1 screw which has nearly the same diam
eter and has 25.4 threads per inch. The thread pitch is in
between the custom ary coarse and fine thread pitches.
Original equipm ent metric fasteners (except “ beauty”
bolts, such as exposed bum per bolts, and cross recess
head screws) are identified by a number marking indica
ting the strength of the material in the fastener as outlined
later. Metric cross recess screws are identified by a Posi
driv or Type 1A shown in figure 14. Either a Phillips head
or Type 1A cross recess screwdriver can be used in Posi
driv recess screw heads, but Type 1A cross recess screw
drivers will perform better.
FASTENER STRENGTH
IDENTIFICATION
NOTICE: Most m etric fasteners have a blue
color coating. However, this should not be used
as positive identification as some fasteners are
not color coated.
General Motors Engineering Standards, along with
other North American Industries, have adopted a portion
of the standard metric fastener sizes defined by ISO (In
ternational Standards Organization). This was done to re
duce the num ber of fastener sizes used and yet retain the
best strength qualities in each thread size. For example,
the customary 1/4-20 and 1M-28 screws are replaced by
Metric and customary thread notation differ slightly. The
difference is shown in figure 15.
Most comm only used metric fastener strength property
classes are 9.8 and 10.9 with the class identification
embossed on the head of each bolt. Custom ary (inch)
strength classes range from grade 2 to 8 with radial line
identification embossed on each bolt head. M arkings
correspond to two lines less than the actual grade (i.e.
grade 7 bolt will exhibit 5 embossed radial lines on the
bolt head). Some metric nuts will be marked with single
digit strength identification numbers on the nut face.
Figure 14 shows the different strength markings.
When replacing metric fasteners, be careful to use bolts
and nuts of the same strength or greater than the original
fasteners (the same num ber marking or higher). It is
likewise important to select replacement fasteners of the
correct size. Correct replacement bolts metric fasteners
available in the aftermarket parts channels were designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United
States, and may be of a lower strength, may not have the
num bered head m arking system , and may be of a

M 12 x 1.75
PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
A prevailing torque nut is designed to develop an
interference between the nut and bolt threads. This is
most often accom plished by distortion of the top of an
all-metal nut by using a nylon patch on the threads in the
middle of the hex flat. A nylon insert may also be used as
a method of interference between nut and bolt threads
(figure 16).
A prevailing torque bolt is designed to develop an
interference between bolt and nut threads, or the threads
of a tapped hole. This is accomplished by distorting some
of the threads or by using a nylon patch or adhesive
(figure 12).
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REUSE:
1. Clean, unrusted prevailing torque nuts and bolts may
be reused as follows:
a. Clean dirt and other foreign material off the nut
or bolt.
b. Inspect the nut or bolt to insure there are no
cracks, elongation, or other signs of abuse or
overtightening. (If there is any doubt, replace
with a new prevailing torque fastener or equal or
greater strength).
c. Assemble the parts and hand start the nut or
bolt.
d. Observe that, before fastener seats, it develops
torque per the chart in figure 10 (if there is any
doubt, replace with a new prevailing torque
fastener of equal or greater strength).
e. Tighten the fastener to the torque specified in the
appropriate section of this manual.
2. Bolts and nuts which are rusty or damaged should be
replaced with new parts or equal or greater strength.

1A-2 HEATING
R/V AND G SERIES HEATERS-DESCRIPTION
Heating com ponents are attached to the right side of
the cowl. The blower and air inlet assembly and water
hoses are located on the forward side of the cowl panel
while the heater core and distributor duct are on the pas
senger side.
The heater system is an air-mix type system in which
outside air is heated and then mixed in varying amounts
with cooler outside air to attain the desired air tempera
ture. The system consists of (1) a blower and air inlet as
sembly, (2) a heater distributor assembly and (3) a heater
control assembly.
BLOWER AND AIR INLET
ASSEMBLY
The blower and air inlet assembly draws outside air
through the outside air inlet grille located forward of the
windshield reveal m olding and channels the air into the
heater distributor assembly. The operation of the blower
motor is controlled by the fan switch on the heater control.
The motor is connected in series with the fan switch and
the blower resistor assembly.
HEATER DISTRIBUTOR
ASSEMBLY
The heater distributor assem bly houses the heater core
and the doors necessary to control mixing and channeling
of the air. Since the unit has no water valve, water
circulation keeps the core hot at all times. That portion of
the air passing through the core receives m axim um heat
from the core. A ir entering the distributor assembly is
channeled as follows:
Air entering the distributor can be directed out the
purge door opening on the right end of the distributor
assembly by the temperature door. If the temperature
door is closed, air is directed through and/or around the
heater core by the temperature door. Air is then directed
into the passenger com partm ent through the heater (floor)
outlets and/or the defroster (dash) outlets by the defroster
door. The temperature of the outlet air is dependent on
the ratio of heated to unheated air (controlled by the
temperature door).

R/V SERIES AUXILIARY HEATER
DESCRIPTION
An auxiliary heater provides additional heating capacity
for the rear of the Suburban model.
T his unit operates in d ep en d en tly of the standard
heater, and is regulated through its own controls at the
instrum ent panel.
This system consists of a separate core and fan unit
mounted in the rear of the vehicle.
Heater hoses extend from the unit to the front of the
vehicle where they are connected to the standard heater
hoses with “ tees.” An “ on-off” vacuum operated valve is
installed in the heater core inlet line in the engine
compartm ent. This valve cuts off coolant flow to the
auxiliary core during warm weather and elim inates radiant
heat (figure 18).
Two control methods are used:
COOLANT-CONTROL VALVE
When heat is desired, and the blower switch is any
position except off, a vacuum operated valve controlled by
the switch, opens the coolant line to perm it hot coolant
circulation through the heater core. In the OFF position
the valve is closed to prevent unwanted heat.
BLOWER SWITCH
The th re e-sp ee d blow er sw itch is loca te d in the
instrum ent panel to the right of the steering column.

HEATER HOSE ROUTING
Heater hoses are routed from the therm ostat housing or
in le t m a n ifo ld and w a te r p u m p (ra d ia to r on som e
automatic transm ission vehicles) to the core inlet and
outlet pipes. Hoses are a ttached at each end with
screw-type clamps. (Refer to figures 20, 21 and 22).
REPLACEMENT
W hen replacing heater hoses, m aintain a 13 mm
(1/2-inch) m inimum clearance between the hose clip and
the upper control arm, a 38 mm (11/2-inch) minimum
clearance between the hoses and the propshaft, and a 32
mm (11/4-inch) m inimum clearance between the auxiliary
heater core lines and the exhaust pipe.
The heater core can be dam aged near the tube
attachm ent seams if force is applied on them . If the
heater hoses do not come off, cut the hoses forward of
the core tubes. Cut the hose on the core tubes to remove.
Im portant
Draw hoses tight to prevent sagging or rubbing against
other components. Route hoses through all clamps as
installed originally.

G SERIES AUXILIARY HEATER
DESCRIPTION
An auxiliary heater provides additional heating for the
rear area of the vehicle.
It operates independently of the standard heater, and is
regulated through its own control at the instrum ent panel.
This system consists of a separate core fan vent
(figures 27 and 28).
Heater hoses extend from the unit to the front of the
vehicle where they are connected to the standard heater
hoses with “ tees.”
There are two control methods:
COOLANT-CONTROL VALVE
An “ o n-off” vacuum -operated, coolant-control valve
in s ta lle d in th e h e a te r c o re in le t in th e e n g in e
com partm ent controls coolant flow to the auxiliary heater
and elim inates radiant heat during warm weather. To
d ia g n o s e th e v a c u u m
s y s te m
re fe r to A IR
CONDITIONING (SEC. 1B).
BLOWER SWITCH
For heating, the blower switch is placed in any position
except off. The switch opens the coolant-control valve
which permits hot coolant to enter the heater core. In the
OFF position, the valve is closed to prevent unwanted
heat during warm weather.

CCOT A/C SYSTEM
During cooling, the air is cooled by the evaporator to
below comfort level then warmed by the heater to the
d e s ire d te m p e ra tu re . D u rin g “ h e a tin g o n ly ” th e
evaporator does not operate, and ambient air is warmed
to the desired level in the same manner.
The CCOT (Cycling Clutch Orifice Tube) A/C system
perform s heating and cooling. Air enters the vehicle and
passes through the cooling unit (evaporator) and through
(or around) the heating unit. The system is called a
“ reheat” system. The evaporator cools the air passing
through the core when the air conditioning system is in
the cooling mode.
On R/V and G series, a pressure sensing switch,
lo ca te d n ear the top of the a ccu m u la to r, c o n tro ls
compressor operation. The switch responds to pressure
changes to turn the compressor ON or OFF.
REAR INTERIOR ROOF
MOUNTED SYSTEMS
(SUBURBAN & G SERIES)
These systems operate with the front system - they do
not operate independently. However, control of the rear
System operation:
Outside air or recirculated air enters the system and is
forced through the system by the blower. As the air
passes throught he evaporator core, it receives maximum
cooling if the air conditioning controls are positioned for
cooling.
From the evaporator, the air enters the heater and air
conditioner selector duct assembly where, by means of
diverter doors, it passes through or bypasses the heater
core in proportions necessary to provide the desired
outlet temperature. The air enters the vehicle through
either the floor distributor duct or the dash outlets.

the evaporator core into the passenger compartm ent
through the air distributor duct. The front system controls
the rear system. A three-speed blower switch controls the
rear interior roof mounted system.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVE
Suburban and G rear interior roof mounted and motor
home chassis systems use a therm ostatic expansion
valve (figure 1).
The valve co n sists of the pow er e lem ent, body,
actuating pins, seat and orifice. At the high pressure
liquid inlet, a fine mesh screen prevents dirt, filings or
other foreign matter from entering the valve orifice.
When the valve is connected in the system, high
pressure liquid refrigerant enters the valve through the
screen from the receiver-dehydrator or condenser and
passes on to the seat and orifice where it changes into a
low pressure liquid.
The low pressure liquid leaves the valve and flows into
the evaporator core where it absorbs heat from the
evaporator core and changes to a low pressure vapor and
leaves the evaporator core. The power element bulb is
clamped to the low pressure vapor line just beyond the
outlet of the evaporator.
ACCUMULATOR R/V & G SERIES
The accum ulator is located at the evaporator outlet. It
separates liquid retained from vapor, retains the liquid and
releases the vapor to the compressor (figure 2).
Flow from the accum ulator to the compressor consists
of vapor, entrained liquid and liquid flow through the oil
bleed hole.
A bag of desiccant (dehydrating agent), located in the
accumulator, collects moisture.
There is no sight glass in the accum ulator with the
CCOT system.
ORIFICE (EXPANSION TUBE) R/V & G SERIES
P ressure d iffe re n c e s and su b -co o lin g d ete rm ine s
expansion tube flow. The o rifice is located in the
evaporator inlet line (figure 3).
CYCLING PRESSURE SWITCH
This switch controls evaporator temperature. It cycles
th e c o m p re s s o r c lu tc h o ff w h e n th e e v a p o ra to r
temperature gets too low. It cycles the compressor back
on after evaporator tem perature has increased (figure 4).

T he c y c lin g p re s s u re s w itc h p ro v id e s in h e re n t
compressor protection so a separate low pressure switch
is not necessary. The switch also acts as an ambient
switch since at ambient freezing temperatures it will not
allow the compressor to engage. Adjusting the set screw
one-half turn left or right will rise or lower the settings 20.7
kPa (3 psi).

REFRIGERANT-12 OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
SYSTEM COMPONENTS,
TEMPERATURE AND
PRESSURE RELATIONSHIPS
To review system components and Refrigerant-12 flow,
refer to figure 9.
To find the pressure and tem perature relationship
between Refrigerant-12 and atmospheric pressure, refer
to figure 10.
REFRIGERANT AND OIL CAPACITY
The refrigerant system requires refrigerant and oil in
quantities listed:
1. Refrigerant-12 —
C60 System
R/V M o d e ls ............................ 1.588 Kg (3 lbs. 8 ozs.)
G M odels.................................1.588 Kg (3 lbs. 8 ozs.)
Rear In te rio r S ystem
RA?- M o d e ls ............................ 2.381 Kg (5 lbs. 4 ozs.)
G M od els.................................2.041 Kg (4 lbs. 8 ozs.)
2. 525 Viscosity Oil — 0.284 Kg (10 oz.).
HANDLING REFRIGERANT-12
A ir co nditioning system s contain Refrigerant-12, a
c h e m ica l w hich requires sp ecial h an dling to avoid
personal injury.
Always wear goggles and wrap a clean cloth around
fittin g s , valves and co n n e ctio n s when o pening the
system. Work in a ventilated area and do not weld or
steam clean near air conditioning lines or components.
Refrigerant-12 drums are shipped with a metal screw
cap that protects the valve and safety plug from damage.
Replace the cap after each use.
Do not carry a co nta ine r of Refrigerant-12 in the
passenger compartment of a vehicle. Never subject any
container to high temperatures. Do not breathe the smoke
or fumes produced by burning Refrigerant-12.
If R e frig e ra n t-1 2 to u c h e s e xp o se d fle sh do th e
following:
• Treat the area as if it were frost bitten or frozen.
• Call a doctor or eye specialist and obtain treatment.
• DO NOT RUB THE EYE. Splash the area with cold
water to raise temperature above the freezing point.
• Use an antiseptic oil to provide a protective film over
the eyeball to reduce the possibility of infection.
HANDLING OF REFRIGERANT
LINES AND FITTINGS
Tighten tubing connections to the specified torque
(figure 11). Insufficient or excessive torque causes loose
joints or deformed joint parts. Either condition can cause
refrigerant leakage.
• All metal tubing lines should be free of dents or
kinks to prevent loss of system capacity due to a line
restriction.
• Never bend a flexible hose line to a radius of less
than 4 times the diameter of the hose.
• Never place a flexible hose line closer than 65 mm
(2 1/2-inch) to the exhaust manifold.
• Inspect flexible hose lines regularly for leaks or
brittleness and replace if necessary.
• When disconnecting any fitting in the refrigeration
system discharge the system. However proceed with
caution. Open slowly. Keep face and hands away to
prevent injury if there is liquid Refrigerant-12 in the
line. Allow any pressure to bleed off as described
under “ Discharging, Evacuating, Adding Oil And
Charging And Discharging The System .”
• Cap or tape any line open to atmosphere to prevent
dirt and moisture from entering the system.
• Use proper wrenches when making connections on
seal (o-ring) fittings. Use two wrenches to prevent
distorting the lines or components.
• When connecting the flexible hose connections,
hold the swaged fittin g , the flare nut and the
coupling at the same time using three different
w re n c h e s to p re v e n t tu rn in g th e fittin g and
damaging the ground seat.
• Use seals (o-rings) in good condition. A burr or
piece of dirt may cause a leak.
• Replace the seal when a connection has been
broken. When replacing the seal first dip it in clean
525 viscosity refrigeration oil.
• When making steel to aluminum connections, use
the torque for aluminum tubing. (Refer to figure 11).
MAINTAINING CHEMICAL
STABILITY
T he e ffic ie n t o p e ra tio n of th e a ir c o n d itio n in g
refrigeration system is dependent upon the chemical
stability of Refrigerant-12.
F o re ig n m a tte r ca n c h a n g e th e s ta b ility of
R efrige ran t-12 , ca use c o rro s io n and wear. Do the
following:
1. Before disco nn ectin g a refrigerant connection,
remove dirt or oil at and near the connection. Cap or
plug both sides of the connection.
2. Keep tools clean and dry.
3. When adding 525 viscosity refrigerant oil (refer to
ADDING O IL in the D ischa rg ing , E vacuating,
Adding Oil and Charging Procedures for CCOT A/C
systems), the transfer device and container should
be clean and dry.
4. Have everything ready before opening a line. Do not
leave the A/C system open longer than necessary.
5. After opening, evacuate before recharging with
R efrigerant-12 a ccordin g to the “ D ischarging,
Evacuating, Adding Oil, Charging And Discharging
The System .”
6. Service parts are dehydrated and seated before
shipping. Open just before making connections.
Keep at room temperature before uncapping (this
prevents moisture from entering the system). If the
connections are not made, reseal the parts.

REFRiGERANT - 12
PRESSURE - TEMPERATURE
RELATIONSHIP
The table below indicates the pressure of Refriger
ant - 12 at various temperatures. For instance, a
drum of Refrigerant at a temperature of 26.6°C
(80°F) will have a pressure of 579.9 kPa (84.1 psi).
If it is heated to 51.6°C (125°F), the pressure will
increase to 1 154.9 kPa (167.5 psi). It also can be
used conversely to determine the temperature at
which Refrigerant - 12 boils under various pres
sures. For example, at a pressure of 207.5 kPa
(30.1 psi), Refrigerant - 12 boils at 0°C (32°F).

LEAK TESTING THE
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
J-29547—AUTO BALANCE REFRIGERANT
LEAK DETECTOR
Electronic circuitry detects refrigerant or halogen gas
leaks as small as 1/2 oz. per year. J-29547 features a
slide-type on-off sw itch that also resets the unit in
contaminated areas.
Audible and visual leak detection is provided by a
change in signal tone and flashing LED built into the 45.7
cm (18-inch) flexible probe. A 102 cm (40-inch) coiled
extension permits detection in hard to reach places.
A green LED battery life monitor glows to indicate
sufficient operating voltage when the unit is on. Field
service is possible with replacement tips, filters and a
sensing element which can be cleaned with common
solvent.
PRESSURE SENSING SWITCH
A pressure sensing switch located near the top of the
accumulator, cycles the compressor clutch on R/V and G
series systems. The switch also shuts off the compressor
clutch when there is a low refrigerant charge.
The A/C system does not have to be discharged to
replace the switch. The pressure switch fitting is equipped
with a schrader-type valve.
W hen replacing the switch, use a new oiled seal
(o-ring), and torque to 10 N-m (90 in. lbs.).
Refer to the following trouble shooting charts:

ELECTRICAL/VACUUM TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
When diagnosing problems in the electrical and vac
uum systems, refer to “ System Operation” and “ Func
tional Test.” For electrical wiring and vacuum diagrams,
refer to figures 17, 18, 19, and 20.
Ports on rotary vacuum valves are illustrated to provide
simplicity in following vacuum schematic lines but are
numbered in consecutive order on the actual valve.
OPERATIONAL TEST
To determine if the electrical, vacuum and refrigeration
systems are operating efficiently, do the following:
1. Operate the blower at four speeds and check the
compressor clutch engagem ent. This indicates that
the electrical circuits are working.
2. Check the hand felt temperature of the evaporator
inlet pipe and accum ula tor surface. The same
temperature indicates a properly charged system.
3. Operate the A/C control selector (mode) lever to
distribute air from the outlets. This will check the
vacuum and diaphragm function.

VACUUM SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
R/V AND G SERIES
Start the engine and allow it to idle. Move the selector
lever to each position and refer to the vacuum diagrams
and operational charts for airflow, air door functioning and
vacuum circuits. If air flow is not out of the proper outlet at
each selector lever position do the following:
L*
Inspect
1. The hose connections at the vacuum actuators,
control head valve and vacuum tank.
2. The vacuum source circuit:
• Install a vacuum tee and gage (with restrictor) at the
vacuum tank outlet. Idle the engine and read the
vacuum (a normal vacuum is equivalent to manifold
vacuum) at all selector lever positions.
• Vacuum less than normal at all positions.
Remove the tee and connect the vacuum gage line
to the tank - read the vacuum. If still low, then the
problem lies in the feed circuit, the feed circuit to the
tank or in the tank itself. If vacuum is now normal,
then the problem lies downstream.
• Vacuum less than normal at some positions.
If vacuum was low at one or several of the selector
lever positions, a leak is indicated in these circuits.
• Vacuum normal at all positions.
If vacuum was normal and even at all positions, then
the m alfunction may be caused by im p rop erly
connected or plugged lines or a m alfunctioning
vacuum valve or valves.
3. Specific vacuum circuit check:
• Place the selector lever in the m alfu nctio nin g
position and check for vacuum at the pertinent
vacuum actuators.
• If vacuum exists at the actuator but the door does
not move, then the actuator is defective or the door
is jammed.
• If low or no vacuum exits at the actuator determine
whether the cause is the vacuum harness or the
vacuum valve.
• Check the vacuum harness first.
4. Vacuum harness circuit check:
• Disconnect the vacuum harness at the control head.
• The black line should show engine vacuum; if not,
trace back through connector to vacuum tank.
• To check any individual circuit, place the selector
lever at the involved circuit position and check for
vacuum presence.
EVACUATING AND CHARGING PROCEDURES
EVACUATION AND
CHARGING PROCEDURES
Before opening any refrigerant hose or component,
read the information furnished in:
• Refrigerant-12 Operating Characteristics.
• Discharging, Evacuating, Adding Oil and Charging.
Remove sealing caps from subassem blies before
m aking connections for final assembly. Use a small
amount of clean 525 viscosity refrigerant oil on all tube
and hose joints.
Use new seal (o-ring) dipped in the clean 525 viscosity
refrigerant oil when assembling joints. The oil will aid in
assembly and help provide a leak-proof joint.
When tightening joints, use a second wrench to hold
the stationary part of the connection.
Tighten all tubing connections (figure 11). Insufficient or
excessive torque can cause loose joints or deformed joint
parts. Either condition can cause leakage.
DISCHARGING, EVACUATING
ADDING OIL AND
CHARGING PROCEDURES
Discharge, evacuate and charge using J-23500-01 air
conditioning service Charging Station or the J-5725-04
Manifold Gage Set, and 0.397 kg. (14 oz.) disposable
cans of Refrigerant-12 (figures 21 and 22).
Use gage adapters to connect the charging lines from
the charging station or manifold and gage set to system
service fittings. A straight gage Adapter J-5420 and a 90°
angle gage Adapter J-9459 is available.
Wear goggles and wrap a clean cloth around fittings
and connections.
• D is c h a rg e th e sys te m b e fo re re m o v in g
replacing refrigeration lines or components.
and
• Use the service valve and pressure gage sets during
evacuation and charging procedures.
• Do not charge while the compressor system is hot.
• Always discharge the system at the low side service
fitting and perform the evacuation and charging
procedure through the low side service fitting.
• Do not connect the high pressure line or any line to
the high side service fitting during discharging and
charging procedures.
CAUTION: Never remove a gage line from its
adapter when the line is connected to the A/C
system. Always remove the line adapter from
the service fitting to disconnect a line. Do not
rem ove ch argin g hose at gage set w h ile
attached to service low side fitting. This will
discharge the system due to the depressed
schrader valve in service low side fitting and
may cause personal injury due to escaping

3. With the low side of the system discharged, check
the high side system fitting (on the liquid line or
muffler) for rem aining pressure.
4. If pressure is found, attempt to discharge the high
side using the same procedure as used for the low
side. (This condition indicates a restriction on the
high side. Diagnose and correct before evacuating
and charging).
5. After discharging, (no vapor escaping with the hose
fu lly-tightened down), m easure and record the
amount. If 0.0014 kg. (.05 ounce) or more, add this
amount of new 525 viscosity refrigerant oil plus any

1B-26 AIR CONDITIONING
GAGE CALIBRATION
Before evacuation, check the low pressure gage for
p ro p e r c a lib ra tio n and vacuum system fo r p ro p e r
o p e ra tio n . W ith th e g a g e d is c o n n e c te d from the
refrigeration system, be sure that the pointer indicates to
the center of “ 0.” Tap the gage to be sure the pointer is
not sticking. If necessary, calibrate as follows:
• Remove the cover from the gage.
• Holding the gage pointer adjusting screw with
one hand, carefully force the pointer in the
proper direction to position the pointer at the
“ 0 ” position. Tap the gage to be sure the
pointer is not sticking. Replace the gage cover.
VACUUM SYSTEM CHECK
Before connecting the vacuum pump to the A/C system
run the pump connected to the low pressure gage to
determine the vacuum pump capability. If the vacuum
system is unable to reach 711.2 - 736.6 mm (28 to 29
inches) or more vacuum check for leaks. If no leaks are
found check the vacuum pump.
CHARGING STATION METHOD
Follow the J-23500-01 Charging Station instructions.
Use with the following exceptions:
1. Do not connect the high pressure line to the air
conditioning system.
2. Keep the high pressure valve on the charging
station closed.
3. P erform th e e vacu ate and ch arge p ro c e d u re
through the accum ulator low side pressure service
fitting.
4. Following these procedures will prevent high side
pressure from dam aging the charging station if an
error is made during the sequence.
DISPOSABLE CAN OR
MULTI-CAN METHOD
Tools Required:
J-6271-01 Single Can Refrigerant Dispensing Valve
J-6272-02 Four Can Refrigerant Dispensing Valve
1. Use tool J-6271-01 for single can or m ulti-can
dispensing unit.
2. Use tool J-6272-02 multi-can open valve. When
using disposable cans, close the tapping valve and
then attach the can(s) following the instructions
included with the tapping valve or tapping manifold
adapter.
REFRIGERANT DRUM METHOD
Tool required:
J-23390 Refrigerant Dispensing Valve
1. Use tool J-23390 for a 5.443 kg (12 lb.) can. A 13.608
kg (30 lb.) can has a built in opener-valve. Place the
drum on a scale and note weight before charging.
During charging, watch the scale to determine the
amount used.
Im portant
• C lo s e th e o u tle t v a lv e on th e o p e n e r
(clockwise) before installing the opener to the
R-12 container.
• To evacuate the A/C system install Manifold
Gage Set and Vacuum Pump.
• SLOWLY open high and low side gage
v a lv e s a nd b e g in v a c u u m p u m p
operation. Pump the system until the low
side gage reaches 459 - 475 mm (28 to
29 inches of mercury [vacuum]) or more.
The evacuation procedure will specify 459 475 mm (28 to 29 inches) of mercury at sea
level. For each 304.8 mm (1,000 ft.) above sea
level, lower the specification by one inch of
vacuum. At 1524 mm (5,000) feet elevation
only 376.9 mm (23 to 24 inches) of vacuum is
required.
If the prescribed m ercury (vacuum) cannot be
reached, close the vacuum control valve, shut
off the pum p and look for a leak at the
connections or the pump.
2. When the gage reaches the prescribed vacuum, the
system is evacuated. Close the high side gage set
valve and turn OFF the vacuum pump.
3. Watch the low side gage to be sure vacuum holds
for five minutes. If the vacuum holds, disconnect the
vacuum hose at the gage set and then proceed to
charging.
4. If the vacuum does not hold for five minutes, charge
the system with 0.227 kg. (8 ounces) Refrigerant-12
and leak check. Discharge the system again and
repair any leaks. Repeat the evacuation procedure.
CHARGING THE SYSTEM
1. Start the engine, run with the choke open and the
fast idle speed reduced to normal idle, set the A/C
control lever on OFF.
2. W ith the drum or 0.397 kg (14 ounces) can(s)
inverted, open source valve(s) and allow 0.454 Kg
(one (1) pound) or more 0.397 kg (14 ounces) can of
liquid Refrigerant-12 to enter the system through low
side service fitting on accumulator.
3. When one 0.454 Kg (1 pound) or one 0.397 kg (14
ounces) can of liquid Refrigerant-12 enters the
system, engage the compressor by setting the A/C
control lever to NORM and blower speed on HI to
draw in the remainder of the charge.
To speed Up the operation, use a fan to pass air over
the condenser. If the condenser temperature remains
below the charging cylinder temperature, Refrigerant-12
will enter the system faster.
4. Shut off the source valve and run the engine for 30
seconds to clear lines and gages.
5. With the engine running, remove the charging low
side hose adapter from the accum ulator service
fitting. Unscrew rapidly to prevent Refrigerant-12
from escaping.
AIR CONDITIONING 1B-27
CAUTION: Never remove a gage line from its
adapter when the line is connected to the A/C
system. Always remove the line adapter from
the service fitting to disconnect a line. Do NOT
remove the charging hose at the gage set while
it is attached to the accumulator. This will
discharge the system because of the depressed
schrader valve in service low side fitting. Also,
th e e sc a p in g R e frig e ra n t-1 2 may cause
personal injury.
6. Replace the protective cap on the accum ulator
fitting.
7. Turn the engine off.
8. Leak the check system with a J-6084 Leak Detector.
9. Start the engine.
10. With the system charged and leak-checked, operate
the system and test for pressures as outlined under
R e la tive H um idity, T em p eratu re and P ressure
Relationship of Refrigerant-12 (figure 10).
ACCUMULATOR ASSEMBLY
The accum ulator assem bly has a service replacement
which includes two seals (o-rings for the inlet and outlet
connections). The desiccant is NOT serviced separately it is part of the sealed accum ulator assembly. Refer to
CCOT Refrigerant Oil and Distribution for presence of
refrigerant oil and service conditions when removing the
accum ulator from the vehicle to measure the oil.
Replace the accum ulator assembly when:
1. A physical perforation prduces a leak.
2. The (o rifice ) screen e xpe rie nce s co n tin u e d or
repeated plugging.
3. An evaporator fails because of inside-out internal
corrosion.
DO NOT REPLACE the accum ula tor assem bly
where:
1. A dent is found in the outer shell of the accumulator.
2. A vehicle is involved in a collision and there is no
perforation to the accum ulator. Cap or place a
plastic bag around an open refrigerant line.
SPECIFIC COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS
COMPRESSOR
Com pressor defects can appear as noise, seizures,
leakage or low discharge pressures.
N O TIC E: R esonant c o m p res so r noises are
normal; however, irregular noise or rattles may
indicate broken parts or wear. To check seizure,
de-energize the magnetic clutch and rotate the
d riv e p la te . If ro ta tio n is im p o s s ib le the
compressor is seized.
To ch eck for a leak, refer to “ Leak Testing The
Refrigerant System.” A faulty internal seal, a restriction or
an in s u ffic ie n t re frig e ra n t ch arge can cause a low
discharge pressure. Check before servicing.
1. Valve stuck open.
— Noisy compressor.
— No cooling - freeze up.
2. Valve stu ck c lo se d , broken pow er e le m e n t or
plugged screen.
— Very low suction pressure.
—- No cooling.
3. Poorly located power element bulb.
— Normal pressure.
— Poor cooling.
DIAGNOSIS FOR MALFUNCTIONING VALVE
CONDENSER
A condenser may leak or be restricted. A restriction will
cause excessive compressor discharge pressure. If a
partial restriction is present, ice or frost will form after the
restriction as the refrigerant expands after passing
through the restriction.
Air flow restrictions through the condenser or radiator
can cause high discharge pressures. During normal
condenser operation, the outlet pipe will be cooler than
the inlet pipe.
EXPANSION VALVE
There are five expansion valve malfunctions: valve
stuck open, valve stuck closed, broken power element, a
restricted screen or an improperly located or installed
power element bulb. To correct the first three conditions,
replace the valve; to correct the last two, replace the valve
inlet screen and properly install a power element bulb.
Operating the system will indicate valve trouble.
U se th e fo llo w in g
malfunctioning valve.
p ro c e d u re
to
d e te rm in e
a
1. Operate the system at normal idle. If the valve is
m a lfu n c tio n in g , th e low p re s s u re re a d in g s
(evaporator pressure) will be above specifications
(figure 10).
2. The loss of system performance is not as evident
when the compressor head pressure is below 1379
kPa (200 psi). Increase the system head pressure by
partially blocking the condenser. Disconnect the
b lo w e r lead w ire and o p e ra te th e syste m to
d e te rm in e if th e e v a p o ra to r p re ssu re can be
obtained.
EVAPORATOR
An inade qu a te su p p ly of cool air can cause the
evaporator to m alfunction. Check for a plugged core, a
cracked case or a leaking seal.
1B-28 AIR CONDITIONING
REFRIGERANT LINE
RESTRICTIONS
There are three refrigerant line restrictions:
1. Suction Line - A restriction will cause low suction
pressure at the compressor, low discharge pressure
and little or no cooling.
2. D isch a rg e Lin e - A re s tric tio n w ill ca use the
pressure relief valve to open.
3. Liquid Line - A restriction will be caused by low
discharge and suction pressure, and insufficient
cooling.
REFRIGERANT-11 FLUSHING
PROCEDURE
Tool Required:
J-33883 Air Conditioning Flushing Kit
Flush the system when:
1. A compressor has failed resulting in debris in the air
conditioning system refrigerant components or oil.
2. Inspection of the orifice tube shows the inlet screen
to be 25% or more coated with debris.
3. Refrigerant oil is overcharged or contaminated.
Follow the kit’s instructions and flush each component
separately allowing the Refrigerant-11 to soak in each
component for five minutes.
Flushing the system requires approximately 6.804 kg
(15 lbs.) of R-11 and 1.814 (4 lbs.) of R-12 and up to 0.312
kg (11 oz.) of 525 viscosity refrigerant oil. The actual
quantities of R-11, R-12 and oil depends on the system,
the number of components flushed and the amount of
debris in each component.
Remove Refrigerant-11 by purging each components
with Refrigerant-12 followed by a system evacuation.
Refer to “ On-Vehicle Service” for removal procedures
for the system ’s com ponents. Cap or plug all open
connections when removing the components.

2A-2 FRAME AND BUMPERS
R/V AND P MODEL FRAMES
DESCRIPTION
The models covered under this part of the section
include R/V, and P. The service information for the G
model will be found in the underbody portion of this
section.
Proper frame alignm ent is important to assure normal
life and functioning of many other parts of the vehicle. If
the vehicle has been involved in a fire, collision, or has
been overloaded, there is cause to check the frame
a lig n m e n t. If, fo r any o th e r re a so n , a lig n m e n t is
suspected it should be checked. A procedure for this is
described later in this section under “ Checking Frame
Alignm ent.”
It is possible that certain conditions make the frame
appear to be out of alignm ent when, in fact, it is not.
These conditions are also described under “ Checking
Frame Alignm ent.”
Terms used later in this section are briefly defined
below:
1. SECTION MODULUS—This is a measure of the
strength of a frame, based on height, width, thickness
and shape of the side rails. It does not account for the
strength of the material used in the frame.
2. YIELD STRENGTH—This is a measure of the strength
of the material from which the frame is made. It is the
maximum load measured in kPa (psi) that can be
placed on a material and still have it return to its
original shape.
3. RESISTANCE TO BENDING MOMENT (RBM)—This is
a single measure of frame strength that accounts for
both the section modulus and the strength of the
material used. It is the product of section modulus and
yield strength.
4. SAG—This refers to a frame or side rail that is bent
down from where it should be.
5. BUCKLE—This refers to a frame or side rail that is
bent up from where it should be.
6. DIAMOND—This refers to the condition where one
entire frame rail is moved forward from, or to the rear
of, its correct alignment with the other rail.
7. TWIST—This refers to the condition where the entire
frame has been twisted. One rail will basically slope up
while the other rail will basically slope down.
8. SIDESWAY—This refers to a side rail that is bent to the
side of where it should be.
9. TRACKING—This refers to the alignment of the vehicle
axles with each other. A misaligned frame can cause
improper tracking. If the vehicle is tracking correctly, all
axles will be parallel to each other and perpendicular
to the center line of frame.
10. WEB—The vertical part of a channel-type frame rail.
DIAGNOSIS OF THE FRAME
PROBLEM
Sag
POSSIBLE CAUSE
CORRECTION
1. Loads greater than the fram e is de
signed to carry.
2. Uneven load distribution.
3. Abrupt changes in section modulus. (For
a brief definition of section modulus, see
the “ Description” at the beginning of this
section.
4. Improper body, or accessory, mounting:
— Holes drilled in the flange of the frame
rail.
— Too many holes in the web section of the
rail.
— Holes in the web section which are too
close to each other.
— Four or more holes in the same vertical
line of the rail web.
— Welds on the flange, particularly across
the flange or along its edge.
— Cutting holes in the rail with a torch.
— Cutting notches anywhere on the rails.
5. A fire involving the vehicle.
6. A collision involving the vehicle.
7. The use of equipm ent for which the
frame has not been designed or rein
forced.
1-7. Straighten and reinforce the frame as
described later in this section. See
“ S traightening Fram es” and “ R ein
forcem ents.”

DIAGNOSIS OF THE FRAME (CONT.)
POSSIBLE CAUSE
CORRECTION
Buckle
1. The use of equipm ent such as snow
plows for which the frame was not de
signed.
2. A collision involving the vehicle.
3. A fire involving the vehicle.

MINIMIZING FRAME SERVICE
CHECKING FRAME ALIGNMENT
G e n e ra lly , fra m e s e rv ic e can be m in im iz e d or
eliminated by m inimizing the concentration of stress in
small areas of the frame.
1. Vehicles should be used only for those purposes for
which they were designed.
• They should not be overloaded.
• They should be loaded evenly; localized loads
should be avoided.
• Do not operate the vehicle on extremely rough
terrain.
• Take into account the forces that will be placed
on a frame from the operation of equipment such
as snow plows when picking a frame for a new
vehicle or reinforcing a frame.
2. Follow recommended practices when repairing a frame
or when mounting a body or equipment on a frame.
• Avoid sudden changes in the section modulus.
• Do not drill holes in the frame rail flanges.
• Space holes in the web section of a rail at least
13 mm (1/2-inch) from one another.
• Use existing holes whenever possible.
• Do not cut holes with a torch.
• Do not overheat the frame rails.
• Avoid welding on the flanges.
• Do not allow four or more holes to exist on the
same vertical line of the web.
• Holes made in a reinforcement should be placed
a distance of at least two times the material
thickness from the edge of the reinforcement.
The main parts of a fram e are the side rails and
c ro s s m e m b e rs . T he ra ils c a rry th e load and th e
crossmembers stabilize the rails.
Types of fram e m isalignm ent can be divided into five
groups. The five groups are sag, buckle, diam ond,
sidesways, and twist. For a brief definition of these terms,
refer to “ Description” at the beginning of this section.
A misaligned frame rail may have moved forward from,
up or down from, or to the side of where it should be.
These possibilities must be checked.
The easiest way to check fram e alignm ent is with gages
made for this purpose. Detailed instructions are normally
supplied with gages at the tim e of purchase. Therefore,
instructions for gage use are not given in this manual.
It is p ossible to ch eck c e rta in p o rtio n s of fram e
alignm ent w ithout the proper gages. The procedure is
described later in this section.
W hether alignm ent is checked with or w ithout gages,
the vehicle must be parked on a level section of floor.
Certain conditions call for prelim inary checks before
actually checking the frame. Suspension or axle problems
may make it appear that the vehicle frame is out of
a lig n m e n t. If an a xle has s h ifte d , “ D ia m o n d ” or
“ Sidesway” may appear to exist when, in fact, they do
not. A weak spring may make the vehicle appear to have
a twisted frame.
A visual inspection of the top and bottom flanges of
each rail may reveal the specific area where sag or buckle
exists. In the case of sag, wrinkles may appear on the top
FRAME AND BUMPERS 2A-5
of the upper flange; such w rinkles are definite evidence of
sag. W rinkles on the bottom of the lower flange are
definite evidence of buckle.
DETERMINING THE FRAME CENTERLINE (Figure 1)
1. Move the vehicle to a level, well-lighted section of the
floor.
2. Make a diagram of the frame on the floor beneath the
vehicle as follows:
a. Using a plumb bob, transfer points 1, 2, 11, 12
from the inside of the web to the floor. Mark the
points (figure 1).
b. Using a plumb bob, transfer the remaining points
from the outside of the web to the floor. Mark the
points. Be sure to use points from the same
place on both the right and left frame rail.
3. Move the vehicle away from the points on the floor.
4. Measure the distance between points 1 and 2. This
distance should be 704.85 mm (27.75-inch) for the
standard front axle, and 847.25 mm (33.75-inch) if
equipped with a 5000# I-Beam Front Axle.
5. Measure the distance between points 11 and 12. This
distance should be 847.25 mm (33.75-inch). If both the
measurements in steps 4 and 5 were correct, continue
the procedure. If the measurements are not correct,
refer to “ Horizontal Check” step 2, and mark the
centerline through the intersection of two sets of
diagonals that have equal measurements.
6. Make a mark on the floor exactly halfway between
points 1 and 2. Make a similar mark between points 11
and 12.
7. Use a chalk line to mark a line through the points. This
is the centerline of the frame.
HORIZONTAL CHECK
1. Measure the distance between the frame rails, and the
centerline at points 3-10. Each pair of corresponding
points should be an equal distance from the centerline
within 3 mm (Vs-inch). Example: Points 3 and 4 should
measure equally from the centerline as should points 5
and 6, 7 and 8, and points 9 and 10.
2. Measure diagonally from point 1 to point 6, and from
point 2 to point 5. Mark the floor where the diagonals
pass the centerline. The diagonals should measure the
same distance within 5 mm (3/ie-inch), and should
cross at the ce n te rlin e . If the fram e is w ithin
specifications, the frame within these points is properly
aligned.
3. Repeat step 2 on other pairs of diagonals until the
entire frame has been checked. Example: Point 3 to
point 10 and point 4 to point 9 or point 5 to point 12 and
point 6 to point 11, etc.
4. Refer to “ Straightening Frames” to repair any damage
that is found.
STRAIGHTENING FRAMES
Frame straightening can be complicated and usually
requires special equipment. It should be attempted by
competent personnel only.
A com plete analysis of the condition of the fram e
should be made before any steps are taken to straighten
it. Analyzing the cause of failure will help determine the
c o rre ct sequence of steps in the repair. (R efer to
Figure 2—Types of Frame Cracks
“ Possible C auses” under “ Diagnosis” and “ M inim izing
Frame S e rvice ” p reviously o utline d in th is section.)
Corrective procedures should be set up to reverse the
flow of the dam aging forces. In many instances, to reverse
the flow of forces, pressure must be applied from different
directions at the same time.
Careful use of controlled heat is important. Too much or
too little heat, or the im proper application of heat, is a
m ajor source of trouble. Frame heating should be done
with a large sized tip (multi-hole heating tip) and a neutral
flame should be used (oxygen adjust opened just enough
to remove the feathers or stringers from the blue center at
tip of torch). Heat the area that will be stretched as frame
is straightened. Heat the area AFTER SU FFIC IEN T
PRESSURE HAS BEEN EXERTED to cause a slight
checking, or silvery cracks, to appear on the surface of
the metal. Gradually increase the pressure while heating.
Do not heat beyond 606°C (1200°F). A red glow indicates
that the material is overheated. Overheating will cause
distortion and stretching, as well as a change in the
characteristics of the metal.
REPAIRING CRACKS
Two common types of cracks are shown in figure 2. The
straight crack will norm ally start from the edge of a flange.
It will go across the flange and through the web section of
a rail. Finally, it will continue through the other flange.
This type of crack may result from high concentrations of
stress in small areas of the frame, excessive bending
moment, and torsional loading. (Refer to “ M inim izing
Frame Service,” previously outlined in this section).
2A-6 FRAME AND BUMPERS
Sunburst crack(s) will radiate out from a hole in the web
section of a rail or crossmember. They are caused by high
lo a d s b e in g a p p lie d a t a m o u n tin g b ra c k e t o r
crossmember which is not securely or properly attached
to the rail.
If cracks occur to both the rail and reinforcement at a
particular area of the frame, they must be repaired
separately. The flanges must react independently to
prevent localized stress concentration. Use a copper
spacer between the flanges of cracked base rail flanges
and reinforcement flanges.
Crossmember mounting flange cracks may be repaired
in the same m anner as side rail cracks. However, weld
bead should be built up to provide a good smooth radius.
If a crossm em ber is greatly damaged replace it.
It may be necessary to align the frame and level the
rails before repairing the frame.
1. Remove any equipment that will interfere with access
to the crack.
2. Locate the extreme end of the crack and drill a 6 mm
(0.25-inch) hole.
3. “ V” grind the entire length of the crack from the
starting point to the 6 mm (0.25-inch) hole at the
extreme end.
4. Open up the bottom of the crack 2 mm (V-ie-inch) to
allow good penetration of the weld. (A hack-saw blade
may be used for this).
5. Weld with proper electrode and proper welding
techniques. Refer to “ Welding” outlined later in this
section for tips on welding.
6. Grind the weld smooth on both the inside and the
outside of the rail or crossmember. Be extremely
careful to eliminate weld build-up or notches on the
edge of the flange.
WELDING
Improper welding techniques are the cause of many
weld and/or frame failures. The following information
points out potential areas of difficulty and provides some
general guidelines for successful frame welding.
Most weld failures occur at the end of the weld in areas
of the frame that are under high stress. By elim inating the
ends of a weld, failures can be reduced; this can be done
by making a hole or slot in the part to be attached and
then using a fillet weld around a slot or plug weld. Do not
leave a notch at the end of a weld.
Over-welding can be harmful, especially if it is in an
area of the frame that receives high concentrations of
stress.
Small cracks in a crossm em ber may be welded. (Refer
to “ Repairing Cracks” previously outlined in this section).
When welding:
1. Do not use oxyacetylene welding equipment.
2. Whenever possible, use smaller diameter electrodes
and make several passes; this is preferred to using a
large diameter electrode and making fewer passes.
3. Do not use more heat than is necessary to give good
penetration.
4. Do not run more passes than necessary.
5. Make sure the weld is free from craters and undercuts.
6. Make sure scale is removed from each successive
pass.
7. If repairing a crack, grind the surface of the weld flush
with the parent material.
8. When mounting accessories, do not weld across the
flanges.
9. When mounting accessories, do not weld within 19 mm
(3/4-inch) of a flange.
10. Do not weld up to the edge of a part being welded to a
frame. Leave 6 mm (0.25-inch) between the end of the
weld and the edge of the part.
11. Do not weld cast brackets to the frame.
12. Do not weld the flanges of cracked reinforcements and
base rails together.
13. Connect the welding machine ground cables as close
to the working area as possible.
14. Avoid direct contact between the welding cables and
any part of the vehicle.
15. Do not get the welding cables near the vehicle wiring.
G MODEL UNDERBODY
DESCRIPTION
The G Model incorporates a unitized body design
comprised of side rails, cross sills, and outriggers which
are all part of the welded underbody.
A misaligned underbody can affect the operation of
many vehicle components. It is essential that underbody
alignm ent be exact to within 1.6 mm (1/ie-inch).
UNDERBODY ALIGNMENT
To determine the alignm ent of the underbody it is
necessary to use a good quality tram ing gage. This gage
must be capable of m easuring all points of the underbody
up to three quarters of the body length.
Following the instructions given by the m anufacturer of
your gage, measure the horizontal and vertical points as
shown in figure 3. Compare each measurement with the
s p e c ific a tio n s given in the fig u re to d ete rm ine the
damaged areas and the extend of the damage. When
repairing the underbody it will be necessary to return the
underbody to these original specifications within 1.6 mm
(1/ie-inch).
Many different types and brands of unibody repair
equipm ent are available; each system may be slightly
different. A multiple pull system is most desirable in order
to correct the damage in the same direction in which it
was created. When m aking m ultiple pulls use the last in,
first out procedure. This means that you correct the
damage in the reverse sequence by which it was created.
It is also important to correct the damage in the opposite
direction in which the damage was created.

SHEET METAL ADJUSTMENTS
In order to have the proper operation and appearance
of sheet metal components, it is important that certain fits
and gaps between components be maintained. The gaps
given in this procedure are suggested as the best
alignm ent for these components (figure 13).
In aligning sheet metal, it is best to start with the
rearmost component, and work forward.
1. Starting with the fenders, align the rear edge of each
fender to the rocker panel, and the door. The gap
between these components should be 5 mm ± 2.3 mm
(0.19-inch ± 0.09-inch). This adjustment should be
accom plished by m oving the fender forward or
rearward. The surface of the fender should be flush
with the rocker panel and the door. Add or remove
shims to perform this adjustment.
2. Align the fender to the cowl vent grille to obtain a gap
of 4.6 mm ± 1 mm (0.18-inch ± 0.03-inch). The surface
of the cowl vent grille should be flush with the fender
surface.

a gap of 8 mm ± 1 mm (0.31-inch ± 0.03-inch) between
the rear edge of the hood and the front edge of the
cowl vent grille. The hood surface should be flush with
the cowl vent grille surface within + 0.0-1.5 mm (+ 0.00

4. Align the left and right edges of the hood so that a gap
of 4.6 mm ±1 mm (0.18-inch ± 0.03-inch) exists
between the hood and the fenders. The hood surface
should be fiush with the fender surface within +0.0,
-1.5 mm ( + 0.00 -0.06-inch). If this gap is difficult to
obtain, and the hood appears to be cocked in between
the fenders, the radiator support may need to be
shifted. By shifting the radiator support, the entire front
end sheet metal can be aligned as a unit. Loosen the
support to the frame bolts, and shift the radiator
support to obtain the proper gaps. Then, while holding
the support in position, retighten the radiator support to
frame bolts.
5. Align the front face of the hood to obtain a gap of 4.6
mm ±1 mm (0.18-inch + 0.03-inch) between the hood
and the radiator support upper panel. The hood
bumpers on the top of the radiator support should be
adjusted to give the proper support to hood gap. The
surface of the hood should be flush with the radiator
support upper panel (not the grille molding).

Figure 1—Caster-Camber-Toe-ln
“ Front End Alignm ent” refers to the angular relation
ship between the front wheels, the front suspension atta
ching parts and the ground.
Proper front end alignm ent must be maintained in order
to insure efficient steering, good directional stability and
to prevent abnormal tire wear.
The most important factors of front end alignment are
wheel toe-in, wheel camber, and axle caster (Figure 1).
DEFINITION OF TERMS
CAMBER
Camber is the inward or outward tilting of the front
wheels from the vertical. When the wheels tilt outward at
the top, the camber is positive ( + ). When the wheels tilt
inward at the top, the camber is negative (—). The amount
of tilt measured in degrees from the vertical is called the
camber angle. Camber is designed into the front axle
a ss e m b ly of all fo u r-w h e e l d rive v e h ic le s and is
non-adjustable.
If camber is extreme or unequal between the wheels,
improper steering and excessive tire wear will result.
Negative camber causes wear on the inside tire, while
positive camber causes wear to the outside.
CASTER (Figure 1)
Caster is the tilting of the wheel axis either forward or
backward from the vertical (when viewed from the side of
the vehicle). A backward tilt is positive ( + ) and a forward
tilt is negative (—).
On the short and long arm type suspension you cannot
see a caster angle without a special instrument, but if you
look straight down from the top of the upper control arm to
the ground, the ball joints do not line up (fore and aft)
when a caster angle other than 0 degree is present. With
a positive angle, the lower ball joint would be slightly
ahead (toward the front of the vehicle) of the upper ball
joint center line. Caster is designed into the front axle
a ssem bly on all fo u r-w h e e l d rive ve h icle s, and is
non-adjustable.
TOE-IN
Toe-in is the turning of the front wheels. The actual
amount of toe-in is normally a fraction of a degree. Toe-in
is measured from the center of the tire treads or from the
inside of the tires. The purpose of toe-in is to insure
parallel rolling of the front wheels and to offset any small
deflections of the wheel support system which occurs
when the vehicle is rolling forward. Incorrect toe-in results
in excessive toe-in and unstable steering. Toe-in is the last
alignment to be set in the front end alignm ent procedure.

instructions.
B efore m aking any a d ju stm e n ts a ffe ctin g caster,
cam ber or toe-in, the following front end inspection should
be made:
10. Level of the vehicle. The vehicle must be on a level
surface fore and aft and transversely.
Inspect (Figure 2)
1. Tires for proper inflation pressure. Refer to WHEELS
AND TIRES (SEC. 3E).
2. Front wheel bearing for proper adjustment. Refer to
FRONT SUSPENSION (SEC. 3C.).
3. Ball joints, tie rod ends, and relay rods. If excessive
looseness is noted, correct before adjusting. Refer to
STEERING LINKAGE (SEC. 3B1).
4. Wheels and tires for run-out. Refer to WHEELS AND
TIRES (SEC. 3E).
5. D im e n sio n “ B C ” in (fig u re 2). If not w ith in
specifications, the correction must be made before
adjusting caster.
6. Steering gear for looseness at the frame.
7. Shock absorbers for leaks or any noticeable noise.
Refer to FRONT SUSPENSION (SEC. 3C).
8. C ontrol arms or s ta b ilize r bar attachm ents for
looseness. Refer to FRONT SUSPENSION (SEC. 3C).
FRONT END ALIGNMENT
REQUIREMENTS
Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide
range of front end alignm ent settings. If the settings vary
beyond certain tolerances, adjustm ents are advisable.
The “ Specifications” at the back of this section is a
guideline for vehicle diagnosis or for repairs.
Set the front end alignm ent to specifications w hile the
vehicle is in its normally loaded condition. Vehicles
w hich are consistently operated with heavy loads
should have toe-in adjusted with the vehicle under
heavy load. This procedure should result in longer tire
life.

CASTER
All caster specifications are given with a frame angle of
zero. Therefore, it will be necessary to know the angle of
the frame (whether “ up” in rear or “ down” in rear) before
a corrected caster reading can be determined. Camber
and toe-in can be read “ as is” from the alignm ent
equipment.
How To Determine Caster (Figure 2 and 3)
All caster specifications are given with vehicle frame
angle of zero.
1. Position the vehicle on a smooth level surface.
2. Use a bubble protractor or inclinometer to measure the
frame angle. Frame angle is the degree of tilt in the
frame from the level position.
3. Determine whether the frame angle is “ up in rear” or
“ down in rear.”
4. Determine the caster angle reading from the alignment
equipment.
5. Refer to figure 3. To determine an “ actual (corrected)
caster reading” with various frame angles and caster
readings, one of the following rules apply:

Figure 3—Caster-Camber Adjustment
a. A “ DOWN IN REAR” frame angle must be
SUBTRACTED from a POSITIVE caster reading.
b. An “ UP IN REAR” frame angle must be
ADDED to a POSITIVE caster reading.
c. A “ DOWN IN REAR” frame angle must be
ADDED to a NEGATIVE caster reading.
d. An “ UP IN REAR” fram e angle m ust be
SUBTRACTED from a NEGATIVE c a s te r
reading.
6. Dimension “ BC” measured 90 degrees from the lower
surface of the crossmember (C) and to the inboard rear
corner of the jounce bumper bracket (B).
7. Using dimension “ BC” and the caster, camber, wheel
toe-in chart sheet, find the recommended caster angle.
8. If the actual (corrected) caster cycle (Step 5) is not
within the recommended caster angle (Step 7) make
the necessary shim changes.
CAMBER
1. Determine the camber angle from the alignm ent
equipment.
2. Add or subtract shims from both the front and rear
bolts to affect a change.
TOE-IN
1. Determine the toe-in from the alignment equipment.
2. Change the length of both tie rod sleeves to affect a toe
change. Toe-in can be increased or decreased by
changing the length of the tie rod ends. A threaded
sleeve is provided for this purpose. When the tie rod
ends are mounted ahead of the steering knuckle they
must be decreased in length in order to increase
toe-in. When the tie rod ends are mounted behind the
steering kunckle they must be lenghtened in order to
increase toe-in. Refer to STEERING LINKAGE (SEC.
3B1) for clamping instructions.

DESCRIPTION
The steering linkage for the R, G, and P20 + 30(42)
model is composed of a pitman arm, idler arm, relay rod,
two adjustable tie rods and a steering shock absorber (Gmodel). When the steering wheel is turned, the gear ro
tates the pitman arm which forces the relay rod to one
side. The tie rods, which are connected to the relay rod by
ball studs, transfers the steering force to the wheels. The
tie rods are adjustable and are used for toe-in adjust
ments. The relay rod is supported by the pitman arm and
idler arm. The idler arm pivots on a support attached to
the frame rail. On the G-model the steering shock absor
ber is attached to a relay rod and a mounting bracket to
steering gear.
The P30(32) Motorhome model steering linkage has a
sim ilar adjustable tie rod assembly as described above.
When the steering wheel is turned, the gear rotates the
pitman arm which forces the nonadjustable connecting
rod and relay arm to move the relay rod to one side. The
relay arm and idler arm are attached to the frame by sup
port assemblies. The support assemblies are adjustable
for shaft end play. The steering shock absorber is at
tached to the fram e and relay arm (figures 1 through 3).
The V model has a front driving axle assem bly and the
P30(00) with RPO-FS3 has an I-Beam axle assembly. The
steering linkage consists of an adjustable connecting rod,
steering shock absorber, pitman arm and a tie rod which
connects the two steering knuckles together (figures 7
and 8).
The overall condition of the steering linkage affects
steering performance. If parts are bent, damaged, worn or
poorly lubricated, im proper and possibly dangerous
steering action will result.
Whenever any steering linkage components are re
paired or replaced, check the steering geometry and front
end alignment. Refer to FRONT END ALIGNM ENT (SEC.
3A).

IDLER ARM INSPECTION
In s p e c t (F ig u re s 4 a n d 5)
Raise the vehicle. Allow the front wheels to rotate
freely and the steering mechanism freedom to turn.
Position the wheels in a straight ahead position.
Place a spring scale near the relay rod end of the idler
arm. Exert a 110 N (25 lb.) force upward and then
downward (G model the force is forward and rearward)
while measuring the total distance the arm moves. The
allowable deflection is ± 3.18mm (1/s inch) for a total of
6.35mm (1/4 inch) (figures 4 and 5). Replace the idler
arm if it fails this test with the exception of the P model
motorhome. Refer to “ Idler Arm Adjustment (P30(32)
Motorhome),” in this section.
Im p o rta n t
Jerking the right wheel and tire assembly back and
forth, causing an up and down movement of the idler
arm, is NOT an acceptable testing procedure. There is
no control on the amount of force being applied to the
idler arm.
• Care should be used whenever shimmy complaints are
suspected of being caused by loose idler arms. Before
suspecting suspension or steering components,
technicians should consider areas such as dynamic
imbalance, runout or force variation of wheel and tire
assemblies and road surface irregularities. Refer to
WHEELS AND TIRES (SEC. 3E).
IDLER ARM ADJUSTMENT
(P30(32) MOTORHOME)
The fram e
adjustable for
movement as
idler arm fails
mounted idler support assem bly (10) is
support shaft end play. Check for idler arm
described in “ Idler Arm Inspection.” If the
this test, adjust the support shaft end-play.
A d ju s t (F ig u re 3)
1. Loosen the support assembly jam nut.
2. Tighten the adjuster plug to metal-to-metal contact.
3. Back off the adjuster plug 1/s of a turn (V2 of a flat on
the square nut).

DESCRIPTION
The steering gear is the recirculating ball nut and worm
type. The worm is located on the lower end of the steering
shaft. The ball nut is mounted on the worm and the steel
balls act as a rolling thread between the worm and nut to
provide a low friction drive between them.
Teeth on the ball nut engage teeth on the pitman shaft
sector. The teeth on the ball nut are made so that a tighter
fit exists between the ball nut and pitman shaft sector
teeth when the front wheels are in the straight ahead posi
tion. The sector teeth are slightly tapered so that a proper
preload may be obtained by moving the pitman shaft end
ways by means of a preload adjuster screw which extends
through the gear housing side cover. The head of the pre
load adjuster and a selectively fitted shim fit snugly into a
T-slot in the end of the pitman shaft, so that the screw also
controls the end play of the shaft (figure 1).

2. Pitman arm loose on the shaft or the
steering gear m ounting bolts loose.
3. Loose or worn steering shaft bearing.
4. E xcessive o ver-ce nter lash or worm
thrust bearings adjusted too loose. On
turns a slight rattle may occur, due to the
increased lash between ball nut and pit
man shaft as gear moves off the center
of “ high point” position. This is normal
and lash must not be reduced to elim i
nate this slight rattle.

ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
MAINTENANCE
The steering gear is factory-filled with steering gear
lubricant. Seasonal change of the lubricant should not be
performed and the housing should not be drained. No
additional lubrication is required for the life of the steering
gear.
A t in te r v a ls s p e c ifie d in M A IN T E N A N C E A N D
LUBRICATION (SEC. OB) of this manual, the gear should
be inspected for seal leakage (actual solid grease — not
ju s t oily film ). If a seal is replaced or the gear is
overhauled, the gear housing should be refilled with
S tee rin g G ear L u b rica n t m eeting GM sp e c ific a tio n
1051052 (or equivalent).
NOTICE: DO NOT USE EP Chassis Lube to
lubricate the gear. DO NOT OVER-FILL the gear
housing, or damage may occur.
2. Lower universal joint pinch bolt (6) (G-Models). Mark
the relationship of the clamp (20) to the worm shaft

DESCRIPTION
The hydraulic power steering system consists of a
pump, an oil reservoir, a steering gear, a pressure hose,
and a return hose (figure 1).
INTEGRAL POWER
STEERING GEAR
The control valve in the steering gear directs the power
steering fluid to either side of the rack piston. The rack
piston converts the hydraulic pressure into a m echanical
force. If the steering system becomes damaged and loses
h y d ra u lic p re ssure, the v e h ic le can be c o n tro lle d
manua"*
HYDRAULIC PUMPS
The power steering gear (figure 2) has a recirculating
ball system which acts as a rolling thread between the
worm shaft and the rack piston. The worm shaft is
supported by a thrust bearing preload and two conical
thrust races at the lower end, and a bearing assembly in
the adjuster plug at the upper end. When the worm shaft
is turned right, the rack piston moves up in gear. Turning
the worm shaft left moves the rack piston down in gear.
The rack piston teeth mesh with the sector, which is part
The hydraulic pump is a vane-type design. There are
two types, submerged and nonsubmerged. Submerged
pump (P models) have a housing and internal parts that
are inside the reservoir and operate submerged in oil: The
n o n s u b m e rg e d p u m p (TC m o d e ls w ith or w ith o u t
reservoir) function the same as the submerged pump
except that the reservoir is separate from the housing and
internal parts (figure 3).
of the pitman shaft. Turning the worm shaft turns the
pitman shaft, which turns the wheels through the steering
linkage.
There are two bore openings at the rear of the pump
housing. The larger opening contains the cam ring,
pressure plate, thrust plate, rotor and vane assembly, and

POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. T here
is som e noise in all p ow er
steering systems. One of the most com
mon is a hissing sound most evident at
standstill parking. Hiss is a high fre
quency noise. The noise is present in
every valve and results from high veloc
ity fluid passing valve orifice edges.
There is no relationship between this
noise and performance of the steering.
“ Hiss” may be expected when steering
wheel is at end of travel or when slowly
turning at standstill.
Do not replace valve unless “ hiss” is
extrem ely objectionable. A rep la ce
ment valve will also exhibit slight noise
and is not always a cure for the objec
tion.

POWER STEERING
SYSTEM TEST
The power steering system may be tested using either
J-5176-D, Power Steering Gage, or with J-25323, Power
Steering Analyzer. J-25323 will measure the flow rate in
addition to the pressure (figure 6).
The power steering system test is a method used to
identify and isolate hydraulic circuit difficulties. Prior to
p e rfo rm in g th is te s t th e fo llo w in g in s p e c tio n , and
corrections if necessary, must be made.

• All tests are made with the engine idling at normal
operating temperature. Check the idle adjustment
and if necessary adjust the engine idle speed to the
correct specification. Refer to FUEL SYSTEMS
(SEC. 6C).
Test W ith J-5176-D
1. Place a container under the steering gear or pump
to catch the fluid when disconnecting or connecting
the hoses.
2. W ith the engine NOT running, disconnect the
pressure hose at the steering gear or power steering
pump and install J-5176-D to both hoses using
adapter fitting J-5176-20. The gage must be between
the shut-off valve and pump. Open the shut-off
valve.
3. Remove the fi'ler cap from the pump reservoir and
check the fluid level. Fill the pump reservoir, with
power steering fluid, to the full mark on the dipstick.
Start the engine and, m omentarily holding steering
w heel a gainst stop, ch eck the co nn e ctio n s at
J-5176-D for leakage.
4. Bleed the system. Refer to “ Bleeding the Power
Steering System.”
5. Insert therm om eter J-5421-02 in the reservoir filler
opening. Move the steering wheel from stop to stop
several times until the thermometer indicates that
the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir has reached a
temperature of 65° to 77°C (150° to 170°F).
Im portant
• To prevent scrubbing flat spots on the tires, do
not turn the steering wheel more than five
tim es without rolling the vehicle to change the
tire-to-floor contact area.
6. Start the engine and check the pumps fluid level.
Add power steering fluid if required. When the
engine is at normal operating temperature, the initial
pressure read on the gage (valve open) should be in
the 550-860 kPa (80-125 psi) range. Should this
pressure be in excess of 1380 kPa (200 psi) —
check the hoses for restrictions and the poppet
valve for proper assembly.
NOTICE: Do not leave valve fully closed for
more than 5 seconds as the pum p could be
damaged internally.
7. Close the gate valve fully 3 times. Record the
highest pressures attained each time.
• If the pressures recorded are w ithin the
specifications at the end of this section, and
the range of readings is within 345 kPa (50
p si), th e pum p is fu n c tio n in g w ith in its
specifications.
• If the pressures recorded are high, but do not
repeat w ithin 345 kPa (50 psi), the flow
controlling valve is sticking. Remove the valve,
clean it and remove any burrs using crocus
cloth or fine hone. If the system contains some
dirt, flush it. If it is exceptionally dirty, both the
p u m p and g e a r m u s t be c o m p le te ly
d is a s s e m b le d , c le a n e d , flu s h e d and
reassembled before further usage.
• If the pressures recorded are constant but
m ore than 690 kPa (100 psi), below the
minimum listed specification, replace the flow
control valve and recheck. If the pressures are
still low, replace the rotating group in the
pump.
8. If the pump checks within specifications, leave the
valve open and turn (or have turned) the steering
w heel into both co rn e rs . R ecord th e h ig h e s t
pressures and compare with the maximum pump
pressure recorded. If this pressure cannot be built in
either (or one) side of the gear, the gear is leaking
internally and must be disassembled and repaired.
9. Shut the engine off, rem ove the testing gage,
reconnect the pressure hose, check the fluid level
and/or make the needed repairs.
10. If the problem still exists, the steering and front
suspension must be thoroughly examined. Refer to
“ Diagnosis of Power Steering System .”
POWER STEERING 3B3-11
Test With J-25323
1. Place a container under the steering gear or pump
to catch the fluid when disconnecting or connecting
the hoses.
2. W ith the engine NOT running, d isco nn ect the
pressure hose at the steering gear or power steering
pump. Thread J-29525 fem ale adapter into the
pressure hose and the male adapter into the gear or
pum p. C onnect J-25323 a nalyzer hoses to the
adapters.
3. If the analyzer has never been used, it will be
necessary to bleed the power steering system to
remove all the air. Refer to “ Bleeding the Power
Steering System” in this section. The analyzer gate
must be open during this procedure.
4. Add power steering fluid to the pump if required.
5. Run the engine at idle speed with the gate valve
open and record flow (A) and pressure (B).
• If the flow is below 7.4 L/min. (2 gpm), the
pump appears to be in need of repair, but
continue the test.
• If the pressure is above 1035 kPa (150 psi),
check the hoses for restriction and check the
steering gear.
6. Partially close the gate valve to build 4278 kPa (620
psi). Record the flow (C).
• If the flow (C) drops more than 3.7 L/min. (1
gpm) under flow (A), disassem ble the pump
and replace the ring, rotor, and vanes. If the
pressure plates are worn or cracked, replace
th e m . R e p la c e a ll O -rin g s e a ls w h e n

7. Com pletely close and partially open the gate valve
three tim es (do not allow the valve to remain
closed for more than 5 seconds). Record the
“ gate closed” pressure (D).
8. Check the pressure specifications, at the end of this
section for the correct pump model, and if the pump
pressure recorded is 690 kPa (100 psi) lower than
the minimum specification listed, replace the flow

(A), then the flow control valve should be
removed and cleaned or replaced, the same
as in step 8.
Have the steering wheel turned into the left and then
right corner lightly against the wheel stops. Record
the pressure and flow (F).
• Pressures developed in both corners should
be nearly the same as the maximum pump
output (D). At the same tim e the flow should
drop below 1.85 L/min. (0.5 gpm).
• If the pressure does not reach m axim um

steering gear and remove the control valve.
Repair the steering gear as outlined in the
Unit Repair Manual.
Have the steering wheel turned slightly in both
directions and release quickly while watching the
pressure gage. The needle should move from the
normal back pressure reading and snap back as the
wheel is released. If it comes back slowly, or sticks,
the rotary valve in the steering gear is sticking.
Remove, disassem ble and clean the rotary valve. If
the system contains a lot of dirt and foreign material,
d is a s s e m b le th e p u m p th e gear, c le a n and
reassemble.
If the problem still exists, the steering and front
suspension must be thoroughly examined. Refer to
“ D iagnosis of Power Steering System ” in this
section.
POWER STEERING SYSTEM ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
MAINTENANCE
The hydraulic system should be kept clean and at
regular intervals the pump steering fluid level in the
reservoir should be checked and flu id added when
required. Refer to MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
(SEC. 0B) of this manual for type of fluid to be used and
intervals for filling.
If the system contains some dirt, flush it as detailed
later in this section. If it is exceptionally dirty, both the
pump and the gear must be completely disassembled
before further usage.
All tubes, hoses, and fittings should be inspected for
leakage at regular intervals. Fittings must be tight. Make
sure the clips, clamps and supporting tubes and hoses
are in place and properly secured.
Inspect the hoses with the wheels in the straight-ahead
position, then turn the wheels fully to the left and right,
while observing the movement of the hoses. Correct any
hose contact with other parts of the vehicle that could
cause chafing or wear.
Power steering hoses and lines must not be twisted,
kinked or tightly bent. The hoses should have sufficient
natural curvature in the routing to absorb movement and
hose shortening during vehicle operation.
A ir in the system will cause spongy action and noisy
operation. When a hose is disconnected or when fluid is
lost, for any reason, the system must be bled after
refilling. Refer to “ Bleeding the Power Steering System”
in this section.
PUMP BELT TENSION
ADJUSTMENT
When adjusting a power steering pump belt, never pry
against the pum p reservoir or pull against the filler neck.
Two systems are used for belt adjustment. On some
models, the pump is loosened from the bracket and
3B3-12 POWER STEERING
moved outward to lncrea se the tension. On other models,
a half-inch square drive hole is located in the bracket, and
this hole is used to rotate the pump-and-bracket assembly
outward to increase belt tension.
ft
Adjust
Tool Required:
J-23600-B Belt Tension Gage.
1. Place belt tension gage, J-23600-B or equivalent,
midway between the pulleys on drive belts being
checked.
• Power steering pump driven by a single belt.
• Loosen the pump attaching bolts and adjust
the belt to correct tension by moving the pump
outward, away from the engine.
• Tighten finger tight all pump mounting bolts
and remove the pry bar.
• Tighten all pum p mounting bolts. Refer to
“ Power Steering Pump Replacement” in this
section.
• Inspect belt tension and remove the belt
tension gage.
2. Loosen the pivot bolt and pump brace adjusting
nuts.
NOTICE: Do not move the pum p by prying
against the reservoir or by pulling on the filler
neck, or damage may occur.
3. Move the pump, with the belt in place until the belt
is tensioned to specifications. Refer to ENGINE
COOLING (SEC. 6B1).
4. Tighten the pump bracket adjusting nut and the
pivot bolt nut. Refer to “ Power Steering Pump
Replacem ent” in this section.
5. Inspect the belt tension and remove the belt tension
gage.
FLUID LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
1. Run the engine until the power steering fluid
reaches normal operating temperature, about 80°C
(170°F), then shut the engine off.
2. Remove the reservoir cap and check the fluid level
on the dipstick. On models equipped with a remote
reservoir, the fluid level should be about 12.7 to 25.4
mm ( 1/2 to 1-inch) from the top when the wheels are
in full left turn position.
3. If the fluid level is low, add power steering fluid (GM
#1050017 or equivalent) to the proper level and
install the reservoir cap.
4. When checking the fluid level after the steering
system has been serviced, air must be bled from the
system. Refer to “ Bleeding the Power Steering
System” in this section.
BLEEDING THE POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
W hen a pow er ste e rin g pum p or gear has been
installed, or an oil line has been disconnected, the air that
has entered the system must be bled out before the
vehicle is operated. If air is allowed to remain in the power
steering fluid system, noisy and unsatisfactory operation
of the system may result. Bleed air from the hydraulic
system as follows:
• When bleeding the system, and any tim e fluid is
added to the power steering system, be sure to use
o n ly p o w e r s te e rin g flu id as s p e c ifie d in
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION (SEC. OB).
1. Fill the pump fluid reservoir to the proper level and
let the fluid settle for at least two minutes.
2. Start the engine and let it run for a few seconds.
Then turn the engine off.
3. Add fluid if necessary.
4. Repeat the above procedure until the fluid level
remains constant after running the engine.
5. Raise the front end of the vehicle so that the wheels
are off the ground.
6. Start the engine. Slowly turn the steering wheel
right and left, lightly contacting the wheel stops.
7. Add power steering fluid if necessary.
8. Lower the vehicle and turn the steering wheel slowly
from lock to lock.
9. Stop the engine. Check the fluid level and refill as
required.
10. If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the vehicle to
s ta n d a few m in u te s a nd re p e a t th e a bo ve
procedure.
Inspect
• Belt for tightness.
• Pulley for looseness or damage. The pulley should
not wobble with the engine running.
• Hoses so they are not touching any other parts of
the vehicle.
• Fluid level and fill to the proper level.
• Fluid for air and if present attempt to bleed the
system.
FLUSHING THE POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
1. Raise the front end of the vehicle off the ground
until the wheels are free to turn.
2. Remove the fluid return line at the pum p inlet
connector and plug the connector port on the pump.
Position the line towards a large container to catch
the draining fluid.
3. W hile an assistant is filling the reservoir with new
power steering fluid, run the engine at idle. Turn the
steering wheel from stop to stop. DO NOT contact
wheel stops or hold the wheel in a corner or fluid will
stop and the pump will be in pressure relief mode. A
sudden overflow from the reservoir may develop if
the wheel is held at a stop.
4. Install all the lines, hoses and com ponents (if
removed) on the vehicle. Fill the system with new
power steering flu id and bleed the system as
d e s c rib e d in “ B le e d in g T he P ow er S te e rin g
System.” Operate the engine for about 15 minutes.
Remove the pump return line at the pump inlet and
plug the connection on the pump. W hile refilling the
reservoir, check the draining fluid for contamination.
If foreign material is still evident, replace all lines,

STEERING GEAR HIGH
POINT CENTERING
1. Set the front wheels in the straight ahead position.
This can be checked by driving the vehicle a short
distance on a flat surface.
2. With the front wheels set straight ahead, check the
position of the mark on the worm shaft designating
steering gear high point. This mark should be at the
top side of the shaft at the 12 o’clock position and
lined up with the mark in the coupling lower clamp.
3. On R, G and P models except P30(00)FS3, if the
steering gear has been moved off high point when
setting the wheel in the straight ahead position,
loosen the adjuster tube clam ps on both the left and
right hand tie rods. Then turn both adjuster tubes an
equal number of turns in the same direction to bring
the gear back on high point.
• Turning the adjuster tubes an unequal number
of turns or in different directions will disturb
the toe-in setting of the wheels.
4. On V and P30(00)FS3 models, if the gear has been
moved off high point when setting the wheels in the
straight ahead position, loosen the adjuster tube
clam ps on the co n n e ctin g rod. Then tu rn the
adjuster tube to bring the gear back on high point.

STEERING GEAR
ADJUSTMENTS
• Before any adjustments are made to the steering
gear, refer to “ Diagnosis of Power Steering System”
for reviewing the possible steering system problems.
The steering gear adjustm e nt is made only as a
correction and not as a periodic adjustment. Adjusting the
steering gear in the vehicle is NOT recommended for two
reasons:
1. The com plexity involved in adjusting the worm
thrust bearing preload.
2. The friction effect provided by the hydraulic fluid in
the steering gear.
For proper adjustment, remove the steering gear from
the vehicle. Drain the power steering fluid from the gear.
M ount the gear in a vise and make the fo llo w in g
adjustments.
The steering gear requires two adjustments which are:
the worm thrust bearing preload and the pitman shaft
over-center preload adjustment.
The worm thrust bearing preload is controlled by the
am ount of compression force exerted on the conical worm
bearing thrust races by the adjuster plug.
The pitman shaft over-center preload is controlled by
the pitman shaft adjuster screw which determines the
clearance between the rack piston and the pitman shaft
sector teeth.
• Adjust the worm thrust bearing preload first,
then a djust the pitm an sh aft over-center
preload.
Worm Bearing Preload

A djust (Figures 1, 2, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17)
Tool Required:
J-7624 Adjustable Spanner Wrench.
Loosen and remove the adjuster plug nut (6) (figure
13).
2 . Turn the adjuster plug (3) in (clockwise), using
J-7624, until the plug and thrust bearing are firm ly
bottomed in the housing.
Tighten
• Adjuster plug to 27 N m (20 ft. lbs.).
Place an index mark on the housing even with one
of the holes in the adjust plug (figure 14).
4. Measure back (counterclockw ise) 4.7-6.3 mm
(3/ie-1/4-inch) from the index mark and mark the
housing (figure 15).
5. Rotate the adjuster plug back (counterclockwise)
until the hole in the plug is aligned with the second
mark on the housing (figure 16).
6. Install the adjuster plug nut (6).

Tighten
• Nut to 110 N m (81 ft. lbs.). Be sure the
adjuster plug does not turn when tightening
the nut.
7. Use a inch-pound torque wrench and a 12-point
deep socket to measure the required torque to turn
the stub shaft (4). Take the reading with the handle
of the torque wrench near the vertical position. Turn
the stub shaft to the right stop and then back
(counterclockwise) 1/4 turn at an even rate (figure
17). Record the torque reading.
8. The torque required to turn the stub shaft should be
0.45-1.13 N m (4-10 in. lbs.). If the reading is above or
below the specified torque; the adjuster plug may
not be tightened properly or may have turned when
the adjuster plug nut was tightened, or the thrust
bearings and races (22) may be damaged.
Figure 17—Checking Rotational Torque
Adjust (Figures 1, 2, 18, 19,, and 20)
1. Turn th e p itm a n s h a ft a d ju s te r s c re w (73)
counterclockw ise until fu lly extended, then turn
back 1/2 turn clockwise.
2. Rotate the stub shaft (4) from stop to stop and count
the number of turns.
3. Smarting at either stop, turn the stub shaft back 1/2
the total number of turns. This is the “ center” of the
gear.
• When the gear is centered, the flat on the stub
shaft should face upward and be parallel with
the side cover (21) (figure 14) and the master
spline on the pitman shaft should be in line
with the adjuster screw (73) (figure 19).
4. Place the torque wrench, in the vertical position, on
the stub shaft. Rotate the torque wrench 45 degrees
each side of the center and record the highest drag
torque measured on or near center (figure 20).

5. Adjust over-center drag torque by loosening the
adjuster screw jam nut (17) and turning the pitman
shaft adjuster screw (79) clockwise until the correct
drag torque is obtained.
• On new steering gears (under 400 miles), add
0.6-1.2 N m (6-10 in. lbs.) to rq u e to the
previously measured worm bearing preload
torque but do not exceed a total steering gear
preload of 2 N m (18 in. lbs.).
• On used steering gears (400 miles or more)
add 0.5-0.6 N-m (4-5 in. lbs.) torque to the
previously measured worm bearing preload
torque but do not exceed a total steering gear
preload of 1.5 N-m (14 in. lbs.).

3B4-2 STEERING COLUMN
DESCRIPTION
The locking energy absorbing steering column includes
three important features in addition to the steering func
tion:
1. The column is energy absorbing, designed to com
press in a front-end collision to m inimize the possi
bility of injury to the driver of the vehicle.
2. The ignition switch and lock are mounted on the col
umn.
3. With the column mounted lock, the ignition, steering
and gearshifting operation can be locked to inhibit
theft of the vehicle.
The column may be disassem bled and reassembled. To
insure the energy absorbing action, it is important that the
specified screws, bolts and nuts be used only as desig
nated and that they are tightened to the specified torque.
When the column is removed from the vehicle, such
actions as a sharp blow on the end of the steering shaft or
shift lever, leaning on the column assembly, or dropping
of the assembly could shear or loosen the plastic fasten
ers that maintain column rigidity.

SHIFTER SHAFT
Separation of the shifter shaft sections will be internal
and cannot be visually identified. Hold lower end of the
“ shifter shaft” and move the “ shift lever” on the column
through its ranges and up and down. If there is little or no
movement of the “ shifter shaft,” the plastic joints are
sheared.
STEERING SHAFT
If the steering shaft plastic pins have been sheared, the
shaft will rattle when struck lihtly from the side and some
lash may be felt when rotating the steering wheel while
holding the rag joint. If the steering shaft pins are sheared
due to minor collision w ithout serious damage to other
components, the vehicle can be safely steered; however,
steering shaft replacement is recommended.

3C-2 FRONT SUSPENSION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
An independent suspension is standard on the R-G-P
model vehicles. This suspension features unequal length
control arms (the lower control arm is the load carrying
member), coil springs and shock absorbers to reduce vi
bration and shock load, plus a stabilizer bar to control
sway or roll. Air cylinders inside coil springs are available
to minimize “ crash through” on large road bumps. A
special heavy duty front suspension is available on P
model vehicles. This suspension (RPO FS3), centered
around a solid I-beam axle, includes leaf springs, shock
absorbers, and a stabilizer bar.
The V model (four wheel drive) suspension includes
leaf springs, shock absorbers, and a stabilizer bar.

SHOCK ABSORBER BENCH TEST
SPIRAL GROOVE SHOCK ABSORBERS
1. Purge the air from the pressure chamber.
• Extend the shock vertically—top end up.
• Turn the sh o ck o ver and c o lla p s e it
vertically—top end down.
• Repeat the above step five times.
2. Place the shock absorber in a vise with the jaws
clamped onto the shock’s bottom mount.
— Shock absorber should be positioned vertically
in the vise—top end up.
— Do not clamp the vise Jaws on the shock’s
reservoir tube.
3. Pump the shock absorber at various rates of speed
and observe the rebound force.
— Rebound force is normally stronger than the
compression force (approximately two to one).
— Rebound force should be smooth and constant
for each stroke rate.
4. Compare with a good shock absorber.
5. If one of the following are observed, replace the shock
absorber.
— A skip or lag at reversal near mid-stroke.
— A seize (except at the extreme ends of travel.
— A noise (grunt or squeal) after completing one
full stroke in both directions.
— A clicking noise at fast reversal.
NON-SPIRAL GROOVE SHOCK ABSORBERS
• Purging air from non-spiral groove shock absorbers is
not necessary. The shock absorbers have a gas filled
cell in their reservoirs (as opposed to the air filled cell
in the spiral groove shock absorber reservoirs).
1. Place the shock absorber in a vise with the jaws
clamped on the shock absorber’s top mount.
— Shock absorber should be held vertically in the
vise with its bottom end up.
— Do not clamp the vise jaws on the shock’s
reservoir tube.I
2. Pump the shock absorber at various rates of speed
and observe the rebound force.
— Rebound force is normally stronger than the
compression force (approximately two to one).
— Rebound force should be smooth and constant
for each stroke rate.
3. Compare with a good shock absorber.
4. If one of the following are observed, replace the shock
absorber.
— A skip or lag at reversal near mid-stroke.
— A seize (except at the extreme ends of travel).
— A noise (grunt or squeal) after completing one
full stroke in both directions.
— A clicking noise at fast reversal.
DIAGNOSIS OF WHEEL BEARINGS
When diagnosing bearing condition, keep in mind the
general condition of all parts during disassem bly and
inspection. Use Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 to classify the failure, and follow the recommended repair procedures.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
All 10/1500 through 30/3500 series vehicles use a leaf
spring and solid rear axle suspension system (figures 1
through 7).
The rear axle assembly is attached to multi-leaf springs
by U-bolts. The front ends of the springs are attached to
the frame at the front hangers, through rubber bushings.
The rear ends of the springs are attached to the frame by
the use of shackles which allow the springs to “ change
their length” while the vehicle is in motion.
Ride control is provided by two identical direct double
acting shock absorbers angle-m ounted between the
frame and brackets attached to the axle tubes.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This section details special service procedures that are
not covered in the vehicle’s O wner’s Manual. For jacking
instructions, basic tire changing and rotation instructions,
and a detailed explanation of all other owner-oriented in
formation, refer to the proper section in the vehicle’s Own
e r’s Manual.
CERTIFICATION LABEL
The certification label contains information used to
determine which tire size and type the vehicle uses. For
further information, refer to GENERAL INFORMATION
(SEC. OA).
TIRE LOAD LIMITS AND
INFLATION PRESSURE
The factory installed wheels and tires are designed to
handle loads up to and including their rated load capacity
when inflated to the recommended inflation pressures.
Refer to “ Tire Load Limits And Inflation Pressure” at the
end of this section.
Correct tire pressures and driving techniques influence
tire life. Underinflated tires can cause handling problems,
p o o r fu e l e co n o m y , s h o rte n e d tire life , and tire
o v e rlo a d in g . H ea vy c o rn e rin g , e x c e s s iv e ly ra p id
acceleration, and unnecessary braking also increase tire
wear.
| 9 | Im p o rta n t
• The use of wheels and/or tires with higher load
capacity ratings than originally equipped on the
vehicle will not increase the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) of the vehicle.

CHECKING WHEEL AND
TIRE RUNOUT
Some vehicles are sensitive to tire and wheel assembly
runout. Tires that are satisfactory on one vehicle might be
unsatisfactory on another. W hen analyzing vibration
problems, it is important to keep this in mind. In addition,
different wheel positions on a vehicle may have different
sensitivity levels. You should check for wheel runout or
total wheel and tire runout in the following cases:
Inflate to recommended pressure.
Install correct tire-wheel combination.
Replace shock absorbers.
Align the front end.
Inspect, repair or replace as required.

Figure 2—Measuring Radial Runout
MEASURING WHEEL AND
TIRE RUNOUT
Runout measurements of the wheel and tire assembly
can be taken both on and o ff th e ve h ic le . These
measurements can be taken radially and laterally. A dial
indicator equipped with a roller contact point, mounted on
a heavy, solid base is the measurement device.
RADIAL RUNOUT
Radial runout is the egg-shaped difference from a
perfect circle. Measure tire radial runout from the center
tire tread rib although other tread ribs can be measured
as well. The total runout is the reading from the gage, and
the high spot is the location of the maximum runout. On a
rim, if either flange is beyond specifications, replace the
rim (figure 2).
LATERAL RUNOUT
Lateral runout is a sideways variation causing a twist or
wobble and is measured on a side surface. On the tire
and wheel assembly, measure the sidewall of the tire as
close to the trend shoulder design edge as possible. The
total runout is the reading from the gage, and the high
spot is the location of the maximum runout. On a rim, if
either flange is beyond guidelines, replace the rim (figure
3).
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
Inflate the tires to specifications.
Warm up the tires prior to taking measurements to
eliminate flat spotting.
• Newly installed tires usually do not require
warming up.
3. Raise the vehicle on a lift.
• If measurements will be taken off the vehicle,
mount each tire and wheel assembly on a
dynamic balance machine.
Mark the tire and w heel a ssem blies for exact
replacement.
• Mark a wheel hub bolt and its exact position on
the wheel.

Figure 3—Measuring Lateral Runout
• M ark each tire and w heel a s s e m b ly fo r
replacement on the exact hub/rotor assembly.
5. Take either a radial or lateral runout measurement.
• Place the dial indicator in position.
• Rotate the tire and wheel assembly (or just the
wheel) to find its low spot. Adjust the dial
indicator to read zero.
• Rotate again to verify the low spot location—the
dial indicator must return to zero.
• Disregard any instantaneous dial jumps due to
welds, paint runs, scratches, etc. on the wheel.
• Rotate the tire and wheel assembly (or just the
wheel) and note the amount of variance (runout)
from zero. Locate and mark the high spot.
6. If there is a large difference in runout measurements
from ON vehicle to OFF vehicle, the runout problem is
likely due to excessive runout of the bolt circle or hub.
7. If measured runouts are not within the guidelines
(located in “ Wheel Runout Specifications” at the end
of this section), proceed to “ Vectoring” to correct the
problem.
VECTORING
Vectoring is a technique used to reduce radial or lateral
runout— and even dynamic balance on tire and wheel
a s s e m b lie s . V e c to rin g c a n be a c c o m p lis h e d by
positioning of the tire on the wheel and positioning of the
tire and wheel assembly on the hub/rotor.

Figure 5—Tire to Wheel Vectoring—Excessive Runout
| j I Important
Tire And Wheel Assembly To Hub/Rotor Vectoring
• Always rebalance the tire and wheel assembly
after vectoring.
Tire To Wheel Vectoring
1. Determine which runout needs to be minimized.
• Determine visually.
2. If radial runout is the problem, take a measurement on
the center tread rib.
• If the trend is uneven, wrap tape tightly around
the tire, record the runout magnitude, and mark
the high spot location (figure 4).
3. If lateral runout is the problem, take a measurement on
the sidewall just below the edge of the tread shoulder.
• Record the runout magnitude, and mark the high
spot location.
4. Mark the tire sidewall at the valve location.
• This is the 12 o’clock position.
• The location of the high spot is always with
respect to the clock location on the wheel.
5. Break the tire and wheel assembly down on a tire
mounting machine and rotate the tire 6 hours (180°) on
the rim (figure 4).
• Reinflate the tire and measure the runout in
question.
• Record the magnitude and the location of the
high spot. (Valve stem is 12 o’clock.)
1. Mark the wheel hub bolt nearest the valve stem for
reference (figure 6).
2. Rotate the assembly two wheel hub bolts and recheck
the runout (figure 6).
• Several positions may have to be tried to locate
the optimum location.
• This can be effective for both radial and lateral
runouts.
3. If there is some looseness in the wheel hub bolt holes,
radial runout can be reduced by loosening the hub bolt
nuts slightly, moving the wheel position on the bolts
and then retightening the nuts.
4. Balance the tire and wheel to hub/rotor assembly.
• Compensates for any imbalance in the brake
rotor, drum, or wheel cover.
EXCESSIVELY TIGHT WHEELS
Use this procedure to remove the wheel and tire
assembly if it does not break free of the hub using a
standard removal procedure.
1. Tighten all the lug nuts on the affected wheel.
• Do not torque.
2. Raise the vehicle.
6. If the clock location of the high spot remained at or
near the clock location of the original high spot, the rim
is the major contributor to the runout problem.
• Confirm by removing the tire from the wheel and
check the wheel rim runout.
• If the wheel rim runout exceeds guidelines,
replace the wheel.
7. If the clock position of the high spot is 6 hours from the
original high spot, the tire is the major contributor to
the runout problem (figure 5).
• Replace the tire.
8. After correcting the tire to the wheel vectoring,
rebalance the wheel and tire assembly.
Figure 6—Tire and Wheel Assembly to Hub/Rotor
Vectoring
3E-6 WHEELS AND TIRES
3. Loosen each nut two turns.
4. Lower the vehicle to the floor.
5. Rock the vehicle from side to side to loosen the wheel.
Or rock the vehicle from forward to reverse allowing the
vehicle to move several feet in each direction. Apply
quick, hard jabs on the brake pedal to loosen the
wheel.
6. Raise the vehicle and remove the lug nuts and the
wheel.
SEPARATING THE TIRE
FROM THE WHEEL
N O TIC E: Use a tire c h a n g in g m a c h in e to
demount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire
irons alone to remove the tire from the wheel.
Damage to the tire beads or wheel rim could
result.
• Follow the tire changing machine m anufacturer’s
instructions to properly separate the tire from the
wheel.
MOUNTING THE TIRE ON
THE WHEEL
BIAS PLY TIRES
1. Clean the tire bead area.
RADIAL PLY TIRES
NOTICE: Recomm ended vehicle tire mounting
a n d in fla tio n p ro c e d u re s a re e s p e c ia lly
im portant with radial tires. Failure to follow
these procedures can cause bead deformation
in both tube type and tubeless tires due to
incorrect bead seating. Bead deformation may
lead to chafing, lower sidewall and bead area
cracking, eccentric wear, ride vibration and
nonretreadable castings.
Tube Type Tires
| 9 | Im portant
• Only use rims approved for radial tire usage by the
rim manufacturer.
1. Clean the rim parts.
• Remove all rust and other foreign material.
• Make sure the rim parts match and are not
sprung or broken.
2. Lubricate the tire beads, the portion of the tube
between the beads, and the flaps with an approved
rubber lubricant.
• Radial tubes are identifiable by the letter “ R” in
the size designation. A red band in the valve
stem and an “ R” in the flap size designation also
identify radial parts.
N O T IC E :

lubricants— this could cause the tire to slip on
the wheel.
2. Clean the rim bead seats with a wire brush or coarse
steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber, and light
rust.
3. Inflate to operating pressure, deflate completely, and
reinflate to operating pressure.
3. Apply an approved tire lubricant to the tire bead area.
• Allows the tube, flap, and tire to fit together
4. Attach the tire to the wheel.
• Use a tire ch an ging m achine. Follow the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION: Do not stand over tire when inflating.
The bead may break when it snaps over the
safety hump, and cause serious personal injury.
Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when
inflating. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not
seat beads, deflate, re-lubricate and reinflate.
Overinflation may cause the bead to break and
result in personal injury.
5. Install a valve core and inflate to the specified pressure
(figure 2).
• The locating rings on each side of the tire must
show above the rim flanges, positioned in direct
relation to the wheel (not eccentric as compared
with the rim).
6. Check the bead seating.
• T ire s m ust be m ounted and in fla te d in
accordance with the safety precautions included
with the tire mounting equipment.
p r o p e r ly .
4. Check the bead seating.
• Visually check the slot and side ring gap (on two
piece rims) to make sure the bead is seated.
5. Check the spacing between the rim flange and one of
the three lower sidewall rim line rings while the tire is
laying flat to verify bead seating.
• Measurements must be taken each 90 degrees
around the circumference of the rim flange.
• If the spacing is uneven around the bead from
side to side, repeat steps 1 through 3, then
recheck.
Installing Synthetic Tubes
NOTICE: When the tube and the flap are not
properly lubricated, and m ounted, they will
stretch thin in the tire bead and rim region. This
will cause premature wear.
1. Clean the inside of the casing.
2. Insert the tube in the tire and inflate until it is nearly
rounded out.
3. Inspect the rim for rust scale and bent flanges.
• Clean rust scale and straighten the flanges
where necessary.
WHEELS AND TIRES 3E-7
4. Apply a solution of neutral vegetable oil soap to the
inside and outside of the tire beads, and also the rim
side of the tube.
• Use a brush or a cloth swab.
• Do not allow the soap solution to run down into
the tire.
5. Follow the standard procedure when mounting the
tube and tire on a drop center rim. Be sure the tire is
centered on the rim so the beads are out of the rim well
before inflating. Do not allow the tire to hang loosely on
the wheel while inflating.
6. Center the valve and pull it firmly against the rim. Hold
in this position and inflate until the tire beads are firmly
seated on the rim against the flanges.
7. Remove the valve core to completely deflate the tire.
8. Reinflate the tire to the recommended pressure.
• R efer to “ Tire Load Lim its And In fla tio n
Pressure” at the end of this section.
Tubeless Tires
| j | Im portant
• Only use rims approved for radial tire usage by the
rim manufacturer.
1. Clean the rim.
• Remove all rust and other foreign material.
2. Lubricate tire beads and rim bead seats with an
approved rubber lubricant.
N O T IC E :
Do
not

lubricants— this could cause the tire to slip on
the wheel.
3. Inflate the tire to operating pressure.
• Due to the construction of radial truck tires,
particularly in the lower sidewall and bead area,
it may be difficult to get the tire to take air.
• An inflation aid may be necessary to help seat
the bead of tubeless radial tires. Two types of
inflation aids are commercially available—metal
rings which use compressed air to seat beads,
and rubber rings which seal between the tire
bead and rim bead seat allowing the bead to
move out and seat. Lubrication is necessary with
both aids.
4. Check the spacing between the rim flange and one of
the three lower sidewall rim line rings while the tire is
laying flat to verify bead seating.
• Measurements must be taken each 90 degrees
around the circumference of the rim flange.
• If the spacing is uneven around the bead from
side to side, repeat steps 1 through 3, then
recheck.
Im portant
• This procedure must be followed to insure proper
bead seating in order to prevent bead deformation.
• Radial tires, as well as bias tires, must be mounted
and inflated in accordance with safety precautions
noted in RMA Radial and Bias Truck Tire Service
Manuals.
INSTALLING THE TIRE AND
WHEEL ASSEMBLY

DESCRIPTION
PROPELLER SHAFT
Torque is transmitted from the transm ission to the rear
axle through one or more propeller shafts and universal
joint assemblies. The num ber of propeller shafts and
universal joint assemblies vary with the vehicle wheel
base, and the combination of transm ission, transfer case
(front drive) and rear axle equipment.
All propeller shafts are the balanced tubular type (figure
1). A splined slip joint is provided in some drivelines and
others use a companion flange at the transmission end of
the driveline. If two or more propeller shafts are used on a
vehicle the slip joint is usually at the forward end of the
rear propeller shaft.
Phasing
The propeller shaft is designed and built with the yoke
lugs (ears) in line with each other (figure 1). This design
produces the smoothest running shaft possible, and is
called phasing.
Vibration can be caused by an out of phase propeller
shaft. The propeller shaft will absorb vibrations from
speeding up and slowing down each tim e the universal
joint goes around. This vibration would be the same as a
person sn ap ping a rope and w atch in g the “ w ave”
reaction flow to the end. A propeller shaft working in
phase would be sim ilar to two persons snapping a rope at
the same time, and watching the “ waves” meet and
cancel each other out. In comparison this would be the
same as the universal joints on a propeller shaft. A total
cancellation of vibration produces a smooth flow of power
in the driveline. It is very important to reference mark the
p ro p e lle r s h a ft b efo re rem oval, to a ssure pha sed
in s ta lla tio n a lig n m e n t. Som e p ro p e lle r shafts have
alignm ent marks or arrows stamped on the shaft at the
tim e of production.
CENTER BEARING
Center bearings support the driveline when two or more
propeller shafts are used. The center bearing is a ball
type bearing mounted in a rubber cushion that is attached
to a frame crossmember. The bearing is pre-lubricated
and sealed by the m anufacturer (figure 2).
UNIVERSAL JOINT
A universal joint is two Y-shaped yokes connected by a
crossm em ber called a spider. The spider is shaped like a
cross having arms of equal length called trunnions (figure
3).
4A -2 PROPELLER SHAFT
Universal joints are designed to handle the effects of
v a rio u s lo a d in g s a n d re a r a x le w in d u p d u rin g
acceleration. W ithin the designed angle variations the
universal joint will operate efficiently and safely. When the
design angle is changed or exceeded the operational life
of the joint may decrease.
The trunnion bearings used in universal joints are the
needle roller type. The needle rollers are held in place on
the trunnions by round bearing cups. The bearing cups
are held in the yokes by e ithe r (depending on the
manufacturer) snap rings or injected plastic.
When a driveline has a large or deep angle a constant
velocity joint is used. Essentially, the constant velocity
joint is made of two universal joints coupled by a yoke and
phased for constant velocity. A centering ball socket
between the joints keeps a relative position between the
two joints. This centering device causes each of the two
units to operate through one half of the complete angle
between the propeller shaft and the differential carrier

DIAGNOSIS OF DRIVELINE VIBRATION
(ROAD TEST)
Four major component groups are usually the cause of
or are related to vibration. When a technician is road test
ing a vehicle for vibration he must remember the four ma
jor component groups:
1. Engine and mounts.
2. Clutch and transmission.
3. Tires, wheels and brake drums.
4. Propeller shaft and universal joints.
Before road testing a vehicle, check the following:
1. In or out of phase propeller shaft.
2. All fasteners for tightness at universal joints, wheel
lugs and engine mounts.
3. T ire a ir pressure.
4. Load conditions.
ROAD TEST
A technician should road test the vehicle to diagnose
exactly what the com plaint is. Record the speed and rpm
at which the greatest vibration occurs. The vibration is
likely to be in two places, in the steering wheel or in the
seat bottom. The road test can be helpful in locating the
vibration source either forward or aft.
COAST TEST
Drive the vehicle past the vibration speed, shift into
neutral and coast back through the vibration speed. In
this test two kinds of vibration normally occur; a shaking
or a buzzing. A shaking vibration is usually tires or a
wheel and brake drum /disc assembly problem. A buzzing
vibration is usually a driveline problem.

LUBRICATION
The front axle propeller shaft found on four-wheel drive
vehicles requires a special lubricant at two locations: the
constant velocity joint, and the slip yoke.
Constant Velocity Joint (C/V Joint)
The constant velocity (C/V) joint, located at the transfer
case end of the front propeller shaft, must be lubricated
p e rio d ic a lly w ith a s p e c ia l lu b ric a n t, 1050679 or
equivalent. If the lubrication fitting cannot be seen from
beneath the vehicle refer to figure 9 which shows how the
C/V joint may be lubricated from above, with a special
adapter J-25512-2 on the end of a flex hose (figure 9).
Slip Spline
Apply chassis lubricant at the slip spline grease fitting
until the grease begins to leave through the vent hole.
If the slip spline is dry or corroded, it may be necessary
to disconnect the propeller shaft from the vehicle, remove
the slip yoke, and wire brush the affected area. Wipe
clean before installation.

DESCRIPTION
Light duty trucks use various rear axles. These axles
can be identified by ring gear size in inches, by m anufac
turer (Corporate, Dana, or Rockwell) and by the type of
axle shaft used (Semi-Floating or Full Floating). Corporate
axles include the 8 V2 , 91fe and 101/2-inch ring gear axles.
Dana also supplies a 101/2-inch ring gear axle as well as a
9 3/4-inch ring gear axle. The 12-inch ring gear axle is sup
plied by Rockwell, and uses rear wheel disc brakes.
REAR AXLE OPERATION
A basic differential has a set of four gears. Two are
called differential side gears and the other two are
differential pinion gears. Some differentials have more
than two pinions. Each side gear is splined to an axle
shaft, therefore each axle shaft must turn when its side
gear rotates.
The d iffe re n tia l p in io n g ea rs are m ou nte d on a
differential pinion shaft, and the gears are free to rotate on
this shaft. The pinion shaft is fitted into a bore in the
differential case and is at right angles to the axle shafts.
Power flow through the differential is as follows: the
drive pinion rotates the ring gear. The ring gear, being
bolted to the differential case, rotates the case. The
differential pinion, as it rotates with the case, forces the
pinion gears against the side gears. When both wheels
have equal traction, the pinion gears do not rotate on the
pinion shaft because the input force on the pinion gear is
equally divided between the two side gears. Therefore,
the pinion gears revolve with the pinion shaft, but do not
4B1-2 REAR AXLE
rotate around the shaft itself. The side gears, being
splined to the axle shafts and in mesh with the pinion
gears, rotate the axle shafts.
If a vehicle were always driven in a straight line, the ring
and pinion gears would be sufficient. The axle shaft could
then be solidly attached to the ring gear and both driving
wheels would turn at equal speed.
However, if it became necessary to turn a corner, the
tires would scuff and slide because the outside wheel
would travel further than the inside wheel. To prevent tire
scuffing and sliding, the differential becomes effective
and allows the axle shafts to rotate at different speeds.
When the vehicle turns a corner, the outer rear wheel
must turn faster than the inner wheel. The inner wheel
turns slower than the outer wheel and slows its rear axle
side gear (as the axle shaft is splined to the side gear)
and the rear axle pinion gears will roll around the slowed
rear axle side gear, driving the other rear axle side gear
and wheel faster.
LOCKING REAR AXLE
Eaton Locking Differential
T he lo c k in g re a r d iffe re n tia l a llo w s fo r n o rm a l
differential function as indicated in the standard rear axle
description. Additionally, the locking rear differential uses
m u lti- d is c c lu tc h p a c k s and a s p e e d s e n s itiv e
engagem ent mechanism that locks both wheels together
if one wheel should spin excessively during slow vehicle
operation.
Under light loads, the clutch plates alone tend to lock
axle shafts to the differential case, and therefore, each
other. This is due prim arily to the gear separating load
developed on the right side clutch pack. This induced
clutch torque capacity resists motion between the side
gear and the rear axle differential case. The axle shaft
torques developed when turning a corner will overcome
this capacity and allow differentiation. Also, heavier
throttle application will cause differential, but this starts
the full-lock feature of the unit.
Full locking is accom plished through the use of a
heavyweight governor m echanism , cam system , and
multi-disc clutch packs. The flyweights on the governor
m echanism move outward to engage a latching bracket
w h e n e v e r th e w h e e l-to -w h e e l s p e e d v a rie s by
approximately 100 rpm or more. This action retards a cam
which, in turn, compresses the multi-disc clutch packs
locking both side gears to the case. The 100 rpm
w he el-to -w he e l speed allo w s fo r co rn e rin g w ith o u t
differential lock-up.
At vehicle speeds above approximately 32.2 km/h (20
mph), the latching bracket overcomes a spring preload
and swings away from the flyweights. At this vehicle
speed or greater, the differential will not lock, as the
added traction is generally not required.
All gear axle parts of vehicles equipped with the locking
rear axle are interchangeable with those equipped with
the conventional rear axle, except for the case assembly.
DIAGNOSIS OF THE REAR AXLE
The most essential part of rear axle service, as with any
m echanical repair, is proper diagnosis of the problem,
and, in axle work one of the most difficult areas to diag
nose is noise. Locating a broken axle shaft, or broken
differential gear, presents little or no problem, but, locat
ing and isolating axle noise can be an entirely different
matter.
Degree of Noise
Any gear driven unit, especially an automotive drive
axle where engine torque m ultiplication occurs at a 90
degree turn in the drive line, produces a certain amount of
noise. Therefore, an interpretation must be made for each
vehicle to determine w hether the noise is normal or if a
problem actually exists. A normal amount of noise must
be expected and cannot be elim inated by conventional
repairs or adjustment.
Acceptable noise can be defined as a slight noise heard
only at a certain speed or under unusual or remote
conditions. For example, this noise tends to reach a
“ peak” at speeds from 40 to 60 miles per hour (60 to 100
km/h) depending on road and load conditions, or on gear
ratio and tire size. This slight noise is in no way indicative
of trouble in the axle assembly.
D riv e lin e n o is e s m a y b a ffle e ven th e b e s t
d ia g n o s tic ia n . V e h ic le n o is e s co m in g from tire s ,
transmission, propeller shaft, universal joints, and front or
rear wheel bearings, are often mistaken for axle noise.
Such practices as: raising tire pressure to eliminate tire
noise (although this will not silence tread noise of mud
and snow tires), listening for the noise at varying speeds
and road surfaces, on drive, float, and coast conditions
will aid in locating the source of alleged axle noises. Thus,
every effort should be made to isolate the noise to a
specific drive line component instead of m aking a random
guess that could be a costly waste of time.
DETERMINING THE TYPE
OF NOISE
External Noise
When a rear axle is suspected of being noisy, it is
advisable to make a thorough test to determ ine whether
the noise originates in the tires, road surface, front wheel
bearings, engine, transm ission, or rear axle assembly.
N oise w h ic h o rig in a te s in o th e r p la c e s c a n n o t be
corrected by adjustment or replacement of parts in the
rear axle assembly.
Road Noise— Some road surfaces, such as brick or
rough-surfaced concrete, cause noise which may be
mistaken for tire or rear axle noise. Driving on a different
type of road, such as smooth asphalt or dirt, will quickly
show whether the road surface is the cause of noise.
Road noise usually is the same on drive or coast.
Tire Noise—Tire noise may easily be mistaken for rear
axle noise, even though the noisy tires may be located on
the front wheels. Tires worn unevenly, or having surfaces
on non-skid divisions worn in saw-tooth fashion, are
REAR AXLE 4B1-3
usually noisy and may produce vibrations which seem to
originate elsewhere in the vehicle. This is particularly true
with low tire pressure.
Tire Noise Test—Tire noise changes with different
road surfaces, but rear axle noise does not. Temporarily
inflating all tires to 345 kilopascals (50 pounds per square
inch) pressure, for test purposes only will materially alter
noise caused by tires but will not affect noise caused by
the rear axle. Rear axle noise usually stops when
coasting at speeds under 30 miles per hour; however, tire
noise continues but with lower tone as the vehicle speed
is reduced. R ear axle noise usually changes when
comparing “ p u ll” and “ coast” but tire noise remains
about the same.
Engine and Transmission Noises—Som etim es a
noise which seems to originate in the rear axle is actually
caused by the engine or transm ission. To determ ine
w h ich u n it is a c tu a lly c a u s in g th e noise, o b se rve
approximate car speeds and conditions under which the
noise is most pronounced; then stop the vehicle in a quiet
place to avoid interfering noises. With the transm ission in
neutral, run the engine slowly up and down through the
engine speeds corresponding to the vehicle speed at
which the noise was most pronounced. If a sim ilar noise
is produced with the vehicle standing, it is caused by the
engine or transm ission and not the rear axle.
Front Wheel Bearing Noise— Loose or rough front
wheel bearings will cause noise which may be confused
with rear axle noise; however, front wheel bearing noise
does not change when com paring “ p ull” and “ coast.”
Light application of the brake, while holding the vehicle
speed steady, will often cause the wheel bearing noise to
dim inish, as this takes some weight off of the bearing.
Front wheel bearings may be easily checked for noise by
jacking up the wheels and spinning them, and also by
shaking the wheels to determ ine if the bearings are
excessively loose.
Body Boom Noise or Vibration—Objectional “ body
boom” noise or vibration at 5 5 -6 5 mph (90-100 km/h) can
be caused by an unbalanced propeller shaft. Excessive
looseness at the spline can contribute to this unbalance.
O ther items that may also contribute to the noise
problem are as follows:
1. Undercoating or mud on the shaft, causing unbalance.
2. Shaft or companion flange balance weights missing.
3. Shaft damage, such as bending, dents, or nicks.
4. Tire-type roughness. Switch tires from a known good
vehicle to determine a tire fault.
If, after making a comprehensive check of the vehicle,
all indications point to the rear axle, further diagnostic
steps are necessary to determine the axle components at
fa u lt. True rear axle noise g e n e ra lly fa lls into two
categories: gear noise and bearing noise.
Rear Axle Noises
If a careful test of the vehicle shows that the noise is not
caused by external items, it is then reasonable to assume
that noise is caused by the rear axle assembly. Test the
rear axle on a smooth level road to avoid road noise. It is
not advisable to test the rear axle for noise by running
with the rear wheels jacked up.
Noise in the rear axle assem bly may be caused by a
faulty propeller shaft, faulty rear wheel bearings, faulty
d iffe re n tia l or p in io n sh a ft b e a rin g s , m is a lig n m e n t
Figure 1—Causes of Gear Noise
between two U-joints, or worn differential side gears and
pinions; noise may also be caused by a mism atched,
improperly adjusted, or scored, ring and pinion gear set.
Rear Wheel Bearing Noise—A rough rear w heel
bearing produces a vibration or growl which continues
with the vehicle coasting and the transm ission in neutral.
A brinelled rear wheel bearing causes a knock or click
approximately every two revolutions of the rear wheel,
since the bearing rollers do not travel at the same speed
as the rear axle and wheel. W ith the rear wheels jacked
up, spin the rear wheels by hand while listening at the
hubs for evidence of a rough or brinelled wheel bearing.
Differential Side Gear and Pinion Noise— Differentia!
side gears and pinions seldom cause noise since their
movement is relatively slight on straight ahead driving.
Noise produced by these gears will be most pronounced
on turns.
Pinion Bearing failures can be distinguished because
th e y rotate at h ig h e r sp ee ds than d iffe re n tia l side
bearings and axle shaft bearings. Rough or brinelled
pin ion b e a rin g s p ro du ce a c o n tin u o u s low p itch e d
w hirring or scraping noise starting at a low speed.
Side Bearings produce a constant rough noise pitched
lower than pinion bearing noise. Side bearing noise may
also fluctuate in the above rear wheel bearing test.
Gear Noise
There are two basic types of gear noise. The first type is
produced by broken, bent, or forcibly damaged gear teeth
and is usually quite audible over the entire speed range
and presents no particular problem in diagnosis. For
example, hypoid gear tooth scoring generally results from
the following: insufficient lubricant, im proper break-in,
improper lubricant, insufficient gear backlash, im proper
ring and pinion gear alignment, or loss of drive pinion nut
torque. The scoring will progressively lead to complete
erosion of the gear tooth, or gear tooth pitting and then
eventual fracture if the initial scoring condition is not
corrected (figure 1). A nother cause of hypoid tooth
fracture is extended overloading of the gear set which will
produce fatigue fracture, or shock loading which will
result in sudden failure.

Differential pinion and side gears rarely give trouble.
Common causes of differential failure are shock loading,
extended overloading, and seizure of the differential
pinions to the cross shaft resulting from excessive wheel
spin and consequent lubrication breakdown. The second
type of gear noise pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear
te e th . T h is fo rm of a b n o rm a l g e a r n o ise can be
recognized because it produces a cycling pitch (whine)
and will be very pronounced in the speed range at which
it occurs, appearing under either “ drive,” or “ flo at” or
“ coast” conditions. “ Drive” is acceleration or heavy pull.
“ Coast” is with a closed throttle and the vehicle in gear
and “ flo at” is using just enough throttle to keep the
vehicle from driving the engine; the vehicle slows down
gradually but the engine still pulls slightly. Gear noise
tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges, and will
tend to remain constant in pitch. Bearing noise will vary in
pitch with vehicle speeds.
Refer to figures 2 through 5 for bearing diagnosis.

DESCRIPTION
The front axle is a hypoid gear axle unit equipped with
steering knuckles and an automatic or manual locking
hub. The V-10/15 and 20/25 models use a Chevrolet front
axle having an 8 1/2-inch ring gear axle rated at 3600
pounds for the V-10/15 and 3800 pounds for the V-20/25. A
Dana (60 Series) axle is used on the V-30/35 model and is
rated at 4500 pound capacity. The Dana axle has a 9 3/4inch ring gear. Automatic hub locks are used on all
models to engage the hub whenever four-wheel drive is
selected. A manual locking hub is used on the V-30/35
model only and must be engaged manually whenever
four-wheel drive is selected.
4C-2 FRONT AXLE
DIAGNOSIS OF THE FRONT AXLE
ROAD TEST
•
•
•
•
•
Check tires for irregular wear.
Check tire pressure.
Check axle lubricant level.
Drive to warm up the front axle.
Test at various speeds in drive, float, coast and
while cornering.
• Verify that the hubs are locked.
TIRE NOISES
•
•
•
•
•
Change the tire pressure to minimize noises.
Drive over different road surfaces.
Smooth black-top minimizes tire noise.
Cross switch the tires, if necessary.
Snow tire treads and studs cause added noises.
ENGINE OR EXHAUST NOISES
• Drive slightly above the speed where the noise occurs,
place transmission in neutral.
• Let the engine speed drop to idle.
• Stop the vehicle.
• Run the engine at various speeds.
TEST FOR WHEEL BEARING NOISE
• Drive the vehicle at low speed on a smooth road.
• Turn the vehicle to develop left and right motions,
traffic permitting.
• Noise should change due to cornering loads.
• Jack-up wheels to verify roughness at the wheels.
‘ TEST FOR DIFFERENTIAL
BEARING NOISE
•
•
•
•
Drive the vehicle at low speed on a smooth road.
Constant low pitch bearing noise may be heard.
Noise should not change in reversing turns.
The noise pattern should vary with the wheel speed.
*TEST FOR PINION BEARING
NOISE
• Rough running or a whine noise should increase
with speed.
• Noise pitch should be higher than differential noise.
• Perform the test on a smooth road to m inimize tire
noises.
• Perform test at various speeds in drive, float, and
coast.
• Rear pin ion b earing noise m ay be lo u d e r on
acceleration.
• Front p in ion b earing noise m ay be lo u d e r on
deceleration.
• Gear noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range.
‘ Bearing tests should be done in 2H (after 4H selection to
lock hubs). This removes the transfer case whine.

BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
ROAD TESTING THE BRAKES
EXTERNAL CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT
BRAKE PERFORMANCE
BRAKE TEST
The brakes should be tested on a dry, clean, reasonably
s m o o th and le ve l roa dw a y. A tru e te s t of b ra ke
perform ance cannot be made if the roadway is wet,
greasy or covered with loose dirt so that all the tires do
not grip the road equally. The testing will be adversely
affected if the roadway is crowned so as to throw the
weight of the vehicle toward the wheels on one side or if
the roadway is so rough that the wheels tend to bounce.
Test the brakes at different vehicle speeds with both
light and heavy pressure; however, avoid locking the
wheels and sliding the tires on the roadway. Locked
wheels and sliding tires do not indicate brake efficiency
since heavily braked turning wheels will stop the vehicle
in less distance than locked wheels. More tire-to-road
friction is present with a heavily braked turning tire than
with a sliding tire.
1. Tires—Tires having unequal contact and grip on the
road will cause unequal braking. The tires must be
equally inflated and the tread pattern of the right
and left tires must be about equal.
2. Vehicle Loading—When the vehicle has unequal
loading, the most heavily loaded wheels require
more braking power than the others.
3. F ro n t W heel B e a rin g s — L o o s e fr o n t w h e e l
bearings permit the disc to tilt and have spotty
contact with the linings causing erratic action.
4. Front End Alignment—M isalignm ent of the front
end, particularly in regard to limits on camber and
caster, will cause the brakes to pull to one side.

HYDRAULIC BRAKES 5A-5
ON VEHICLE SERVICE
BLEEDING THE BRAKE
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A bleeding operation is necessary if air has been
introduced into the hydraulic brake system.
It may be necessary to bleed the system at all four
wheels if air has been introduced by a low fluid level
condition in the master cylinder or if the brake pipes have
been disconnected at either the master cylinder or the
com bination valve. If a pipe is disconnected at one wheel,
then only bleed that particular wheel.
The tim e required to bleed the hydraulic system when
the master cylinder is removed can be reduced if the
master cylinder is filled with fluid and as much air as
possible is bled from the cylinder before installing it on
the vehicle.
MANUAL BLEEDING
If the vehicle is equipped with power brakes, deplete
the vacuum reserve by applying the brakes several tim es
with the engine off.
Use extreme care to prevent brake fluid from contacting
any painted surface.
1. Fill the master cylinder reservoirs with brake fluid
specified in MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
(Sec. OB).
• Maintain the fluid level in the reservoir during
the bleeding operation.
2. If the master cylinder is suspected to have air in the
bore, it must be bled before any wheel cylinder or
caliper.
• Remove the forward brake pipe connection at
the master cylinder.
• Allow brake fluid to flow from the connector
port.
• Connect the brake pipe but do not tighten.
3. Slowly depress the brake pedal allowing the air to
bleed from the loose fitting.
• Tighten the fitting before releasing the pedal.
• Wait 15 seconds, and repeat this sequence,
including the 15 second wait until all the air is
purged from the bore.
4. After all the air has been removed from the forward
connection disconnect the rear pipe.
• Allow brake fluid to flow from the connector
port.
• Connect the brake pipe but do not tighten.
5. Slowly depress the brake pedal allowing the air to
bleed from the loose fitting.
• Tighten the fitting before releasing the pedal.
• Wait 15 seconds, and repeat this sequence,
including the 15 second wait until all the air is
purged from the bore.
6. If it is known that the calipers and wheel cylinders
do not contain any air, then it will not be necessary
to continue. Otherwise bleed each wheel in the
following sequence.
• Right rear
• Left rear
• Right front
• Left front
7. Attach a hose to the wheel cylinder/caliper bleeder
screw.
• Immerse the opposite end of the hose into a
container partially filled with clean brake fluid.
8. Slowly depress the brake pedal one tim e and hold.
• Loosen the bleeder screw to purge the air from
the wheel cylinder/caliper.
• Tighten the bleeder screw and slowly release
the pedal.
• Wait 15 seconds, then repeat this sequence,
including the 15 second wait until all the air is
purged from the wheel cylinder/caliper.
9. Continue steps 7 and 8 at each wheel until the
entire brake system has been bled.
10. Check the brake pedal for “ sponginess” and the
bra ke w a rn in g la m p fo r an in d ic a tio n o f an
unbalanced pressure. Repeat the entire bleeding
procedure to correct either of these two conditions.
PRESSURE BLEEDING
The pressure bleeding equipm ent m ust be of the
d ia ph rag m type. It m ust have a rub be r d ia p h ra g m
between the air supply and the brake fluid to prevent air,
moisture, oil, and other contaminants from entering the
hydraulic system. Also adapters are needed, depending
on the type of master cylinder used.
Tools Required:
J -2 9 5 6 7 B rake B le e d e r A d a p te r (P la s tic
Reservoir)
J-23518-01 Brake Bleeder Adapter (Cast Iron
Reservoir)
J-23709 Com bination Valve Depressor
NOTICE: It is very important that the correct
m aster cylinder bleed er adapter be used to
avoid possible damage to the master cylinder
reservoir.
1. Fill the pressure tank at least 1/3 full of brake fluid.
The bleeder must be re-bled each tim e fluid is
added.
• Charge the bleeder to 140 - 170 kPa (20 to 25
psi).
2. Use J-23709 to depress and hold the valve stem on
the combination valve during the bleeding operation
(figure 1).
• Install the correct bleeder adapter (figures 2
and 3).
3. Bleed each wheel in the following sequence.
• Right rear
• Left rear
• Right front
• Left front
4. Connect the hose from the bleeder to the adapter at
the master cylinder.
• Open the tank valve.
5. Attach a hose to a brake bleeder screw.
• Immerse the opposite end of the hose into a
container partially filled with clean brake fluid.
5A-6 HYDRAULIC BRAKES
B-07785
Figure 1—Installing Combination Valve Depresser
6. Open the bleeder screw at least 3/4 of a turn and
allow the fluid to flow until no air is seen in the fluid.
• Close the bleeder screw.
7. Repeat step six at all the wheels.
8. Check the brake pedal for “ sponginess” , repeat the
entire bleeding procedure if this condition is found.
9. Remove J-23709.
• Disconnect the line from the bleeder adapter.
• Remove bleeder adapter.
10. Fill the master cylinder to the proper level with brake
fluid.
______________________________________________ B-07783
Figure 3— Cast Iron Reservoir Bleeder Adapter
FLUSHING THE BRAKE
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
It is recommended that the entire hydraulic system be
thoroughly flushed with clean brake fluid whenever new
parts are installed in the hydraulic system.
Flushing is also recommended if there is any doubt as
to the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used
which contains the slightest trace of mineral oil. Flush the
system whenever there is any question of contamination.
Flushing is performed at each bleeder valve in the
same manner as the bleeding operation, except that the
bleeder valve is opened 1 1/2 turns and the fluid is forced
through the lines and bleeder valves until it emerges clear
in color. Refer to “ Bleeding the Brake Hydraulic System” ,
in this section.
Check master cylinder fluid level after flushing at each
valve and re p le n is h if re q u ire d . W hen flu s h in g is
completed at all bleeder valves, make certain the master
cylinder reservoir is filled to proper level.
BRAKE PIPES AND HOSES
T h e h y d r a u lic b ra k e s y s te m c o m p o n e n ts are
interconnected by special steel piping and flexible hoses.
Flexible hoses are used between the frame and the front
calipers, and the frame and rear differential. When the
hydraulic pipes have been disconnected for any reason,
the brake system must be bled after reconnecting the
pipe, refer to “ Bleeding the Brake Hydraulic System” in
this section.
HYDRAULIC BRAKES 5A-7
FLEXIBLE HOSE
On the front brakes the hose is connected to the caliper
with a bolt and copper washers. The fitting at the other
end of the hose is secured at the frame with either a nut
or a clip.
At the rear differential one end of the hose is connected
to the differential with a bolt. The other end is secured at
the frame with either a nut or a clip.
Flexible Hose Inspection
The flexible hoses should be inspected for any signs of
road damage which will cause cracks and chafing of the
other cover. If any of these conditions are visible, replace
the hose.

BRAKE PIPES
When replacing a steel brake pipe, always use steel
piping which is designed to withstand high pressure and
resist corrosion. The same size pipe must be used as the
one removed.
NOTICE: Never use copper tubing for hydraulic
brake lines because copper is subject to fatique
cracking, and corrosion which could result in
brake failure.
Brake pipes that run parallel to each other must
maintain a 6 mm (1/4-inch) clearance.
Pipe Flaring (Figure 5)
Tools Required:
J-23530 Flaring Tool.
J-23533-B Tube Cutter.
In order to ensure a proper flare, a special flaring tool
must be used. When using the tool, instruction furnished
by the tool manufacturer should be followed. Always
inspect newly formed flares for cracks or malformations
which m ight cause leaks. After flaring, blow out the brake
pipe with compressed air before installing on the vehicle.
NOTICE: Double lap flaring tool must be used,
as single flaring tools cannot produce a flare
strong enough to hold the necessary pressure.
1. Use steel pipe and fittings of the correct size. The
outside diameter of the pipe is used to specify the
size.
2. Cut the pipe to length. Add 3 mm (Vs-inch) to the
length for each flare.
3. Flare the pipe ends by following the instructions with
the tool.
4. Bend the pipe to match the old pipe by using a pipe
bender.
COMBINATION VALVE
The combination valve is comprised of three sections,
each serving a different function (figure 6).
The metering or hold off section of the valve limits the
pressure to the front disc brakes until a predetermined
front input pressure is reached, enough to overcome the
rear shoe retractor springs. There is no restriction to the
inlet pressures below 20 kPa (3 psi) to allow for pressure
equalization during the no apply periods.
The proportioning section of the com bination valve
proportions outlet pressure to the rear brakes after a
predetermined rear input pressure has been reached.
This is done to prevent rear wheel lock-up on the vehicles
with light rear wheel loads.
The valve is designed to have a By-Pass feature which
assures full system pressure to the rear brakes in the
event of a front brake system malfunction, also full front
pressure is retained in the event of rear m alfunction.
The pressure differential warning switch is designed to
constantly compare front and rear brake pressure from
the master cylinder and energize the warning lamp on the
dash in the event of a front or rear system malfunction.
The valve and switch are so designed that the switch will
latch in the “ w arning” position once a malfunction has
occured. The only way the lamp can be turned off is to
repair the m alfunction and apply a pedal force required to
develop about 3102 kPa (450 psi) line pressure.
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT TEST
1. Disconnect the wire from the switch on the valve.
• Connect a jum per wire from the switch wire to
ground.
2. Turn the ignition key to “ O N ” .
• The warning lamp should light.
• If the lamp will not light check the bulb. If the
bulb is good, refer to Chasis Electrical (Sec.
8B) for further diagnosis.
3. Turn the ignition off.
• Disconnect jum per wire and connect the wire
to the switch terminal.
Valve Warning Switch Test
1. Raise the vehicle.
• Support with suitable safety stands.
2. Attach a hose to a rear brake bleeder screw.
• Immerse the opposite end of the hose into a
container partially filled with clean brake fluid.

MASTER CYLINDERS
Figure 25—Composite Master Cylinder
DESCRIPTION
There are two designs of master cylinders available
depending on the brake option.
O ne is a fu ll c a s t iro n d e s ig n in c o rp o ra tin g a
conventional front to rear brake split (figure 24). The
primary piston provides the fluid pressure to the front
brakes, while the secondary piston provides the fluid
pressure to the rear brakes. If the pressure is lost from
either system, the remaining system will function to stop
the vehicle.
The second style master cylinder is designed for use
with a system using the low drag calipers (figure 25). In
addition to the standard master cylinder functions, a quick
take-up feature is included. This provides a large volume
of fluid to the wheels at low pressure with the initial brake
application. This large volum e of fluid is needed to
overcome the clearance created by the seal retracting the
pistons into the front calipers and the spring retraction of
the rear drum brake shoes.

Bleed the brakes, refer to “ Bleeding the Brake
Hydraulic System” in this section.
Release the parking brakes.
The purpose of bench bleeding is to remove the air
from the master cylinder so when it is installed on the
vehicle, the brake system bleeding will be reduced.
1. Plug the outlet ports and m ount the master cylinder
in a vise with the front end tilted slightly down.
2. Fill the reservoir with clean brake fluid.
Using a tool with a smooth rounded end tool,
stroke the prim ary piston about 25 mm (1-inch)
several times.
As air is bled from the master cylinder, with the
outlets plugged, the
resistance to the prim ary
piston travel will not allow the full 25 mm (1-inch)
stroke.
3. Reposition the master cylinder in the vise with the
front end of the master cylinder tilted slightly up.
Again stroke the prim ary piston about 25 mm
(1-inch) several times.
4. Reposition the master cylinder in the vise to the
level position. Loosen the plugs one at a time and
push the piston into the bore to force the air from the
cylinder. To prevent air from being sucked back into
the cylinder, tighten the plug(s) before allowing the
piston to return to its original position.
5. Fill the reservoir.
Normal bleeding procedures should be followed
after the master cylinder is installed.

5A1-2 HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEMS
HYDRO-BOOST SYSTEM TESTS
The Hydro-Boost system receives its source of power
fro m th e p o w e r s te e r in g s y s te m . T h e re fo re a
m alfunctioning power steering system may affect the
operation of the booster, just as a problem in the booster
may affect the steering system. Prior to performing any
tests, the following checks must be made.
1. C heck all the pow er ste ering and brake pipe
connections for leaks or restriction.
NOTICE: Power steering fluid and brake fluid
cannot bemixed. If brakesealscontact steering
fluid or steering seals contact brake fluid, seal
damage will result.
2. Check and fill the brake master cylinder with brake
fluid.
3. Check and fill the power steering reservior with
power steering fluid. If fluid contains air refer to
P O W E R S T E E R IN G (S e c. 3 B 3 ) fo r fu r th e r

NOISE DIAGNOSIS
T h e fo llo w in g n o is e s a re a s s o c ia te d w ith th e
Hydro-Boost and may or may not be cause for custom er
complaint. Some noises are normal and for the most part
temporary in nature. Other noises may be a sign of
excessive wear or the presence of air in either the booster
or the steering system.
1. A moan or low frequency hum usually accompanied
by a vibration in the pedal or steering column may
be observed during parking maneuvers or other low
speed maneuvers. This may be caused by a low
fluid level in the power steering pump or by air in the
fluid. Holding the pump at relief pressure (steering
wheel held all the way in one direction) for more
than five seconds will cause air to enter the system.
Check the fluid level and fill if needed. The system
must then sit for one hour to remove the air. If the
condition persists, refer to POWER STEERING
(Sec. 3B3).
2. A high speed fluid noise may be heard when the
brake pedal is fully depressed, this condition is
normal.
3. Whenever the accum ulator pressure is used, a
slight hiss may be noticed. It is the sound of the
hydraulic fluid escaping through the accumulator
valve, and is completely normal.
4. After the accum ulator has been emptied, and the
engine is started again, another hissing sound may
be heard during the first brake application or the
first steering maneuver. This is caused by the fluid
rushing through the accum ulator charging orifice. It
is normal and will only be heard once after the
accum ulator is em ptied. However, if this sound
continues, even though no apparent accum ulator
pressure assist was made, it could be an indication
that the accum ulator is not holding pressure and
should be checked using the procedure for the
“ Accum ulator Leakdown Test” in this section.
BOOSTER FUNCTIONAL TEST
With the engine off, apply the brake pedal several times
until the accum ulator is completely depleted. Depress the
brake pedal using 180 N (40 lbs.) of force and start the
engine. The pedal will fall and then push back against
your foot.
ACCUMULATOR LEAKDOWN TEST
1. Start the engine and charge the accum ulator by
applying the brake pedal or by turning the steering
wheel from stop to stop. Turn off the engine and let
the vehcile sit for one hour. After one hour there
should be at least two power assisted applications
with the engine off.
2. If the reserve system will not retain a charge for one
hour, but functions norm ally immediately following
charging, the accum ulator valves are at fault and
th e b o o s te r m u st be d is a s s e m b le d and th e
accum ulator valves replaced.
3. If the accum ulator can be heard charging and
d is c h a rg in g , b u t it d o e s not hold a c h a rg e ,
d is a s s e m b le th e b o o s te r and re p la c e th e
accum ulator valves.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEMS 5A1 -3
4. Deplete the accum ulator by pressing the brake
pedal several times. If the accum ulator can has lost
its gas charge, it is possible to rotate or wobble the
a ccu m u la to r can w ith resp ect to the housing.
Replace the accum ulator assembly.
C.
SEAL LEAK DIAGNOSIS (FIGURE 1)
A. INPUT ROD SEAL. A dam aged seal will show up as
a fluid leak from the mounting bracket vent hole.
The booster must be removed from the vehicle and
d isa sse m b le d . T he in p u t rod bore s h o u ld be
checked for any scratches that may cause the leak.
If scratches are present, the housing cover must be
replaced. If no excessive scratches are present,
then the booster seal kit can be used to replace the
appropriate seals.
B. POWER PI&TON SEAL. Power piston seal damage
will be noticed by fluid leaking out at the common
master cylinder brake booster vent and possible
reduction in power assist. The booster must be

E.
F.
removed from the vehicle and disassembled. The
piston should be checked for any scratches that
may be the cause of the leak. If scratches are
present, then the booster seal kit can be used to
replace the appropriate seals.
HOUSING SEAL. If the housing seal is damaged,
fluid will leak out from between the two housings.
The booster must be removed from the vehicle and
disassembled. The booster seal kit should be used
to replace the housing and input rod and power
piston seals.
SPOOL VALVE PLUG SEAL. Damage to this seal
will be noticed by fluid leaking out past the plug.
The booster need not be removed from the vehicle.
ACCUMULATOR SEAL. Damage to this seal will
result in fluid leakage past the accum ulator cap. The
seal can be replaced w hile the booster is installed
on the vehicle.
RETURN PORT FITTING. Tighten the fitting to 10
N m (7 ft. lbs.). If the leak continues, replace the
seal ring under the fitting.
VACUUM BOOSTERS
DESCRIPTION
SINGLE DIAPHRAGM MODEL
This booster is a single diaphragm vacuum suspended
unit. It may have a single function vacuum switch to
activate the brake warning light in case of low booster
vacuum or vacuum pum p m alfunction. In a norm al
operating mode, with the service brakes in the released
position, a vacuum suspended booster operates with
vacuum on both sides of its diaphragm. When the brakes
are applied, air at atmospheric pressure is admitted to
one side of the diaphragm to provide the power assist.
TANDEM DIAPHRAGM MODEL
This booster is a tandem vacuum suspended unit. It
may have a single dual function vacuum switch to activate
the brake warning light in case of low booster vacuum or
vacuum pump malfunction. In a normal operating mode,
with the service brakes in the released position, a tandem
vacuum suspended booster operates with vacuum on
both sides of its diaphragm s. W hen the brakes are
applied, air at atmospheric pressure is admitted to one
side of each diaphragm to provide the power assist.

BLEEDING THE
HYDRO-BOOST SYSTEM
Whenever the booster is removed and reinstalled, the
steering system should be bled.
NOTICE: The pow er steering fluid and brake
fluid cannot be mixed. If the brake seals contact
steering fluid or the steering seals contact
brake fluid, seal damage will result.
1. Fill the power steering pump reservoir to the proper
level and let the fluid remain undisturbed for at least
two minutes.
2. Start the engine and run momentarily.
• Add fluid, if necessary.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the fluid level remains
constant after running the engine.
4. Raise the front of the vehicle so the wheels are off the
ground.
• Support the vehicle with suitable safety stands.
5. Turn the wheels from stop to stop, lightly contacting the
stops.
• Add fluid, if necessary.
6. Lower the vehicle.
7. Start the engine and depress the brake pedal several
times while rotating the steering wheel from stop to
stop.
8. Turn the engine off and then pump the brake pedal 4-5
times.
9. Check fluid level, add fluid if necessary.
10. If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the vehicle to
stand a few minutes with the engine off. Then repeat
steps 7, 8 and 9.
11. Check for the presence of air in the oil. Air in the oil will
have a milky appearance. Air in the system will also
cause the fluid level in the pump to rise when the
e n g in e
is
tu rn e d
o ff.
If
it
beco m e s
obvious that the pump will not bleed the air after a few
attempts, refer to POWER STEERING (Sec. 3B3) for
further diagnosis.

DISC BRAKES
DESCRIPTION
The disc brake assembly consists of a caliper and
piston assembly, rotor, linings, and an anchor plate. The
caliper is mounted to the anchor plate, which allows the
caliper to move laterally against the rotor. The caliper is a
one-piece casting with the inboard side containing the
piston bore. A square cut rubber seal is located in a
groove in the piston bore which provides the hydraulic
seal between the piston and the cylinder wall.
OPERATION
As the brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure is
applied against the piston. This pressure pushes the
inboard brake lining against the inboard braking surface
of the rotor. As the force increases against the rotor, the
c a lip e r a sse m b ly m oves in b o a rd th u s p ro v id in g a
clam ping action on the rotor.
When the brake pressure is released, the piston seal
returns to its normal position, pulling the piston back into
the caliper bore. This will create a running clearance
between the inner brake lining and the rotor.
BRAKE LINING INSPECTION
Check the outer pad by looking at each end of the
caliper (figure 1). Check the lining thickness on the inner
pad by looking down through the inspection hole in the
top of the caliper housing. Whenever the lining is worn to
about the thickness of the pad, the lining should be
removed for further measurements. The pad should be
replaced anytime the lining is worn to within 0.80 mm
(1/32-inch) of a rivet head or the pad itself.

Also check the flatness of the brake pads. Place the
inboard and outboard lining surfaces together and check
for a gap between the lining surfaces. This gap should not
exceed 0.13 mm (.005-inch) at the middle of the lining
surfaces. This applies to new or used brake pads.

Do not move the vehicle until a firm pedal is

SERVICING THE ROTOR
In the m a n u fa c tu rin g of the brake rotor all the
tolerances regarding surface finish, parallilism, and lateral
runout are held very closely. The maintenance of these
tolerances provide the surface necessary to prevent brake
roughness.
Light scoring of the rotor surface not in excess of
0.38 mm (0.15-inch) in depth is norm al. This condition
does not affect the brake operation.
LATERAL RUNOUT
Lateral runout is the movement of the rotor from side to
side as it rotates on the spindle. This could also be
refered to as “ rotor wobble” .
This movement causes the brake pad and piston to be
knocked back into it’s bore. This results in additional
pedal travel and a vibration during braking.
Checking Lateral Runout (Figure 15)
1. Tighten the wheel bearings to eliminate all freeplay.
2. Attach a dial ind icato r to some portion of the
suspension.
• The point of the styles must contact the rotor
face about 25 mm (1-inch) from the rotor edge.
3. Move the rotor one complete rotation.
• The lateral runout should not exceed 0.10 mm
(0.004-inch).
4. A d ju s t th e w he el b e a rin g s , re fe r to FR O N T
SUSPENSION (Sec. 3C).
PARALLELISM
Parallelism is the measurem ent of the thickness of the
rotor at four or more points around the circum ference of
the rotor. All measurements must be made at the same
distance in from the edge of the rotor. The rotor thickness
must not vary more than 0.013 mm (0.0005-inch) from
point to point.
MACHINING
Since a ccurate co n tro l of the rotor to leran ces is
necessary for proper perform ance of the disc brakes,
machining of the rotor should be done only with precision
equipment.
All brake rotors have a minimum thickness dimension
cast into them. This dim m ension is the minimum wear
dimension and not a refinish dimension. Do not use a
brake rotor that will not meet the specifications, after
refinishing. Replace with a new brake rotor. Refer to
“ S p e c ific a tio n s ” in th is se ctio n fo r fin a l m ach in g
tolerances.

DESCRIPTION
The drum brake assembly is a duo - servo design. With
this particular design, the force which is applied by the
wheel cylinder to the prim ary shoe is multiplied by the
prim ary lining friction to provide a large applied force to
the secondary shoe. The torque from the brake shoes is
transferred to the anchor pin and through the backing
plate, to the axle flange. Brake adjustments are automatic
and are made during reverse brake applications.

SERVICING THE
BRAKE DRUM
Whenever the brake drum s are removed, they should
be thoroughly cleaned and inspected for cracks, scores,
deep grooves and out-of-round.
CRACKED, SCORED, OR GROOVED DRUM
A cracked drum is unsafe for further service and must
be replaced. Do not attempt to weld a cracked drum.
Sm ooth up any slig h t scores. Heavy or extensive
scoring will cause excessive brake lining wear, and it will
probably be necessary to machine the drum braking
surface.
If the brake linings are slightly worn and the drum is
grooved, the drum should be polished with fine emery
cloth but sh o u ld not be m ach in e d. A t th is stage,
elim inating all the grooves in the drum and smoothing the
ridges on the lining would require the removal of too much
metal and lining, while if left alone, the grooves and ridges
match and sataisfactory service can be obtained.
If brake linings are to be replaced, a grooved drum
should be machined. A grooved drum, if used with a new
lining, will not only wear the lining, but will make it
d iffic u lt, if not im p ossib le to o bta in e ffic ie n t brake
performance.
OUT-OF-ROUND OR TAPERED DRUM
An out-of-round drum makes accurate brake shoe
adjustment impossible and is likely to cause excessive
wear of other parts of the brake m echanism due to its
eccentric action. An out-of-round drum can also cause
severe and irregular tire tread wear as well as a pulsing
brake pedal. When the braking surface of a brake drum
e x c e e d s th e s p e c ific a tio n lim its in ta p e r a n d /o r
out-of-round, the drum should be machined to true up the
braking surface. Out-of-round as well as taper and wear
can be accurately measured with an inside micrometer
fitted with proper extension rods.
When measuring a drum for out-of-round, taper and
wear, take measurments at the open and closed edges of
machined surface and at right angles to each other.
MACHINING THE DRUM
If a drum is to be machined, only enough metal should
be removed to obtain a true, smooth braking surface. If a
drum does not clean-up when m achined to a maximum
diameter, it must be replaced. Refer to “ Specifications” in
this section. Removal of more metal will affect dissipation
of heat and may cause distortion of the drum.
All brake drum s have a maximum diameter cast into
them. This diameter is the maximum wear diameter. Do
not m achine a brake drum th a t w ill not m eet the
specification. Refer to “ Specifications” in this section.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
A manual adjustment of the rear brakes is requireed
after the rear linings have been replaced. The front disc
brakes require no adjustment.
CAUTION: Refer to “ Caution” on page 5A2-1 of
this section.
1. Remove the lanced area in the brake backing plate.
• The metal lanced area must be removed from
the brake assembly.

All new General Motors vehicles are certified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as con
forming to the requirements of the regulations for the control of air pollution from new motor vehicles. This
certification is contingent on certain adjustments being set to factory standards. In most cases, these adjustment
points either have been permanently sealed and/or made inaccessible to prevent indiscriminate or routine adjust
ment in the field. For this reason, the factory procedure for temporarily removing plugs, caps, etc., for purposes
of servicing the product must be strictly followed and, wherever practicable, returned to the original intent of the
design. For vehicles sold in Canada and equipped with non-closed loop engines, also refer to the appropriate
Canadian service manual supplement.
GENERAL INFORMATION
STATEMENT ON
CLEANLINESS AND CARE
• An engine is a combination of many machined, honed,
polished and lapped surfaces with very fine tolerances.
• Whenever valve train components, cylinder head,
cylinder, crankshaft, or connecting rod components are
removed for service, they should be retained in order.
At the time of installation, they should be installed in
the same locations and with the same mating surfaces
as when removed.
• Any time air cleaner, carburetor, or TBI unit is removed,
the intake opening must be covered. If a diesel engine
is being serviced, the recommended cover (J-29664-2
or J-26996-1) should be used. This will protect against
the entrance of foreign material which could follow the
intake passage into the cylinder and cause extensive
damage when the engine is started.
• When any internal engine parts are serviced, care and
cleanliness are important. A liberal coating of engine
oil should be applied to friction areas during assembly
to protect and lubricate the surfaces on initia l
operation. Throughout this section, it should be
understood that proper cleaning and protection of
machined surfaces and friction areas is part of the
repair procedure. This is considered standard shop
practice even if not specifically stated.
• On diesel engines, whenever the fuel injection pump or
lines are removed or disconncted, care must be taken
to prevent the entry of dirt into the pump, lines, and
injectors. The entry of even small amount of dirt or
other foreign material into the fuel injection system
may cause serious damage.
• It should be kept in mind, while working on the engine,
that the 12-volt electrical system is capable of violent
and damaging short circuits. When performing any
work where electrical terminals could possibly be
grounded, the ground cable of the battery should be
disconnected at the battery.
• Battery cables should be disconnected before any
major work is performed on the engine. Failure to
disconnect cables may result in damage to wire
harness or other electrical parts.
• Cover or o th e rw is e p ro te ct exposed e le c tric a l
connections to prevent damage from oil and fuel.
• When raising or supporting the engine for any reason,
do not use a jack under the oil pan. Due to the small
clearance between the oil pan and the oil pump
screen, jacking against the oil pan may cause it to be
bent against the pump screen resulting in a damaged
oil pickup unit.
6A-2 ENGINE
TUNE-UP INFORMATION
All information required to tune up the vehicle’s engine
is given in the Engine Emission Control Label. This label
is located in the engine compartment.
Information that can be found on the label includes:
• Spark plug type and gap.
• Ignition timing.
• Valve lash (if applicable).
• Idle, fast idle, and solenoid screw speeds, as
applicable.
• The proper sequence for making the adjustments.
• Emission hose routing diagram (sometimes on a
separate label).
USE OF RTV SEALER
AND ANAEROBIC
GASKET ELIMINATOR
Two types of sealer are commonly used in engines
covered by this m anual. These are RTV sealer and
anaerobic “ gasket elim inator” sealer.
It is important that these sealers be applied properly
and in the proper place to prevent oil leaks. THE TWO
TYPES OF SEALER ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.
Use the sealer recommended in the procedure.
• RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) sealer is used
where a non-rigid part is assembled to a rigid part.
Common examples are oil pans and rocker arm covers.
• Anaerobic gasket eliminator hardens in the absence of
air. This sealer is used where two rigid parts (such as
castings) are assembled together. When two rigid parts
are disassembled and no sealer or gasket is readily
noticeable, the parts were probably assembled using
gasket eliminator.
USING RTV SEALER
1. Don’t use RTV when extreme temperatures are
expected, such as exhaust manifold, head gasket or
where gasket eliminator is specified.
2. When separating components sealed with RTV, use a
rubber mallet and “ bump” the part sideways to shear
the RTV sealer. “ Bumping” should be done at bends
or reinforced areas to prevent distortion of parts. RTV
is weaker in shear (lateral) strength than in tensile
(vertical) strength.
Attempting to pry or pull components apart may
result in damage to the part.
3. Surfaces to be resealed must be clean and dry.
Remove all traces of oil and RTV. Clean with a
chlorinated solvent such as carburetor spray cleaner.
Don’t use petroleum cleaners such as mineral spirits;
they leave a film onto which RTV won’t stick.
4. Apply RTV to one of the clean surfaces. Use a bead
size as specified in the procedure. Run the bead to the
inside of any bolt holes. Do not allow the sealer in any
blind threaded holes, as it may prevent the bolt from
seating properly or cause damage when the bolt is
tightened.
5. Assemble while RTV is still wet (within 3 minutes).
Don’t wait for RTV to skin over.
6. Torque bolts to specifications. Don’t over-torque.
USING ANAEROBIC GASKET ELIMINATOR
1. Clean surfaces to be resealed with a chlorinated
solvent to remove all oil, grease and old material.
2. Apply a continuous bead of gasket eliminator to one
flange.
3. Spread bead evenly with your finger to get a uniform
coating on the complete flange.
4. Assemble parts in the normal manner and torque to
specifications.
REPLACING ENGINE GASKETS
CAUTION: Composite type gaskets are used in
some areas of the engine assembly. These
gaskets have a thin metal core. Use caution
when removing or handling composite gaskets
to help avoid personal injury.
GASOLINE ENGINE MECHANICAL DIAGNOSIS
The following information pertains to the basic assem
bly only. For more diagnosis information, refer to the fol
lowing:

GASOLINE ENGINE COMPRESSION CHECK
GASOLINE ENGINE
COMPRESSION CHECK
1. Disconnect the primary lead from the distributor or
ignition coil. Refer to ENGINE ELECTRICAL (SEC.
6D).
2. Remove all spark plugs.
3. Block the throttle plate and choke plate (if used) wide
open.
4.
M a k e s u r e t h e b a t t e r y is f u ll y c h a r g e d .
5. Starting with the compression gage at zero, crank the
engine through four com pression strokes (four
“ puffs” ).
6. Make the compression check at each cylinder and
record each reading.
7. If some cylinders have low compression, inject about
15 ml. (one tablespoon or about 3 squirts from a pump
type oil can) of engine oil into the combustion chamber
through the spark plug hole.
8. Minimum compression recorded in any one cylinder
should not be less than 70 per cent of highest cylinder,
and no cylinder should read less than 690 kPa (100
psi). For example, if the highest pressure in any one
cylinder is 1035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest allowable
pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105
psi). (1035 x 70% = 725) (150 x 70% = 105).
• Normal — Compression builds up quickly and
evenly to s p e cifie d com pression on each
cylinder.
• Piston Rings Leaking — compression low on first
stroke tends to build up on following strokes but
does not reach normal. Improves considerably
with addition of oil.
• Valves Leaking — Low on first stroke. Does not
tend to build up on following strokes. Does not
improve much with addition of oil.
• If two adjacent cylinders have lower than normal
compression, and injecting oil into cylinders
does not increase the compression, the cause
may be a head gasket leak between the
cylinders.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
This condition is normal. Oil drains from
the lifters which are holding the valves
open when the engine is not running. It
will take a few seconds for the lifter to fill
after the engine is started.
1. Dirt in hydraulic lifter.
2. Pitted or damaged check ball.
High leak down rate.
CORRECTION
None needed.
1. Disassemble and clean.
2 . Replace the hydraulic lifter.
Replace the hydraulic lifter.
1 . High oil level — Oil level above the
1 . Drain oil to proper level.
“ Full” mark allows crankshaft counter
weights to churn the oil into foam. When
foam is pumped into the lifters, they will
become noisy since a solid column of oil
is required for proper operation.
2. Low oil level — Oil level below the “ A dd”
mark allows the oil pump to pump air at
high speeds which results in noisy lifters.
3. Oil pan bent against oil pump pickup
screen.
4. Oil pump screen bent or loose.
2. Add oil as needed.
1. This noise is not connected with lifter
malfunction. It becomes most noticeable
in the vehicle at 10 to 15 mph “ L” (Low)
range, or 30 to 35 mph “ D” (Drive) range
and is best described as a “ hashy”
sound. At slow idle, it may be entirely
gone or appear as a light ticking noise in
one or more valves. It is caused by one
or more of the following:
• Badly worn or scuffed valve tip and
rocker arm pad.
• Excessive valve stem to guide clear
ance.
• Excessive valve seat runout.
• Off square valve spring.
• Excessive valve face runout.
• Valve spring dam per clicking on rotator.
3. Repair.
4. Repair.
1. Repair as necessary.

2. Off square valve spring. Occasionally
this noise can be eliminated by rotating
the valve spring and valve. Crank engine
until noisy valve is off its seat. Rotate
spring. This will also rotate valve. Repeat
until valve becomes quiet. If correction is
obtained, check for an off square valve
spring.
2. If the valve spring is more than 1.6mm

2. Excessive valve lash. Check for valve
lash by turning the engine so the piston
in that cylinder is on TDC of the firing
sroke. If valve lash is p re s e n t, the
pushrod can be freely moved up and
down a certain amount with rocker arm
held against valve. Excessive lash can
be caused by:
a. Worn pushrod upper end ball.
b. Bent pushrod.
c. Im proper lubrication of the pushrod.

Remove the air cleaner. Install J-29664-2 or J-26996-1
over the mouth of the intake manifold.
Disconnect the wire from the fuel solenoid terminal of
the injection pump.
Disconnect wires from glow plugs then remove all glow
plugs.
Screw J-26999-10 into the glow plug hole of the
cylinder that is being checked. Connect to a suitable
compression gage (figure 1).
Make sure the batteries are fully charged, and the
engine is fully warmed up (engine oil hot).
Tool Required:
J-26999-10 Compression Gage
Cranking speed is critical for a diesel to start, either hot
or cold. Some tachometers are not accurate at cranking
speed. An alternate method of checking cranking speed
or determ ining the accuracy of a tachom eter follows:
1. Connect J-26999-10 to any cylinder.
2. Disconnect the injection pump fuel solenoid lead on
the top of the injection pump.
3. Install the digital tachometer to be checked (if desired).
4. D e p re ss th e p re s s u re re le a s e valve on the
compression gage.
5. With the aid of an assistant, crank the engine for 2 or 3
seconds to allow the starter to reach full speed, then
without stopping, count the number of “ puffs” at the
compression gage that occur in the next 10 seconds.
Multiply the number of “ puffs” in the 10 second period
by 12 and the resulting number will be the cranking
speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).
Example:
10 seconds = 1/6 of a minute
1
puff = 2 RPM
RPM = No. of puffs x 2 x 6 or
RPM = No. of puffs x 12
Minimum cranking speed on the 6.2L diesel engine is
100 RPM cold and 180 RPM hot. The actual cranking
speed needed will vary depending on the condition of the
engine (compression) and nozzles.

DESCRIPTION
4.3L engines are 90-degree V 6 type, overhead valve,
water cooled, with cast iron block and heads.
The crankshaft is supported by four precision insert
main bearings, with crankshaft thrust taken at the number
four (rear) bearing.
The camshaft is supported by four plain type bearings
and is chain driven. Motion from the camshaft is transm it
ted to the valves by hydraulic lifters, pushrods, and ball
type rocker arms. The valve guides are integral in the cyl
inder head.
The connecting rods are forged steel, with precision in
sert type crankpin bearings. The piston pins are a press fit
in the connecting rods.
The pistons are cast aluminum alloy. The piston pins
are a floating fit in the piston.
ENGINE LUBRICATION
Lubrication schem atics are shown in figures 1 and 2.
The gear type oil pump is driven from the distributor shaft,
which is gear driven from the camshaft. Oil is drawn into
the oil pump through a pickup screen and pipe.
Pressurized oil is routed to the oil filter. In case of
excessive oil pressure, a bypass valve is provided.
Filtered oil flows into the main gallery and then to the
camshaft and crankshaft bearings. The valve lifter oil
gallery supplies oil to the valve lifters. Oil flows from the
hydraulic lifters through the hollow pushrods to the rocker
arms. Oil from the overhead drains back to the crankcase
through oil drain holes.
The tim ing chain is drip fed from the front camshaft
bearing. The pistons and piston pins are lubricated by oil
splash.

VALVE ADJUSTMENT
Remove the rocker arm cover as outlined previously.
Crank the engine until the mark on the torsional
damper lines up with the “ O” mark on the timing tab
and the engine in the number one firing position. This
may be determined by placing fingers on the number
one valve as the mark on the damper comes near the
“ O” mark on the timing tab. If the rocker arms are not
moving, the engine is in the number one firing position.
If the rocker arms move as the mark comes up to the
timing tab, the engine is in the number four firing
position and should be turned over one more time to
reach the number one position.
With the engine in the number one firing position as
determ ined above, the follow ing valves may be
adjusted:
— Exhaust: 1, 5, 6 .
— Intake: 1, 2, 3.
(Even numbered cylinders are in the right bank; odd
numbered cylinders are in the left bank, when viewed
from the rear of the engine).
4. Back out the adjusting nut until lash is felt at the
pushrod then turn in the adjusting nut until all lash is
removed. This can be determined by rotating the
pushrod while turning the adjusting nut (figure 4).
When the play has been removed, turn the adjusting
nut in one full additional turn (to center the lifter
plunger).
Crank the engine one revolution until the timing tab
“ O ” mark and vibration damper mark are again in
alignment. This is the number four firing position. The
following valves may be adjusted:

Front Engine Mountings
NOTICE: When raising or supporting the engine
for any reason, do not use a jack under the oil
pan, any sheet m etal or crankshaft pulley. Due
to the small clearance between the oil pan and
the oil pum p screen, jacking against the oil pan
may cause it to be b en t against the pum p
screen, resulting in a dam aged oil pickup unit.
1. Raise the engine to remove weight from the mountings
and to place a slight tension on the rubber cushion.
Observe both mountings while raising the engine.
2. Replace the mounting if the following conditions exist:
— Hard rubber surface covered with heat check
cracks.
— Rubber cushion separated from the metal palte
of the mounting.
— Rubber cushion split through the center.
3. If there is movement between a metal plate of the
mounting and its attaching points, lower the engine
and tighten the bolts or nuts attaching the mounting to
the engine, frame, or bracket.

6A4-2 SMALL BLOCK
DESCRIPTION
Small block engines covered by this manual are availa
ble in two displacements; 5.0L (305 cu. in.) and 5.7L (350
cu. in.).
Small block engines are 90-degree V8 type, overhead
valve, water cooled, with cast iron block and heads.
The crankshaft is supported by five precision insert
main bearings, with crankshaft thrust taken at the number
five (rear) bearing.
The camshaft is supported by five plain type bearings
and is chain driven. Motion from the camshaft is transm it
ted to the valves by hydraulic lifters, pushrods, and ball
type rocker arms. The valve guides are integral in the cyl
inder head.
The connecting rods are forged steel, with precision in
sert type crankpin bearings. The piston pins are a press fit
in the connecting rods.
The pistons are cast alum inum alloy. The piston pins
are a floating fit in the piston.
ENGINE LUBRICATION
Lubrication schem atics are shown in figures 1 and 2.
The gear type oil pump is driven from the distributor shaft,
which is gear driven from the camshaft. Oil is drawn into
the oil pump through a pickup screen and pipe.
Pressurized oil is routed to the oil filter. In case of
excessive oil pressure, a bypass valve is provided.
Filtered oil flows into the main gallery and then to the
camshaft and crankshaft bearings. The valve lifter oil
gallery supplies oil to the valve lifters. Oil flows from the
hydraulic lifters through the hollow pushrods to the rocker
arms. Oil from the overhead drains back to the crankcase
through oil drain holes.
The tim ing chain is drip fed from the front camshaft
bearing. The pistons and piston pins are lubricated by oil
splash.

one valve as the mark on the damper comes near the
“ O ” mark on the timing tab. If the rocker arms are not
moving, the engine is in the number one firing position.
If the rocker arms move as the mark comes up to the
timing tab, the engine is in the number six firing
position and should be turned over one more time to
reach the number one position.
With the engine in the number one firing position as
determ ined above, the follow ing valves may be
adjusted:
— Exhaust: 1, 3, 4, 8
— Intake: 1, 2, 5, 7
(Even numbered cylinders are in the right bank; odd
numbered cylinders are in the left bank, when viewed
from the rear of the engine).
Back out the adjusting nut until lash is felt at the
pushrod then turn in the adjusting nut until all lash is
removed. This can be determined by rotating the
pushrod while turning the adjusting nut (figure 4).
When the play has been removed, turn the adjusting
nut in one full additional turn (to center the lifter
plunger).
Crank the engine one revolution until the timing tab
“ O” mark and vibration damper mark are again in
alignment. This is the number six firing position the
following valves may be adjusted:
— Exhaust: 2, 5, 6, 7
— Intake: 3, 4, 6, 8

Position the seal half between the crankshaft and
the tip of the tool. Make sure that the oil seal lip is
positioned toward the front of the engine.
Roll the seal around the crankshaft using the tool as
a “ shoe-horn” to protect the seal bead from the
sharp corner of the seal seat surface in the block.
The installation tool must remain in position until the
seal half is properly positioned with both ends flush
with the block.
Remove the tool, being careful not to withdraw the
seal half.
2 . Lower seal half.
• Coat the seal lips lightly with engine oil. Keep
the oil off of the seal mating ends.
• Insert the seal half into the rear main bearing
cap. Use the tool to protect the seal half from
the sharp edge of the seal seat. Feed the seal
half into the rear main bearing cap, using light
finger pressure. Make sure the oil seal lip
faces the front of the engine (figure 21).

Figure 1—Lubrication Diagram
6.2 L diesel engines are 90 degree V8 type, naturally
aspirated, with indirect type combustion chambers.
The crankshaft is supported by five precision insert
main bearings, with crankshaft thrust taken at the number
three (center) main bearing.
The camshaft is supported by five plain type bearings
and is chain driven. Motion from the camshaft is transm it
ted to the overhead valves by roller type hydraulic lifters,
pushrods, and spindle mounted rocker arms. The valve
guides are integral in the cylinder head.
The connecting rods are forged steel, with precision in
sert type crankpin bearings. The piston pins are retained
by snap rings.
ENGINE LUBRICATION
A lubrication schem atic is shown in figure 1.
The gear type oil pum p is driven from either the
vacuum pump shaft or from a drive gear, depending on
engine application. The vacuum pump or drive gear is
driven by the cam shaft. Oil is drawn into the pum p
through a pickup screen and pipe.
Pressurized oil is routed to the oil cooler, located in the
radiator. A bypass valve is provided should the oil cooler
become restricted. Oil flows from the cooler to a full flow
oil filter. An oil filter bypass valve is provided should the oil
filter become restricted.
O il flo w s

galleries, providing pressurized lubrication to various
components.
The hydraulic valve lifters receive oil from the oil
galleries. Oil flows from the hydraulic lifters through
hollow pushrods to the rocker arms. Oil from the overhead
drains back to the crankcase through oil drain holes.
The pistons, piston rings, cylinder walls, and connecting
rod small end bearing are lubricated by oil splash.

DESCRIPTION
The connecting rods are forged steel, with precision in
sert type crankpin bearings. The piston pins are a press fit
in the connecting rods.
The pistons are cast aluminum alloy. The piston pins
are a floating fit in the pistons.
ENGINE LUBRICATION
B-05053
Figure 1—Lubrication Diagram (Side View)
4.8L engines are inline six cylinder type, overhead
valve, water cooled, with cast iron block and head.
The crankshaft is supported by seven precision insert
main bearings, with crankshaft thrust taken at the number
seven (rear) bearing.
The camshaft is supported by four plain type bearings
and is gear driven. Motion from the camshaft is transm it
ted to the valves by hydraulic lifters, pushrods, and balltype rocker arms. The valve guides are integral in the
cylinder head.
Lubrication schematics are shown in figures 1 and 2.
The gear type oil pump is driven through an extension
shaft from the distributor drive shaft, which is gear driven
from the camshaft. Oil is drawn into the oil pump through
a pickup screen and pipe.
Pressurized oil is routed to the oil filter. In case of
excessive backpressure at the oil filter, a bypass valve is
provided. This valve will allow oil flow to the main oil
gallery at the right side of the block. This gallery supplies
oil to the camshaft bearings, hydraulic lifters, and main
bearings. The connecting rods are supplied oil from the
main bearings by means of drilled passages in the
crankshaft. The valve train is supplied with oil by the
hydraulic lifters. Oil is pumped from the lifters through the
hollow pushrods to the rocker arms. Oil drains back to the
crankcase through oil drain holes and the pushrod holes.
The piston, piston pin, and tim ing gears are lubricated by
oil splash.

DESCRIPTION
All R/V, G„ and P series vehicles have pressure type
engine cooling systems with therm ostatic control of the
coolant circulation. The cooling system is sealed by a
pressure type radiator cap that causes the system to oper
ate at higher than atmospheric pressure. This higher
pressure operation raises the boiling point of the coolant,
thereby increasing the cooling efficiency of the radiator.
The 105 kPa (15 psi) pressure cap raises the boiling point
of the coolant to approximately 125°C (258°F) at seal
level.
The pressure-vacuum valve radiator cap allows the
coolant to expand through the pressure valve in the cen
ter of the cap without building unnecessary pressure. This
expanding coolant flows into the coolant reservoir. The
vent valve closes due to expansion and coolant flow (the
nominal 105 kPa (15 psi) pressure will not be reached until
the system is working at maximum capacity). Any air or
vapor in the cooling system will be forced into and out of
the coolant reservoir through the vent tube at the top of
the reservoir. As the system cools, the extra coolant in the
reservoir will be drawn back to the radiator through the
vent valve. In this manner, the radiator will keep itself full
at all times.
6B1-2 ENGINE COOLING
DIAGNOSIS
SYSTEM CHECKS
EXHAUST LEAKS
To check for exhaust leaks into the cooling system,
drain the system until the coolant level stands just above
the top of the cylinder head(s), then disconnect the
radiator upper hose and remove the therm ostat and fan
belt(s). Start the engine and accelerate several times. At
the same time note any appreciable coolant rise or the
appearance of bubbles which may indicate that exhaust
gases are leaking into the cooling system.
NOTICE: A worn head gasket may allow exhaust
gases to leak into the cooling system. This can
d am age the c o o lin g system as the gases
combine with the water to form acids which are
harmful to the radiator and engine.
WATER PUMP
Check water pump operation by running the engine
while squeezing the radiator upper hose. When the
engine warms a pressure surge should be felt. Check for
a plugged venthole in the pump.
Diagnosis/Inspection
1. Isolate the area by probing the engine w ith a
sounding bar (large screwdriver).
2. With the radiator cap removed, observe the water
being circulated in the radiator. Feel the front area of
the radiator for cold spots which indicate blockage.
Blocked radiators generally occur on units that have
accrued miles and not on new vehicles.
CAUTION: The radiator cap should be removed
from a cool engine only. If the radiator cap is
removed from a hot cooling system, serious
personal injury may result.
3. Inspect the therm ostat to see if it opens.
4. Inspect the therm ostat housing to make sure it is
free of obstructions.
5. Remove the water pump from the vehicle and the
back cover on the pump. Inspect internal passages
using a flash light.
6. Inspect the cross over at the front of the inlet
manifold. This entire passage can be seen with the
therm ostat removed.
7. Remove the heads, and check the block.
RADIATOR
Test for restrictions in the radiator by warming the
engine and then turning the engine off and feeling the
radiator. The radiator should be hot along the left side and
warm along the right side, with an even temperature rise
from right to left. Cold spots in the radiator indicate
clogged sections.
THERMOSTAT
Check the therm ostat by hanging the therm ostat on a
hook in a 33% glycol solution, 25°C (4°F) above the
temperature stamped on the therm ostat valve. Submerge
the valve and agitate the solution. The valve should open.
Remove the therm ostat and place it in a 33% glycol
solution, -12°C (10°F) below the temperature indicated on
the valve. With the valve submerged and coolant agitated,
the valve should close.
8. With the water pump and heads removed, inspect
the coolant passages by using a pen light flash
light. Replace the block if a restriction can be seen.
9. If none of the above inspections reveal the problem
area, inspect the heads. Heads with blocked coolant
passages generally have more than one area that is
blocked. Inspect the heads for signs of overheat
discoloration (a dark blue or black area). If none are
found, look in the coolant passages for blockage
and probe all accessible passages.
Use a substantial probe as a tag wire to go through
or around a partially blocked area. If nothing is
found by visual inspection and probing, inspect the
passages for a rough, ragged appearance. The
roughest internal passages are probably the ones
that are blocked.
Replace a blocked or suspect head and inspect the
replacement head before installation.
OVERHEAT AND/OR NOISE
Restrictions in the cooling system can cause the engine
to overheat and/or create cooling system noise.
Components prone to this condition are the cylinder
head, water pump, block, therm ostat housing and inlet
manifold. Symptoms include:
FAN CLUTCH DIAGNOSIS
NOISE
Fan noise is sometimes evident under the following
normal conditions.
• Engine may make snapping/cracking noises.
• When the clutch is engaged for maximum cooling.
• Heater core may gurgle or surge.
• During the first few minutes after start-up until the

overnight settling).
• Radiator hoses may collapse and expand.
• Heater hoses may vibrate and thump.
• Overheat light may or may not come on.
Symptoms are the result of coolant boiling at some
localized area and may be noticed after extending idling
and/or while driving. Determine which side of the engine
is involved and whether it is more at the front or rear of
the engine.
Fan noise or an excessive roar will generally occur
continuously under high engine speed conditions (2500
rpm and up) if the clutch assem bly is locked up due to an
internal failure. If the fan cannot be rotated by hand or
there is a rough grating feel as the fan is turned, replace
the clutch.
ENGINE COOLING 6B1-3
‘ NOTE: THE TEMPERATURE STICK IS A PENCIL LIKE DEVICE WHICH HAS A WAX MATERIAL CONTAINING
CERTAIN CHEMICALS WHICH MELT AT A GIVEN TEMPERATURE. TEMPERATURE STICKS CAN BE USED TO
DETERMINE A THERMOSTAT’S OPERATING TEMPERATURE BY RUBBING 86.6°C (188°F) AND 96.6°C
(206°F) STICKS ON THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. THE MARKS MADE BY THE STICKS SHOULD MELT WHEN
COOLANT TEMPERATURES OF 86.6°C (188°F) AND 96.6°C (206°F) ARE REACHED, RESPECTIVELY. THESE
TEMPERATURES ARE THE NORMAL OPERATING RANGE OF THE THERMOSTAT, THEREFORE, IF THE
COOLANT FLOWS AS INDICATED ON THE DIAGNOSIS CHART, THE THERMOSTAT MAY BE WORN

Figure 1—Thermostat Diagnosis Chart
LOOSENESS
Check a loose fan assembly for any wear and replace if
necessary. Under various temperature conditions a visible
lateral movement that can be observed at the tip of the
fan blade. This is a normal condition due to the type of
bearing used. Approxim ately 6.5 mm (1/4-inch) maximum
lateral movement measured at the fan tip is allowable.
This is not cause for replacement.
THERMOSTAT DIAGNOSIS
Refer to the therm ostat diagnostic chart for therm ostat
diagnosis procedures (figure 1).
COOLANT LEVEL INDICATOR
DIAGNOSIS
INDICATOR LAMP WILL NOT ILLUMINATE
SILICONE FLUID LEAKS
The fan clutch operation is generally not affected by
small fluid leaks which may occur in the area around the
bearing assembly. If leakage appears excessive, replace
the fan clutch (see below).
ENGINE OVERHEATING
If the fan and clutch assembly free-wheel with no drag
(revolves more than five tim es when spun by hand),
replace the clutch.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the CRANK position.
• If the lamp illuminates, the lamp is OK and the
connector is properly installed on the module.
Go to Step 2.
• If the lamp does not illuminate, check the bulb,
socket and wiring between the socket and the
module connector and the connector on the
module. Replace or repair as required.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and
disconnect the electrical lead a t the coolant level
sensor on the radiator.

DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT
PULLEY INSPECTION
Examine the pulleys for chips, nicks, tool marks, cracks,
bent sidewalls, corrosion or other damage.
1. Place a straightedge or position a cord across the
two pulleys so they touch at all points (figure 17).
2. Turn each pulley one half revolution and recheck
with a straightedge or cord. Full contact at all points
must be made. If contact is not made at all points,
the pulley may be warped or its shaft could be bent.
Replace any damaged parts.
DRIVE BELT INSPECTION
Replace frayed or cracked belts and tension to the
proper specification. Do not use drive belt dressings to
extend the belt life.
ENGINE COOLING 6B1-11
Figure 13—7.4L Engine Thermostat Replacement
(R/V and P)
CAUTION: Avoid over or under-tightening drive
belts. Loose belts result in slippage which can
cause belt and pulley “ glazing” and inefficient
component operation. Once a belt has become
“ glazed,” replace the belt. Loose belts can
also place high im p a ct loads on d rive n
component bearings due to the whipping action
of a loose belt. Over tightening belts can lead
to bearing damage and early belt failure.
DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT - V-BELT
1. Remove the old belt.
• Loosen the com ponent driven by the belt
(figures 18 through 22).
NOTICE: Place the belts into the pulley grooves
by hand. Do not force a belt into a pulley groove
by prying with a screwdriver, crowbar, or other
wedge type tool. Prying a belt into position can
d am ag e b o th th e b e lt a n d th e b e lt d rive
components.
2. Install the new belt.
• Tension the new belt to “ Specifications”
• Use J-23600-B to measure V-belt tension.
• Place the gage at the center of the greatest
span.

3. Run the engine at idle speed for a minimum of 15
minutes.
• This allows the belt to seat itself in the pulleys,
causing the belt fibers to relax, or stretch.
4. Allow the drive belt to cool until it is cool or at most,
warm to the touch. Not hot.
NOTICE: A used belt is one that has been
rotated at least one com plete revolution on the
engine pulleys. This begins the “ seating” of
the belt and it must never be tensioned to new
belt specifications.
5. Check the belt tension.
• Use J-23600-B to measure V-belt tension.
• Place the gage at the center of the greatest
span.
• The belt tension should be at the maximum
used belt specifications from the chart in
“ Specifications.”
DRIVE BELT ADJUSTMENT - V-BELT
Never tension a used belt to more than its specified
tension limit.
1. Check the belt tension.
• Belt should be cool or at least warm to the
touch. Not hot.
• Use J-23600-B to measure V-belt tension.
• Place the gage at the center of the greatest

DESCRIPTION
The radiator in the R/V, G and P series vehicles is a
crossflow tube and center type. Refer to figures 1 through
4.
All radiators are fitted with a shroud designed to assist
the fan in directing air flow through the radiator core and
to also serve as a fan guard. Provision for coolant expan
sion is achieved with a coolant recovery tank. This retards
coolant overflow, and reduces frequent refills.
Pressure is maintained in the radiator and system by a
pressure cap. The pressure cap has two valves; one re
lieves excessive pressure and the other compensates for
coolant contraction when the engine is stopped. Radiator
caps are provided in 105 kPa (15 psi) rating on all models.

RADIATOR MAINTENANCE
Check the outside of the radiator for bent fins, or signs
of leakage. Repair leaking radiator cores. Do not seal tem
porarily with a sealer type antifreeze or coolant additive.
Remove any stones between the fins. Clean loose debris
and road film from the radiator core with a quality grease
solvent and compressed air. Direct the stream of solvent
at the front of the core for more efficient cleaning.
To insure a thorough cleaning, remove the grille, fan
guard, and fan shroud.
Remove the radiator cap and look for plugging and
scale on the inside of the tank. Replace a badly plugged
radiator. Test the radiator and system as described in EN
GINE COOLING (SEC. 6B1).
1. Check the coolant level. If low, add recommended
coolant as required.
2. Check the hose connections and tighten the clam ps
if leakage is evident. Replace cracked, stripped, or
corroded clamps.
3. Check the coolant hoses for spongy or checked ap
pearance. Replace deteriorated hoses or bursting
could occur which would result in coolant loss and
extensive engine damage due to overheating.
4. Check the radiator core for leaks and for accum ula
tion of dirt which may obstruct the air passages and
reduce heat transfer.
5. Check the surge tank or recovery tank for leaks.
Plastic bottles may develop cracks for being dam
aged by flying objects. Check metal tanks at the
weld seams.
6. Inspect the radiator rubber m ountings and bum pers
for deterioration and replace as necessary. Check
the mounting bolts, supports, braces, tie rods, and
stabilizer rods. Components should be securely fas
tened in place if m ounting bolts are m issing, loose,
or stripped. Also check for damage to the core, side
flanges, and supporting components.
6B2-6 RADIATOR
7. Check for clearance between the fan blades, core,
and shroud. Check the fan attaching bolts for tight
ness and that none are missing. Replace the fan if
any blade is bent. The distance between the blades
and shroud should be equal around the perimeter of
the shroud. Adjust as necessary after any adjust
ment has been made to the fan or the fan mounting
bracket and hub.
8. Inspect the filler cap seal for evidence of cracking,
separation, or deterioration. Replace as required.
9. To assist in m aintaining efficient heat dissipation, an
occasional external flushing with water will remove
the majority of dirt accum ulation and foreign matter
from between core fins. Direct water under moder
ate pressure from behind the core to force debris
out in the opposite direction of its entry. Direct the
water stream in line with the fins to reduce the pos
sibility of bending fins.
RADIATOR INTERNAL DEPOSITS
A radiator that has a dirty, obstructed core or is leaking
will cause the engine to overheat. A scale deposit inside
the radiator is a result of using hard, high mineral content
water in the cooling system. The effect of heat on the
minerals in the water causes the formation of scale, or
hard coating, on m etal surfaces w ithin the radiator,
thereby reducing the transfer of heat. Some hard water
will produce a silt-like deposit which restricts the flow of
water. This must be flushed out at least twice a year —
more often if necessary.
SCALE REMOVAL
To remove the hardened scale, a direct chem ical action
is necessary. A flushing compound at the specified rate of
30 grams per liter (4 oz. per gallon) of radiator capacity,
should be added to the coolant water in the form of a
dissolved solution while the engine is running. Operate
the engine for 15 minutes, then drain and flush the system
with clean water.
T he re are v a rio u s typ e s of flu s h in g c o m p o u n d s
comm ercially available and should be obtained from a
reliable source. Most com pounds attack m etals and
should not remain in the engine for more than a few
minutes. Use a neutralizer after a descaling solvent is
used.
For extremely hard, stubborn coatings, such as lime
scale, use a stronger solution. The corrosive action of a
stronger solution will affect the thin metals of the radiator,
thereby reducing its operating life. A complete flushing
and rinsing is mandatory and must be accom plished
skillfully.
After using the solvent and neutralizer and flusing the
cooling system, drain the system and fill it with clean, soft
water plus a rust inhibitor or high boiling point type
antifreeze. After filling the cooling system, check for
radiator, hose, and engine coolant leaks.

Figure 15—Testing The Radiator Cap
As liquid in the system cools it contracts; this allows the
pressure valve to close and also creates a partial vacuum
in the system. Atm ospheric pressure acting through the
overflow tube unseats the vacuum valve and allows air to
enter the system. The overflow pipe connects to the valve
outside the valve seal; thus no liquid or air can escape
from the system when both valves are in the closed
position.

T h e ra d ia to r f ille r c a p is c o n s tru c te d w ith a
spring-loaded rubber seal which is pressed firm ly against
the surface of the fille r neck seat when the cap is
installed. The rubber seal must be in good condition and
the top of the radiator filler neck must be clean and
smooth to form an airtight seal. The seal of the filler cap
and the operation of the pressure relief valve can be
checked using a conventional cooling system testing kit
(figure 15).
When the engine is at normal operating temperature or
above, the internal pressure buildup in the cooling system
will blow out scalding fluid and vapors if the radiator cap
is suddenly removed. To prevent loss of coolant and the
danger of being burned check or add coolant when the
engine is cool. If the cap must be removed when the
engine is hot, place a cloth over the cap and rotate the
cap slow ly counterclockw ise to first stop and allow
pressure to escape. The cap and filler neck meet at right
angles in a safety detent position. The cap locking tank is
flat and the filler neck has a straight tab (figure 16). To
turn the cap beyond this point and remove the cap, the
cap must be pressed down to clear the safety detent and
turned counterclockwise.

and water pump. The surge tank incorporates the cooling
system filler cap.
At regular intervals check the tank and connecting
hoses for leaks. Keep the hose clam ps and mounting
bolts tightened.
Check the mounting brackets and supports for cracks

if deteriorated or loose from wear, replace.
ALUMINUM Rfi
DESCRIPTION
This radiator utilizes an aluminum core with plastic side
ta n ks. T h e co re and sid e ta n k s can be re p la c e d
separately and core repair is easily made with the hot
melt adhesive method. A transm ission oil cooler is located
in one of the side tanks. The oil coolers can be replaced.
The drain cock is located on the lower part of one of the
tanks. The drain cock is also serviceable.
IATOR REPAIR
TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER
Replace the oil cooler by removing the tank from the
core.
A leaking oil cooler gasket can be replaced w ithout
removing the tank from the core.
DRAIN COCK
The alum inum /plastic radiator utilizes a two piece
plastic drain cock and a rubber seal. The drain cock is
serviceable (figure 20).
CORE
The core is made of aluminum and is of the crossflow
design. It utilizes large tubes that resist plugging, and
repairs to the tubes and core are easily made using the
hot melt adhesive method.
The core is attached to the tanks by clinched tabs on
the core that can be bent back if tank or core replacement
is required.
If the damage to a tube is too severe, a tube can be
blocked or plugged as explained in “ Tube Blocking.” No
more than two tubes should ever be blocked on a core.
Also replace the core if more than three tabs are broken
on one side or if two adjacent tabs are broken.
TANKS
The tanks are attached to the core by clinched tabs
attached to the sides of the core. The clinched tabs can
be bent back if the tanks need to be removed from the
core. Bend the tabs back only enough to remove the tank.
Overbending will weaken the tabs.
A high temperature rubber gasket is used to seal the
mating surface between the core and the tank (figure 19).
The gasket must be replaced any tim e a tank is removed
from the core.
DIAGNOSIS
LEAK TESTING
Some core leaks can be detected by adding water to
the radiator. Clean the core so that the damaged area can
be found.
1. Remove d irt and insects from the fin s w ith a
common water hose w ithout a nozzle. Excessive
water pressure could damage the fins.
2. Scrub the core with a soft-bristle brush using clean,
hot water or hot water with a mild detergent solution.
On-Vehicle Pressure Testing
You can pressure-test the alum inum -plastic radiator
with J-24460-01 with J-23699 (figure 21). W ith the system
at a cool temperature, remove the radiator cap, connect
the gage, and apply normal system operating pressure.
Do not exceed 138 kPa (20 psi). Watch the gage needle
for an indication of a leak, and examine the radiator and
other cooling system parts for escaping coolant.
Repair all hose and hose connections as required.
Check the radiator cap to ensure that it will maintain the
correct pressure.
If the radiator leaks during the pressure test, mark the
leak area.

Off-Vehicle Leak Testing
NOTICE: Do not use boil-out tanks or vats or
other tanks that have been used for copper and
brass radiators. The flux, acid, and caustic
cleaners remaining in these tanks will attack the
aluminum and cause radiator failure. A separate
te s t ta n k c o n ta in in g c le a n
w a te r is
recom m ended for servicing alum inum/plastic
radiators.
1. Install test fittings or rubber test caps in the inlet and
outlet necks and seal the oil cooler fittings with
metal plugs to protect the cooler and keep the fluid
from running out (figure 22).
Figure 21—Pressure Testing the Radiator
RADIATOR 6B2-17
2. Attach the pressure tester and gradually apply air
pressure until 138 kPa (20 psi) is attained. Do not
exceed 138 kPa (20 psi). Check the pressure gage
to see if there is a pressure loss. To ensure that
there are no small leaks, run water over the repair
area and look for bubbles. (A mild detergent is
helpful).
If a large water tank is available, submerge the
radiator and a check for air bubbles.
REPAIRABLE LEAKS
There are two types of leaks that can be repaired on the
alum inum -plastic radiator: core leaks and gasket leaks.
Leaks in the plastic tanks cannot be repaired (figure 23).
Core leaks can occur in a tube or in the joints between
the tubes and headers. Gasket leaks can occur in the
113A
121
113B
joints between the plastic tanks and the headers or in the
joints between the oil cooler fittings and the tank. Some
leaks can be repaired while the radiator is on the vehicle;
however, it is usually best to remove the radiator.
Repair Methods
There are several methods that can be used to repair
the radiator core, but the hot melt adhesive method is the
most effective.
The kit contains adhesive sticks, cotton swabs, a wire
brush and the primer. The adhesive stick is reusable, has
an indefinite shelf life and is waste-free. Store the in a
sealed container to keep them dry (figure 24).

CAUTION: To help avoid the danger of being
burned, do not remove the radiator cap while
the engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding
flu id and steam can be blown out under
pressure if the cap is taken off too soon.
NOTICE: DO NOT USE “ BOIL O U T ’ TANKS OR
VATS. Common service methods may destroy
an aluminum radiator. Do not use caustic or lye
cleaning solutions for aluminum radiators. USE
CLEAN WATER WHEN SERVICING ALUMINUM
RADIATORS.
• Do not open the hood if you can see or hear steam
or coolant escaping from the engine compartment.

Figure 25—Removing the Fins from a Damage Area
• Do not remove the radiator cap if the radiator feels
warm.
• Do not remove the radiator cap or coolant recovery
tank cap if the coolant in the recovery tank looks like
it is boiling.
• Wear eye protection.
• Wear gloves to protect your hands against excessive
heat or the effects of chem icals on your skin.

• Do not use boil-out tanks or vats or other tanks that
have been used for copper and brass radiators. The
flux, acid, and caustic cleaners remaining in these
tanks will attack the aluminum and cause radiator
failure. A separate test tank containing clean water
is recom m ended for servicing alum inum /plastic
radiators.
NOTICE: Never use shop air to pressure test
radiators that is not regulated at 138 kPa (20
psi). Pressures o ver 138 kPa (20 psi) w ill
damage the radiator.
Figure 26—Tube Blocking
HEADER REPAIR
If the header or a tube near the header requires a
repair, the side tank does not have to be removed. Place a
damp cloth against the side tank where the repair has to
be made (figure 27). The side tank can be submerged in a
tank of water up to the header (figure 28).
SPECIAL PREPARATION
For damaged areas that are between the cooling fins, it
may be necessary to remove some of the fins. Do not
remove more fins than necessary. Usually 6 mm (1/4-inch)
beyond the leak or dam age area is enough to make an
effective repair (figure 25).
TUBE BLOCKING
If a tube is severely damaged, it can be blocked off
(figure 26).
NOTICE: Do not block off more than two tubes
in a radiator. Blocking off more than two tubes
will reduce the cooling capability of the system.
Cut the tube off 6 mm (1/4-inch) from the header and
pinch shut before it is cleaned and sealed. Refer to
“ General Core Sealing.”

Figure 28—Submerging the Side Tank
NOTICE: One of these procedures have to be
used when repairs are made on or near the
header to prevent damage to the tank or gasket.
CAUTION: The primer contains trichlorethane.
• It could be harmful or fatal if swallowed. If
swallowed, get medical attention.
• Use with adequate ventilation.
• In case of eye contact, flush with water and
get medical attention.
• In case of body contact, wash with soap
and water.
• Do not mix the primer with water.
GENERAL CORE REPAIR
Preparation of the surface in the repair area cannot be
overemphasized. If the leak area surface is not clean,
none of the repair materials will stick to the surface.
6. Scrub the repair area with a cotton swab until a
fresh swab stays clean. The clear, yellow-brown
coating does not have to be removed (figure 30).
1. Position the core so the repair area is accessible.
7. Heat the repair area with a heat gun or by moving
the torch in a circular pattern (figure 31). Use a soft,
small blue flame (like a gas stove flame).
2. Apply a wet cloth if you are working near the plastic
tanks or the joints between the core tubes and
header (figure 27); or submerge the tank in water
(figure 28).
3. Heat the repair area slightly with a small torch or
heat gun to be sure it is dry. Do not use a blow
torch.
4. Brush the area to be repaired with the small steel
brush that is supplied in the kit and blow dust away
from the repair area (figure 29).
5. Open the tube of primer, using the spurred cap or a
pin, and apply prim er to the repair area only. Use of
the prim er produces a stronger repair. Do not heat
the primer.
Figure 29—Cleaning the Repair Area with A
Steel Brush
8. W ithdraw the torch and rub the adhesive stick on
the repair area (figure 32). The adhesive will flow at
a temperature of approximately 260°C (500°F). If
the stick doesn’t start to melt, remove it and reapply
the heat. Do not heat the stick directly with a
flame. High heat will burn and char the adhesive.
9. Continue heating until the adhesive flows and wets
the entire repair area and fills the joint. If a hole is in
the center of a tube, heat the tube and let the hot
surface melt and pull in the adhesive. The force of
the flame or heat gun will also tend to guide the
adhesive toward the hole. For leaks between a tube
and header, flow the adhesive around the tube and
header joint with the tank installed.

Curing is not required.
11. Test the radiator when cool. If the repair area still
leaks, reheat it gently to dry it. Heat and reflow the
adhesive or apply more as necessary to repair the
leak.
TANK GASKET LEAK REPAIR
Tank gasket leaks can be mistaken for tank or header
leaks. If a plactic tank leaks from the header joint gasket,
tighten the clinch tabs with locking-type pliers (figure 33).
If this method doesn’t seal the leak, remove the tank for
further inspection.
1. Pry open the clinch tabs, except those under the
inlet, outlet, and filler necks, using J-33419-1 or a
screwdriver (figure 34). Lift the tabs only enough to
allow removal.
N O T IC E : Do n o t o v e rb e n d th e tab s .
Overbending could result in breakage. If there
are more than 3 tabs broken on one side of the
header, or more than 2 adjacent tabs together,
replace the core.
2. L ift the ta nk and slide it out from under the
remaining clinched tab. You may have to tap the
tank with your hand to dislodge the gasket. Lift the
remaining tab(s) with pliers.
3. Remove and discard the gasket.
4. Clean the header and gasket groove of all dirt and
old rubber.
5. Clean the sealing edge of the plastic tank.
6. Examine the header gasket surface and tank flange
for leakage, and clean or repair the surface to
remove dirt, burrs, and bumps.
7. Remove the oil cooler, if equipped, and install it in
the new tank, if used.
8. Dip or coat the new tank gasket in engine coolant
and position it on the header surface. The coolant
helps hold the gasket in place.
9. Position the tank and gasket to the header, clam p it
in place and secure it by bending four clinch tabs as
shown in figure 35.
10. Clamp remaining clinch tabs around the header
using the clinching tool or pliers (figure 36).
NOTICE: Tighten the clinch tabs by starting at
the center and working out to the ends.
11. Replace the core if there are more than three tabs
broken on one side or two adjacent tabs broken.
12. Install the drain cock, if removed.
13. Test the radiator for leaks.

All new GM vehicles are certified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as conforming to the require
ments of the regulations for the control of air pollution from new motor vehicles. This certification is contingent on certain
adjustments being set to factory standards. In most cases, these adjustment points either have been permanently sealed
and/or made inaccessible to prevent indiscrim inate or routine adjustm ent in the field. For this reason, the factory proce
dure for tem porarily removing plugs, cap, etc., for purposes of servicing the product, must be strictly followed and,
wherever practicable, returned to the original intent of the design. For vehicles sold in Canada and equipped with non
closed loop engines, also refer to the appropriate Canadian service manual supplement.
DESCRIPTION
This section covers information for carbureted and diesel engines only. For fuel system information on TBI equipped
vehicles, refer to the “ Fuel And Emissions Service M anual.”
6C-2 FUEL SYSTEM
AIR CLEANER
CAUTION: The air cleaner also functions as a
flame arrestor in the event of engine backfire.
The air cleaner should be installed at all times
unless its removal is necessary for repair or
maintenance. To help reduce the risk of per
sonal injury and property damage, be sure that
no one is near the engine compartment before
starting the engine with the air cleaner re
moved. If engine backfire occurs with the air
cleaner removed, there could be a burst of
flame and possibly other fire in the engine com
partment.
On vehicles with diesel engines, do not use
starting fluids—immediate engine damage can
result. Also take care not to let objects fall into
the engine if the air cleaner is removed. If the
engine is running, suction can pull loose ob
jects into the engine. Objects pulled or dropped
into the engine can cause costly engine dam
age.
When replacement of the air cleaner filter element is
necessary, an AC air filter element is recommended.
Refer to “ MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION” (SEC.
OB) for change intervals. Operation of the vehicle in dusty
areas will necessitate more frequent replacement.

DIESEL ENGINE FUEL FILTERS
The diesel engine fuel filter is an inline type filter which
com bines several different functions. It acts as a filter,
water separator, water detector, water drain, and a fuel
heater (Figure 2).
The first stage of the filter element is a water coalesor.
The coalesor element combines small droplets of water
into larger drops. The water collects in the bottom of the
filter element for draining. The fuel then passes through
the second stage of the filter element which is a paper
filter.
The filter acts as a water detector by turning on the
“ WATER IN FUEL” light on the instrum ent panel. The
probe of the water detector will touch water when 65 ml.
(2.2 fluid ounces) of water has collected in the filter. This
completes a circuit through the water to the cover assem
bly which turns on the “ WATER IN FUEL” light.
NOTICE: If the “ WATER IN FUEL” light comes
on and the fuel system is not purged of water,
fuel injection system damage may result.
When the light comes on, the filter should be drained
as soon as practical, but within one to two hours of engine
operation.
A water drain is located in the bottom of the fuel filter
assembly. By opening the water drain valve, water that
has collected in the bottom of the filter element can be
drained.
A fuel heater is located in the fuel filter assembly to
help prevent fuel waxing. The heater therm ostat turns the
heater on at about 0°C (32°F) and off at about 30°C
(80°F). The heater uses 7 to 13 amps depending on fuel
temperature.
DRAINING THE FUEL FILTER
1. Turn off the engine and apply the parking brake.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap to release any pressure or
vacuum in the fuel tank.
3. Place a suitable container under the filter drain
hose.

CAUTION: The water/diesel fuel mixture is
flammable, and could be hot. To help avoid
personal injury and/or property damage, do not
touch the fuel coming from the drain hose, and
do not expose the fuel to open flames or
sparks.
Be sure you do not overfill the container.
Heat (such as from the engine) can cause the
fuel to expand. If the container is too full, fuel
could be forced out of the container. This could
lead to a fire and the risk of personal injury
and/or vehicle damage.
4. Open the drain valve (7) two to three turns (figure 2).
5. Start the engine and allow it to idle for one to two

DIESEL FUEL FILTER ASSEMBLY
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT
All component parts of the fuel filter assembly are
serviceable. These components include the filter adapter,
restriction switch, fuel heater, and the water sensor (figure
Always replace any damaged or worn O-rings, gaskets,
or seals. After replacing components, bleed air from the
filter to save cranking time. Start the engine and check for
leaks after replacing components.
2).
FUEL PUMP
All carbureted and diesel engines use a m echanical
fuel pump located on the front right side of the engine.
The pump is a diaphragm type pump and is actuated by a
rocker arm through a link and pull rod.
Some engines have a special fuel pump that has a me
tering outlet for a vapor return system. Any vapor that
form s is returned to the fuel tank along with hot fuel. This
reduces the chance of vapor lock because cool fuel from
the tank is always circulated through the fuel pump.
The fuel pump rocker arm is moved back and forth by a
rod which rides on an eccentric on the engine camshaft.
The rocker arm pulls down on the pump diaphragm
against spring pressure. This causes a vacuum in the
pump cham ber which draws fuel from the tank through
the inlet valve. The cam shaft rotates and releases pres
sure on the rocker arm. This allows the spring to act on
the diaphragm and force fuel out of the pump cham ber
through the outlet valve and into the fuel line to the carbu
retor or diesel fuel injection pump.
When the carburetor float rises and closes the needle
valve, fuel cannot leave the pum p chamber. The spring is
held compressed by the fuel pressure in the pump cham
ber. The rocker arm idles on the cam eccentric and only
moves enough to maintain pressure on the spring. A con
stant pressure is maintained on the fuel in the line to the
carburetor. This pressure is proportional to the force of the
spring.
W hen the immediate fuel needs of the diesel engine
are satisfied, pressure builds in the fuel line and pump
chamber. This pressure forces the diaphragm /piston to
make shorter and shorter strokes, until more fuel is
needed in the engine.

DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
CONTAMINATION
Fungi and other m icro-organism s can survive and
m ultiply in diesel fuel if water is present. The fungi can be
present in any part of the fuel handling system. These
fungi grow into long strings and will form into large
globules. The growths appear slim y and are usually black,
green, or brown. The fungi may grow anywhere in the fuel
but are most plentiful where diesel fuel and water meet.
As the fuel is agitated (when service station tanks are
being filled), fungi are distributed throughout the tank and
may be pumped into a vehicle.
Fungi use the fuel as their main energy supply and
need only trace amounts of water and minerals. As they
grow and multiply, they change fuel into water, sludge,
acids, and products of metabolism. The most common
symptom is fuel filter plugging; however, various metal
components (fuel tank, lines, and injection pump) can
corrode.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, do not
come into physical contact with biocides.
If fungi have caused fuel system problems, use a diesel
fuel biocide to sterilize the fuel system. Do not exceed the
dosage recommended on the label. Discontinue the use
of a biocide when towing a trailer. It is permissible to have
biocide in the fuel when starting to tow, but do not add any
biocide while towing.
Steam cleaning may be necessary if most of the fungus
growth cannot be removed with biocides.

Specifications. Hoses and pipes not m eeting
GM Specification could cause early failure or
failure to m eet emission standards.
When replacing fuel feed and return pipes, always use
welded steel tubing meeting GM Specification 124 M or its
equivalent. The replacement pipe must have the same
type fittings as the original pipes to ensure integrity of the
connection.
— Never replace fuel pipe with copper or aluminum
tubing.
— Check and replace any damaged O-rings or washers.
— Fuel pipes should be inspected occasionally for leaks,
dents, or kinks.
— Follow the same routing as the original pipe.
— Pipes must be properly secured to the frame to prevent
chafing. A minimum clearance of 6 mm (1/4-inch) must
be maintained to prevent contact and chafing.

Diesel engine vehicles have a check valve that will
permit fuel to pass if the tank filter becomes plugged with
paraffin during cold weather operation.
When this plugging occurs, the last four gallons of fuel
will not be used due to the location of the check valve.
Therefore it is important to keep the fuel tank above the
1/4 mark at temperatures below -6°C (-20°F) when using
number two diesel fuel.

All new GM vehicles are certified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as conform ing to the require
ments of the regulations for the control of air pollution from new motor vehicles. This certification is contingent on certain
adjustments being set to factory standards. In most cases, these adjustment points either have been permanently sealed
and/or made in accessible to prevent indiscrim inate or routine adjustment in the field. For this reason the factory proce
dure for temporarily removing plugs, cap, etc., for purpsoes of servicing the product, must be strictly followed and,
wherever practicable, returned to the original intent of the design. For vehicles sold in Canada and equipped with non
closed loop engines, also refer to the appropriate Canadian service manual supplement.

CARBURETOR MODEL 1MEF
Figure 1—1 MEF Carburetor
DESCRIPTION
Model 1MEF carburetors are single bore downdraft
carburetors using a triple venturi along with a discharge
tube nozzle (figure 1 ).
A power valve piston assem bly and m etering rod
control the fuel flow in the main metering and power
systems of the carburetor. The tapered metering rod is

Figure 2—Carburetor Identification
attached to the power piston and moves in a fixed
metering jet to provide the fuel flow for varying engine
demands. On 1MEF carburetors, a factory set metering
rod adjusting screw controls the position of the metering
rod in the jet. This screw is located in the air horn and
should not be turned as this could result in engine
damage or increased exhaust emissions.
Model 1MEF incorporates an integral automatic choke
system which uses an electrically heated choke coil. The
vacuum diaphragm unit is mounted externally on the air
horn and connects to the therm ostatic coil lever through a
connecting link.
The electric choke coil is contained in a choke housing,
which is mounted on a bracket attached to the float bowl.
Special rivets are installed to retain the factory setting of
the choke coil and provide a non-adjustable design.
An integral, pleated-paper fuel inlet filter is mounted in
the fuel bowl behind the fuel inlet nut to give maximum
filtration of incoming fuel. A check valve is used in the
filter inlet to prevent fuel draining from the fuel system
after rollover.
To improve hot engine starting and meet evaporative
emission requirements, fuel vapors from the carburetor
bowl are vented to a vapor canister on some models. A
tube (location F) is added to the air horn to connect the air
horn and canister.
Other features of the carburetors include an aluminum
throttle body for decreased weight and improved heat
distribution. A thick throttle body to bowl insulator gasket
keeps excessive engine heat from the float bowl.
All 1 MEF models have seals added in the float bowl to
seal the power piston drive rod and the pum p lever. This
prevents fuel vapors from escaping to atmosphere. During
unit repair, the seals and retainer, where used, must be
removed prior to immersion of the float bowl in carburetor
cleaner.
The carburetor model identification is stamped on a
vertical portion of the foat bowl, adjacent to the fuel inlet
nut (figure 2 ).
If replacing the float bowl, follow the m anufacturer’s
instructions contained in the service package so that the
identification number can be transferred to the new float
bowl.
An electrically operated idle stop solenoid and dual
throttle return springs are used on all carburetors.
The throttle lever has a spun-in plastic bushing which is
used as a bearing surface. The bushing will withstand
normal cleaning time in an approved cold immersion type
carburetor cleaner. The bushing is not serviced separately
and should not be removed from the carburetor throttle
lever.
Six basic systems of operation are used (figures 3
through 8 ).
• Float
• Power
• Idle
• Pump
• Main Metering
• Choke

metering rods control the air/fuel metering in the prim ary
bores of the carburetor. Tapered m etering rods are
attached to the power valve piston assembly, and move in
fixed metering jets, to provide the fuel flow for varying
engine demands. A factory-set adjustable part throttle
screw, used on all models, precisely positions the tapered
portion of the metering rods in the jets. (On M4MEF
m odels, the factory-set rich stop adjusting bushing
precisely positions the enrichm ent portion of the metering
rods in the jets.)
Figure 21—Carburetor Identification
DESCRIPTION
Models M4ME and M4MEF are four barrel, two stage
carburetors with three major assemblies: the air horn,
flo a t bowl, and th ro ttle body. T hey have six basic
operating systems (figures 21 through 31).
• Float
• Power
• Idle
• Pump
• Main Metering
• Choke
The first “ M” indicates this carburetor is of a Modified
prim ary metering “ open loop” design.
The “ 4M ” is the model designation, indicating it is a
four barrel carburetor. The remaining letters designate
specific features.
E — Has an electric choke.
F — has an adjustable wide open throttle mixture
control.
CARBURETOR IDENTIFICATION (Figure 21)
The ca rb uretor id e n tific a tio n n um ber is stam ped
vertically on the float bowl near the secondary throttle
lever. Refer to this num ber before servicing the carburetor.
If replacing the float bowl assembly, follow instructions in
Air valves and tapered metering rods control the air/fuel
mixture in the secondary bores during increased engine
air flow at wide open throttle. On M4MEF models, the
factory-set secondary well air bleed adjusting screw
provides additional control of the air/fuel mixture during
wide open throttle.
PUMP SYSTEMS
The pump system on all models uses a throttle actuated
pump plunger, operating in the pump well. The pump
provides extra fuel during quick throttle openings.
CHOKE SYSTEMS
A electrically heated choke coil provides the choke
valve closing force for cold startup and for correct opening
tim ing during warmup. A vacuum break assembly(s)
controls initial choke valve opening at startup to provide
sufficient air flow to the engine. An unloader tang on the
throttle lever forces the choke valve open to purge a
flooded engine when the accelerator is pressed to the
floor. The fast idle cam, following choke valve movement,
acts as a graduated throttle stop to provide increased idle
speed during warmup.

5. If the plunger does not move in and out as the wire
is disconnected and connected, check voltage
across the feed wire.
• If the voltage is 12 to 15 volts, replace the
solenoid.
• If the voltage is low, locate the cause of the
open circuit in the solenoid feed wire; repair as
necessary.
CHECKING THROTTLE KICKER
Tool Required:
J-23738-A, Hand Held Vacuum Pump
1. Hold the throttle half way open to allow the plunger
to extend fully.
2. Apply - 6 8 (20" Hg) vaucum to the throttle kicker
(figure 34).
• Apply finger pressure to the plunger to see if it
has extended fully. If not, replace the throttle
kicker.
• Observe the vacuum gage. Vacuum should
hold for at least twenty seconds. If not, replace
the throttle kicker.
3. Release the vacuum to the throttle kicker.
• If the plunger does not retract to its starting
position, replace kicker.
• The filter must include an inlet check valve to
m e e t M o to r V e h ic le S a fe ty S ta n d a rd s
(M.V.S.S.) for roll-over.

DESCRIPTION
The 6.2 L diesel engine fuel system is composed of:
• Fuel tank
• Mechanical fuel pump
• Fuel filter with water sensor and heater
• Fuel filter restriction switch
• Injection distributor pump
• High pressure lines
• Fuel injection nozzles
Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank by the mechanical
pump which is located on the right side of the engine. The
pump is driven by an eccentric lobe on the camshaft
through a push rod. Fuel is then pumped through the filter
/ water spearator. The filter / water separator is located on
the engine side of the cowl (R-V models) or under the rear
of the air cleaner (G-P models). The fuel is then trans
ferred to the injection pump.
The injection pump is mounted on top of the engine
under the intake manifold. The pump is driven by the
camshaft through two gears, one attached to the front of
the camshaft and the other attached to the end of the
injection pump shaft. These gears are the same size and
have the same number of teeth; therefore, the injection
pump shaft turns at the same speed as the camshaft. The
pump turns in the opposite direction of the camshaft and
crankshaft.
The injection pump is a high pressure rotary type pump
that meters, pressurizes, and distributes fuel to the eight
injector nozzles. The eight high pressure lines are all the
same length although their shape may be different. This
prevents tim ing differences between cylinders. Injection
lines should not be bent to ease removal.

Insert J-36142 between the wide open stop pin and the
wide open stop screw on the throttle lever.
Rotate the throttle lever against the tool. There should
be no continuity (infinite resistance).
11. Release the throttle lever and remove the switch gage
tool.
12. Rotate the throttle lever to wide open throttle (the lever
stop screw touching the pump stop pin).
13. Check the switch for continuity. The switch must have
continuity (1 to 0 ohms) before the throttle reaches the
wide open throttle position. If the switch does not meet
these specifications, reset the assembly by returning to
step 1 and repeating the entire procedure.
HOUSING PRESSURE
COLD ADVANCE
The Housing Pressure Cold Advance feature advances
the injection tim in g about fo u r degrees d urin g cold
operation. This provides better cold starts, improved cold
idle, and emission control.
The circuit is actuated by a coolant temperature switch
on the rear of the right cylinder head. The switch is
calibrated to open the circuit at 35°C (95°F). Below the
s w itc h in g p oint, tim in g is adva nce d by decrea sing
housing pressure from 68.95 kPa (10 psi) to zero. Above
the switching point, the housing pressure is returned to
68.95 kPa (10 psi). The fast idle solenoid is energized by
the same switch.

INJECTION NOZZLE TESTS
Nozzle testing is comprised of the following checks:
• Nozzle opening pressure
• Leakage
• Chatter
• Spray pattern
Each test should be considered independent of the
others (for example, when checking opening pressure, do
not check for leakage).
If all of the above tests are satisfied, the nozzle holder
assembly can be re-used. If any one of the tests is not
satisfied, the complete nozzle holder assem bly must be
replaced. The nozzle holder will then be checked and
repaired at a centralized location.
• Test Lines - 6 x 2 x 400 mm (1.5 mm bore).
• Test Fluid - per ISO 4113 (Example: Shell V 1399,
Viscosity 1487C or equivalent).
• Kinetic Viscosity at 40° - per ISO 3104: 2,45 - 2.75 mm
2/second.
• Test oil temperature during test: 20 - 25°C (6 8 °F 77°F).
DIESEL FUEL INJECTION 6C2-11
• Refer to the equipment manufacturers instructions for
exact test procedures.
1. Connect the nozzle holder assembly to the test line.
2. Place clear plastic tubes on overflow connections to
prevent leakoff from being confused with actual leak.
3. Close the shutoff valve to the pressure gage.
CAUTION: When testing nozzles, do not place
your hands or arms near the tip of the nozzle.
The high pressure atomized fuel spray from a
nozzle has sufficient penetrating power to
puncture flesh and destroy tissue and may
result in blood poisoning. The nozzle tip should
always be enclosed in a receptacle, preferably
transparent, to contain the spray.
4. Fill and flush the nozzle holder assembly with test oil
by activating the lever briskly and repeatedly. This will
apply test oil to all functionally important areas of the
nozzle and purge it of air.
OPENING PRESSURE TEST
1. O pen
the s h u to ff valve at the p re ssure gage
one-quarter turn.
CAUTION: When testing nozzles, do not place
your hands or arms near the top of the nozzle.
The high pressure atomized fuel spray from a
nozzle has sufficient penetrating power to
puncture flesh and destroy tissue and may
result in blood poisoning. The nozzle tip should
always be enclosed in a receptacle preferably
transparent, to contain the spray.
2. Depress the tester lever slowly. Note at what pressure
the needle of the pressure gage stopped. The
maximum observed pressure is the opening pressure.
• Some nozzles may pop while other nozzles may
drip down (this is not leakage).
3. The opening pressure should not fall below the lower
limit of 105 bar (1500 psi) on used nozzles.
4. Replace nozzles which fall below the lower limit.
LEAKAGE TEST
1. Further open the shutoff valve at the pressure gage V2
to 1 V2 turns).
2. Blow-dry the nozzle tip.
CAUTION: When testing nozzles, do not place
your hands or arms near the top of the nozzle.
The high pressure atomized fuel spray from a
nozzle has sufficient penetrating power to
puncture flesh and destroy tissue and may
result in blood poisoning. The nozzle tip should
always be enclosed in a receptacle preferably
transparent, to contain the spray.
3. Depress the lever of the manual test stand slowly until
the gage reads a pressure of 95 bar (1400 psi).
Observe the nozzle tip. A drop may form on the end of
the nozzle but should not drop off within a period of 10
seconds.
4. Replace the nozzle assembly if a drop falls during the
10 seconds.
CHATTER TEST
When testing for chatter, it should be noted that the
sound (chatter) for new and used nozzles may vary. This
is due to carbonized fuel deposits on the pintle and
nozzle tip of used nozzles. With some used nozzles,
chatter is difficult to detect during slow actuation of the
hand lever.
Some nozzles may chatter louder than others. As long
as there is chatter, the nozzle is acceptable.
1. Close the shutoff lever at the pressure gage.
CAUTION: When testing nozzles, do not place
your hands or arms near the top of the nozzle.
The high pressure atomized fuel spray from a
nozzle has su fficien t penetrating power to
puncture flesh and destroy tissue and may
result in blood poisoning. The nozzle tip should
always be enclosed in a receptacle preferably
transparent, to contain the spray.
2. Depress the lever of the test stand slowly and note
whether chatter noise can be heard.
3. If no chattter is heard, move the lever faster until it
chatters. At fast lever movement, the nozzle may make
a “ hissing” or “ squealing” sound rather than the
normal chatter. This is acceptable.
4. These sounds indicate that the nozzle needle moves
freely and that the nozzle seat, guide, and pintle are
OK.
5. Replace nozzles that do not chatter.
SPRAY PATTERN
This nozzle features a longer nozzle overlap, greater
p in tle to b o d y c le a ra n c e , g re a te r n e e d le to b o d y
clearance, and an internal wave washer between the
nozzle nut and the nozzle. These features make objective
spray pattern testing difficult.
A pop tester will not deliver fuel fast enough for proper
spray pattern analysis. Based on this, this type of nozzle
should not be rejected for spray pattern.

Engine electrical system diagnosis includes the battery,
charging system (generator and related wiring), cranking
system (starter and related wiring), ignition system (dis
tributor, spark plugs and wiring) and the glow plug system
(diesel electrical).
Light duty emission vehicles are equipped with an elec
tronic computer comm and control system. These vehicles
have a “ Check Engine” or “ Service Engine Soon” lamp
on the instrum ent panel. Refer to the Fuel and Emissions
Service Manual for a detailed description of the lam p’s
operation and use as a diagnostic indicator.
Some vehicles sold in Canada may have variations in
electrical components. Refer to the appropriate Canadian
Service Manual Supplement.
BA T T ER Y
gasses that are produced in the battery to escape. The
special chem ical composition inside the battery reduces
gassing to a very small am ount at normal charging
voltages. Besides reducing gassing, the special chem istry
greatly reduces the possibility of overcharge damage.
Keep the battery in an upright position to prevent
electrolyte leakage. Tipping the battery beyond a 45
degree angle in any direction can allow a small amount of
electrolyte to leak out the vent hole.
Do not exceed this 45 degree angle when carrying or
installing the battery.
Evidence of electrolyte leakage does not always mean
the battery is defective.

DESCRIPTION
The battery has three m ajor functions in the electrical
system: first, it provides a source of energy for cranking
the engine; second, it acts as a voltage stabilizer for the
electrical system; and third, it can, for a limited time,
provide energy when the electrical load used exceeds the
output of the generator.
The sealed battery as shown in figure 1 is standard.
Water never needs to be added. There are no filler caps in
the cover. The battery is sealed, except for small vent
holes in the cover. The vents allow what small amount of
Batteries are rated according to their reserve capacity
in minutes and their cold cranking power in amperes.
Both methods involve m easuring the battery term inal
voltage after a specified tim e period and discharge
current.
The “ reserve capacity” is defined as the maximum
length of tim e it is possible to travel at night with m inimum
electrical load and no generator output. Expressed in
minutes, it is the tim e required for a fully charged 12 -volt
battery, at a te m p e ra tu re of 2 7 ° C (8 0 ° F), being
discharged at a constant current of 25 amperes, to reach
a term inal voltage of 10.5 volts.
The “ cold cranking ampere” (CCA) test measures the
amperage delivered by the battery at -1 8 ° C (0° F) for 30
seconds.
Refer to “ Specifications” at the end of this section for
battery ratings.

BUILT-IN HYDROMETER
T he s e a le d b a tte ry has a s p e c ia l te m p e ra tu re
compensated hydrometer built into the cover to show at a
glance the battery’s state-of-charge. The hydrometer has
a green ball within a cage which is attached to a clear
plastic rod. The green ball will float at a predetermined
specific gravity of the electrolyte. When the green ball
floats, it rises within the cage and positions itself under
the rod. Visually a green dot then shows in the center of
the h ydrom eter (figure 2 ). The b uilt-in h ydrom eter
provides a guide for battery testing and charging.
When looking at the hydrometer, make sure that the
battery has a clean top. A lamp may be needed in some
poorly-lit areas.
1. GREEN DOT VISIBLE: The state of charge is 65
percent or more of the full charge.
2. DARK; GREEN DOT NOT VISIBLE: The state of
charge is below 65 percent. Charge the battery until
the green dot appears. (Shake the battery slightly to
make the green dot appear after charging).
3. CLEAR OR LIGHT YELLOW: The fluid level has
dropped below the bottom of the hydrometer. This
can be caused by a broken case, tipping of the
If testing shows the battery to be in good condition but
the battery doesn’t perform satisfactorily, check for the
following:
1 . Vehicle accessories left on overnight.
2. Extended slow-speed driving with many accessories
turned on.
3. The v e h ic le e le c tric a l load is m ore th a n the
generator output, particularly with the addition of
aftermarket equipment.
4. Problems in the charging system such as shorts,
slipping fan belt, or worn generator or regulator
parts.
5. Loose or poor battery cable-to-post connections,
previous improper charging of a rundown battery, or
loose hold-downs.
6 . High-resistance connections in the cranking system.
7. Electronic devices draining the battery when the
v e h ic le is p a rke d fo r a long p e rio d of tim e .
Disconnect the negative cable if the vehicle will be
stored for more than 30 days.
Electrolyte Freezing
The freezing point of electrolyte depends on its specific
gravity. Since freezing may ruin a battery, protect it
against freezing by keeping it in a charged condition.
Carrier And Hold-Down
The carrier and hold-down should be clean and free
from corrosion before battery installation.
The carrier should be in a sound mechanical condition
so that it will support the battery securely and keep it
level. Make certain there are no foreign objects in the
carrier before installation.
To prevent the battery from shaking in its carrier, tighten
the hold-down bolts. However, do not tighten the bolts to
where the battery case or cover is placed under a severe
strain.

Side Terminal Batteries:
3. If adapters are not available, use a 3/s-inch 16 UNC
bolt and stainless steel nut (figure 4). Finger tighten.
Contact must be made through the lead pads at the
face of the terminals, not through the threads of the
bolt.
Top Terminal Batteries:
4. Attach term inal hex nuts, AC Delco # 7802, or
equivalent (figure 5).
5. Attach the alligator clam ps of the tester or charger
between the term inal nuts and the load pads of the
term inal studs (figure 5).
• If the te ste r c la m p s ca n n o t be atta che d
between the nuts and the lead pads of the
terminals, the ampere load for the load test
may change. Refer to “ Specifications” at the
end of this section.
6 . Install a voltmeter and battery load tester to the
adapters.
LOAD TEST
If the battery is in the vehicle, make sure the engine
control switch is off. If there is more than one battery,
check each separately.
1 . Disconnect the battery cables from the terminals.
2 . Install adapter AC-Delco ST 1201 or equivalent
(figure 3).
7. Remove the surface charge from recently charged
batteries by applying a 300-ampere load across the
adapters for 15 seconds.
8 . Do not remove the surface charge from batteries
which have been in storage.
9. Turn the load off and wait 15 seconds for the battery
to recover.

10. Apply the specified load selected from the chart in
“ Specifications” . Observe the battery voltage after
15 seconds with the load connected, then turn off
the load.
11. If the battery voltage does not drop below the
minimum voltage as shown in the “ Voltage and
Temperature Chart” following, the battery is good
and should be returned to service. (The battery
temperature must be estimated by feel and by the
temperature the battery has been exposed to for the
preceeding few hours.) If the battery voltage drops
below the m inim um voltage listed, replace the

BATTERY CHARGING
PROCEDURES
The following basic rules apply to any sealed battery
charging situation:
1. Do not charge a battery if the hydrometer is clear or
light yellow— replace the battery.
2. C harge rates betw een 3 and 50 am peres are
satisfactory as long as spewing of electrolyte does
not occur or the battery does not feel over 52° C,
(125° F). If spewing occurs or temperature exceeds
5 2° C (125° F), the charging rate must be reduced
or temporarily halted to permit cooling.
Estimate battery temperature by touching or feeling
the battery case.
3. The battery is sufficiently charged when the green
dot in the built-in hydrometer is visible. No further
charging is required. Shake or tilt the batter at
h o u rly in te rv a ls d u rin g c h a rg in g to m ix th e
electrolyte and see if the green dot appears.
4. Battery charging consists of a charge current in
amperes for a period of time in hours. Thus a
25-ampere charging rate for 2 hours would be 50
ampere-hour charge to the battery. In most cases,
batteries whose load test values are less than 2 0 0
amperes will have the green dot visible after at least
a 50 ampere-hour charge. Most batteries whose
load test values are greater than 2 0 0 amperes will
have the green dot visible after at least a 75
ampere-hour charge. In the event that the green dot

ampere-hours. If the green dot still does not appear,
replace the battery.
5. The time required for a charge will vary according
to:
a. Size of battery — Example: A discharged
large heavy-duty battery requires more than
twice the recharging as a discharged small
passenger car battery.
b. Temperature — Example: A longer time will be
needed to charge any battery at -1 8 ° C (0° F)
than at 27° C (80° F). When a fast charger is
connected to a cold battery, the cu rre n t
accepted by the battery will be very low at first;
then, as the battery warms, it will accept a
higher rate.
c. State-of-charge — Example: A discharged
battery requires more than twice as much
c h a rg e as a o n e -h a lf-c h a rg e d b a tte ry .
Because the electrolyte is nearly pure water
and therefore a poor conductor, the current
accepted is low at first. Later, as the charging
current causes the electrolyte acid content to
increase, the charging current will likewise
increase.
d. C harger C apacity — Exam ple: A charger
which can supply only 5 amperes will require a
much longer period of charging than a charger
that can supply 30 amperes or more.

Figure 7—12-SI Series 100 Generator
Figure 8—17-SI Series 100 Generator
DESCRIPTION
The generator rotor bearings contain enough grease to
eliminate the need for periodic lubrication. Two. brushes
carry current through the two slip rings to the field coil
mounted on the rotor, and under normal conditions will
provide long periods of attention-free service.
The charging system consists of the battery, the
g en erator, th e regulator, and th e ch a rg in g system
indicator lamp circuitry. The generator supplies electrical
power for charging the battery and operating accessories.
Two types of generators are used on these vehicles, the
SI generator with an external 2 -terminal connector on the
re g ula tor, and the CS g e n e ra to r w ith an e x te rn a l
4-terminal connector on the regulator. The diagnostic
tests for these generators are different.
12-SI 100 AND 17-SI 100 GENERATORS
(Figures 7, 8 and 9)
These generators are of the “ Systems Integral” series
(generator with built-in regulator).
The solid state regulator components are enclosed into
a solid mold, and this unit, along with the brush holder
assembly, is attached to the slip ring end frame. The
regulator voltage setting cannot be adjusted.
The stator w indings are assembled on the inside of a
laminated core that forms part of the generator frame.
T he 12-SI has a “ Y ” s ta to r and the 17-SI has a
delta-wound stator. A rectifier bridge connected to the
stator w indings contains six diodes, and electrically
changes the stator AC voltages to a DC voltage which
appears at the generator output (BAT) terminal. Generator
field current is supplied thorugh a diode trio which also is
c o n n e c te d to th e s ta to r w in d in g s . A c a p a c ito r or
condenser, m ounted in the end frame, protects the
rectifier bridge and diode trio from high voltages, and
suppresses radio noise.
No periodic adjustments or maintenance of any kind is
required on the entire generator assembly.
6D-8 ENGINE ELECTRICAL
to the field coil, then through the wire at term inal number
1 to the charge indicator lamp. The lamp goes out since
approximately the same voltage is present at both sides
of the lamp. On vehicles with gages a voltmeter indicates
voltage.
CS-130 GENERATORS (Figures 10, 11 and 12)
CIRCUIT OPERATION
When the engine control switch is turned to “ Run” or
“ S tart” , the switch closes and current from the battery
flows through the charging system indicator lamp, the
number 1 term inal, the regulator, ground, and back to the
battery. Current also flows through the generator field coil
and back to the battery. The charge indicator lamp then
turns on.
W ith the generator o perating, direct cu rren t (DC)
voltage is applied to the battery through the “ BAT”
terminal. Some of the output flows through the diode trio

F-02516
These generators feature a high ampere output per
pound of weight. The CS stands for charging system and
130 is the measurement in m illim eters of the outside
diameter of the stator laminations.
This generator with integral regulator does not have a
diode trio. The delta stator, rectifier bridge, and rotor with
slip rings and brushes are electrically sim ilar to other
generators. A conventional fan and pulley are used, and
an internal fan cools the slip rings, end frame, rectifier
bridge and regulator.
The charge indicator lights when the engine control
switch is closed, and goes out when the engine is
running. If the charge indicator is on with the engine
running, a charging system problem is indicated. The
indicator will glow at full brilliance, not half lit, if any
charging problem occurs or if the system voltage is too
high or too low.
The regulator voltage setting varies with temperature,
and limits system voltage by controlling rotor field current.
It sw itches rotor field current on and off at a fixed
frequency of about 400 cycles per second. By varying the
on-off time, correct average field current for proper system
voltage control is obtained. At high speeds, the on-time
may be 10 percent and the off-time 90 percent. At low
speeds, with high electrical loads, on-off tim e may be 90
percent and 10 percent respectively.
The regulator has four terminals, “ P,” “ L,” “ I,” and “ S”
(figure 12). The use of the “ P,” “ L ,” and “ S” term inals is
optional. The “ P” term inal is connected to the stator, and
may be wired to a tachometer or other device. The “ S”
term inal may be wired to the battery to sense voltage to
be controlled. The “ L” and “ I” term inals serve to turn on
the regulator and allow field current to flow when the
switch is closed. The “ I” term inal may be connected
directly to the switch, or through a resistor. Both are
illustrated. The “ I” circuit may be used with or w ithout the
“ L” circuit; that is, with or w ithout anything connected to
the “ L” circuit. Refer to the Light Duty Truck W iring
Diagrams for specific application.
The generator is not serviceable, and no periodic
maintenance is required.

DIAGNOSIS OF CHARGING SYSTEM
NOISY GENERATOR
Noise from a generator may be caused by a loose drive
pulley, loose mounting bolts, worn or dirty bearings, worn
diode or stator. If the pulley and mounting bolts are snug
and the noise continues, remove the generator for
inspection and repair. Refer to “ Generator Replacem ent”
later in this section.
ELECTRICAL TESTS
Before performing the diagnosis procedures on the
vehicle, be certain that the system wiring is good and the
generator belt is not slipping. Also, the battery must be
fully charged for a valid test of the charging system.

e le c tr ic a l s y s te m , o b s e rv e the fo llo w in g
precautions:
• Do not polarize the generator.
• Do not short across or ground any o f the
terminals in the charging circuit except as
specifically instructed herein.
• NEVER o p era te the g en e rato r with the
output terminal open-circuited.
• Make sure the generator and battery have
the same ground polarity.
• When c on nectin g a charger or booster
battery to the vehicle battery, con nect

LAMP OPERATION
Check the indicator lamp for normal operation in the
“ C ha rg ing System D ia g n o s is ,” (figure 13). If lam p
operation is normal, proceed to “ Undercharged Battery” .
UNDERCHARGED BATTERY
Slow cranking or a dark battery hydrometer can be
caused by one or more of the following conditions even
though the indicator lamp may be operating normally. The
following procedures also apply to vehicles equipped with
a voltmeter.
1 . Check that the
undercharged condition has not
been caused by accessories having been left on for
extended periods.
2. Check the drive belt for proper tension. Refer to
E N G IN E C O O L IN G
(SEC . 6 B) fo r b e lt
specifications.
3. If you suspenct the battery is bad, do a load test.
Refer to “ Battery” earlier in this section.
4. Inspect the wiring for cracks or breaks. Check all
c irc u it co nn ectio ns, ca ble clam ps and b attery
term inals for tightness and cleanliness.
5. With the engine control switch on and all wiring
harness leads connected, use a voltmeter for the
following checks:

• Should read 12 volts.
A zero reading on any of the above indicates an open
between the voltmeter connection and the battery. If
checks 1 through 5 are normal perform the generator
output test.
OVERCHARGED BATTERY
If the battery feels hot, is spewing electrolyte, or lamps
seem too b rig h t w hen tu rn e d on, an o v e rch a rg e d
condition may exist.
To check the voltage, install a voltmeter across the
battery. Run the engine at m oderate speed with all
accessories off. If the voltage reads 15.5 or more, remove
the generator for repair.
GENERATOR OUTPUT TEST (Figure 14)
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Connect an ammeter in the circuit at the battery
terminal of the generator.
3. Reconnect battery ground cable.
4. Turn on the radio, w indshield wipers, headlamps
(high beam) and blower motor high speed.
5. Connect a carbon pile across the battery.
6 . Run the engine at moderate speed (about 2,000
rpm) and adjust the carbon pile to obtain maximum
current output.
7. If the ampere output is within 10 amperes of the
rated ouput as stamped on the generator frame, the
generator is probably all right.
8 . If the vehicle is equipped with a charging system
indicator lamp, and the lamp remains on while the
engine runs, and ampere output is normal, remove
the generator for repair. Check the diode trio and
rectifier bridge.
9. If the ampere output is not within 10 percent of the
rated ouput in amperes, see if the test hole is
accessible (figure 15). If it is not accessible go to
step 14.
10. Ground the field winding by inserting a screwdriver
into the test hole.

TRANSISTORIZED VOLTAGE
REGULATOR TEST
Connect a fast charger and a voltmeter to the battery as
shown in figure 16. With the engine control switch on
“ run” and the engine off, slowly increase the charge rate.
The charging system indicator lamp (on vehicles without
gages) will dim at the voltage regulator setting. The
setting should be at a minimum of 13.5 volts and a
maximum of 16.0 volts.
This test works if the rotor circuit is good, even if the
stator, rectifier bridge or diode trio is bad.
CS-130 CHARGING SYSTEM
CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS
Trouble in the charging system will show up as one or
more of the following conditions:
• Abnormal indicator lamp operation.
• An undercharged battery as evidenced by slow
cranking or dark hydrometer.
• An overcharged battery as evidenced by excessive
spewing of electrolyte from the vents.
ENGINE ELECTRICAL 6D-13
A basic wiring diagram for the charging system is
shown in fig ure 12. W hen the system is operating
normally, the indicator lamp (on vehicles so equipped) will
come on when the engine control switch is turned on and
go out when the engine starts. If the lamp operates
abnormally, or if an undercharged or overcharged battery
condition occurs, the following procedure may be used to
d ia gn ose the c h a rg in g system . R em em ber th a t an
undercharged battery is often caused by accessories
being left on overnight, or by a switch stuck closed which
allows a lamp, such as a trunk or glove box lamp, to stay
on.
This generator does not have a test hole.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR CS-130
1. Check belt for wear and tension. Refer to ENGINE
COOLING (SEC. 6 B) for belt tension. Check wiring.
2. Go to Step 5 for vehicles without a charge indicator
lamp.
3. With the engine control switch on and the engine
stopped, the lamp should be on. If not, detach the
wiring harness at the generator and ground the “ L”
terminal lead.
• If the lamp lights, replace the generator.

• If the lamp does not light, locate the open
circuit between the grounding lead and the
engine control switch. The lamp may be open.
4. W ith the switch on, and the engine running at
moderate speed, the lamp should be off. If not,
detach the wiring harness at the generator.
• If the lamp goes out, replace the generator.
• If the lamp stays on, check for a grounded “ L”
term inal wire in the harness.
5. If the battery is undercharged or overcharged:
• Detach the wiring harness connector from the
generator.
• With the switch on the engine not running,
connect a voltmeter from ground to the “ L”
terminal in the wiring harness, and to the “ I”
term inal, if used. The wiring harness may
connect to either “ I” or to both.
• A zero reading ind icate s an open c irc u it

to 500 ohm resistor between the battery and the “ L”
terminal.
2. Slowly increase generator speed and observe the
voltage.
3. If the voltage is uncontrolled and increases above
16 volts, the rotor field is shorted, the regulator is not
working properly, or both. A shorted rotor field coil
can cause problems in the regulator.
4. If the voltage is below 16 volts, increase speed and
adjust the carbon pile to obtain maximum amperage
output. Maintain the voltage above 13 volts.
5. If the output is within 15 amperes of the rated
output, the generator is good.
6 . If the output is not within 15 amperes of the rated
output, replace the generator.

DESCRIPTION
In the diesel engine, air alone is compressed in the
cylinder; then after the air has been compressed a charge
of fuel is sprayed into the cylinder and ignition occurs due
to the heat of compression. Eight glow plugs are used to
preheat the chamber as an aid to starting (figure 18).
T h e d ie s e l g lo w p lu g s y s te m c o n s is ts o f an
intergral-electronic co ntrol/g low plug relay assem bly,
6 -volt glow plugs, a glow plug inhibit temperature switch
and a “ GLOW PLUGS” lamp.
Figure 19—Glow Plug Controller
ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER/GLOW PLUG
RELAY ASSEMBLY (Figures 19 and 20)
The assembly contains the circuitry which monitors and
controls glow plug relay operation. Information is received
at pins B and C which is used by the controller to
determ ine glow plug ope ra ting requirem ents. Pin B
senses voltage at the starting motor solenoid. Pin C
senses glow plug voltage through the glow plug inhibit
switch which is wired in series with the glow plug voltage
sense lead to the glow plugs. The controller is mounted at
the rear of the left cylinder head on two 10 mm studs.
GLOW PLUG INHIBIT SWITCH
GLOW PLUGS
These are 6 -volt heaters (operated at 12 volts) that turn
on when the engine control switch is turned to the run
position prior to starting the engine. They remain pulsing
a short time after starting, then autom atically turn off.
The switch is temperature controlled and opens above
51.5° C (125° F) to prevent glow plug operation above this
temperature. It is mounted at the rear of the right cylinder
head on the P truck and G van, and in the water crossover
near the front of the engine on the RV truck.
INSTRUMENTATION
CIRCUIT OPERATION
V e h ic le s w ith th e d ie s e l e n g in e have s p e c ia l
instrum entation indicators to p erm it the operator to
properly apply the starting procedure. A “ GLOW PLUGS”
lamp on the instrument panel provides this information on
engine starting conditions.
Vehicles equipped with diesel engines have a “ WATER
IN FUEL” lamp and "LOW COOLANT” lamp. Refer to the
engine fuel and engine cooling sections for information on
these systems.
A normal functioning system operates as follows:
A. K ey on - E n g in e n o t ru n n in g a n d a t room
temperature.
1. Glow plugs ON for 4 to 6 seconds, then OFF
for about 4.5 seconds.
2. Then cycle; ON for about 1.5 seconds, OFF for
about 4.5 seconds, and continue to cycle 1.5
ON/4.5 OFF, for a total duration (including the
initial 4 to 6 seconds) of about 20 seconds.

B. If the engine is cranked during or after the above
sequence, the glow plugs will cycle ON/OFF for a
total duration of 25 seconds after the engine control
switch is returned from the crank position, whether
the engine starts or not. The engine does not have
to be running to terminate the glow plug cycling.
All the tim es shown above are approximate because
they vary with initial engine temperature. The initial ON
time and cycling ON/OFF tim es vary also with system
voltage and/or temperature. Lower temperatures cause
longer duration of cycling.

GLOW PLUG SYSTEM
If all connections are intact, but the glow plug system
does not operate as stated, do the system diagnosis
shown in figure 21. It provides a fast way to find if the glow
plug system is working properly. Use this procedure
whenever there is doubt about correct system operation.
Then refer to the diagnostic chart in figure 22 to pinpoint
the condition.
GLOW PLUG AFTERSTART
The glow plug controller provides glow plug operation
after starting a cold engine. This after-start operation is
initiated when the engine control switch is returned to
“ RUN” from the “ START” position. W hile loss of this
function may not cause a cold start com plaint, it may
result in excessive white sm oking and/or poor idle quality
after start. To check for proper operation of this circuit
proceed as follows:
1 . With the engine cold 2 7° C (80° F), turn the engine
control switch to the RUN position and let the glow
plugs cycle.
2. After 2 minutes crank the engine for 1 second. (It is
not im portant that the engine starts.) Return the
engine control switch to RUN. Glow plugs should
cycle at least once after cranking.
3. If the plugs do not turn on, disconnect the controller
connector, and c h e c k the c o n n e c to r h arne ss
terminal B with a grounded 12-volt test lamp. The
lamp should be off with the engine control switch in
RUN, and on when the engine is cranked.
4. If the lamp does not operate as just described,
repair a short or open in the engine harness purple
wire.
5. If the lamp works right, but the afterstart glow plug
feature does not, replace the controller.
NOTICE: Do not manually bypass the relay in the
glow plug controller. Do not jum p start with
more than a 12-volt system. The glow plugs
could be damaged.
GLOW PLUG ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
Check the system and its components on the vehicle.
None of the components are serviceable. When install
ing new co m p o n e n ts and m a kin g c o n n e c tio n s , be
sure that connections are tight and torque values are
used. Torque the glow plugs to 17 N m (12 ft. lbs.) when
installed.
CRANKING SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
CRANKING CIRCUIT
The basic cranking circuit consists of the battery, starter
motor, engine control switch, neutral sensing or neutral
start switch, and related electrical wiring (figure 23).
STARTER MOTOR
Two types of starter motors are used in the vehicles
covered in this manual (figures 24 and 25). Both have the
shift lever m echanism and the solenoid plunger enclosed
in the drive housing to protect them from exposure to dirt,
icing conditions and splash.
In the basic circuit (figure 23), the solenoid w indings are
energized when the switch is closed (in the “ S ta rt”
position). The resulting plunger and shift lever movement
causes the pinion to mesh with the engine flywheel ring
gear and the solenoid main contacts to close, and engine
cranking takes place. When the engine starts, pinion
overrun protects the armature from excessive speed until
the switch is opened, at which time the return spring
causes the pinion to disengage. To prevent excessive
overrun, open the engine control switch (release from the
“ S tart” position) imm ediately when the engine starts.

for repair, make the following checks.
CRANKING CIRCUIT
BATTERY
D eterm ine the c o n d itio n of the battery. R efer to
“ Battery” earlier in this section for battery diagnosis and
testing.
WIRING
Inspect the circu it w iring for dam age. Inspect all
connections to the starter motor, solenoid, engine control
switch, and battery, including all ground connections.
Clean and tighten all connections as required.
SOLENOID AND CONTROL SWITCHES
C heck all switches to determ ine th eir condition. A
vehicle equipped with an automatic transm ission has a
neutral start switch which allows the vehicle to be started
in Park or Neutral. It is located on the steering column
near the floor. A vehicle with a manual transm ission has a
neutral start switch attached to the clutch.
The P truck with a 7.4L engine has a m agnetic switch in
the cranking circuit (figure 29).
Magnetic Switch Check (Figure 30)
To operate properly, the switch requires at least 11 volts.
Connect a voltmeter across the winding. Close the engine
control switch. If the voltmeter reads less then 11 volts,
locate and repair the problem in the engine control
switch, battery, or wiring. If the voltage reads 11 volts or
above, yet the voltage does not seem to be reaching the
starter, replace the magnetic switch.

the pinion teeth and flywheel teeth are meshed. If
necessary, rotate the flywheel so that a pinion tooth
is directly in the center of two flywheel teeth and on
the centerline of the two gears (figure 34).
6 . Measure the clearance between the top of the
PINION CLEARANCE
1. Remove the lower flywheel housing cover.
2. Inspect the flywheel for signs of unusual wear such
as chipped or m issing gear teeth or the flywheel
being bent. If the flywheel needs replacing, refer to
“ Engine M echanical” earlier in this manual.
3. Start the engine and gently touch the outside
diameter of the rotating flywheel ring gear with chalk
or crayon to show the high point of tooth runout after
the engine is turned off. Turn the engine off and
rotate the flywheel so that the marked teeth are in
the area of the starter pinion gear.
4. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent
accidental cranking of the engine.
5. Insert a screwdriver in the small hole in the bottom
of the starter (shown by the arrow in figure 33) and
move the starter pinion and clutch assembly so that
pinion tooth and the bottom of the flywheel tooth
using the width of the wire gage (figure 34). Normal
clearance is 0.5 to 1.5 mm (0.02 to 0.06-inch).
7. If the clearance is less than 0.5 mm (0.02-inch) and
the starter whines after firing, shim the starter away
from the flywheel.
• Diesel engine (figure 31):
Add shims as required. Total shim stack must
not exceed 4.0 mm (0.16-inch). If starter shims
are not available, washers made of shim stock
can be used.
• Gas engines (figure 32):
Add 1.0 mm (0.04-inch) shims, one at a time, to
both long bolts between starter m ounting pads
and engine until noise problem is corrected.
Do not use more than 2 shims total.

the starter towards the flywheel.
• Diesel engine (figure 31):
Add a 1.0 mm (0.04-inch) shim between the
starter motor mounting pad and the engine. If
a starter shim is not available, a washer made
of shim stock can be used.
• Gas engines (figure 32):
Add 0.38 mm (0.015 inch) shims between the

IGNITION SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
All ignition systems include a battery, a distributor, an
engine control switch, spark plugs, and the prim ary and
secondary wiring. Information on the battery is located
earlier in this section. Refer to CAB ELECTRICAL (SEC.
8 A) for information on the engine control switch.
158
There are two different igintion systems used on these
vehicles. If the vehicle has a carbureted engine, spark is
controlled by the module inside the distributor with an
integral coil. If the vehicle engine is equipped with throttle
body injection (TBI), the ignition system includes a knock
sensor, an electronic spark control module, a computer
(ECM), and a distributor with a separate coil.
DISTRIBUTOR
The distributor with an integral coil combines all ingition
components in one unit (figures 42 and 43). The coii is in
the cap and connects through a resistance brush to the
rotor. On a d istribu to r w ith a separate coil the coil
connects to the rotor through a high tension wire (figure
44).
The d is trib u to r has an inte rn a l m agnetic pick-up
assembly which contains a permanent magnet, a pole
piece with internal teeth and a pick-up coil. When the
teeth of the tim er core, rotating inside the pole piece, line
up with the teeth of the pole piece, an induced voltage in
the pick-up coil signals the electronic module to trigger
the coil primary circuit. The prim ary current decreases
and a high voltage of up to 35,000 volts is induced in the
ignition coil secondary winding. This voltage is directed
through the rotor and secondary leads to fire the spark
plugs. The capacitor in the distributor is for radio noise
suppression.
The magnetic pick-up assembly is mounted over the
main bearing on the distributor housing. On carbureted
engines without computers, the assembly is made to
rotate by the vacuum control unit, thus providing vacuum
a dva nce . T he d is trib u to r sh a ft is m ounted on the
camshaft at the rear of the engine, and rotates at one-half
the rpm of the engine. The force of rotation moves the
advance w eights against the springs, and provides
cetrifugal advance to the tim er core.
ENGINES WITH TBI
On e ng in es w ith TBI, spark tim in g changes are
determined electronically by the ECM (computer), which
m onitors info rm a tio n from va riou s eng in e sensors,
com putes the desired spark tim ing, and signals the
distributor.
The distributor does not contain centrifugal weights,
springs, or a vacuum advance unit.
Each TBI equipped engine also has a knock sensor
mounted in the engine block and connected by a blue
wire to a spark control module (called a “ half-function
box” ) (figure 45). In response to engine knock, a signal is
sent from the sensor to the module and then to the ECM,

which computes how much to retard spark tim ing to
reduce knock. A retard command is then sent to the
distributor.
Information on TBI and the computer controlled ignition
system, system com ponents and th eir locations, and
diagnostic charts are located in the Light Duty Truck Fuel
and Emissions Service Manual.
IGNITION TIMING
Timing specifications for each engine are listed on the
V ehicle E m issions C ontrol Inform ation label on the
radiator support. Always follow Vehicle Emissions Control
Inform ation label procedures when adjusting tim ing.
When using a tim ing light, connect an adapter between
the number 1 spark plug and the num ber 1 spark plug
wire, or use an inductive type pick-up. Do not pierce the
plug lead. Once the insulation of the spark plug cable has
been broken, voltage will jum p to the nearest ground, and
the spark plug will not fire properly.

equipm ent.
Normal or average service is assumed to be a m ixture
of idling, slow speed, and high speed operation with some
of each making up the daily total driving. Occasional or
intermittent high-speed driving is essential to good spark
plug performance as it provides increased and sustained
combustion heat that burns away any excess deposits of
carbon or oxide that may have accumulated from frequent
idling or continual stop-and-go or slow-speed driving.
Spark plugs are protected by an insulating nipple made of
special heat-resistant material which covers the spark
plug terminal and extends downward over a portion of the
plug insulator. These nipples prevent flash-over with
resultant missing of engine, even though a film is allowed
to accumulate on exposed portion of plug porcelains.
Do not mistake corona discharge for flash-over or a
shorted insulator. Corona is a steady blue light appearing
SPARK PLUG WIRES
The spark plug wiring is a carbon impregnated cord
conductor encased in an 8 mm diameter rubber jacket.
The silicone spark plug boots form a tight seal on the
plugs. Refer to “ Spark Plug W ires” later in this section for
service precautions.

around the insulator, just above the shell crimp. It is the
visible evidence of a high-tension field, and has no effect
on ignition performance. Usually it can be detected only in
darkness. This discharge may repel dust particles, leaving
a clear ring on the insulator just above the shell. This ring
is som etim es m istakenly regarded as evidence that
combustion gases have blown out between shell and
insulator.
TEST FOR SEPARATELY MOUNTED COIL
1. Disconnect the distributor lead and wiring from the
coil.
2. Connect an ohm meter as shown in figure 48, step 1.
Use the high scale. The reading should be infinite. If
not, replace the coil.
3. Connect the ohm meter as shown in step 2. Use the
low scale. The reading should be very low or zero. If
not, replace the coil.
4. Connect the ohm meter as shown in step 3. Use the
high scale. The meter should not read infinite. If it
does, replace the coil.
5. Reconnect the distributor lead and wiring to the coil.

IGNITION SYSTEM ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
Some service tachometers and electronic diagnostic
equipment may NOT be compatible with these ignition
systems. Consult your representative of such equipment
to update your equipm ent for com patibility with these
systems.
1. When making compression checks, disconnect the
engine control switch feed wire at the distributor.
When disconnecting this connector release the
locking tab while pulling downward on the connector
body; do not use a screwdriver or tool to release the
locking tab as it may break the tab.
2 . No p eriodic lub rica tion is required. Engine oil
lu b rica te s the low er bush in g and an o il-fille d
reservoir provides lubrication for the upper bushing.
NOTICE: the tachom eter terminal must NEVER
be allowed to touch ground, as damage to the
module and/or ignition coil can result.
3. On integral coil distributors, the tachometer (TACH)
terminal is next to the engine control switch (BAT)
connector on the distributor cap. On distributors
with separate coils, the TACH terminal is at the coil
(figure 44).
4. There is no dwell adjustment since this is controlled
by the module.
5. The material used to construct the spark plug wires
is very pliable and soft. This wire will withstand more
heat and carry a higher voltage. Due to the more
pliable wire, scuffing and cutting become easier.
Route the spark plug wires correctly to prevent
chaffing or cutting. When removing a spark plug
wire from a spark plug, twist the boot on the spark
plug and pull on the boot to remove the wire.

SPARK PLUG WIRES
PRECAUTIONS
1. Twist boots 1/2 turn before removing.
2. When removing the boot, do not use pliers or other
tools that could tear the boot.
3. Do not force anything between the wire and the
boot, or through the silicone jacket of the wire.
4. Do not pull on the wires to remove the boot. Pull on
the boot, or use a tool designed for this purpose.
5. Special care should be exercised when installing
spark plug boots to assure that the metal terminal
within the boot is fully seated on the spark plug
terminal and that the boot has not moved on the
wire. If boot to wire movement has occurred, the
boot will give a false visual impression of being fully
seated. A good check to assure that boots have
been properly assembled is to push sideways on the
installed boots. If they have been correctly installed,
a stiff boot with only slight looseness will be noted. If
the terminal has not been properly seated on the
spark plug, only the resistance of the rubber boot
will be felt when pushing sideways.
Wire routings must be kept intact during service, and
followed exactly when wires have been disconnected, or
when replacement of the wires is necessary. Failure to
route the wires properly can lead to radio ignition noise
and crossfiring of the plugs, or shorting of the leads to
ground. For the correct wiring routing for each engine,
refer to figures 53 through 61.
Some d is trib u to rs have s p a rk plug w ire retainer
harness assemblies with the engine firing order marked
on them. If the firing order is not indicated, install the plug
wires according to the firing order as shown in figures 62,
63 and 64. When the wiring is completed, the plug wire
from cylinder number 1 should lead to the distributor
tower at the front and on the same side of the engine as
cylinder num ber 1 . The plug wire from cylinder number 6
(in 6 cylinder engines) or from cylinder num ber 8 (in V 8
engines) should lead to the distributor tower at the front of
the engine next to the number 1 tower.
Be sure to position all plug boots perpendicular to the
centerline of the engine.
On the LE 8 (7.4 L V 8 ) engine, the spark plug harness
assembly and a dielectric paper insulator are fitted to a
shield which is installed over the spark plug (figure 65).
The insulator grounds the shield to the engine block. If
the assembly is removed from the shield, make sure that
th e in s u la to r is p re s e n t and u n d a m a g e d b e fo re
reinstallation.

When it necessary to move any of the wiring, whether
to lift wires away from their harnesses or move harnesses
to reach some component, take care that all wiring is re
placed in its original position and all harnesses routed
correctly. If clips or retainers break, replace them. Electri
cal problems can result from wiring or harnesses becom

G EN ERA L INFORMATION
DRIVEABILITY
The driveability diagnosis procedures apply to various
systems in current GM vehicles. The procedures assume
that the vehicle worked right at one time and the problem
is due to time, wear, dirt or other causes. Start with the
introduction that follows. This will describe a systematic
diagnostic procedure.
Any system disconnected during diagnosis should be
reconnected. This includes wires, hoses, linkage, etc.
When removing air cleaner, plug hose fittings that could
cause an air leak.
EMISSIONS
The exhaust emission control systems used on General
Motors engines perform a specific function to lower
exhaust emissions while maintaining good fuel economy
and driveability.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Refer to the General Motors Maintenance Schedule in
Section OB of this Service Manual for the maintenance
service that should be perform ed to retain emission
control performance.
VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL
INFORMATION LABEL
The Vehicle Emissions Control Information label (Fig. 1)
contains important emission specifications and setting
procedures. In the upper left corner is exhaust emission
information which identifies the year, the manufacturing
division of the engine, the displacem ent in liters of the
engine, the class of vehicle and type of fuel metering.
Also there is an illustrated em ission com ponent and
vacuum hose schematic. This label is located in the
engine compartment of every General Motors Corporation
vehicle. If the label has been removed, it can be ordered
from the parts division. (WDDGM)
VISUAL/PHYSICAL UNDERHOOD
INSPECTION
One of the most important checks that must be done as
p a rt o f a n y d ia g n o s tic p ro c e d u re is a c a re fu l
visual/physical underhood inspection. This can often lead
to fixing a problem without further steps. Inspect all
vacuum hoses for correct routing, pinches, cuts, or
disconnects. Be sure to inspect hoses that are difficult to
see beneath the air cleaner, compressor, generator, etc.
Inspect all the wires in the engine com partm ent for
correct and good connections, burned or chaffed spots,
pinched wires, or contact with sharp edges or hot exhaust
m a n ifo ld s . T h is v is u a l/p h y s ic a l in s p e c tio n is ve ry
important. It must be done carefully and thoroughly.

INTRODUCTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The engine has controls to reduce exhaust emissions
while m aintaining good driveability and fuel economy.
The following emission controls are on all engines:
• Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV)
• Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
• Therm ostatic Air Cleaner (THERMAC)
• Air Injection Reaction (AIR)
• Early Fuel Evaporation (EFE)
• Evaporative Emission Control (EECS)
• Throttle Return Control (TRC)
• Deceleration Control
Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV)
All engines have closed Positive Crankcase Ventilation
S ystem to p ro v id e m ore co m p le te s c a v e n g in g of
crankcase vapors.
Ventilation air is drawn from the dirty air side of the air
cleaner, through a hose, down into the crankcase, up
through the ventilator valve, through a hose and into the
intake manifold. Intake manifold vacuum draws any fumes
from the crankcase to be burned in the engine.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR)
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation system is used on all
engines. It meters exhaust gas into the induction system
for recirculation through the combustion cycle to reduce
oxides of nitrogen emissions. v
The EGR valve rem ains closed during periods of
engine idle and deceleration to prevent rough idle from
excessive exhaust gas d ilu tio n in the idle a ir/fu e l
mixtures. It also remains closed at wide open throttle to
prevent power loss.
Thermostatic Air Cleaner (THERMAC)
The Therm ostatic Air Cleaner is designed to keep air
entering the carburetor at approximately 100°F. Keeping
the air at 100°F, or more, improves engine warm-up
driveability, and will help m inimize carburetor icing.
Air Injection Reaction (AIR)
The Air Injection Reaction system provides additional
oxygen to the exhaust gases to continue the combustion
process.
EARLY FUEL EVAPORATION (EFE)
The EFE system is used to provide a source of rapid
h eat to th e e n g in e in d u c tio n syste m d u rin g co ld
driveaway. Rapid heating is desirable because it provides
fo r q u ic k fu e l e v a p o ra tio n and m ore u n ifo rm fu el
distribution to aid cold driveability.
Evaporative Emission Control
This system has a canister which stores fuel vapor from
the fuel tank and the carburetor. The fuel vapor is
removed from the canister and consumed in the normal
combustion process when the engine is running.
Throttle Return Control (TRC)
The Throttle Return Control system helps to prevent an
over-rich condition on deceleration. The vacuum operated
Throttle Kicker will not allow the throttle to close fully until
the engine speed falls below a specified RPM. By holding
the throttle open slightly, more air is allowed to enter the
engine to maintain a more efficient air/fuel ratio.
Deceleration Control
The deceleration control uses a deceleration valve to
control emissions and back-fire on deceleration. When
deceleration causes a sudden rise in manifold vacuum,
the deceleration valve will open to adm it fresh air to the
inlet manifold. After a calibrated tim e delay, the valve will
c lo s e . T h e s y s te m is m a in ly u s e d w ith m a n u a l
transmission equipped vehicles.

exhaust manifold A.I.R. pipe check
valve. Remove check valve.
2. Connect a fuel pump pressure gage
to a hose and nipple from a Propane
Enrichment Device (J26911) (see
illustration).
3. Insert the nipple into the exhaust
manifold A.I.R. pipe.
4. With the engine at normal operating
temperature and running at 2500
rpm, observe the exhaust system
backpressure reading on the gage.
5. If the backpressure exceeds 2 3/4
psi, 19 kPa a restricted exhaust
system is indicated.
6. Inspect the entire exhaust system
for a collapsed pipe, heat distress,
or possible internal muffler failure.
7. If there are no obvious reasons for
the excessive backpressure, a
restricted catalytic converter
should be suspected, and replaced
using current recommended
procedures.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (EECS)
Figure 5—Evaporative Emissions System
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE
The Evaporative Em ission C ontrol System (EECS)
(Figure 5) limits fuel vapor into the atmosphere. The
system traps fuel vapor from the fuel tank and carburetor
float bowl into a fuel vapor canister. The fuel tank has a
non-vented fuel cap and a single vent pipe to the canister.
The canister absorbs and stores the fuel vapor in a
carbon element until it can be removed and burned
during the normal com bustion process. When the engine
is running, a therm ostatic vacuum switch determines
when the fuel vapor is purged into the intake air flow.
OPERATION (Figure 5)
This system uses the following control valves:
• Purge control valve mounted on the canister.
• Vapor vent valve mounted on the canister.
• A therm al bowl vent valve (some applications).
• A therm ostatic vacuum switch (TVS) installed in the
in ta k e m a n ifo ld to s e n s e e n g in e c o o la n t
temperature.
When the engine is shut off, manifold vacuum is lost at
the vapor vent valve. The spring loaded valve in the vapor
vent valve now connects the carburetor bowl vent to the
canister. Carburetor float cham ber vapors now pass into
the canister for storage. When the engine is restarted,
manifold vacuum draws the vapor vent controlling valve
against spring pressure, closing off the bowl vent. Ported
vacuum from the carburetor is connected to the TVS.
When the TVS opens, ported vacuum opens the purge
control valve. When the valve opens, manifold vacuum
draws vapors from the canister into the intake manifold.
The therm al bowl vent valve (TBVV) is located in the
section of hose that connects the carburetor bowl vent
fitting to the canister control valve.
The TBVV will close and prevent vapor movement at
3 2 °C (90°F) and below. The TBVV will open at 49°C
(120°F) to permit vapor flow to the canister control valve.
FUEL VAPOR CANISTER, PRIMARY (Figure 6)
The basic large size, two cham ber closed bottom
canister is used on all systems and operates as follows:
Gasoline vapors from the fuel tank flow into the tube
labeled “ Fuel Tank,” and vapors from the carburetor float
bowl flow into the tube labeled “ CARB BO W L,” and are
absorbed by the carbon. The canister is purged when the
engine is running above idle speed. The closed bottom
design keeps water from entering the bottom of the
canister, freezing, and restricting purge air flow. During
purge, air is drawn from the clean side of the air cleaner,
to the tube on the canister labeled “ AIR C LN R ,” through
the carbon and into the intake manifold to be burned.
Some closed bottom canisters draw purge air directly
from the atmosphere.

CANISTER PURGE CONTROL VALVE (Figure 6)
The Canister Purge Control Valve is a spring-biased
d ia p h ra g m valve, norm a lly close d, w hich allow s or
prevents purging of the canister. When the engine is off or
idling, the spring holds the valve closed, preventing
canister purge. When the engine is off-idle, however,
tim ed manifold vacuum pulls the diaphgram upward,
opening the valve and allowing the canister to be purged.
DIAGNOSIS OF EECS
SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
• Poor idle, stalling and poor driveability can be
caused by:
• Inoperative vapor vent valve.
• Inoperative purge control valve.
• Damaged canister.
• Hoses split, cracked and, or, not connected to
the proper tubes.
VAPOR VENT CONTROL VALVE (Figure 6)
The vapor vent control valve prevents venting of the
c a rb u re to r flo a t bow l d u rin g e n g in e o p e ra tio n . A
spring-biased diaphragm valve, normally open, allows (or
prevents) fuel vapors from the float bowl to enter the
canister. When the engine is off, spring tension holds the
valve open, allowing normal venting.
W hen the engine is turned on, however, m anifold
vacuum pulls the diaphragm up to close the valve.
FUEL VAPOR CANISTER, AUXILIARY (Figure 7)
An Auxiliary Fuel Vapor Canister is added to a primary
closed bottom canister to increase capacity when a dual
(aux.) fuel tank is used. On the bottom is a hose which
connects to the primary canister’s purge air inlet. On top
is a purge air inlet. Vapor overflowing from the primary
canister is stored in the auxiliary canister. During purge,
vapor flows through the auxiliary canister, the primary
canister and into the intake manifold for burning during
combustion.

FUEL VAPOR CANISTER
V is u a lly ch e ck c a n is te r and rep la ce if cracke d,
damaged or saturated with fuel. Apply a short length of
hose to the carburetor bowl vapor tube of the canister
(lower tube), and blow into it, to determine that air will
pass the vapor vent valve into the canister. If not possible
to blow into the canister, it must be replaced.
VAPOR VENT CONTROL VALVE
Functional Test
Apply a short length of hose to the carburetor bowl
vapor tube of the canister (lower tube), and blow into it to
determine that air will pass the vapor vent valve into the
canister. If not possible to blow into the canister, it must be
replaced.
With a hand vacuum pump, apply vacuum 51 kPa (15"
Hg) to the vacuum sign al tube on the d iaphragm
assembly cover. The diaphragm should hold vacuum for
at least 20 seconds. If it does not, diaphragm is leaking,
and the canister must be replaced.
With vacuum still applied to the vacuum signal tube,
again attempt to blow into the carburetor bowl vapor tube
of the canister. Now air should not pass the vapor vent
valve into the canister, indicating that the valve is sealing
properly. If air does enter the canister past the vapor vent
valve, the valve is not functioning properly, and the
canister must be replaced.
PURGE CONTROL VALVE
Functional Test
Apply a short length of hose to the PCV tube of purge
valve assembly (lower tube), and attempt to blow through
it. Little or no air should pass into the canister. (A small
amount of air will pass if the canister has a constant
purge hole.)
With a hand vacuum pump, apply vacuum 51 kPa (15"
Hg) through the control vacuum signal tube to the purge
valve diaphragm. If the diaphragm does not hold vacuum
for at least 2 0 seconds, the diaphragm is leaking, and the
canister must be replaced.
If the diaphgram holds vacuum, again try to blow
through the hose connected to the PCV tube while
vacuum is still being applied. An increased flow of air
should be observed. If not, the canister must be replaced.
THERMOSTATIC VACUUM SWITCH (TVS)
REPLACEMENT
Thermal vacuum switches opens, closes, or switches
vacuum source w hen the ca lib ra tion tem perature is
reached. The following general checking procedures can
be used for all therm al vacuum switches. Refer to number
stam ped on base of valve or sw itch for calibration
temperature.
1. Allow TVS to cool below calibration temperature.
2. Inspect switch to make sure it is in good condition.
3. Connect hand vacuum pump(s) to output port(s) of
the TVS. (See vacuum hose schematic on Vehicle
Control Emission Information label.)
4. Apply 51 kPa (15" Hg) vacuum.
5. Heat TVS to a temperature above the calibration
temperature. Never apply a torch or open flame
directly to the TVS.
6 . C om pare vacuum
gage reading to the correct
reading indicated on switch or valve base.
NOTICE: Leakage of up to 7 kPa (2" Hg)
vacuum in 2 minutes is allowable and does not
mean a defective part.
7. If operation is satisfactory, reinstall valve or switch. If
valve or switch is defective, replace with a new part.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE — EECS
SYSTEM HOSES
Refer to Vehicle Emission Control Information label for
routing of system hoses.
When replacing hoses, use hose identified with the
word “ Fluoroelastromer.”
VAPOR PIPE
The vapor pipe is secured to the underbody with clamp
and screw assemblies. Flexible hoses are connected at
the fuel tank and the fuel vapor canister. The pipe should
be inspected occasionally for leaks, kinks or dents and
repaired as required.
Repair
Repair vapor pipe in sections using brazed seamless
steel tu bin g m eeting GM S p ecifica tion 123M or its
e q u iv a le n t o r h o s e id e n tifie d w ith th e w o rd
“ Fluoroelastomer.” Hose not so marked could cause early
failure or failure to meet emission standard.
• Do not use copper or alum inum tubing to replace
s te e l tu b in g . T h o s e m a te r ia ls do n o t have
satisfactory durability to withstand normal vehicle
vibrations.
• Do not use rubber hose within 4 inches (100 mm) of
any part of the exhaust system or within 10 inches
(254 mm) of the catalytic converter. Hose inside
diameter must match steel tubing outside diameter.
1. In repairable areas, cut a piece of fuel hose 4 inches
(100 mm) longer than portion of the line removed. If
more than a 6 -inch (152 mm) length of pipe is
removed, use a com bination of steel tubing and
hose so that hose lengths will not be more than 10
inches (254 mm). Follow the same routing as the
original pipe.
2 . Cut ends of pipe rem aining on vehicle square with a
tube cutter. Using the first step of a double flaring
tool, form a bead on the end of both pipe sections. If
pipe is too corroded to withstand bead operation
DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS — CARBURETED 6E8-19
without damage, the pipe should be replaced. If a
new section of pipe is used, form a bead on both
ends of it also.
3. Use screw type hose clamp, Part Number 2494772,
or equivalent. Slide clam ps onto pipe and push
hose 2 inches (51 mm) onto each portion of fuel
pipe. Tighten clamps on each side of repair.
4. Pipes must be properly secured to the frame to
prevent chafing.

AIR INJECTION REACTION (AIR) SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The heavy duty emission engines with vehicle weight
over 8500 GVW have an AIR System with increased air
flow. The system is used to reduce carbon monoxide
(CO), and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions. The air injection
reaction (AIR) system provides a dditional oxygen to
continue the combustion process after the exhaust gases
leave the combustion chamber. The system diverts air
from the exhaust manifold at increased engine speed or
when an electrical malfunction is detected in the system.
The system used on a 4.8 L engine consists of an air
pump, air filter, air control valve, check valve, silencer, air
tem perature sw itch, control m odule, and necessary
plumbing.
AIR CONTROL VALVE (HFEAC) (Figure 8)
This valve is a high flow electric air control (HFEAC)
valve that has an electric solenoid to combine electronic
control with normal diverter valve function.
With ignition “ O N ,” the solenoid is energized through
the control m odule and the air control valve operates like
a s ta n d a rd iz e d d iv e rte r va lve . W ith th e s o le n o id
energized, air is directed to the exhaust manifold. During
an engine decel, when there is a rise in the manifold
vacuum signal, air is directed to the air cleaner or silencer
even though the solenoid is energized. The solenoid is
de-energized when there is high engine speed over a
prolonged period or a m alfunction of the electrical circuit.
“ SERVICE ENGINE SOON” LIGHT
• The air pump(s) is belt driven on the front of the
engine and supplies the air to the system.
If there is a malfunction in the control module, wiring
harness or solenoid(s), an amber “ SERVICE ENGINE
SOON” light will illuminate on the instrument panel. The
“ SERVICE ENGINE SO O N ” light is “ O N ” w ith the
ignition key “ O N ” and the engine not running as a bulb
check (except 7.4 L). When the engine is started, the light
will remain on for three to six seconds and then turn off.
On a 7.4 L system, with ignition “ O N ” and the engine not
running, the “ SERVICE ENGINE SO ON” light will come
“ O N ” and stay “ O N ” for 1 -2 seconds and then go “ O FF”
as a bulb check.
• Intake air passes through an external air filter to the
air pump(s).
DECELERATION CONTROL (Figure 9)
The system used on a 5.7 L or 7.4 L engine consists of
two AIR pumps, an air filter, two air control valves, two
check valves, a control module and necessary plumbing.
The 7.4 L engine also uses a control relay to operate the
“ SERVICE ENGINE SOON” light.
AIR OPERATION
• Air flow from the pump(s) passes through a control
valve(s) and an AIR pipe(s) and into the exhaust
manifold.
• The check valve prevents back flow of exhaust into
the pump in the event of an exhaust backfire or
pump drive belt failure.
To help p re v e n t b a c k firin g d u rin g h ig h va cu u m
conditions a deceleration (gulp) valve is used with these
AIR systems. The high vacuum draws the deceleration
valve diaphragm down and opens the valve allowing air
from the air cleaner to flow into the intake manifold. This
air enters the air/fuel mixture to lean the rich condition
created by high vacuum when the throttle valve closes on
deceleration.
6E8-20 DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS — CARBURETED
The vacuum draws the deceleration valve diaphragm
down and opens the valve allowing air from the air
cleaner to flow into the intake manifold.

The AIR System is not completely noiseless. Under
normal conditions, noise rises in pitch as engine speed
increases. To determ ine if excessive noise is the fault of
the Air Injection Reactor System, operate the engine with
the pump drive belt removed. If excessive noise does not
exist with the belt removed, check for the following:
• A seized air pump.
• Im proper m ounting and bolt torque of pump.
• Im proper routing and connections of hoses.
CAUTION: Do not oil air pump.
• Replace pump if none of the above conditions exist.
“ SERVICE ENGINE SOON” LIGHT
If the “ SERVICE ENGINE SO O N ” light is on with the
engine running, refer to the proper C- 6 HD Chart for
diagnosis.
AIR PUMP
The air pum p is permanently lubricated and requires no
periodic maintenance.
Accelerate engine and observe air flow from hose(s). If
air flow increases as engine is accelerated, pump is
operating satisfactorily. If air flow does not increase or is
not present, proceed as follows:

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
source, the EGR pintle is closed and there is no exhaust
gas recirculation. When the throttle valves are opened,
vacuum is applied through the exposed vacuum signal
port(s) to the vacuum diaphragm in the EGR valve
through a connection tube. W hen the vacuum reaches a
pre-determ ined level, the diaphragm moves upward
against calibrated spring tension, pulling the pintle with it.
The pintle rises off the seat, allowing exhaust gas to flow
from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold and into
the engine cylinders.
PURPOSE
The EGR system is used to lower NOx (oxides of
nitrogen) emission levels caused by high combustion
temperatures. It does this by decreasing com bustion
temperature.
The EGR system has a ported EGR valve (figure 21),
hose from a ported m anifold vacuum source and a
method to control the vacuum source.
A coolant tem perature TVS is used to control the
vacuum source.
OPERATION
The therm ostatic vacuum switch (TVS) blocks vacuum
to the EGR valve during cold engine operation (figure 22).
When the engine is warm, the TVS opens, which opens
the vacuum source to the EGR valve. At idle or wide-open
throttle, there is little or no vacuum from the vacuum

DIAGNOSIS OF EGR
EGR SYSTEM
Too much EGR flow tends to weaken com bustion,
causing the engine to run roughly or stop. With too much
EGR flow at idle, cruise, or cold operation, any of the
following conditions may happen:
• Engine stops after cold start.
• Engine stops at idle after deceleration.
• Vehicle surges during cruise.
• Rough idle.
If the EGR valve should stay open all of the time, the
engine may not idle.
Too little o r no EGR flo w a llo w s c o m b u s tio n
temperatures to get too high during acceleration and load
conditions. This could cause:
• Spark knock (detonation).
• Engine overheating.
• Emission test failure.
CLEANING MANIFOLD PASSAGE

EGR VALVE
Refer to EGR System Check at the end of this section
for diagnosis of the EGR valve.
The valve will open if vacuum is applied with the engine
not running.
THERMOSTATIC VACUUM SWITCH
A therm al vacuum switch opens, closes, or switches
vacuum source when the ca lib ra tion tem perature is
reached. The following general checking procedures can
be used for all thermal vacuum switches. Refer to number
stam ped on base of valve or sw itch for calibration
temperature.
1 . Allow TVS to cool below calibration temperature.
2. Inspect switch to make sure it is in good condition.
3. Connect vacuum gage(s) to output port(s) of the
TVS. (See vacuum hose schem atic on Vehicle
Control Emission Information label).

applied to the actuator, the valve closes, causing the
intake manifold to heat up.
When coolant temperature increases, the TVS stops
vacuum to the actuator.
Results of Incorrect EFE Operation

• Choke may heat up and be off before engine is
warm.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EFE stays on:
• Poor performance.
PURPOSE
The EFE system used on all engines provides a source
of rapid heat to the engine induction system during cold
driveaway. Rapid heating is desirable because it provides
quick fuel evaporation and more uniform fuel distribution
to aid cold driveability. It also reduces the length of time
carburetor choking is required, so it reduces exhaust
emissions.
• Lack of power when warm due to superheated
gases.
• Engine may overheat.
DIAGNOSIS OF EFE
GENERAL
OPERATION
The EFE system is a Vacuum Servo type that uses a
valve and vacuum actuator which increases the exhaust
gas flow under the intake manifold during cold engine
operation. The valve is located in the exhaust and the
vacuum actuator is vacuum operated (figure 26) by a
The operation of the EFE system is to be checked at

POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV)
Figure 31—PCV Valve Cross Section
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE
A Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system is used
to provide more com plete scavenging of crankcase
vapors.
OPERATION
Fresh air from the air clea ne r is supplied to the
crankcase, mixed with blow-by gases and then passed
through a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve into
the intake manifold (figure 32). The prim ary control is
through the PCV valve (figure 31) which meters the flow at
a rate depending on manifold vacuum.
To maintain idle quality, the PCV valve restricts the flow
w hen intake m anifold vacuum is h ig h. If abnorm al
operating conditions arise, the system is designed to
allow excessive amounts of blow-by gases to back flow
through the crankcase vent tube into the air cleaner to be
consumed by normal combustion.
Results of Incorrect PCV Operation
• A plugged valve or hose may cause:
• Rough idle.
• Stalling or slow idle speed.
• Oil leaks.
• Oil in air cleaner.
• Sludge in engine.
• A leaking valve or hose would cause:
• Rough idle.
• Stalling.
DIAGNOSIS OF PCV
If an engine is idling rough, check for a clogged PCV
valve or plugged hose. Replace as required. Use the
following procedure:
1. Remove PCV valve from rocker arm cover.
2. Run the engine at idle.
3. Place your thum b over end of valve to check for
vacuum. If there is no vacuum at valve, check for
plugged hoses or m anifold port, or PCV valve.
Replace plugged or deteriorated hoses.
Figure 32—PCV Flow
4. Turn off the engine and remove PCV valve. Shake
valve and listen for the rattle of check needle inside
the valve. If valve does not rattle, replace valve.
With this system, any blow-by in excess of the system
capacity (from a badly-worn engine, sustained heavy load,
etc.) is exhausted into the air cleaner and is drawn into the
engine.
Proper operation of the PCV System (figure 33) is
dependent upon a sealed engine. If oil sludging or
dilution is noted, and the PCV System is functioning
properly, check engine for possible cause and correct to
insure that system will function as intended.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE — PCV
See fig u re 33 fo r re p la c e m e n t o f PC V s y s te m
components.
An engine which is operated without any crankcase
ventilation can be damaged. Therefore, it is im portant to
6E8-40 DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS — CARBURETED
replace the PCV valve and air clea ne r breather at
intervals shown in Section OB.
Periodically, inspect the hoses and clam ps and replace
any showing signs of deterioration.

THERMOSTATIC AIR CLEANER (THERMAC)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE
A heated intake air system is used to give good
driveability under varying clim atic conditions. By having a
uniform inle t te m p era ture , the fuel system can be
calibrated to reduce exhaust emissions and to eliminate
throttle blade icing.
OPERATION
The THERMAC air cleaner operates by heated air and
manifold vacuum (figure 34). Air can enter the air cleaner
from outside the engine com partm ent or from a heat stove
built around the exhaust manifold. A vacuum diaphragm
motor, built into the air cleaner snorkel, moves a damper
door, to adm it hot air from the exhaust manifold, outside
air, or a combination of both. Inside the air cleaner is a
temperature sensor that reacts to air intake temperature
and controls the amount of vacuum going to the motor.
• Hot Air Delivery Mode. When the temperature is
below 8 6 °F (30°C), the sensor allows vacuum to the
motor and the dam per door will be up, shuting off
outside air and allowing only heated air from the
exhaust manifold to enter the air cleaner.
• Regulating Mode. Between 8 6 °F (30°C) and 131 °F
(55°C) the dam per door allows both heated and
outside air to enter the air cleaner.
• Outside Air Delivery Mode. W hen the temperature is
above 131 °F (55°C), the dam per door drops down
and only outside air enters the air cleaner.
THERMAC DELAY VALVE
Some applications use a delay valve on the hose
connecting the vacuum motor to the temperature sensor
(figure 35). When vacuum in this hose drops for any
reason, the check valve will bleed off the vacuum to the
vacuum motor slowly.
Results of Incorrect THERMAC Operation
• Hesitation during warm-up can be caused by:
• Heat stove tube disconnected.
• Vacuum diaphragm motor inoperative (open to
snorkel).
• No manifold vacuum.
• Damper door does not move.
• Missing air cleaner to carburetor seal.
• Missing air cleaner cover seal or loose cover.
• Loose air cleaner.
• Lack of power, sluggish or spongy, on a hot engine
can be caused by:
• Damper door does not open to outside air.
• Temperature sensor doesn’t bleed off vacuum.

STATOR ASSEMBLY FREEWHEELS
STATOR ASSEMBLY REMAINS LOCKED UP
If the stator roller clutch becomes ineffective, the stator
assembly freewheels at all times in both directions. With
this condition, the vehicle tends to have poor acceleration
from a standstill. At speeds above 48 to 56 km/h (30-35
mph), the vehicle may act normal. If poor acceleration
problems are noted, it should first be determined that the
exhaust system is not blocked, the engine is running
properly and the transm ission is in first (1st) gear when
starting out.
If the engine will free acclerate to high rpm in Neutral
(N), it can be assumed that the engine and exhaust
system are normal.
If the stator assembly remains locked up at all times,
the engine rpm and vehicle speed will tend to be limited
or restricted at high speeds. The vehicle performance
when accelerating from a standstill will be normal. Engine
overheating may be noted. Visual examination of the
converter may reveal a blue color from the overheating
that will result.

Line pressure is basically controlled by pump o u tp u t and the pressure regulator valve. In addition, line pressure
is boosted in Reverse, Second and Lo by the reverse boost valve.
A lso , in the Neutral, Drive, Interm ediate and Reverse positions o f the selector lever, the line pressure should increase
w ith th ro ttle opening because of the T V system . The pressure is controlled by the T V cable, the th ro ttle lever and
bracket assem bly and the T V link, as w ell as the control valve assem bly.
The main line pressure tap plug is located on the le ft side of the transm ission above the outside manual lever.

ROAD TEST
• Performthe road test following the sequence given.
• KPH (MPH) shift points will vary with actual throttle
position and driver habits.
• Compare the results of the test with speed shift chart
information. Use these results with the diagnosis
information to evaluate the transmission (figure 37).
• This test should only be performed when traffic and
road conditions permit.
• Observe all traffic safety regulations.
GARAGE SHIFT CHECK
1. Start engine.
2. Depress brake pedal.
3. Move gear selector:
— “Park” (P) to “Reverse” (R).
— “Reverse” (R) to “Neutral” (N) to “Drive” (D).
Gear selections should be immediate and not
harsh.

With gear selector in “Overdrive” (D).
1. Accelerate using a steady increasing throttle pressure.
2. Note the shift speed point gear engagements for:
— 2nd gear.
— 3rd gear.
— Overdrive.
3. Note the speed shift point to TCC apply. This should
occur while inthird gear or overdrive. If the apply is not
noticed, refer to the Preliminary Torque Converter
Clutch Diagnosis information contained in this section
of the Service Manual.
Im portant
The torque converter clutch will not engage if engine
coolant has not reached a minimum operating
temperature of approximately 54°C (130°F).

ON VEHICLE SERVICE
PARTS CLEANING, INSPECTION
AND REPLACEMENT
1. Use appropriate safety equipment such as:
• Safety glasses.
• Safety shoes.
• Gloves.
2. Keep work area and tools clean.
3. Clean the transmission exterior before removing parts.
4. Do not use wipe cloths or rags.
5. Do not use solvents on:
• Rubber seals.
• Plastic/Teflon® thrust washers.
6. Blow out all passages with compressed air.
7. Clean out small passages with fine wire.
8. Handle parts carefully to prevent damage.
9. Lubricate all internal parts with transmission fluid
during assembly.
10. When installing screws, bolts or studs into aluminum
always dip the threads in transmission fluid.
11. Always use a torque wrench for proper torque.
12. Recondition damaged or stripped aluminum threads
with thread inserts.
13. Replace all gaskets and seals.
• Do not use gasket cement or sealers.
14. Replace Teflon® and rubber lip seals only when
necessary and install them using the appropriate seal
protector.
Inspect
Manual linkage for:
• Wear at pivoting points.
• Bent or broken links and rods.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 7A-63
2. All seals, gasket and mating surfaces for:
• Nicks.
• Cuts.
• Damage.
3. Snap rings for:
• Expansion or compression.
• Distortion.
• Nicks.
• Proper ring to groove fit.
4. Bearings and thrust surfaces for:
• Wear.
• Scoring.
• Pitting.
OIL COOLER LINES
If replacement of transm ission steel tubing cooler lines
is required, use only double wrapped and brazed steel
tubing meeting GM specification 123M or equivalent.
Under no condition use copper or aluminum tubing to
rep la ce steel tu b in g . Those m ate ria ls do not have
satisfactory fatigue durability to withstand normal vehicle
vibrations. Steel tubing should be flared using the double
flare method.
COOLER LINE FLUSHING
In a major transmission failure, where particles of metal
have been carried with the oil throughout the units of the
transmission, it will be necessary to flush out the oil
cooler and connecting lines. To flush the oil cooler and
lines, use the following procedure:
1. Disconnect both cooler lines from the transmission.
2. Place a hose over the end of the cooler inlet line (from
the bottom of the cooler) and insert the hose into an
empty container.
3. Flush clean oleum solvent or equivalent through the
return line (from the top of the cooler) using an oil
suction gun until clean solvent comes out of the hose.
This will “ back flush” the cooler.
4. Remove the hose from the inlet cooler line and place it
on the return line.
5. Flush clean oleum solvent or equivalent through the
inlet line until clean solvent comes out the return line.
R em ove re m a in in g s o lv e n t from c o o le r w ith
compressed air applied to the return line and flush with
transmission fluid.
6. Reconnect oil cooler lines and torque nuts to 17 N m
(12 ft. lbs.).
CHECKING AND ADDING FLUID
The automatic transmission is designed to operate at
the "F U LL HOT” mark on the dipstick at normal operating
temperatures of 8 8 °C -9 3 °C (190°F -200°F ), and should
be checked under these conditions (figure 61).
The normal operating temperature is obtained only
after at least 24 km (15 miles) of highway type driving.
If the vehicle has recently been operated for an
extended period at high speed or in city traffic in hot
weather or the vehicle is being used to pull a trailer, an
accurate fluid level cannot be determined until the fluid
has cooled down, usually about 30 minutes after the
vehicle has been parked.
%$&&&i
A. O p e ra tin g Level
F-02670
Figure 61—Transmission Dipstick
Inspect
1. Park vehicle on level ground.
2. Apply parking brake and block wheels.
3. Start engine and operate vehicle for 15 minutes or until
a normal operating temperature is reached.
4. Move gear selector through all gear positions.
5. Move gear selector to “ Park” (P).
6. Check fluid level, color and condition. Refer to
“ Transmission Fluid Information” in this section.
Important
DO NOT OVERFILL.
Overfilling can cause foaming and loss of fluid through
the vent. Slippage and transm ission failure can result.
Fluid level too low can cause slipping, particularly,
when the transm ission is cold or the vehicle is on a hill.

• The engine must start in the “ P” (Park) or “ N ”
(Neutral) positions only. Adjust if needed, refer to
“ Neutral Start Switch” in this section.
CAUTION: With the selector lever in the “ Park”
position, the parking pawl should freely engage
within the rear (reaction) internal gear lugs or
output ring gear lugs and prevent the vehicle
from rolling, which could cause personal injury.

TV CABLE
The TV Cable used with the THM 700-R4 transmission
should not be thought of as an automatic downshift cable.
The TV cable used on the THM 700-R4 controls line
pressure, shift points, shift feel, part throttle downshifts
and detent downshifts. The function of the cable is sim ilar
to the combined functions of a vacuum modulator and a
detent cable.
The TV cable operated the TV link (144) and bracket in
the transmission (figure 64).
The TV b ra cke t a s s e m b ly se rve s tw o (2) b a s ic
functions:
1. The primary function of this assembly is to transfer the
carburetor throttle plate movement to the TV plunger in
the control valve assembly as related by the TV cable
and linkage. This causes TV pressure and line
pressure to increase according to engine throttle
opening and also controls part throttle and detent
downshifts. The proper adjustment of the TV cable is
based on the TV plunger being fully depressed to flush
with the TV bushing at engine wide open throttle.
2. The second function of the assembly involves a TV
exhaust ball. The function of this system is to prevent
the transmission from operating at low (idle position)
pressures, if the TV cable should become broken or
disconnected. If the cable is not connected or broken,
the TV lifter rod will not move from its normal spring
loaded up position which holds the TV exhaust check
ball off its seat. The TV lifter rod will drop down to allow
the TV exhaust ball to seat only if the cable if broken,
disconnected or extremely out of adjustment. With the
transmission pan removed, it should be possible to pull
down on the TV exhaust valve lifter rod and the springs
should return the rod to its normal up position. If the
throttle lever and bracket assembly or lifter rod binds or
sticks so that the TV lifter rod cannot lift the exhaust
ball off its seat, high line pressures and delayed shifts
will result.
5. Cable (142) through the engine bracket and engage
locking tangs (B) of the cable on the bracket.
Im portant
• Avoid damaging or kinking the cable.
6. Cable terminal (255) to the throttle lever (140).
• Pull on upper end of cable. It should travel a
short distance with light resistance caused by
the small return spring on the TV lever. When
releasing the upper end of the TV cable, it
should return to the zero TV position.
7. Adjust the TV cable. Refer to “ TV Cable Adjustment”
in this section.
TV CABLE ADJUSTMENT
Adjustm ent of the TV cable must be made by rotating
the throttle lever at the carburetor or throttle body. Do not
use the accelerator pedal to rotate the throttle lever.
A djust (Figure 64)
1. Stop the engine.
2. Depress and hold down the metal re-adjust tab (250) at
the engine end of the TV cable (142).
3. Move the slider (251) until it stops against the fitting.
4. Release the readjustment tab (250).
5. Rotate the throttle lever (140) to its “ full travel
position.”
6. The slider (251) must move (ratchet) toward the lever
when the lever is rotated to its “ full travel position.”
• Check that cable moves freely. The cable may
appear to function properly with the engine
stopped and cold. Recheck after the engine is
hot.
7. Road test the vehicle.

closes the contacts. So the circuit breaker opens and
closes until the excess current condition is corrected or
the circuit is disconnected from the power supply.
The remote reset circuit breaker has a heating wire
wound around the bimetallic strip. When an excess
current happens, the strip heats, bends, and opens the
contacts. Then a small current flows through the heat
wire, keeping the strip hot and the contacts open. This
type of breaker will stay open until either the power supply
is disconnected from the circuit or the breaker is removed
from the circuit. Then the breaker can cool and reset.
CIRCUIT CONTROLLERS
Figure 2—C ircuit Components
the circuit controller the circuit goes into the circuit load.
The circuit load can be one light or many lights in parallel,
an electric motor or a solenoid. After the electricity has
passed through the load it must return to the power
supply via the ground path. The ground path can be a
wire in the harness or it could be through the load
housing into the body or frame, thus returning the
electricity to the power supply. The body and frame are
connected by flexible ground straps.
FUSIBLE LINK
A fusible link is a section of wire that is usually four
gage sizes smaller than the circuit it protects. A special
insulation is used that swells when heated by the wire.
Fusible links are usually found in the engine compartment
harnesses. The function of the fusible link is to melt open
when an overload occurs, thus preventing any damage to
the circuit.
FUSES
The most common protector in the vehicle circuit is a
fuse. A fuse consists of a fine wire or strip of metal inside
a glass tube or plastic housing. The strip melts and
interrupts the flow of current in the circuit when there is an
overload caused by an unwanted short or ground. The
fuse is designed to melt before the wiring or electrical
components in a circuit can be damaged. Naturally, the
cause must be located and corrected before the fuse is
replaced or the new fuse will also blow.
Since different circuits handle different amounts of
current, fuses of various ratings are used. Fuses are rated
in amperes. Be sure to replace a blown fuse with a fuse of
the connecting rating.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Circuit breakers are another form of circuit protector.
There are two types of circuit breakers; automatic reset
and remote reset.
The automatic reset breaker opens when excess
current heats a bimetallic strip, causing the strip to bend
and open a set of contacts. Then the strip cools and
C ircuit controllers consist of switches or relays.
Switches are usually operated by a mechanical means
such as a hand or lever. Switches are usually at the
beginning of a circuit but can be used to control a ground
path. For example, the switch controlling the headlights is
at the power end of the circuit while the door switch
controlling the domelight completes the ground path.
Relays are remotely controlled switches. They are used
in high current circuits and in circuits controlled by
sensors.
Relays are designed so that a small current circuit will
be able to control a large current circuit.
WIRING HARNESS AND WIRES
Every wire is a specific size with colored or striped
insulation that is indicated on the wiring diagrams.
Insulation colors help to trace circuits and to make proper
connections. A bbreviations and sym bols used for
indicating wire insulation colors and patterns are as
follows:
B L K ............... .................. B l a c k
B R N ............... .................. B r o w n
C H K ............... ............... C h e c k
P P L ............... ............... P u r p l e

Some wires are grouped and taped together or
encased in a split plastic casing. This grouping of wires is
called a harness. For some purposes, it is more practical
to use a single wire protected by a braided tubing called a
loom.
Wiring harnesses are joined by using a multiple plug
and receptacle connector block, or a terminal post
chassis junction block. In the instrument panel area
plastic insulated blade-type connectors and screw-type
terminals are used.
Each harness or wire must be held securely in place by
clips or other holding devices to prevent chafing of the
insulation.
WIRE SIZE
Wire size in a circuit is determined by the amount of
current, the length of the circuit and the voltage drop
allowed. Wire size is specified using the metric gage. The
metric gage describes the wire size directly in cross
section area measured in square millimeters.

NOTICE: The following instruments: Ammeter,
Voltmeter, and Ohmmeter, each have a
particular application for trouble shooting
electrical circuits.
Whenusinganammeteror voltmeter, andthe
value being tested is unknown, always use the
highest scale first and work downward to a
midscale reading whenever possible. This will
avoiddamageto theinstrument.
Never useanohmmeter in apower circuit, or
as asubstitute for a voltmeter or ammeter, as
damageto theinstrument will result.

POWER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Individual motors operate each door lock. The direction
the motor turns depends on the polarity of the supply
voltage. The door lock switches control the supply voltage
polarity. Each switch will lock all the doors.
Each motor has a self-resetting circuit breaker built in.
Voltage is present at the door lock switches at all times.
Voltage is also present on the open contacts of the door
lock relay at all times.
When a door switch is moved to “ Lock,” current flows
through the switch and lock relay coil to ground. The relay
closes, causing current to flow through the lock relay
contacts, door lock motor, the unlock relay contacts, and
then to ground.
When a door lock switch is moved to “ U nlock,” current
flows through the switch, the unlock relay contacts, the
door lock motor, the lock relay contacts, and to ground.
This causes the lock motor to unlock the door.
For RV models, the door lock relay is located on, the
dash panel, above the steering column. For G van models
the door lock relay is located on front left door hinge pillar.

DESCRIPTION
Each power window is moved by a single permanent
magnet motor. The direction the motor turns depends on
the polarity of the supply voltage. The control switches
control the supply voltage polarity.
Switches for controlling all the power windows are
located at the driver’s door. Each passenger’s window
switch controls only the w indow at that passenger’s
position.
The motors have a self resetting circuit breaker built in.
The circuit breaker allows the motor to be stalled without
damage. There are no travel-limit switches.
When a window switch is moved to “ UP,” current flows
through the circuit breaker, the window switch, the DK
BLU wire, the motor, the circuit breaker, the BRN wire, the
“ DN” contacts in the switch, and into the BLK wire which
goes to ground.

WINDSHIELD WIPER—RV AND G MODELS
DESCRIPTION
A permanent magnet type wiper is used on RV and G
Series. The motor parts-field magnets, armature, drive
gear etc. are enclosed in a two piece sheet metal housing.
For purposes of explanation the housing halves are
referred to as u pp er and low er housings. The two
housings are attached to each other by ten extrusions
which are staked over. '
The wiper motor is protected by an automatic reset type
c irc u it breaker located on the m otor brush holder
assembly. A fuse located in the fuse block protects the
vehicle wiring.
The wiper motor can be operated only when the ignition
switch is in the “ run” or “ accessory” position.
The wiper motor has three brushes; the “ com m on,” the
low speed, and the high speed. When the ignition switch
is “ O N ,” power is applied to the common brush. The low
speed and high speed brushes are connected to their
respective ground via the control switch. When the control
switch is positioned at “ HI” or “ LO” speed, a ground path
is connected to the high or low speed brush in the motor.
The motor runs at the switch selected speed.
In order to have the wiper blades stop in their normal
park position and the w iper motor shut off properly, the
motor must run in LO speed. When the control switch is
moved to the OFF position, the low speed brush circuit
goes through a park switch located in the gear housing
and then to ground at the control switch. The park switch
is normally closed and this allows the wiper to keep
running. When the wiper blades reach their park position,
cam on the gear opens the normally closed park switch,
which turns off the wiper. Refer to Figures 29 and 30.

containing a parking switch in addition to the gear train.
The gear train consists of a motor arm ature helical
gearshaft which drives an intermediate gear and pinion
assembly. The pinion gear of the intermediate gear and
pinion drives an output gear and shaft assembly.
Turning the wiper switch to the LO speed position
completes the circuits from the wiper term inals 1 and 3 to
ground (Figure 48). Current then flows from the battery via
wiper terminal No. 2 through the series field and divides;
(1) part passes through the armature to ground via wiper
terminal No. 1 to the wiper switch and (2) the second part
passes through the shunt field to ground through wiper
terminal No. 3 to the wiper switch. The wiper switch must
be securely grounded to body metal.
Moving the wiper switch to the HI speed position opens
the shunt field circuit to ground at the switch. However,
the shunt field is connected to a 20 ohm resistor which is
connected across wiper term inals 1 and 3. The shunt field
current then flows via terminal No. 3 through the resistor
to terminal No. 1 to the switch, to ground.

b. W iper motor is securely grounded to body.
c. W ip e r s w itc h is s e c u re ly m o u n te d and

d. Check fuse.
If items in Step 1 check out, try operating w iper in
both “ LO” and “ HI” speeds, then turn w iper off
(blades should return to park position). If wiper fails
to operate correctly, proceed to Step 3.
D isconnect w iring harness from w ipe r and try
operating w iper as shown in Figures 49, 50, and 51.
If wiper operates correctly independently of switch
and vehicle w iring, refer to “ DIAGNOSIS — WIPER
ON VEH IC LE.”
If wiper still fails to operate correctly in Step 3,
disconnect wiper linkage from motor crank arm and
try operating w iper again. If wiper operates correctly
independently of linkage, check linkage for cause of
wiper m alfunction.
If wiper fails to operate correctly independently of
linkage, remove wiper motor from vehicle and refer
to “ DIAGNOSIS — WIPER OFF VEHICLE.”

HEATER SYSTEM CIRCUITS
DESCRIPTION
The heater blower motor is controlled by the blower
switch. The blower switch is a four position switch; off,
low, medium, and high. This switch controls the speed of
the blower motor by connecting different resistances into
the motor circuit, thereby dropping the voltage available to
the motor.
The blower switch is located on the control assembly.
The harness from the switch goes to the dash panel
connector and into the engine compartment. The harness
is then routed to the resistor block, which is located on the
blower housing. From the resistor block, the harness then
g o e s to th e b lo w e r m otor. T h e w ire c o lo rs
can be found in the wiring diagrams which are at the back
of this manual.
DIAGNOSIS
For diagnosis of the heater blower circuit, refer to
HEATING AND VENTILATION (SEC. 1A).
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
For on-vehicle service of the heater blower circuit, refer
to HEATING AND VENTILATION (SEC. 1A).
AIR CONDITIONING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
DIAGNOSIS
The compressor electro-magnetic clutch is turned on
and off by the pressure sensing switch. When refrigerant
pressure drops below a certain predetermined level, the
switch opens the compressor clutch circuit, which causes
the refrigeration system to stop working. The pressure
sensing switch is located near the top of the accumulator.
For diagnosis of the A/C electrical system, refer to AIR
CONDITIONING (SEC. 1B).
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
For on-vehicle service of the air conditioning, refer to

REAR LIGHTING SYSTEMS
The rear lighting systems contain the circuits for the
running, park, turn, stop and license lamps. One bulb
may function for more than one circuit. The harness for
the rear lighting systems starts at the fuse block, goes to
the various switches and then back along the left frame to
the various lamps.
REAR RUNNING LAMPS AND
MARKER LAMPS
This circuit starts at the lamp switch. The lamps will be
on when the lamp switch is in the first and second
detents. The front park lamps and front marker lamps will
also be on when the lamp switch is in the first detent.
REAR PARK LAMPS
These lamps will be on when the lamp switch is in the
first detent. The front park lamps will also be on. The side
marker lamps will also be on.
REAR TURN, STOP, AND
HAZARD SYSTEMS
These three systems use the same bulb in the rear
lamps. When the rear turn system is turned on, a thermal
oscillator is turned on, which causes the system to flash.
The front park lamps are also a part of the turn system.
The stop lamp system is turned on by a brake switch
closing. The two rear bright lamps are then turned on.
The hazard system is turned on by the hazard switch.
The hazard system therm al oscillator is then turned on

WINDOW REPLACEMENT
If a glass is cracked but still intact, it should be
crisscrossed with masking tape to reduce the risk of injury
and/or damage to the vehicle. If a crack extends to the
edge of the glass, mark the door with a piece of chalk at
the point where the crack meets the weatherstrip. Later,
when examining the flange of the opening for a cause of
the crack, start at the point marked.
It is important that the cause ofthe crack be determined
and the condition corrected, before the new glass is
installed. The cause of the crack may be an obstruction or
high spot somewhere around the flange of the opening;
cracking may not occur until pressure from the high spot
or obstruction becomes particularly high due to winds,
extremes of temperature, or rough terrain.
STATIONARY GLASS
Remove or Disconnect (Figure 96)
CAUTION: Always wear heavy gloves when
handling glass to minimize the risk of injury.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT
Each of the two doors must first be adjusted in the door
opening before adjusting the door to door clearance.
Adjust (Figure 104)
1. The door height so that there is a gap of 6 mm ± 0.5
mm (0.25-inch ± 0.02-inch) between the roof panel and
the rear door panel.
2. The gap between the bottom of the door panel (not the
bottom of the outer panel) and the platform panel
should be 6 mm ± 0.5 mm (0.25-inch ± 0.02-inch).
This measurement should be taken on each door
individually from the side of the door. Thedoor should
be in its normal closed position. (The outer rear door
panel is 15.25 mm ± 0.5 mm (0.60-inch ± 0.02-inch)
away from the rear platform panel when normally
closed).
3. The rear door outer panel to the body side outer panel
gap to 4 mm ± 0.5 mm (0.16-inch ± 0.02-inch).
4. The door to door clearance between the left and right
outer door panels should be 6 mm ± 0.5 mm
(0.25-inch ± 0.02-inch).

WINDOW REPLACEMENT
If a glass is cracked but still intact, it should be
crisscrossed with masking tape to reduce the risk of injury
and/or damage to the vehicle. If a crack extends to the
edge of the glass, mark the door with a piece of chalk at
the point where the crack meets the weatherstrip. Later,
when examining the flange of the opening for a cause of
the crack, start at the point marked.
It is im p o rta n t th a t th e c a u s e of th e c ra c k be
determined and the condition corrected, before the new
glass is installed. The cause of the crack may be an
obstruction or high spot somewhere around the flange of
the opening; cracking may not occur until pressure from
the high spot or obstruction becomes particularly high
due to winds, extremes of temperature, or rough terrain.

All hardware discussed in this procedure should be
supplied or available from the child seat manufacturer. Be
sure the child seat position does not conflict with any ad
ditional requirem ents provided by its manufacturer, or with
any recomm endations in the Child Restraint section of the
O w ner’s Manual.
The child seat may be used only in a forward facing
seating location.
PICKUP AND CREW CAB MODELS
1. Place the Child Seat in the front seating position (rear
seating position on crew cab models) (figure 27).
2. Secure the vehicle lap belt over the armrests of the
Child Seat in the position which the Child Seat will be
used.
3. Select a suitable anchor bracket mounting location on
the cab back panel. The location must be:
— Located near the rear window reinforcement.
The angle between the Child Seat top strap and
horizontal should not exceed 45°.
— As close to the center line of the Child Seat as
possible, but in no case more than 50 mm
(2-inches) towards the passenger side of the cab,
and 150 mm (6-inches) towards the drivers side
of the cab.
— In a position clear of the fuel tank, fuel lines,
brake lines, exhaust systems, etc.
4. Drill an 8 mm (5/ie-inch) diameter hole through the cab
panel at the selected location.
UTILITY VEHICLE
REAR SEAT
1. Determine the location for the anchor by measuring
140 mm (51/2-inches) forward from the rear edge of the
floor pan (figure 28). Make this measurement in the
center of one of the depressed floor pan ribs. Next,
measure 1330 mm (52.25-inches) inboard of the right
quarter inner panel. Mark the position where these
measurements meet.
2. Drill an 8 mm (5/ie-inch) hole at the mark.
3. To insure proper sealing of the hole, remove any dirt or
foreign matter from around the hole on the underside
of the floor pan where the sealer is to be applied.
NOTICE: See “ N o tice” on page 10A2-1 o f this
section.
4. Place sealer on the hole from the underside of the
vehicle and assembly the bolt (162), anchor plate (163),
washer (165), and lock nut (166) to the floor pan.
5. Tighten the nut to 31 N m (23 ft. lbs.). Use the Child
Seat only in the seating position for which the anchor
bracket has been installed.
NOTICE: In the event the Child Seat anchorage
assembly is removed, the 8 mm (s/i6 — inch)
diam eter hole must be properly resealed.
SUBURBAN FRONT SEAT
This procedure applies to vehicles not equipped with a
second seat or vehicles with the second seat in the down
position.
1. Determine the location for the anchor by measuring 51
mm (2-inches) rearward from the rear edge of the kick
up molding. Make this measurement in the center of
one of the depressed floor pan ribs (figure 29).
A. Measure 360 mm (14.6-inches) inboard of the
right quarter inner panel for the right seating
position.

G MODEL TOP STRAP BELT ANCHOR INSTALLATION
All hardware discussed in this procedure should be
supplied or available from the child seat manufacturer. Be
sure the child seat position does not conflict with any ad
ditional requirements provided by its manufacturer, or with
any recomm endations in the Child Restraint section of the
Ow ner’s manual.
The child seat may be used only in a forward facing
seating location.
Installation of top strap belts is not recommended in the
front passenger seat of “ G ” Vans. The second seat offset
which allows passenger entry does not position a second
seat lap belt within the recommended zone for attach
ment to the top strap hook. Also, a floor anchorage is
impractical since the top strap length is insufficient to di
rectly connect the restraint to the floor with high back
bucket seats.

WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT
When replacing a cracked windshield, it is important
that the cause of the crack be determ ined and the
condition corrected, before a new glass is installed. The
cause of the crack may be an obstruction or high spot
somewhere around the flange of the opening; cracking
may not occur until pressure from the high spot or
obstruction becomes p articularly high due to winds,
extremes of temperature, or rough terrain. Suggestions of
what to look for are described later in this section under
“ Inspection” .
If a crack extends to the edge of the glass, mark the
point where the crack meets the weatherstrip. (Use a
piece of chalk and mark the point on the cab, next to the
weatherstrip.) Later, when examining the flange of the
opening for a cause of the crack start at the point marked.
The higher the temperature of the work area, the more
pliable the weatherstrip will be. The more pliable the
weatherstrip, the more easily the w indshield can be
removed.
Remove or Disconnect (Figures 1 and 2)
CAUTION: Always wear heavy gloves when
handling glass to avoid the risk of injury.

INSPECTION
An inspection of the flange of the windshield opening,
the weatherstrip, and the glass may reveal the cause of a
broken windshield. This can help prevent future breakage.
If th e re is no a p p a re n t c a u s e o f b re a k a g e , th e
weatherstrip should be removed from the flange of the
opening and the flange inspected. Look for high weld or
solder spots, hardened spot weld sealer, or any other
o bstruction or irre g u la rity in the flange. C heck the
weatherstrip for irregularities or obstructions in it.
Check a windshield that is to be installed to make sure
it does not have any chipped edges. Chipped edges can
be ground off, restoring a smooth edge to the glass, and
m in im iz in g c o n c e n tra tio n s of p re ssu re th a t ca use
breakage. Remove no more than necessary, in an effort to
maintain the original shape of the glass and the proper
clearance between it and the flange of the opening. See
“ G lass-To-O pening C lea ra nce C h e c k ” later in th is
section.
GLASS-TO-OPENING CLEARANCE CHECK
Before installing a windshield, the clearance between
the edge of the glass and the flange of the opening
should be checked. On RV Models the glass and flange
overlap by 5 mm (0.2-inch). If the windshield is too big,
rework the metal flange or grind off the edge of the glass.
If the glass is to be ground off, place a strip of tape on the
glass and use the edge of the tape as a guide.
If there is too much clearance between the glass and
the flange of the opening, the flange can be built up.
Braze a piece of 3 mm (Ve-inch) diameter wire to the edge
of the flange. Usually, building up one side and half way
around one corner will be enough. Taper off the ends of
the wire to avoid an abrupt change in contour which could
result, later, in a broken windshield.
Rubber cleaner.
Rubber primer.
Pinchweld primer.
Blackout primer.
Filler strip (for use on windshield installations for
v e h ic le s e q u ip pe d w ith e m b edded w in d s h ie ld
antenna).
9. Primer applicators.
Other materials are required for windshield installation
which are not included in the service kit. These include:
1. GM Rubber lubricant No. 1051717.
2. Alcohol for cleaning the edge of the glass.
3. Adhesive dispensing gun J-24811 or
4. A standard household cartridge type gun reworked as
follows:
a. Widen the end slot to fit the diameter of the
dispensing nozzle of the adhesive tube.
b. Reduce the diameter of the plunger disc so that
the disc will enter the large end of the adhesive
tube.
5. Commercial type razor knife (for cutting along the edge
of the glass).
6 . Weatherstrip Tool J-2189-02.
W indshield installation requires a num ber of timed
steps because of the cure tim es involved with the primers,
solvents, and adhesives used in this procedure. This
tim ing is important and must be followed.

WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT
When replacing a cracked windshield, it is important
that the cause of the crack be determ ined and the
condition corrected, before a new glass is installed. The
cause of the crack may be an obstruction or high spot
somewhere around the flange of the opening; cracking
may not occur until pressure from the high spot or
obstruction becomes p articularly high due to winds,
extremes of temperature, or rough terrain. Suggestions of
what to look for are described later in this section under
“ Inspection” .
If a crack extends to the edge of the glass, mark the
point where the crack meets the weatherstrip. (Use a
piece of chalk and mark the point on the cab, next to the
weatherstrip.) Later, when examining the flange of the
opening for a cause of the crack start at the point marked.
The higher the temperature of the work area, the more
pliable the weatherstrip will be. The more pliable the
weatherstrip, the more easily the w indshield can be
removed.
NOTICE: When cleaning windshield glass, avoid
contacting the edge o f the plastic laminate
material (on the edge o f the glass) with volatile
cleaner. Contact may cause discoloration and
deterioration o f the plastic laminate by wicking
action. Do not use a petroleum based solvent
such as kerosene or gasoline. The presence of
oil will prevent adhesion o f new material.

• Use J-24709-1 or J-24402-A to cut the glass from
the urethane adhesive. Keep the cutting edge of
the knife against the glass, and cut the sealant
from the windshield.
• W ith the aid of an a ssistan t, remove the
windshield.
Two methods of glass replacement may be used. The
first of these methods is called the short method. This
method can be used when the original adhesive is left on
the window opening pinchweld flange after the glass has
been removed. The old adhesive serves as a base for the
new glass.
The second method, is the extended method. This is
used when the original adhesive cannot be used as a
base for the new glass. The original adhesive is removed
and replace with new adhesive. When repair to the sheet
m etal or w indow opening is required, the extended
method must be used.
INSPECTION
An inspection of the flange of the windshield opening,
the weatherstrip, and the glass may reveal the cause of a
broken windshield. This can help prevent future breakage.

GLASS POLISHING
MINOR SCRATCH AND ABRASION REMOVAL
M inor scratches and abrasions can be removed or
reduced by follow ing the procedure outlined below.
P re c a u tio n s m u st be ta k e n , how ever, to p re v e n t
distortions of vision; double vision may result if an attempt
is made to remove deep scratches. Deep scratches
should not be removed from an area in the driver’s line of
vision; in such cases, the glass should be replaced.
The procedure that follows was developed using a
cerium oxide compound. Follow m anufacturer’s directions
if other materials are used.
Recommended Equipment
1. A low speed (600-1300 rpm) rotary polisher.
2. A wool, felt, rotary polishing pad 76 mm (three-inches)
in diameter and 51 mm (two-inches) thick.
3. Powdered cerium oxide mixed with water. This is the
abrasive compound.
4. A w ide m outh c o n ta in e r to hold the a b rasive
compound.
Polishing Procedure (Figure 20)
1. Mix at least 44 ml (1.5 oz.) of cerium oxide with enough
water to obtain a creamy consistency. (If the mixture is
too thick it will cake on the felt pad more quickly. If it is
too runny, more polishing time will be needed.)
2. Draw a circle around the scratches on the opposite
side of the glass with a marking crayon, or equivalent.
3. Draw a line directly behind the scratch(es) to serve as
a guide for locating the scratch while polishing.
4. Cover the surrounding area with masking paper to
catch the drippings or spattered polish.
10A3-12 GLASS
5. Dip the felt pad attached to the polisher into the
mixture. Do not submerge the pad or allow the pad to
stay in the mixture as it may loosen the bond between
the pad and the metal plate.
NOTICE: Never hold the tool in one spot or
operate the tool on the glass any longer than 30
to 45 seconds. If the glass becomes hot to
touch, let it air cool before proceding further.
Cooling with c o ld w ater may crack heated
glass. Avoid excessive pressure. It may cause
overheating of the glass.
6. Polish the scratched area, but note the following:
a. Agitate the m ixture as often as needed to
m a in ta in th e cre a m y c o n s is te n c y o f the
compound.
b. Use moderate but steady pressure.
c. Hold the pad flat against the glass.
d. Use a feathering-out motion.
e. Dip the pad into the mixture every 15 seconds to
ensure that the wheel and the glass are always
wet during the polishing operation. (A dry pad
causes excessive heat to develop.)
f. Keep the pad free of dirt and other foreign
substances.
7. After removing the scratch, wipe the area clean of any
polish.
8. Clean the polishing pad.

FOREWORD
This service manual contains diagnosis, “ On-Vehicle” maintenance, and light repair for
Light Duty Truck Models (“ R-V, P-Truck, and G-Van” ). Fuel and emissions related compo
nents for throttle body injection vehicles are covered in a separate manual. Procedures
involving disassem bly and assembly of major components for these vehicles are published
in a separate “ Truck Unit Repair M anual.” W iring diagrams for these models are also
published in a separate “ Truck W iring Diagram” booklet.
This manual should be kept in a handy place for ready reference. If properly used, it will
meet the needs of technicians and vehicle owners.

CAUTION:
These vehicles contain some parts dim ensioned in the metric system as well as in the
customary system. Some fasteners are metric and are very close in dimension to fam iliar
custom ary fasteners in the inch system. It is important to note that, during any vehicle
maintenance procedures, replacement fasteners must have the same measurements and
strength as those removed, whether metric or customary. (Numbers on the heads of metric
bolts and on surfaces of metric nuts indicate their strength. Customary bolts use radial
lines for this purpose, while most custom ary nuts do not have strength markings.) Mis
matched or incorrect fasteners can result in vehicle damage or malfunction, or possibly
personal injury. Therefore, fasteners removed from the vehicle should be saved for re-use
in the same location whenever possible. Where the fasteners are not satisfactory for re
use, care should be taken to select a replacement that m atches the original. For informa
tion and assistance, see your authorized dealer.
CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION
General Motors Corporation
Detroit, Michigan
CAUTION
To reduce the chance of personal injury and/or property damage, the fo l
lowing instructions must be carefully observed.
Proper service and repair are important to the safety of the service techni
cian and the safe, reliable operation of all motor vehicles. If part replacement
is necessary, the part must be replaced with one of the same part number or
with an equivalent part. Do not use a replacement part of lesser quality.
The service procedures recommended and described in this service man
ual are effective methods of performing service and repair. Some of these
procedures require the use of tools specially designed for the purpose.
Accordingly, anyone who intends to use a replacement part, service pro
cedure or tool, which is not recommended by the vehicle manufacturer,
must first determine that neither his safety nor the safe operation of the
vehicle will be jeopardized by the replacement part, service procedure or
tool selected.
It is important to note that this manual contains various Cautions and No
tices that must be carefully observed in order to reduce the risk of personal
injury during service or repair, or the possibility that improper service or
repair may damage the vehicle or render it unsafe. It is also important to
understand that these ‘Cautions’ and ‘Notices’ are not exhaustive, because
it is impossible to warn of all the possible hazardous consequences that
might result from failure to follow these instructions.

OA-8 GENERAL INFORMATION
Any tim e a vehicl is lifted with a vehicle jack or a floor
jack, the wheels at the opposite end of the lifted end
should be chocked. Also, jack stands should be used to
provide support. When supporting the vehicle with jack
stands, the jack stands should be placed under the frame,
the front suspension crossm em ber or the axle.
When removing m ajor components of the vehicle while
the vehicle is on a hoist, the vehicle frame should be
chained to the hoist pads in order to prevent tip-off.
NOTICE: When jacking or lifting a vehicle, be
certain that the lift pads do not contact the
catalytic converter, brake lines, brake cables, or
fuel lines. Such contact may result in damage or
unsatisfactory vehicle performance.
EMERGENCY STARTING
YOUR VEHICLE DUE TO A
DISCHARGED BATTERY
If your vehicle will not start due to a discharged battery,
it can often be started by using energy from another
battery - a procedure called “ jum p starting.”
Should your vehicle have an optional diesel engine with
two batteries:
• P models and G Van models — use only the battery on
the driver’s side when jump starting.
• R/V models — use only the battery on the passenger’s
side when jump starting.
These battery locations are closer to the starter, thus
reducing electrical resistance. Ignore the second battery.
NOTICE: Do not push or tow this vehicle to start
it. Under some conditions this may damage the
catalytic converter or other parts of the vehicle.
Also, since this vehicle has a 12 volt battery, be
sure the vehicle or equipm ent used to jum p
start your engine is also 12 volt. Use of any
other type system may damage the vehicle’s
electrical components.
At low temperatures, it may not be possible to start your
diesel engine from a single battery in another vehicle.
However, you can use your vehicle to jum p start another
vehicle.
JUMP STARTING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Batteries produce explosive gases,
contain corrosive acid, and supply levels of
electrical current high enough to cause burns.
Therefore, to reduce the risk of personal injury
when working near a battery:
• Always shield your eyes and avoid leaning
over the battery whenever possible.
• Do not expose the battery to open flames
or sparks.
• Be sure any batteries that have filler caps
are properly filled with fluid.
• Do not allow battery acid to contact eyes
of skin. Flush any contacted area with
water immediately and throughly, and get
medical help.
• Follow each step in the jump starting
instructions.

1. Position the vehicle with the good (charged) battery so
that the booster (jumper) cables will reach, but never
let the vehicles touch. Also, be sure booster cables do
not have loose or missing insulation.
2. In both vehicles:
• Turn o ff th e ig n itio n and a ll lig h ts and
accessories except the hazard flasher or any
lights needed for the work area.
• Apply the parking brake firmly, and shift the
autom atic transm ission to Park (or manual
transmission to Neutral).
3. Making sure the cable clamps do not touch any other
metal parts, clamp one end of the first booster cable to
the positive ( + ) terminal on one battery, and the other
end to the positive terminal on the other battery (figure
12). Never connect ( + ) to (-).
4. Clamp one end of the second cable to the negative (-)
terminal of the good (charged) battery and make the
final connection to a heavy metal bracket (such as the
mounting bracket for the generator or air conditioner
compressor if so equipped) on the engine about 450
millimeters (18 inches) from the discharged battery.
Make sure the cables are not on or near pulleys, fans,
or other parts that will move when the engine is
started.
5. Start the engine of the vehicle with the good (charged)
battery and run the engine at a moderate speed for
several minutes. Then, start the engine of the vehicle
that has the discharged battery.
6. Remove the booster cables by reversing the above
installation sequence exactly. While removing each
clamp, take care it does not touch any other metal
while the other end remains attached.

Models are prim arily dim ensioned in the metric system.
Many fasteners are m etric and are very close in dim en
sion to well-known custom ary fasteners in the inch sys
tem. It is most important that replacement fasteners be of
the correct nominal diameter, thread pitch and strength.
the metric M6.0X1 screw which has nearly the same diam
eter and has 25.4 threads per inch. The thread pitch is in
between the custom ary coarse and fine thread pitches.
Original equipm ent metric fasteners (except “ beauty”
bolts, such as exposed bum per bolts, and cross recess
head screws) are identified by a number marking indica
ting the strength of the material in the fastener as outlined
later. Metric cross recess screws are identified by a Posi
driv or Type 1A shown in figure 14. Either a Phillips head
or Type 1A cross recess screwdriver can be used in Posi
driv recess screw heads, but Type 1A cross recess screw
drivers will perform better.
FASTENER STRENGTH
IDENTIFICATION
NOTICE: Most m etric fasteners have a blue
color coating. However, this should not be used
as positive identification as some fasteners are
not color coated.
General Motors Engineering Standards, along with
other North American Industries, have adopted a portion
of the standard metric fastener sizes defined by ISO (In
ternational Standards Organization). This was done to re
duce the num ber of fastener sizes used and yet retain the
best strength qualities in each thread size. For example,
the customary 1/4-20 and 1M-28 screws are replaced by
Metric and customary thread notation differ slightly. The
difference is shown in figure 15.
Most comm only used metric fastener strength property
classes are 9.8 and 10.9 with the class identification
embossed on the head of each bolt. Custom ary (inch)
strength classes range from grade 2 to 8 with radial line
identification embossed on each bolt head. M arkings
correspond to two lines less than the actual grade (i.e.
grade 7 bolt will exhibit 5 embossed radial lines on the
bolt head). Some metric nuts will be marked with single
digit strength identification numbers on the nut face.
Figure 14 shows the different strength markings.
When replacing metric fasteners, be careful to use bolts
and nuts of the same strength or greater than the original
fasteners (the same num ber marking or higher). It is
likewise important to select replacement fasteners of the
correct size. Correct replacement bolts metric fasteners
available in the aftermarket parts channels were designed
to metric standards of countries other than the United
States, and may be of a lower strength, may not have the
num bered head m arking system , and may be of a

M 12 x 1.75
PREVAILING TORQUE FASTENERS
A prevailing torque nut is designed to develop an
interference between the nut and bolt threads. This is
most often accom plished by distortion of the top of an
all-metal nut by using a nylon patch on the threads in the
middle of the hex flat. A nylon insert may also be used as
a method of interference between nut and bolt threads
(figure 16).
A prevailing torque bolt is designed to develop an
interference between bolt and nut threads, or the threads
of a tapped hole. This is accomplished by distorting some
of the threads or by using a nylon patch or adhesive
(figure 12).
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR REUSE:
1. Clean, unrusted prevailing torque nuts and bolts may
be reused as follows:
a. Clean dirt and other foreign material off the nut
or bolt.
b. Inspect the nut or bolt to insure there are no
cracks, elongation, or other signs of abuse or
overtightening. (If there is any doubt, replace
with a new prevailing torque fastener or equal or
greater strength).
c. Assemble the parts and hand start the nut or
bolt.
d. Observe that, before fastener seats, it develops
torque per the chart in figure 10 (if there is any
doubt, replace with a new prevailing torque
fastener of equal or greater strength).
e. Tighten the fastener to the torque specified in the
appropriate section of this manual.
2. Bolts and nuts which are rusty or damaged should be
replaced with new parts or equal or greater strength.

1A-2 HEATING
R/V AND G SERIES HEATERS-DESCRIPTION
Heating com ponents are attached to the right side of
the cowl. The blower and air inlet assembly and water
hoses are located on the forward side of the cowl panel
while the heater core and distributor duct are on the pas
senger side.
The heater system is an air-mix type system in which
outside air is heated and then mixed in varying amounts
with cooler outside air to attain the desired air tempera
ture. The system consists of (1) a blower and air inlet as
sembly, (2) a heater distributor assembly and (3) a heater
control assembly.
BLOWER AND AIR INLET
ASSEMBLY
The blower and air inlet assembly draws outside air
through the outside air inlet grille located forward of the
windshield reveal m olding and channels the air into the
heater distributor assembly. The operation of the blower
motor is controlled by the fan switch on the heater control.
The motor is connected in series with the fan switch and
the blower resistor assembly.
HEATER DISTRIBUTOR
ASSEMBLY
The heater distributor assem bly houses the heater core
and the doors necessary to control mixing and channeling
of the air. Since the unit has no water valve, water
circulation keeps the core hot at all times. That portion of
the air passing through the core receives m axim um heat
from the core. A ir entering the distributor assembly is
channeled as follows:
Air entering the distributor can be directed out the
purge door opening on the right end of the distributor
assembly by the temperature door. If the temperature
door is closed, air is directed through and/or around the
heater core by the temperature door. Air is then directed
into the passenger com partm ent through the heater (floor)
outlets and/or the defroster (dash) outlets by the defroster
door. The temperature of the outlet air is dependent on
the ratio of heated to unheated air (controlled by the
temperature door).

R/V SERIES AUXILIARY HEATER
DESCRIPTION
An auxiliary heater provides additional heating capacity
for the rear of the Suburban model.
T his unit operates in d ep en d en tly of the standard
heater, and is regulated through its own controls at the
instrum ent panel.
This system consists of a separate core and fan unit
mounted in the rear of the vehicle.
Heater hoses extend from the unit to the front of the
vehicle where they are connected to the standard heater
hoses with “ tees.” An “ on-off” vacuum operated valve is
installed in the heater core inlet line in the engine
compartm ent. This valve cuts off coolant flow to the
auxiliary core during warm weather and elim inates radiant
heat (figure 18).
Two control methods are used:
COOLANT-CONTROL VALVE
When heat is desired, and the blower switch is any
position except off, a vacuum operated valve controlled by
the switch, opens the coolant line to perm it hot coolant
circulation through the heater core. In the OFF position
the valve is closed to prevent unwanted heat.
BLOWER SWITCH
The th re e-sp ee d blow er sw itch is loca te d in the
instrum ent panel to the right of the steering column.

HEATER HOSE ROUTING
Heater hoses are routed from the therm ostat housing or
in le t m a n ifo ld and w a te r p u m p (ra d ia to r on som e
automatic transm ission vehicles) to the core inlet and
outlet pipes. Hoses are a ttached at each end with
screw-type clamps. (Refer to figures 20, 21 and 22).
REPLACEMENT
W hen replacing heater hoses, m aintain a 13 mm
(1/2-inch) m inimum clearance between the hose clip and
the upper control arm, a 38 mm (11/2-inch) minimum
clearance between the hoses and the propshaft, and a 32
mm (11/4-inch) m inimum clearance between the auxiliary
heater core lines and the exhaust pipe.
The heater core can be dam aged near the tube
attachm ent seams if force is applied on them . If the
heater hoses do not come off, cut the hoses forward of
the core tubes. Cut the hose on the core tubes to remove.
Im portant
Draw hoses tight to prevent sagging or rubbing against
other components. Route hoses through all clamps as
installed originally.

DESCRIPTION
An auxiliary heater provides additional heating for the
rear area of the vehicle.
It operates independently of the standard heater, and is
regulated through its own control at the instrum ent panel.
This system consists of a separate core fan vent
(figures 27 and 28).
Heater hoses extend from the unit to the front of the
vehicle where they are connected to the standard heater
hoses with “ tees.”
There are two control methods:
COOLANT-CONTROL VALVE
An “ o n-off” vacuum -operated, coolant-control valve
in s ta lle d in th e h e a te r c o re in le t in th e e n g in e
com partm ent controls coolant flow to the auxiliary heater
and elim inates radiant heat during warm weather. To
d ia g n o s e th e v a c u u m

CONDITIONING (SEC. 1B).
BLOWER SWITCH
For heating, the blower switch is placed in any position
except off. The switch opens the coolant-control valve
which permits hot coolant to enter the heater core. In the
OFF position, the valve is closed to prevent unwanted
heat during warm weather.

CCOT A/C SYSTEM
During cooling, the air is cooled by the evaporator to
below comfort level then warmed by the heater to the
d e s ire d te m p e ra tu re . D u rin g “ h e a tin g o n ly ” th e
evaporator does not operate, and ambient air is warmed
to the desired level in the same manner.
The CCOT (Cycling Clutch Orifice Tube) A/C system
perform s heating and cooling. Air enters the vehicle and
passes through the cooling unit (evaporator) and through
(or around) the heating unit. The system is called a
“ reheat” system. The evaporator cools the air passing
through the core when the air conditioning system is in
the cooling mode.
On R/V and G series, a pressure sensing switch,
lo ca te d n ear the top of the a ccu m u la to r, c o n tro ls
compressor operation. The switch responds to pressure
changes to turn the compressor ON or OFF.
REAR INTERIOR ROOF
MOUNTED SYSTEMS
(SUBURBAN & G SERIES)
These systems operate with the front system - they do
not operate independently. However, control of the rear
System operation:
Outside air or recirculated air enters the system and is
forced through the system by the blower. As the air
passes throught he evaporator core, it receives maximum
cooling if the air conditioning controls are positioned for
cooling.
From the evaporator, the air enters the heater and air
conditioner selector duct assembly where, by means of
diverter doors, it passes through or bypasses the heater
core in proportions necessary to provide the desired
outlet temperature. The air enters the vehicle through
either the floor distributor duct or the dash outlets.

the evaporator core into the passenger compartm ent
through the air distributor duct. The front system controls
the rear system. A three-speed blower switch controls the
rear interior roof mounted system.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
THERMOSTATIC EXPANSION VALVE
Suburban and G rear interior roof mounted and motor
home chassis systems use a therm ostatic expansion
valve (figure 1).
The valve co n sists of the pow er e lem ent, body,
actuating pins, seat and orifice. At the high pressure
liquid inlet, a fine mesh screen prevents dirt, filings or
other foreign matter from entering the valve orifice.
When the valve is connected in the system, high
pressure liquid refrigerant enters the valve through the
screen from the receiver-dehydrator or condenser and
passes on to the seat and orifice where it changes into a
low pressure liquid.
The low pressure liquid leaves the valve and flows into
the evaporator core where it absorbs heat from the
evaporator core and changes to a low pressure vapor and
leaves the evaporator core. The power element bulb is
clamped to the low pressure vapor line just beyond the
outlet of the evaporator.
ACCUMULATOR R/V & G SERIES
The accum ulator is located at the evaporator outlet. It
separates liquid retained from vapor, retains the liquid and
releases the vapor to the compressor (figure 2).
Flow from the accum ulator to the compressor consists
of vapor, entrained liquid and liquid flow through the oil
bleed hole.
A bag of desiccant (dehydrating agent), located in the
accumulator, collects moisture.
There is no sight glass in the accum ulator with the
CCOT system.
ORIFICE (EXPANSION TUBE) R/V & G SERIES
P ressure d iffe re n c e s and su b -co o lin g d ete rm ine s
expansion tube flow. The o rifice is located in the
evaporator inlet line (figure 3).
CYCLING PRESSURE SWITCH
This switch controls evaporator temperature. It cycles
th e c o m p re s s o r c lu tc h o ff w h e n th e e v a p o ra to r
temperature gets too low. It cycles the compressor back
on after evaporator tem perature has increased (figure 4).

T he c y c lin g p re s s u re s w itc h p ro v id e s in h e re n t
compressor protection so a separate low pressure switch
is not necessary. The switch also acts as an ambient
switch since at ambient freezing temperatures it will not
allow the compressor to engage. Adjusting the set screw
one-half turn left or right will rise or lower the settings 20.7
kPa (3 psi).

REFRIGERANT-12 OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
SYSTEM COMPONENTS,
TEMPERATURE AND
PRESSURE RELATIONSHIPS
To review system components and Refrigerant-12 flow,
refer to figure 9.
To find the pressure and tem perature relationship
between Refrigerant-12 and atmospheric pressure, refer
to figure 10.
REFRIGERANT AND OIL CAPACITY
The refrigerant system requires refrigerant and oil in
quantities listed:
1. Refrigerant-12 —
C60 System
R/V M o d e ls ............................ 1.588 Kg (3 lbs. 8 ozs.)
G M odels.................................1.588 Kg (3 lbs. 8 ozs.)
Rear In te rio r S ystem
RA?- M o d e ls ............................ 2.381 Kg (5 lbs. 4 ozs.)
G M od els.................................2.041 Kg (4 lbs. 8 ozs.)
2. 525 Viscosity Oil — 0.284 Kg (10 oz.).
HANDLING REFRIGERANT-12
A ir co nditioning system s contain Refrigerant-12, a
c h e m ica l w hich requires sp ecial h an dling to avoid
personal injury.
Always wear goggles and wrap a clean cloth around
fittin g s , valves and co n n e ctio n s when o pening the
system. Work in a ventilated area and do not weld or
steam clean near air conditioning lines or components.
Refrigerant-12 drums are shipped with a metal screw
cap that protects the valve and safety plug from damage.
Replace the cap after each use.
Do not carry a co nta ine r of Refrigerant-12 in the
passenger compartment of a vehicle. Never subject any
container to high temperatures. Do not breathe the smoke
or fumes produced by burning Refrigerant-12.
If R e frig e ra n t-1 2 to u c h e s e xp o se d fle sh do th e
following:
• Treat the area as if it were frost bitten or frozen.
• Call a doctor or eye specialist and obtain treatment.
• DO NOT RUB THE EYE. Splash the area with cold
water to raise temperature above the freezing point.
• Use an antiseptic oil to provide a protective film over
the eyeball to reduce the possibility of infection.
HANDLING OF REFRIGERANT
LINES AND FITTINGS
Tighten tubing connections to the specified torque
(figure 11). Insufficient or excessive torque causes loose
joints or deformed joint parts. Either condition can cause
refrigerant leakage.
• All metal tubing lines should be free of dents or
kinks to prevent loss of system capacity due to a line
restriction.
• Never bend a flexible hose line to a radius of less
than 4 times the diameter of the hose.
• Never place a flexible hose line closer than 65 mm
(2 1/2-inch) to the exhaust manifold.
• Inspect flexible hose lines regularly for leaks or
brittleness and replace if necessary.
• When disconnecting any fitting in the refrigeration
system discharge the system. However proceed with
caution. Open slowly. Keep face and hands away to
prevent injury if there is liquid Refrigerant-12 in the
line. Allow any pressure to bleed off as described
under “ Discharging, Evacuating, Adding Oil And
Charging And Discharging The System .”
• Cap or tape any line open to atmosphere to prevent
dirt and moisture from entering the system.
• Use proper wrenches when making connections on
seal (o-ring) fittings. Use two wrenches to prevent
distorting the lines or components.
• When connecting the flexible hose connections,
hold the swaged fittin g , the flare nut and the
coupling at the same time using three different
w re n c h e s to p re v e n t tu rn in g th e fittin g and
damaging the ground seat.
• Use seals (o-rings) in good condition. A burr or
piece of dirt may cause a leak.
• Replace the seal when a connection has been
broken. When replacing the seal first dip it in clean
525 viscosity refrigeration oil.
• When making steel to aluminum connections, use
the torque for aluminum tubing. (Refer to figure 11).
MAINTAINING CHEMICAL
STABILITY
T he e ffic ie n t o p e ra tio n of th e a ir c o n d itio n in g
refrigeration system is dependent upon the chemical
stability of Refrigerant-12.
F o re ig n m a tte r ca n c h a n g e th e s ta b ility of
R efrige ran t-12 , ca use c o rro s io n and wear. Do the
following:
1. Before disco nn ectin g a refrigerant connection,
remove dirt or oil at and near the connection. Cap or
plug both sides of the connection.
2. Keep tools clean and dry.
3. When adding 525 viscosity refrigerant oil (refer to
ADDING O IL in the D ischa rg ing , E vacuating,
Adding Oil and Charging Procedures for CCOT A/C
systems), the transfer device and container should
be clean and dry.
4. Have everything ready before opening a line. Do not
leave the A/C system open longer than necessary.
5. After opening, evacuate before recharging with
R efrigerant-12 a ccordin g to the “ D ischarging,
Evacuating, Adding Oil, Charging And Discharging
The System .”
6. Service parts are dehydrated and seated before
shipping. Open just before making connections.
Keep at room temperature before uncapping (this
prevents moisture from entering the system). If the
connections are not made, reseal the parts.

REFRiGERANT - 12
PRESSURE - TEMPERATURE
RELATIONSHIP
The table below indicates the pressure of Refriger
ant - 12 at various temperatures. For instance, a
drum of Refrigerant at a temperature of 26.6°C
(80°F) will have a pressure of 579.9 kPa (84.1 psi).
If it is heated to 51.6°C (125°F), the pressure will
increase to 1 154.9 kPa (167.5 psi). It also can be
used conversely to determine the temperature at
which Refrigerant - 12 boils under various pres
sures. For example, at a pressure of 207.5 kPa
(30.1 psi), Refrigerant - 12 boils at 0°C (32°F).

LEAK TESTING THE
REFRIGERANT SYSTEM
J-29547—AUTO BALANCE REFRIGERANT
LEAK DETECTOR
Electronic circuitry detects refrigerant or halogen gas
leaks as small as 1/2 oz. per year. J-29547 features a
slide-type on-off sw itch that also resets the unit in
contaminated areas.
Audible and visual leak detection is provided by a
change in signal tone and flashing LED built into the 45.7
cm (18-inch) flexible probe. A 102 cm (40-inch) coiled
extension permits detection in hard to reach places.
A green LED battery life monitor glows to indicate
sufficient operating voltage when the unit is on. Field
service is possible with replacement tips, filters and a
sensing element which can be cleaned with common
solvent.
PRESSURE SENSING SWITCH
A pressure sensing switch located near the top of the
accumulator, cycles the compressor clutch on R/V and G
series systems. The switch also shuts off the compressor
clutch when there is a low refrigerant charge.
The A/C system does not have to be discharged to
replace the switch. The pressure switch fitting is equipped
with a schrader-type valve.
W hen replacing the switch, use a new oiled seal
(o-ring), and torque to 10 N-m (90 in. lbs.).
Refer to the following trouble shooting charts:

tional Test.” For electrical wiring and vacuum diagrams,
refer to figures 17, 18, 19, and 20.
Ports on rotary vacuum valves are illustrated to provide
simplicity in following vacuum schematic lines but are
numbered in consecutive order on the actual valve.
OPERATIONAL TEST
To determine if the electrical, vacuum and refrigeration
systems are operating efficiently, do the following:
1. Operate the blower at four speeds and check the
compressor clutch engagem ent. This indicates that
the electrical circuits are working.
2. Check the hand felt temperature of the evaporator
inlet pipe and accum ula tor surface. The same
temperature indicates a properly charged system.
3. Operate the A/C control selector (mode) lever to
distribute air from the outlets. This will check the
vacuum and diaphragm function.

VACUUM SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
R/V AND G SERIES
Start the engine and allow it to idle. Move the selector
lever to each position and refer to the vacuum diagrams
and operational charts for airflow, air door functioning and
vacuum circuits. If air flow is not out of the proper outlet at
each selector lever position do the following:
L*
Inspect
1. The hose connections at the vacuum actuators,
control head valve and vacuum tank.
2. The vacuum source circuit:
• Install a vacuum tee and gage (with restrictor) at the
vacuum tank outlet. Idle the engine and read the
vacuum (a normal vacuum is equivalent to manifold
vacuum) at all selector lever positions.
• Vacuum less than normal at all positions.
Remove the tee and connect the vacuum gage line
to the tank - read the vacuum. If still low, then the
problem lies in the feed circuit, the feed circuit to the
tank or in the tank itself. If vacuum is now normal,
then the problem lies downstream.
• Vacuum less than normal at some positions.
If vacuum was low at one or several of the selector
lever positions, a leak is indicated in these circuits.
• Vacuum normal at all positions.
If vacuum was normal and even at all positions, then
the m alfunction may be caused by im p rop erly
connected or plugged lines or a m alfunctioning
vacuum valve or valves.
3. Specific vacuum circuit check:
• Place the selector lever in the m alfu nctio nin g
position and check for vacuum at the pertinent
vacuum actuators.
• If vacuum exists at the actuator but the door does
not move, then the actuator is defective or the door
is jammed.
• If low or no vacuum exits at the actuator determine
whether the cause is the vacuum harness or the
vacuum valve.
• Check the vacuum harness first.
4. Vacuum harness circuit check:
• Disconnect the vacuum harness at the control head.
• The black line should show engine vacuum; if not,
trace back through connector to vacuum tank.
• To check any individual circuit, place the selector
lever at the involved circuit position and check for
vacuum presence.
EVACUATING AND CHARGING PROCEDURES
EVACUATION AND
CHARGING PROCEDURES
Before opening any refrigerant hose or component,
read the information furnished in:
• Refrigerant-12 Operating Characteristics.
• Discharging, Evacuating, Adding Oil and Charging.
Remove sealing caps from subassem blies before
m aking connections for final assembly. Use a small
amount of clean 525 viscosity refrigerant oil on all tube
and hose joints.
Use new seal (o-ring) dipped in the clean 525 viscosity
refrigerant oil when assembling joints. The oil will aid in
assembly and help provide a leak-proof joint.
When tightening joints, use a second wrench to hold
the stationary part of the connection.
Tighten all tubing connections (figure 11). Insufficient or
excessive torque can cause loose joints or deformed joint
parts. Either condition can cause leakage.
DISCHARGING, EVACUATING
ADDING OIL AND
CHARGING PROCEDURES
Discharge, evacuate and charge using J-23500-01 air
conditioning service Charging Station or the J-5725-04
Manifold Gage Set, and 0.397 kg. (14 oz.) disposable
cans of Refrigerant-12 (figures 21 and 22).
Use gage adapters to connect the charging lines from
the charging station or manifold and gage set to system
service fittings. A straight gage Adapter J-5420 and a 90°
angle gage Adapter J-9459 is available.
Wear goggles and wrap a clean cloth around fittings
and connections.
• D is c h a rg e th e sys te m b e fo re re m o v in g
replacing refrigeration lines or components.
and
• Use the service valve and pressure gage sets during
evacuation and charging procedures.
• Do not charge while the compressor system is hot.
• Always discharge the system at the low side service
fitting and perform the evacuation and charging
procedure through the low side service fitting.
• Do not connect the high pressure line or any line to
the high side service fitting during discharging and
charging procedures.
CAUTION: Never remove a gage line from its
adapter when the line is connected to the A/C
system. Always remove the line adapter from
the service fitting to disconnect a line. Do not
rem ove ch argin g hose at gage set w h ile
attached to service low side fitting. This will
discharge the system due to the depressed
schrader valve in service low side fitting and
may cause personal injury due to escaping

1. Discharge at the low side service fitting.
2. With the ignition turned OFF, remove the protective
cap from LOW SIDE service fitting and connect
Charging Station J-23500-01 Gage Set. (Refer to
figure 21).
a. If charging station J-23500-01 is not being

discharge from the system into the container. If
no discharge occurs, check for missing or
defective schrader depressor in the hose
fitting.
3. With the low side of the system discharged, check
the high side system fitting (on the liquid line or
muffler) for rem aining pressure.
4. If pressure is found, attempt to discharge the high
side using the same procedure as used for the low
side. (This condition indicates a restriction on the
high side. Diagnose and correct before evacuating
and charging).

EVACUATING AND CHARGING
Before charging, evacuate the system if Refrigerant-12
is lost or if the system has been opened.
Evacuation and charging is a combined procedure.
Purge all gage lines with Refrigerant-12 before charging.
There are three standard Refrigerant-12 evacuate and
charge procedures:
• J-23500-01 Charging Station Method
• Disposable Can Method
• Drum Method

1B-26 AIR CONDITIONING
GAGE CALIBRATION
Before evacuation, check the low pressure gage for
p ro p e r c a lib ra tio n and vacuum system fo r p ro p e r
o p e ra tio n . W ith th e g a g e d is c o n n e c te d from the
refrigeration system, be sure that the pointer indicates to
the center of “ 0.” Tap the gage to be sure the pointer is
not sticking. If necessary, calibrate as follows:
• Remove the cover from the gage.
• Holding the gage pointer adjusting screw with
one hand, carefully force the pointer in the
proper direction to position the pointer at the
“ 0 ” position. Tap the gage to be sure the
pointer is not sticking. Replace the gage cover.
VACUUM SYSTEM CHECK
Before connecting the vacuum pump to the A/C system
run the pump connected to the low pressure gage to
determine the vacuum pump capability. If the vacuum
system is unable to reach 711.2 - 736.6 mm (28 to 29
inches) or more vacuum check for leaks. If no leaks are
found check the vacuum pump.
CHARGING STATION METHOD
Follow the J-23500-01 Charging Station instructions.
Use with the following exceptions:
1. Do not connect the high pressure line to the air
conditioning system.
2. Keep the high pressure valve on the charging
station closed.
3. P erform th e e vacu ate and ch arge p ro c e d u re
through the accum ulator low side pressure service
fitting.
4. Following these procedures will prevent high side
pressure from dam aging the charging station if an
error is made during the sequence.
DISPOSABLE CAN OR
MULTI-CAN METHOD
Tools Required:
J-6271-01 Single Can Refrigerant Dispensing Valve
J-6272-02 Four Can Refrigerant Dispensing Valve
1. Use tool J-6271-01 for single can or m ulti-can
dispensing unit.
2. Use tool J-6272-02 multi-can open valve. When
using disposable cans, close the tapping valve and
then attach the can(s) following the instructions
included with the tapping valve or tapping manifold
adapter.
REFRIGERANT DRUM METHOD
Tool required:
J-23390 Refrigerant Dispensing Valve
1. Use tool J-23390 for a 5.443 kg (12 lb.) can. A 13.608
kg (30 lb.) can has a built in opener-valve. Place the
drum on a scale and note weight before charging.
During charging, watch the scale to determine the
amount used.
Im portant
• C lo s e th e o u tle t v a lv e on th e o p e n e r
(clockwise) before installing the opener to the
R-12 container.
• To evacuate the A/C system install Manifold
Gage Set and Vacuum Pump.
• SLOWLY open high and low side gage
v a lv e s a nd b e g in v a c u u m p u m p
operation. Pump the system until the low
side gage reaches 459 - 475 mm (28 to
29 inches of mercury [vacuum]) or more.
The evacuation procedure will specify 459 475 mm (28 to 29 inches) of mercury at sea
level. For each 304.8 mm (1,000 ft.) above sea
level, lower the specification by one inch of
vacuum. At 1524 mm (5,000) feet elevation
only 376.9 mm (23 to 24 inches) of vacuum is
required.
If the prescribed m ercury (vacuum) cannot be
reached, close the vacuum control valve, shut
off the pum p and look for a leak at the
connections or the pump.
2. When the gage reaches the prescribed vacuum, the
system is evacuated. Close the high side gage set
valve and turn OFF the vacuum pump.
3. Watch the low side gage to be sure vacuum holds
for five minutes. If the vacuum holds, disconnect the
vacuum hose at the gage set and then proceed to
charging.
4. If the vacuum does not hold for five minutes, charge
the system with 0.227 kg. (8 ounces) Refrigerant-12
and leak check. Discharge the system again and
repair any leaks. Repeat the evacuation procedure.
CHARGING THE SYSTEM
1. Start the engine, run with the choke open and the
fast idle speed reduced to normal idle, set the A/C
control lever on OFF.
2. W ith the drum or 0.397 kg (14 ounces) can(s)
inverted, open source valve(s) and allow 0.454 Kg
(one (1) pound) or more 0.397 kg (14 ounces) can of
liquid Refrigerant-12 to enter the system through low
side service fitting on accumulator.
3. When one 0.454 Kg (1 pound) or one 0.397 kg (14
ounces) can of liquid Refrigerant-12 enters the
system, engage the compressor by setting the A/C
control lever to NORM and blower speed on HI to
draw in the remainder of the charge.
To speed Up the operation, use a fan to pass air over
the condenser. If the condenser temperature remains
below the charging cylinder temperature, Refrigerant-12
will enter the system faster.
4. Shut off the source valve and run the engine for 30
seconds to clear lines and gages.
5. With the engine running, remove the charging low
side hose adapter from the accum ulator service
fitting. Unscrew rapidly to prevent Refrigerant-12
from escaping.
AIR CONDITIONING 1B-27
CAUTION: Never remove a gage line from its
adapter when the line is connected to the A/C
system. Always remove the line adapter from
the service fitting to disconnect a line. Do NOT
remove the charging hose at the gage set while
it is attached to the accumulator. This will
discharge the system because of the depressed
schrader valve in service low side fitting. Also,
th e e sc a p in g R e frig e ra n t-1 2 may cause
personal injury.
6. Replace the protective cap on the accum ulator
fitting.
7. Turn the engine off.
8. Leak the check system with a J-6084 Leak Detector.
9. Start the engine.
10. With the system charged and leak-checked, operate
the system and test for pressures as outlined under
R e la tive H um idity, T em p eratu re and P ressure
Relationship of Refrigerant-12 (figure 10).
ACCUMULATOR ASSEMBLY
The accum ulator assem bly has a service replacement
which includes two seals (o-rings for the inlet and outlet
connections). The desiccant is NOT serviced separately it is part of the sealed accum ulator assembly. Refer to
CCOT Refrigerant Oil and Distribution for presence of
refrigerant oil and service conditions when removing the
accum ulator from the vehicle to measure the oil.
Replace the accum ulator assembly when:
1. A physical perforation prduces a leak.
2. The (o rifice ) screen e xpe rie nce s co n tin u e d or
repeated plugging.
3. An evaporator fails because of inside-out internal
corrosion.
DO NOT REPLACE the accum ula tor assem bly
where:
1. A dent is found in the outer shell of the accumulator.
2. A vehicle is involved in a collision and there is no
perforation to the accum ulator. Cap or place a
plastic bag around an open refrigerant line.
SPECIFIC COMPONENT DIAGNOSIS
COMPRESSOR
Com pressor defects can appear as noise, seizures,
leakage or low discharge pressures.
N O TIC E: R esonant c o m p res so r noises are
normal; however, irregular noise or rattles may
indicate broken parts or wear. To check seizure,
de-energize the magnetic clutch and rotate the
d riv e p la te . If ro ta tio n is im p o s s ib le the
compressor is seized.
To ch eck for a leak, refer to “ Leak Testing The
Refrigerant System.” A faulty internal seal, a restriction or
an in s u ffic ie n t re frig e ra n t ch arge can cause a low
discharge pressure. Check before servicing.
1. Valve stuck open.
— Noisy compressor.
— No cooling - freeze up.
2. Valve stu ck c lo se d , broken pow er e le m e n t or
plugged screen.
— Very low suction pressure.
—- No cooling.
3. Poorly located power element bulb.
— Normal pressure.
— Poor cooling.
DIAGNOSIS FOR MALFUNCTIONING VALVE
CONDENSER
A condenser may leak or be restricted. A restriction will
cause excessive compressor discharge pressure. If a
partial restriction is present, ice or frost will form after the
restriction as the refrigerant expands after passing
through the restriction.
Air flow restrictions through the condenser or radiator
can cause high discharge pressures. During normal
condenser operation, the outlet pipe will be cooler than
the inlet pipe.
EXPANSION VALVE
There are five expansion valve malfunctions: valve
stuck open, valve stuck closed, broken power element, a
restricted screen or an improperly located or installed
power element bulb. To correct the first three conditions,
replace the valve; to correct the last two, replace the valve
inlet screen and properly install a power element bulb.
Operating the system will indicate valve trouble.
U se th e fo llo w in g
malfunctioning valve.
p ro c e d u re
to
d e te rm in e
a
1. Operate the system at normal idle. If the valve is
m a lfu n c tio n in g , th e low p re s s u re re a d in g s
(evaporator pressure) will be above specifications
(figure 10).
2. The loss of system performance is not as evident
when the compressor head pressure is below 1379
kPa (200 psi). Increase the system head pressure by
partially blocking the condenser. Disconnect the
b lo w e r lead w ire and o p e ra te th e syste m to
d e te rm in e if th e e v a p o ra to r p re ssu re can be
obtained.
EVAPORATOR
An inade qu a te su p p ly of cool air can cause the
evaporator to m alfunction. Check for a plugged core, a
cracked case or a leaking seal.
1B-28 AIR CONDITIONING
REFRIGERANT LINE
RESTRICTIONS
There are three refrigerant line restrictions:
1. Suction Line - A restriction will cause low suction
pressure at the compressor, low discharge pressure
and little or no cooling.
2. D isch a rg e Lin e - A re s tric tio n w ill ca use the
pressure relief valve to open.
3. Liquid Line - A restriction will be caused by low
discharge and suction pressure, and insufficient
cooling.
REFRIGERANT-11 FLUSHING
PROCEDURE
Tool Required:
J-33883 Air Conditioning Flushing Kit
Flush the system when:
1. A compressor has failed resulting in debris in the air
conditioning system refrigerant components or oil.
2. Inspection of the orifice tube shows the inlet screen
to be 25% or more coated with debris.
3. Refrigerant oil is overcharged or contaminated.
Follow the kit’s instructions and flush each component
separately allowing the Refrigerant-11 to soak in each
component for five minutes.
Flushing the system requires approximately 6.804 kg
(15 lbs.) of R-11 and 1.814 (4 lbs.) of R-12 and up to 0.312
kg (11 oz.) of 525 viscosity refrigerant oil. The actual
quantities of R-11, R-12 and oil depends on the system,
the number of components flushed and the amount of
debris in each component.
Remove Refrigerant-11 by purging each components
with Refrigerant-12 followed by a system evacuation.
Refer to “ On-Vehicle Service” for removal procedures
for the system ’s com ponents. Cap or plug all open
connections when removing the components.

model will be found in the underbody portion of this
section.
Proper frame alignm ent is important to assure normal
life and functioning of many other parts of the vehicle. If
the vehicle has been involved in a fire, collision, or has
been overloaded, there is cause to check the frame
a lig n m e n t. If, fo r any o th e r re a so n , a lig n m e n t is
suspected it should be checked. A procedure for this is
described later in this section under “ Checking Frame
Alignm ent.”
It is possible that certain conditions make the frame
appear to be out of alignm ent when, in fact, it is not.
These conditions are also described under “ Checking
Frame Alignm ent.”
Terms used later in this section are briefly defined
below:
1. SECTION MODULUS—This is a measure of the
strength of a frame, based on height, width, thickness
and shape of the side rails. It does not account for the
strength of the material used in the frame.
2. YIELD STRENGTH—This is a measure of the strength
of the material from which the frame is made. It is the
maximum load measured in kPa (psi) that can be
placed on a material and still have it return to its
original shape.
3. RESISTANCE TO BENDING MOMENT (RBM)—This is
a single measure of frame strength that accounts for
both the section modulus and the strength of the
material used. It is the product of section modulus and
yield strength.
4. SAG—This refers to a frame or side rail that is bent
down from where it should be.
5. BUCKLE—This refers to a frame or side rail that is
bent up from where it should be.
6. DIAMOND—This refers to the condition where one
entire frame rail is moved forward from, or to the rear
of, its correct alignment with the other rail.
7. TWIST—This refers to the condition where the entire
frame has been twisted. One rail will basically slope up
while the other rail will basically slope down.
8. SIDESWAY—This refers to a side rail that is bent to the
side of where it should be.
9. TRACKING—This refers to the alignment of the vehicle
axles with each other. A misaligned frame can cause
improper tracking. If the vehicle is tracking correctly, all
axles will be parallel to each other and perpendicular
to the center line of frame.
10. WEB—The vertical part of a channel-type frame rail.

MINIMIZING FRAME SERVICE
CHECKING FRAME ALIGNMENT
G e n e ra lly , fra m e s e rv ic e can be m in im iz e d or
eliminated by m inimizing the concentration of stress in
small areas of the frame.
1. Vehicles should be used only for those purposes for
which they were designed.
• They should not be overloaded.
• They should be loaded evenly; localized loads
should be avoided.
• Do not operate the vehicle on extremely rough
terrain.
• Take into account the forces that will be placed
on a frame from the operation of equipment such
as snow plows when picking a frame for a new
vehicle or reinforcing a frame.
2. Follow recommended practices when repairing a frame
or when mounting a body or equipment on a frame.
• Avoid sudden changes in the section modulus.
• Do not drill holes in the frame rail flanges.
• Space holes in the web section of a rail at least
13 mm (1/2-inch) from one another.
• Use existing holes whenever possible.
• Do not cut holes with a torch.
• Do not overheat the frame rails.
• Avoid welding on the flanges.
• Do not allow four or more holes to exist on the
same vertical line of the web.
• Holes made in a reinforcement should be placed
a distance of at least two times the material
thickness from the edge of the reinforcement.
The main parts of a fram e are the side rails and
c ro s s m e m b e rs . T he ra ils c a rry th e load and th e
crossmembers stabilize the rails.
Types of fram e m isalignm ent can be divided into five
groups. The five groups are sag, buckle, diam ond,
sidesways, and twist. For a brief definition of these terms,
refer to “ Description” at the beginning of this section.
A misaligned frame rail may have moved forward from,
up or down from, or to the side of where it should be.
These possibilities must be checked.
The easiest way to check fram e alignm ent is with gages
made for this purpose. Detailed instructions are normally
supplied with gages at the tim e of purchase. Therefore,
instructions for gage use are not given in this manual.
It is p ossible to ch eck c e rta in p o rtio n s of fram e
alignm ent w ithout the proper gages. The procedure is
described later in this section.
W hether alignm ent is checked with or w ithout gages,
the vehicle must be parked on a level section of floor.
Certain conditions call for prelim inary checks before
actually checking the frame. Suspension or axle problems
may make it appear that the vehicle frame is out of
a lig n m e n t. If an a xle has s h ifte d , “ D ia m o n d ” or
“ Sidesway” may appear to exist when, in fact, they do
not. A weak spring may make the vehicle appear to have
a twisted frame.
A visual inspection of the top and bottom flanges of
each rail may reveal the specific area where sag or buckle
exists. In the case of sag, wrinkles may appear on the top
FRAME AND BUMPERS 2A-5
of the upper flange; such w rinkles are definite evidence of
sag. W rinkles on the bottom of the lower flange are
definite evidence of buckle.
DETERMINING THE FRAME CENTERLINE (Figure 1)
1. Move the vehicle to a level, well-lighted section of the
floor.
2. Make a diagram of the frame on the floor beneath the
vehicle as follows:
a. Using a plumb bob, transfer points 1, 2, 11, 12
from the inside of the web to the floor. Mark the
points (figure 1).
b. Using a plumb bob, transfer the remaining points
from the outside of the web to the floor. Mark the
points. Be sure to use points from the same
place on both the right and left frame rail.
3. Move the vehicle away from the points on the floor.
4. Measure the distance between points 1 and 2. This
distance should be 704.85 mm (27.75-inch) for the
standard front axle, and 847.25 mm (33.75-inch) if
equipped with a 5000# I-Beam Front Axle.
5. Measure the distance between points 11 and 12. This
distance should be 847.25 mm (33.75-inch). If both the
measurements in steps 4 and 5 were correct, continue
the procedure. If the measurements are not correct,
refer to “ Horizontal Check” step 2, and mark the
centerline through the intersection of two sets of
diagonals that have equal measurements.
6. Make a mark on the floor exactly halfway between
points 1 and 2. Make a similar mark between points 11
and 12.
7. Use a chalk line to mark a line through the points. This
is the centerline of the frame.
HORIZONTAL CHECK
1. Measure the distance between the frame rails, and the
centerline at points 3-10. Each pair of corresponding
points should be an equal distance from the centerline
within 3 mm (Vs-inch). Example: Points 3 and 4 should
measure equally from the centerline as should points 5
and 6, 7 and 8, and points 9 and 10.
2. Measure diagonally from point 1 to point 6, and from
point 2 to point 5. Mark the floor where the diagonals
pass the centerline. The diagonals should measure the
same distance within 5 mm (3/ie-inch), and should
cross at the ce n te rlin e . If the fram e is w ithin
specifications, the frame within these points is properly
aligned.
3. Repeat step 2 on other pairs of diagonals until the
entire frame has been checked. Example: Point 3 to
point 10 and point 4 to point 9 or point 5 to point 12 and
point 6 to point 11, etc.
4. Refer to “ Straightening Frames” to repair any damage
that is found.
STRAIGHTENING FRAMES
Frame straightening can be complicated and usually
requires special equipment. It should be attempted by
competent personnel only.
A com plete analysis of the condition of the fram e
should be made before any steps are taken to straighten
it. Analyzing the cause of failure will help determine the
c o rre ct sequence of steps in the repair. (R efer to
Figure 2—Types of Frame Cracks
“ Possible C auses” under “ Diagnosis” and “ M inim izing
Frame S e rvice ” p reviously o utline d in th is section.)
Corrective procedures should be set up to reverse the
flow of the dam aging forces. In many instances, to reverse
the flow of forces, pressure must be applied from different
directions at the same time.
Careful use of controlled heat is important. Too much or
too little heat, or the im proper application of heat, is a
m ajor source of trouble. Frame heating should be done
with a large sized tip (multi-hole heating tip) and a neutral
flame should be used (oxygen adjust opened just enough
to remove the feathers or stringers from the blue center at
tip of torch). Heat the area that will be stretched as frame
is straightened. Heat the area AFTER SU FFIC IEN T
PRESSURE HAS BEEN EXERTED to cause a slight
checking, or silvery cracks, to appear on the surface of
the metal. Gradually increase the pressure while heating.
Do not heat beyond 606°C (1200°F). A red glow indicates
that the material is overheated. Overheating will cause
distortion and stretching, as well as a change in the
characteristics of the metal.
REPAIRING CRACKS
Two common types of cracks are shown in figure 2. The
straight crack will norm ally start from the edge of a flange.
It will go across the flange and through the web section of
a rail. Finally, it will continue through the other flange.
This type of crack may result from high concentrations of
stress in small areas of the frame, excessive bending
moment, and torsional loading. (Refer to “ M inim izing
Frame Service,” previously outlined in this section).
2A-6 FRAME AND BUMPERS
Sunburst crack(s) will radiate out from a hole in the web
section of a rail or crossmember. They are caused by high
lo a d s b e in g a p p lie d a t a m o u n tin g b ra c k e t o r
crossmember which is not securely or properly attached
to the rail.
If cracks occur to both the rail and reinforcement at a
particular area of the frame, they must be repaired
separately. The flanges must react independently to
prevent localized stress concentration. Use a copper
spacer between the flanges of cracked base rail flanges
and reinforcement flanges.
Crossmember mounting flange cracks may be repaired
in the same m anner as side rail cracks. However, weld
bead should be built up to provide a good smooth radius.
If a crossm em ber is greatly damaged replace it.
It may be necessary to align the frame and level the
rails before repairing the frame.
1. Remove any equipment that will interfere with access
to the crack.
2. Locate the extreme end of the crack and drill a 6 mm
(0.25-inch) hole.
3. “ V” grind the entire length of the crack from the
starting point to the 6 mm (0.25-inch) hole at the
extreme end.
4. Open up the bottom of the crack 2 mm (V-ie-inch) to
allow good penetration of the weld. (A hack-saw blade
may be used for this).
5. Weld with proper electrode and proper welding
techniques. Refer to “ Welding” outlined later in this
section for tips on welding.
6. Grind the weld smooth on both the inside and the
outside of the rail or crossmember. Be extremely
careful to eliminate weld build-up or notches on the
edge of the flange.
WELDING
Improper welding techniques are the cause of many
weld and/or frame failures. The following information
points out potential areas of difficulty and provides some
general guidelines for successful frame welding.
Most weld failures occur at the end of the weld in areas
of the frame that are under high stress. By elim inating the
ends of a weld, failures can be reduced; this can be done
by making a hole or slot in the part to be attached and
then using a fillet weld around a slot or plug weld. Do not
leave a notch at the end of a weld.
Over-welding can be harmful, especially if it is in an
area of the frame that receives high concentrations of
stress.
Small cracks in a crossm em ber may be welded. (Refer
to “ Repairing Cracks” previously outlined in this section).
When welding:
1. Do not use oxyacetylene welding equipment.
2. Whenever possible, use smaller diameter electrodes
and make several passes; this is preferred to using a
large diameter electrode and making fewer passes.
3. Do not use more heat than is necessary to give good
penetration.
4. Do not run more passes than necessary.
5. Make sure the weld is free from craters and undercuts.
6. Make sure scale is removed from each successive
pass.
7. If repairing a crack, grind the surface of the weld flush
with the parent material.
8. When mounting accessories, do not weld across the
flanges.
9. When mounting accessories, do not weld within 19 mm
(3/4-inch) of a flange.
10. Do not weld up to the edge of a part being welded to a
frame. Leave 6 mm (0.25-inch) between the end of the
weld and the edge of the part.
11. Do not weld cast brackets to the frame.
12. Do not weld the flanges of cracked reinforcements and
base rails together.
13. Connect the welding machine ground cables as close
to the working area as possible.
14. Avoid direct contact between the welding cables and
any part of the vehicle.
15. Do not get the welding cables near the vehicle wiring.
G MODEL UNDERBODY
DESCRIPTION
The G Model incorporates a unitized body design
comprised of side rails, cross sills, and outriggers which
are all part of the welded underbody.
A misaligned underbody can affect the operation of
many vehicle components. It is essential that underbody
alignm ent be exact to within 1.6 mm (1/ie-inch).
UNDERBODY ALIGNMENT
To determine the alignm ent of the underbody it is
necessary to use a good quality tram ing gage. This gage
must be capable of m easuring all points of the underbody
up to three quarters of the body length.
Following the instructions given by the m anufacturer of
your gage, measure the horizontal and vertical points as
shown in figure 3. Compare each measurement with the
s p e c ific a tio n s given in the fig u re to d ete rm ine the
damaged areas and the extend of the damage. When
repairing the underbody it will be necessary to return the
underbody to these original specifications within 1.6 mm
(1/ie-inch).
Many different types and brands of unibody repair
equipm ent are available; each system may be slightly
different. A multiple pull system is most desirable in order
to correct the damage in the same direction in which it
was created. When m aking m ultiple pulls use the last in,
first out procedure. This means that you correct the
damage in the reverse sequence by which it was created.
It is also important to correct the damage in the opposite
direction in which the damage was created.

SHEET METAL ADJUSTMENTS
In order to have the proper operation and appearance
of sheet metal components, it is important that certain fits
and gaps between components be maintained. The gaps
given in this procedure are suggested as the best
alignm ent for these components (figure 13).
In aligning sheet metal, it is best to start with the
rearmost component, and work forward.
1. Starting with the fenders, align the rear edge of each
fender to the rocker panel, and the door. The gap
between these components should be 5 mm ± 2.3 mm
(0.19-inch ± 0.09-inch). This adjustment should be
accom plished by m oving the fender forward or
rearward. The surface of the fender should be flush
with the rocker panel and the door. Add or remove
shims to perform this adjustment.
2. Align the fender to the cowl vent grille to obtain a gap
of 4.6 mm ± 1 mm (0.18-inch ± 0.03-inch). The surface
of the cowl vent grille should be flush with the fender
surface.

3. Align the hood with the cowl vent grille, so that there is
a gap of 8 mm ± 1 mm (0.31-inch ± 0.03-inch) between
the rear edge of the hood and the front edge of the
cowl vent grille. The hood surface should be flush with
the cowl vent grille surface within + 0.0-1.5 mm (+ 0.00
-0.06-inch).
4. Align the left and right edges of the hood so that a gap
of 4.6 mm ±1 mm (0.18-inch ± 0.03-inch) exists
between the hood and the fenders. The hood surface
should be fiush with the fender surface within +0.0,
-1.5 mm ( + 0.00 -0.06-inch). If this gap is difficult to
obtain, and the hood appears to be cocked in between
the fenders, the radiator support may need to be
shifted. By shifting the radiator support, the entire front
end sheet metal can be aligned as a unit. Loosen the
support to the frame bolts, and shift the radiator
support to obtain the proper gaps. Then, while holding
the support in position, retighten the radiator support to
frame bolts.
5. Align the front face of the hood to obtain a gap of 4.6
mm ±1 mm (0.18-inch + 0.03-inch) between the hood
and the radiator support upper panel. The hood
bumpers on the top of the radiator support should be
adjusted to give the proper support to hood gap. The
surface of the hood should be flush with the radiator
support upper panel (not the grille molding).

Figure 1—Caster-Camber-Toe-ln
“ Front End Alignm ent” refers to the angular relation
ship between the front wheels, the front suspension atta
ching parts and the ground.
Proper front end alignm ent must be maintained in order
to insure efficient steering, good directional stability and
to prevent abnormal tire wear.
The most important factors of front end alignment are
wheel toe-in, wheel camber, and axle caster (Figure 1).
DEFINITION OF TERMS
CAMBER
Camber is the inward or outward tilting of the front
wheels from the vertical. When the wheels tilt outward at
the top, the camber is positive ( + ). When the wheels tilt
inward at the top, the camber is negative (—). The amount
of tilt measured in degrees from the vertical is called the
camber angle. Camber is designed into the front axle
a ss e m b ly of all fo u r-w h e e l d rive v e h ic le s and is
non-adjustable.
If camber is extreme or unequal between the wheels,
improper steering and excessive tire wear will result.
Negative camber causes wear on the inside tire, while
positive camber causes wear to the outside.
CASTER (Figure 1)
Caster is the tilting of the wheel axis either forward or
backward from the vertical (when viewed from the side of
the vehicle). A backward tilt is positive ( + ) and a forward
tilt is negative (—).
On the short and long arm type suspension you cannot
see a caster angle without a special instrument, but if you
look straight down from the top of the upper control arm to
the ground, the ball joints do not line up (fore and aft)
when a caster angle other than 0 degree is present. With
a positive angle, the lower ball joint would be slightly
ahead (toward the front of the vehicle) of the upper ball
joint center line. Caster is designed into the front axle
a ssem bly on all fo u r-w h e e l d rive ve h icle s, and is
non-adjustable.
TOE-IN
Toe-in is the turning of the front wheels. The actual
amount of toe-in is normally a fraction of a degree. Toe-in
is measured from the center of the tire treads or from the
inside of the tires. The purpose of toe-in is to insure
parallel rolling of the front wheels and to offset any small
deflections of the wheel support system which occurs
when the vehicle is rolling forward. Incorrect toe-in results
in excessive toe-in and unstable steering. Toe-in is the last
alignment to be set in the front end alignm ent procedure.

FRONT END ALIGNMENT
REQUIREMENTS
Satisfactory vehicle operation may occur over a wide
range of front end alignm ent settings. If the settings vary
beyond certain tolerances, adjustm ents are advisable.
The “ Specifications” at the back of this section is a
guideline for vehicle diagnosis or for repairs.
Set the front end alignm ent to specifications w hile the
vehicle is in its normally loaded condition. Vehicles
w hich are consistently operated with heavy loads
should have toe-in adjusted with the vehicle under
heavy load. This procedure should result in longer tire
life.

A normal shim pack will leave at least two threads of
the bolt exposed beyond the nut. If two threads cannot be
obtained, check for control arms and related parts. The
difference between front and rear shim packs must not
exceed 7.62 mm (0.03 inch). Front shim pack must be at
least 2.54 mm (0.10 inch).
ACCESS TO SHIM PACKS
Models with 3/4-lnch Nut
Jack up the frame to raise the wheel off the ground.
This will allow the proper upper control arm to drop down
far enough to use a socket on the nuts and permit shim
adjustment. Torque to specifications, refer to FRONT

CASTER
All caster specifications are given with a frame angle of
zero. Therefore, it will be necessary to know the angle of
the frame (whether “ up” in rear or “ down” in rear) before
a corrected caster reading can be determined. Camber
and toe-in can be read “ as is” from the alignm ent
equipment.
How To Determine Caster (Figure 2 and 3)
All caster specifications are given with vehicle frame
angle of zero.
1. Position the vehicle on a smooth level surface.
2. Use a bubble protractor or inclinometer to measure the
frame angle. Frame angle is the degree of tilt in the
frame from the level position.
3. Determine whether the frame angle is “ up in rear” or
“ down in rear.”
4. Determine the caster angle reading from the alignment
equipment.
5. Refer to figure 3. To determine an “ actual (corrected)
caster reading” with various frame angles and caster
readings, one of the following rules apply:

d. An “ UP IN REAR” fram e angle m ust be
SUBTRACTED from a NEGATIVE c a s te r
reading.
6. Dimension “ BC” measured 90 degrees from the lower
surface of the crossmember (C) and to the inboard rear
corner of the jounce bumper bracket (B).
7. Using dimension “ BC” and the caster, camber, wheel
toe-in chart sheet, find the recommended caster angle.
8. If the actual (corrected) caster cycle (Step 5) is not
within the recommended caster angle (Step 7) make
the necessary shim changes.
CAMBER
1. Determine the camber angle from the alignm ent
equipment.
2. Add or subtract shims from both the front and rear
bolts to affect a change.
TOE-IN
1. Determine the toe-in from the alignment equipment.
2. Change the length of both tie rod sleeves to affect a toe
change. Toe-in can be increased or decreased by
changing the length of the tie rod ends. A threaded
sleeve is provided for this purpose. When the tie rod
ends are mounted ahead of the steering knuckle they
must be decreased in length in order to increase
toe-in. When the tie rod ends are mounted behind the
steering kunckle they must be lenghtened in order to
increase toe-in. Refer to STEERING LINKAGE (SEC.
3B1) for clamping instructions.

DESCRIPTION
The steering linkage for the R, G, and P20 + 30(42)
model is composed of a pitman arm, idler arm, relay rod,
two adjustable tie rods and a steering shock absorber (Gmodel). When the steering wheel is turned, the gear ro
tates the pitman arm which forces the relay rod to one
side. The tie rods, which are connected to the relay rod by
ball studs, transfers the steering force to the wheels. The
tie rods are adjustable and are used for toe-in adjust
ments. The relay rod is supported by the pitman arm and
idler arm. The idler arm pivots on a support attached to
the frame rail. On the G-model the steering shock absor
ber is attached to a relay rod and a mounting bracket to
steering gear.
The P30(32) Motorhome model steering linkage has a
sim ilar adjustable tie rod assembly as described above.
When the steering wheel is turned, the gear rotates the
pitman arm which forces the nonadjustable connecting
rod and relay arm to move the relay rod to one side. The
relay arm and idler arm are attached to the frame by sup
port assemblies. The support assemblies are adjustable
for shaft end play. The steering shock absorber is at
tached to the fram e and relay arm (figures 1 through 3).
The V model has a front driving axle assem bly and the
P30(00) with RPO-FS3 has an I-Beam axle assembly. The
steering linkage consists of an adjustable connecting rod,
steering shock absorber, pitman arm and a tie rod which
connects the two steering knuckles together (figures 7
and 8).
The overall condition of the steering linkage affects
steering performance. If parts are bent, damaged, worn or
poorly lubricated, im proper and possibly dangerous
steering action will result.
Whenever any steering linkage components are re
paired or replaced, check the steering geometry and front
end alignment. Refer to FRONT END ALIGNM ENT (SEC.
3A).

IDLER ARM INSPECTION
In s p e c t (F ig u re s 4 a n d 5)
Raise the vehicle. Allow the front wheels to rotate
freely and the steering mechanism freedom to turn.
Position the wheels in a straight ahead position.
Place a spring scale near the relay rod end of the idler
arm. Exert a 110 N (25 lb.) force upward and then
downward (G model the force is forward and rearward)
while measuring the total distance the arm moves. The
allowable deflection is ± 3.18mm (1/s inch) for a total of
6.35mm (1/4 inch) (figures 4 and 5). Replace the idler
arm if it fails this test with the exception of the P model
motorhome. Refer to “ Idler Arm Adjustment (P30(32)
Motorhome),” in this section.
Im p o rta n t
Jerking the right wheel and tire assembly back and
forth, causing an up and down movement of the idler
arm, is NOT an acceptable testing procedure. There is
no control on the amount of force being applied to the
idler arm.
• Care should be used whenever shimmy complaints are
suspected of being caused by loose idler arms. Before
suspecting suspension or steering components,
technicians should consider areas such as dynamic
imbalance, runout or force variation of wheel and tire
assemblies and road surface irregularities. Refer to
WHEELS AND TIRES (SEC. 3E).
IDLER ARM ADJUSTMENT
(P30(32) MOTORHOME)
The fram e
adjustable for
movement as
idler arm fails
mounted idler support assem bly (10) is
support shaft end play. Check for idler arm
described in “ Idler Arm Inspection.” If the
this test, adjust the support shaft end-play.
A d ju s t (F ig u re 3)
1. Loosen the support assembly jam nut.
2. Tighten the adjuster plug to metal-to-metal contact.
3. Back off the adjuster plug 1/s of a turn (V2 of a flat on

DESCRIPTION
The steering gear is the recirculating ball nut and worm
type. The worm is located on the lower end of the steering
shaft. The ball nut is mounted on the worm and the steel
balls act as a rolling thread between the worm and nut to
provide a low friction drive between them.
Teeth on the ball nut engage teeth on the pitman shaft
sector. The teeth on the ball nut are made so that a tighter
fit exists between the ball nut and pitman shaft sector
teeth when the front wheels are in the straight ahead posi
tion. The sector teeth are slightly tapered so that a proper
preload may be obtained by moving the pitman shaft end
ways by means of a preload adjuster screw which extends
through the gear housing side cover. The head of the pre
load adjuster and a selectively fitted shim fit snugly into a
T-slot in the end of the pitman shaft, so that the screw also
controls the end play of the shaft (figure 1).

DESCRIPTION
The hydraulic power steering system consists of a
pump, an oil reservoir, a steering gear, a pressure hose,
and a return hose (figure 1).
INTEGRAL POWER
STEERING GEAR
The control valve in the steering gear directs the power
steering fluid to either side of the rack piston. The rack
piston converts the hydraulic pressure into a m echanical
force. If the steering system becomes damaged and loses
h y d ra u lic p re ssure, the v e h ic le can be c o n tro lle d
manua"*
HYDRAULIC PUMPS
The power steering gear (figure 2) has a recirculating
ball system which acts as a rolling thread between the
worm shaft and the rack piston. The worm shaft is
supported by a thrust bearing preload and two conical
thrust races at the lower end, and a bearing assembly in
the adjuster plug at the upper end. When the worm shaft
is turned right, the rack piston moves up in gear. Turning
the worm shaft left moves the rack piston down in gear.
The rack piston teeth mesh with the sector, which is part
The hydraulic pump is a vane-type design. There are
two types, submerged and nonsubmerged. Submerged
pump (P models) have a housing and internal parts that
are inside the reservoir and operate submerged in oil: The
n o n s u b m e rg e d p u m p (TC m o d e ls w ith or w ith o u t
reservoir) function the same as the submerged pump
except that the reservoir is separate from the housing and
internal parts (figure 3).
of the pitman shaft. Turning the worm shaft turns the
pitman shaft, which turns the wheels through the steering
linkage.
There are two bore openings at the rear of the pump
housing. The larger opening contains the cam ring,
pressure plate, thrust plate, rotor and vane assembly, and

POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. T here
is som e noise in all p ow er
steering systems. One of the most com
mon is a hissing sound most evident at
standstill parking. Hiss is a high fre
quency noise. The noise is present in
every valve and results from high veloc
ity fluid passing valve orifice edges.
There is no relationship between this
noise and performance of the steering.
“ Hiss” may be expected when steering
wheel is at end of travel or when slowly
turning at standstill.
Do not replace valve unless “ hiss” is
extrem ely objectionable. A rep la ce
ment valve will also exhibit slight noise
and is not always a cure for the objec
tion.

• All tests are made with the engine idling at normal
operating temperature. Check the idle adjustment
and if necessary adjust the engine idle speed to the
correct specification. Refer to FUEL SYSTEMS
(SEC. 6C).
Test W ith J-5176-D
1. Place a container under the steering gear or pump
to catch the fluid when disconnecting or connecting
the hoses.
2. W ith the engine NOT running, disconnect the
pressure hose at the steering gear or power steering
pump and install J-5176-D to both hoses using
adapter fitting J-5176-20. The gage must be between
the shut-off valve and pump. Open the shut-off
valve.
3. Remove the fi'ler cap from the pump reservoir and
check the fluid level. Fill the pump reservoir, with
power steering fluid, to the full mark on the dipstick.
Start the engine and, m omentarily holding steering
w heel a gainst stop, ch eck the co nn e ctio n s at
J-5176-D for leakage.
4. Bleed the system. Refer to “ Bleeding the Power
Steering System.”
5. Insert therm om eter J-5421-02 in the reservoir filler
opening. Move the steering wheel from stop to stop
several times until the thermometer indicates that
the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir has reached a
temperature of 65° to 77°C (150° to 170°F).
Im portant
• To prevent scrubbing flat spots on the tires, do
not turn the steering wheel more than five
tim es without rolling the vehicle to change the
tire-to-floor contact area.
6. Start the engine and check the pumps fluid level.
Add power steering fluid if required. When the
engine is at normal operating temperature, the initial
pressure read on the gage (valve open) should be in
the 550-860 kPa (80-125 psi) range. Should this
pressure be in excess of 1380 kPa (200 psi) —
check the hoses for restrictions and the poppet
valve for proper assembly.
NOTICE: Do not leave valve fully closed for
more than 5 seconds as the pum p could be
damaged internally.
7. Close the gate valve fully 3 times. Record the
highest pressures attained each time.
• If the pressures recorded are w ithin the
specifications at the end of this section, and
the range of readings is within 345 kPa (50
p si), th e pum p is fu n c tio n in g w ith in its
specifications.
• If the pressures recorded are high, but do not
repeat w ithin 345 kPa (50 psi), the flow
controlling valve is sticking. Remove the valve,
clean it and remove any burrs using crocus
cloth or fine hone. If the system contains some
dirt, flush it. If it is exceptionally dirty, both the
p u m p and g e a r m u s t be c o m p le te ly
d is a s s e m b le d , c le a n e d , flu s h e d and
reassembled before further usage.
• If the pressures recorded are constant but
m ore than 690 kPa (100 psi), below the
minimum listed specification, replace the flow
control valve and recheck. If the pressures are
still low, replace the rotating group in the
pump.
8. If the pump checks within specifications, leave the
valve open and turn (or have turned) the steering
w heel into both co rn e rs . R ecord th e h ig h e s t
pressures and compare with the maximum pump
pressure recorded. If this pressure cannot be built in
either (or one) side of the gear, the gear is leaking
internally and must be disassembled and repaired.
9. Shut the engine off, rem ove the testing gage,
reconnect the pressure hose, check the fluid level
and/or make the needed repairs.
10. If the problem still exists, the steering and front
suspension must be thoroughly examined. Refer to
“ Diagnosis of Power Steering System .”
POWER STEERING 3B3-11
Test With J-25323
1. Place a container under the steering gear or pump
to catch the fluid when disconnecting or connecting
the hoses.
2. W ith the engine NOT running, d isco nn ect the
pressure hose at the steering gear or power steering
pump. Thread J-29525 fem ale adapter into the
pressure hose and the male adapter into the gear or
pum p. C onnect J-25323 a nalyzer hoses to the
adapters.
3. If the analyzer has never been used, it will be
necessary to bleed the power steering system to
remove all the air. Refer to “ Bleeding the Power
Steering System” in this section. The analyzer gate
must be open during this procedure.
4. Add power steering fluid to the pump if required.
5. Run the engine at idle speed with the gate valve
open and record flow (A) and pressure (B).
• If the flow is below 7.4 L/min. (2 gpm), the
pump appears to be in need of repair, but
continue the test.
• If the pressure is above 1035 kPa (150 psi),
check the hoses for restriction and check the
steering gear.
6. Partially close the gate valve to build 4278 kPa (620
psi). Record the flow (C).
• If the flow (C) drops more than 3.7 L/min. (1
gpm) under flow (A), disassem ble the pump
and replace the ring, rotor, and vanes. If the
pressure plates are worn or cracked, replace
th e m . R e p la c e a ll O -rin g s e a ls w h e n

7. Com pletely close and partially open the gate valve
three tim es (do not allow the valve to remain
closed for more than 5 seconds). Record the
“ gate closed” pressure (D).
8. Check the pressure specifications, at the end of this
section for the correct pump model, and if the pump
pressure recorded is 690 kPa (100 psi) lower than
the minimum specification listed, replace the flow

(A), then the flow control valve should be
removed and cleaned or replaced, the same
as in step 8.
Have the steering wheel turned into the left and then
right corner lightly against the wheel stops. Record
the pressure and flow (F).
• Pressures developed in both corners should
be nearly the same as the maximum pump
output (D). At the same tim e the flow should
drop below 1.85 L/min. (0.5 gpm).
• If the pressure does not reach m axim um

steering gear and remove the control valve.
Repair the steering gear as outlined in the
Unit Repair Manual.
Have the steering wheel turned slightly in both
directions and release quickly while watching the
pressure gage. The needle should move from the
normal back pressure reading and snap back as the
wheel is released. If it comes back slowly, or sticks,
the rotary valve in the steering gear is sticking.
Remove, disassem ble and clean the rotary valve. If
the system contains a lot of dirt and foreign material,
d is a s s e m b le th e p u m p th e gear, c le a n and
reassemble.
If the problem still exists, the steering and front
suspension must be thoroughly examined. Refer to
“ D iagnosis of Power Steering System ” in this
section.
POWER STEERING SYSTEM ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
MAINTENANCE
The hydraulic system should be kept clean and at
regular intervals the pump steering fluid level in the
reservoir should be checked and flu id added when
required. Refer to MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
(SEC. 0B) of this manual for type of fluid to be used and
intervals for filling.
If the system contains some dirt, flush it as detailed
later in this section. If it is exceptionally dirty, both the
pump and the gear must be completely disassembled
before further usage.
All tubes, hoses, and fittings should be inspected for
leakage at regular intervals. Fittings must be tight. Make
sure the clips, clamps and supporting tubes and hoses
are in place and properly secured.
Inspect the hoses with the wheels in the straight-ahead
position, then turn the wheels fully to the left and right,
while observing the movement of the hoses. Correct any
hose contact with other parts of the vehicle that could
cause chafing or wear.
Power steering hoses and lines must not be twisted,
kinked or tightly bent. The hoses should have sufficient
natural curvature in the routing to absorb movement and
hose shortening during vehicle operation.
A ir in the system will cause spongy action and noisy
operation. When a hose is disconnected or when fluid is
lost, for any reason, the system must be bled after
refilling. Refer to “ Bleeding the Power Steering System”
in this section.
PUMP BELT TENSION
ADJUSTMENT
When adjusting a power steering pump belt, never pry
against the pum p reservoir or pull against the filler neck.
Two systems are used for belt adjustment. On some
models, the pump is loosened from the bracket and
3B3-12 POWER STEERING
moved outward to lncrea se the tension. On other models,
a half-inch square drive hole is located in the bracket, and
this hole is used to rotate the pump-and-bracket assembly
outward to increase belt tension.
ft
Adjust
Tool Required:
J-23600-B Belt Tension Gage.
1. Place belt tension gage, J-23600-B or equivalent,
midway between the pulleys on drive belts being
checked.
• Power steering pump driven by a single belt.
• Loosen the pump attaching bolts and adjust
the belt to correct tension by moving the pump
outward, away from the engine.
• Tighten finger tight all pump mounting bolts
and remove the pry bar.
• Tighten all pum p mounting bolts. Refer to
“ Power Steering Pump Replacement” in this
section.
• Inspect belt tension and remove the belt
tension gage.
2. Loosen the pivot bolt and pump brace adjusting
nuts.
NOTICE: Do not move the pum p by prying
against the reservoir or by pulling on the filler
neck, or damage may occur.
3. Move the pump, with the belt in place until the belt
is tensioned to specifications. Refer to ENGINE
COOLING (SEC. 6B1).
4. Tighten the pump bracket adjusting nut and the
pivot bolt nut. Refer to “ Power Steering Pump
Replacem ent” in this section.
5. Inspect the belt tension and remove the belt tension
gage.
FLUID LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
1. Run the engine until the power steering fluid
reaches normal operating temperature, about 80°C
(170°F), then shut the engine off.
2. Remove the reservoir cap and check the fluid level
on the dipstick. On models equipped with a remote
reservoir, the fluid level should be about 12.7 to 25.4
mm ( 1/2 to 1-inch) from the top when the wheels are
in full left turn position.
3. If the fluid level is low, add power steering fluid (GM
#1050017 or equivalent) to the proper level and
install the reservoir cap.
4. When checking the fluid level after the steering
system has been serviced, air must be bled from the
system. Refer to “ Bleeding the Power Steering
System” in this section.
BLEEDING THE POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
W hen a pow er ste e rin g pum p or gear has been
installed, or an oil line has been disconnected, the air that
has entered the system must be bled out before the
vehicle is operated. If air is allowed to remain in the power
steering fluid system, noisy and unsatisfactory operation
of the system may result. Bleed air from the hydraulic
system as follows:
• When bleeding the system, and any tim e fluid is
added to the power steering system, be sure to use
o n ly p o w e r s te e rin g flu id as s p e c ifie d in
MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION (SEC. OB).
1. Fill the pump fluid reservoir to the proper level and
let the fluid settle for at least two minutes.
2. Start the engine and let it run for a few seconds.
Then turn the engine off.
3. Add fluid if necessary.
4. Repeat the above procedure until the fluid level
remains constant after running the engine.
5. Raise the front end of the vehicle so that the wheels
are off the ground.
6. Start the engine. Slowly turn the steering wheel
right and left, lightly contacting the wheel stops.
7. Add power steering fluid if necessary.
8. Lower the vehicle and turn the steering wheel slowly
from lock to lock.
9. Stop the engine. Check the fluid level and refill as
required.
10. If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the vehicle to
s ta n d a few m in u te s a nd re p e a t th e a bo ve
procedure.
Inspect
• Belt for tightness.
• Pulley for looseness or damage. The pulley should
not wobble with the engine running.
• Hoses so they are not touching any other parts of
the vehicle.
• Fluid level and fill to the proper level.
• Fluid for air and if present attempt to bleed the
system.
FLUSHING THE POWER
STEERING SYSTEM
1. Raise the front end of the vehicle off the ground
until the wheels are free to turn.
2. Remove the fluid return line at the pum p inlet
connector and plug the connector port on the pump.
Position the line towards a large container to catch
the draining fluid.
3. W hile an assistant is filling the reservoir with new
power steering fluid, run the engine at idle. Turn the
steering wheel from stop to stop. DO NOT contact
wheel stops or hold the wheel in a corner or fluid will
stop and the pump will be in pressure relief mode. A
sudden overflow from the reservoir may develop if
the wheel is held at a stop.
4. Install all the lines, hoses and com ponents (if
removed) on the vehicle. Fill the system with new
power steering flu id and bleed the system as
d e s c rib e d in “ B le e d in g T he P ow er S te e rin g
System.” Operate the engine for about 15 minutes.
Remove the pump return line at the pump inlet and
plug the connection on the pump. W hile refilling the
reservoir, check the draining fluid for contamination.
If foreign material is still evident, replace all lines,

STEERING GEAR HIGH
POINT CENTERING
1. Set the front wheels in the straight ahead position.
This can be checked by driving the vehicle a short
distance on a flat surface.
2. With the front wheels set straight ahead, check the
position of the mark on the worm shaft designating
steering gear high point. This mark should be at the
top side of the shaft at the 12 o’clock position and
lined up with the mark in the coupling lower clamp.
3. On R, G and P models except P30(00)FS3, if the
steering gear has been moved off high point when
setting the wheel in the straight ahead position,
loosen the adjuster tube clam ps on both the left and
right hand tie rods. Then turn both adjuster tubes an
equal number of turns in the same direction to bring
the gear back on high point.
• Turning the adjuster tubes an unequal number
of turns or in different directions will disturb
the toe-in setting of the wheels.
4. On V and P30(00)FS3 models, if the gear has been
moved off high point when setting the wheels in the
straight ahead position, loosen the adjuster tube
clam ps on the co n n e ctin g rod. Then tu rn the
adjuster tube to bring the gear back on high point.

STEERING GEAR
ADJUSTMENTS
• Before any adjustments are made to the steering
gear, refer to “ Diagnosis of Power Steering System”
for reviewing the possible steering system problems.
The steering gear adjustm e nt is made only as a
correction and not as a periodic adjustment. Adjusting the
steering gear in the vehicle is NOT recommended for two
reasons:
1. The com plexity involved in adjusting the worm
thrust bearing preload.
2. The friction effect provided by the hydraulic fluid in
the steering gear.
For proper adjustment, remove the steering gear from
the vehicle. Drain the power steering fluid from the gear.
M ount the gear in a vise and make the fo llo w in g
adjustments.
The steering gear requires two adjustments which are:
the worm thrust bearing preload and the pitman shaft
over-center preload adjustment.
The worm thrust bearing preload is controlled by the
am ount of compression force exerted on the conical worm
bearing thrust races by the adjuster plug.
The pitman shaft over-center preload is controlled by
the pitman shaft adjuster screw which determines the
clearance between the rack piston and the pitman shaft
sector teeth.
• Adjust the worm thrust bearing preload first,
then a djust the pitm an sh aft over-center
preload.
Worm Bearing Preload
^
A djust (Figures 1, 2, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17)
Tool Required:
J-7624 Adjustable Spanner Wrench.
Loosen and remove the adjuster plug nut (6) (figure
13).
2 . Turn the adjuster plug (3) in (clockwise), using
J-7624, until the plug and thrust bearing are firm ly
bottomed in the housing.
Tighten
• Adjuster plug to 27 N m (20 ft. lbs.).
Place an index mark on the housing even with one
of the holes in the adjust plug (figure 14).
4. Measure back (counterclockw ise) 4.7-6.3 mm
(3/ie-1/4-inch) from the index mark and mark the
housing (figure 15).
5. Rotate the adjuster plug back (counterclockwise)
until the hole in the plug is aligned with the second
mark on the housing (figure 16).
6. Install the adjuster plug nut (6).

Tighten
• Nut to 110 N m (81 ft. lbs.). Be sure the
adjuster plug does not turn when tightening
the nut.
7. Use a inch-pound torque wrench and a 12-point
deep socket to measure the required torque to turn
the stub shaft (4). Take the reading with the handle
of the torque wrench near the vertical position. Turn
the stub shaft to the right stop and then back
(counterclockwise) 1/4 turn at an even rate (figure
17). Record the torque reading.
8. The torque required to turn the stub shaft should be
0.45-1.13 N m (4-10 in. lbs.). If the reading is above or
below the specified torque; the adjuster plug may
not be tightened properly or may have turned when
the adjuster plug nut was tightened, or the thrust
bearings and races (22) may be damaged.
Figure 17—Checking Rotational Torque
Adjust (Figures 1, 2, 18, 19,, and 20)
1. Turn th e p itm a n s h a ft a d ju s te r s c re w (73)
counterclockw ise until fu lly extended, then turn
back 1/2 turn clockwise.
2. Rotate the stub shaft (4) from stop to stop and count
the number of turns.
3. Smarting at either stop, turn the stub shaft back 1/2
the total number of turns. This is the “ center” of the
gear.
• When the gear is centered, the flat on the stub
shaft should face upward and be parallel with
the side cover (21) (figure 14) and the master
spline on the pitman shaft should be in line
with the adjuster screw (73) (figure 19).
4. Place the torque wrench, in the vertical position, on
the stub shaft. Rotate the torque wrench 45 degrees
each side of the center and record the highest drag
torque measured on or near center (figure 20).

5. Adjust over-center drag torque by loosening the
adjuster screw jam nut (17) and turning the pitman
shaft adjuster screw (79) clockwise until the correct
drag torque is obtained.
• On new steering gears (under 400 miles), add
0.6-1.2 N m (6-10 in. lbs.) to rq u e to the
previously measured worm bearing preload
torque but do not exceed a total steering gear
preload of 2 N m (18 in. lbs.).
• On used steering gears (400 miles or more)
add 0.5-0.6 N-m (4-5 in. lbs.) torque to the
previously measured worm bearing preload
torque but do not exceed a total steering gear
preload of 1.5 N-m (14 in. lbs.).

3B4-2 STEERING COLUMN
DESCRIPTION
The locking energy absorbing steering column includes
three important features in addition to the steering func
tion:
1. The column is energy absorbing, designed to com
press in a front-end collision to m inimize the possi
bility of injury to the driver of the vehicle.
2. The ignition switch and lock are mounted on the col
umn.
3. With the column mounted lock, the ignition, steering
and gearshifting operation can be locked to inhibit
theft of the vehicle.
The column may be disassem bled and reassembled. To
insure the energy absorbing action, it is important that the
specified screws, bolts and nuts be used only as desig
nated and that they are tightened to the specified torque.
When the column is removed from the vehicle, such
actions as a sharp blow on the end of the steering shaft or
shift lever, leaning on the column assembly, or dropping
of the assembly could shear or loosen the plastic fasten
ers that maintain column rigidity.

STEERING COLUMN ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
(ALL MODELS)
INSPECTION
SHIFTER SHAFT
Separation of the shifter shaft sections will be internal
and cannot be visually identified. Hold lower end of the
“ shifter shaft” and move the “ shift lever” on the column
through its ranges and up and down. If there is little or no
movement of the “ shifter shaft,” the plastic joints are
sheared.
STEERING SHAFT
If the steering shaft plastic pins have been sheared, the
shaft will rattle when struck lihtly from the side and some
lash may be felt when rotating the steering wheel while
holding the rag joint. If the steering shaft pins are sheared
due to minor collision w ithout serious damage to other
components, the vehicle can be safely steered; however,
steering shaft replacement is recommended.

COLUMN JACKET
Inspect the jacket section of the column for looseness,
and/or bends.
COLUMN SUPPORT BRACKET
Damage in this area will be indicated by separation of
the mounting capsules from the bracket. The bracket will
have moved forward toward the entire com partm ent and
will usually result in collapsing of the jacket section of the
steering column.

3C-2 FRONT SUSPENSION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
An independent suspension is standard on the R-G-P
model vehicles. This suspension features unequal length
control arms (the lower control arm is the load carrying
member), coil springs and shock absorbers to reduce vi
bration and shock load, plus a stabilizer bar to control
sway or roll. Air cylinders inside coil springs are available
to minimize “ crash through” on large road bumps. A
special heavy duty front suspension is available on P
model vehicles. This suspension (RPO FS3), centered
around a solid I-beam axle, includes leaf springs, shock
absorbers, and a stabilizer bar.
The V model (four wheel drive) suspension includes
leaf springs, shock absorbers, and a stabilizer bar.

SHOCK ABSORBER BENCH TEST
SPIRAL GROOVE SHOCK ABSORBERS
1. Purge the air from the pressure chamber.
• Extend the shock vertically—top end up.
• Turn the sh o ck o ver and c o lla p s e it
vertically—top end down.
• Repeat the above step five times.
2. Place the shock absorber in a vise with the jaws
clamped onto the shock’s bottom mount.
— Shock absorber should be positioned vertically
in the vise—top end up.
— Do not clamp the vise Jaws on the shock’s
reservoir tube.
3. Pump the shock absorber at various rates of speed
and observe the rebound force.
— Rebound force is normally stronger than the
compression force (approximately two to one).
— Rebound force should be smooth and constant
for each stroke rate.
4. Compare with a good shock absorber.
5. If one of the following are observed, replace the shock
absorber.
— A skip or lag at reversal near mid-stroke.
— A seize (except at the extreme ends of travel.
— A noise (grunt or squeal) after completing one
full stroke in both directions.
— A clicking noise at fast reversal.
NON-SPIRAL GROOVE SHOCK ABSORBERS
• Purging air from non-spiral groove shock absorbers is
not necessary. The shock absorbers have a gas filled
cell in their reservoirs (as opposed to the air filled cell
in the spiral groove shock absorber reservoirs).
1. Place the shock absorber in a vise with the jaws
clamped on the shock absorber’s top mount.
— Shock absorber should be held vertically in the
vise with its bottom end up.
— Do not clamp the vise jaws on the shock’s
reservoir tube.I
2. Pump the shock absorber at various rates of speed
and observe the rebound force.
— Rebound force is normally stronger than the
compression force (approximately two to one).
— Rebound force should be smooth and constant
for each stroke rate.
3. Compare with a good shock absorber.
4. If one of the following are observed, replace the shock
absorber.
— A skip or lag at reversal near mid-stroke.
— A seize (except at the extreme ends of travel).
— A noise (grunt or squeal) after completing one
full stroke in both directions.
— A clicking noise at fast reversal.
DIAGNOSIS OF WHEEL BEARINGS
When diagnosing bearing condition, keep in mind the
general condition of all parts during disassem bly and
inspection. Use Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4 to classify the failure, and follow the recommended repair procedures.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
All 10/1500 through 30/3500 series vehicles use a leaf
spring and solid rear axle suspension system (figures 1
through 7).
The rear axle assembly is attached to multi-leaf springs
by U-bolts. The front ends of the springs are attached to
the frame at the front hangers, through rubber bushings.
The rear ends of the springs are attached to the frame by
the use of shackles which allow the springs to “ change
their length” while the vehicle is in motion.
Ride control is provided by two identical direct double
acting shock absorbers angle-m ounted between the
frame and brackets attached to the axle tubes.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This section details special service procedures that are
not covered in the vehicle’s O wner’s Manual. For jacking
instructions, basic tire changing and rotation instructions,
and a detailed explanation of all other owner-oriented in
formation, refer to the proper section in the vehicle’s Own
e r’s Manual.
CERTIFICATION LABEL
The certification label contains information used to
determine which tire size and type the vehicle uses. For
further information, refer to GENERAL INFORMATION
(SEC. OA).
TIRE LOAD LIMITS AND
INFLATION PRESSURE
The factory installed wheels and tires are designed to
handle loads up to and including their rated load capacity
when inflated to the recommended inflation pressures.
Refer to “ Tire Load Limits And Inflation Pressure” at the
end of this section.
Correct tire pressures and driving techniques influence
tire life. Underinflated tires can cause handling problems,
p o o r fu e l e co n o m y , s h o rte n e d tire life , and tire
o v e rlo a d in g . H ea vy c o rn e rin g , e x c e s s iv e ly ra p id
acceleration, and unnecessary braking also increase tire
wear.
| 9 | Im p o rta n t
• The use of wheels and/or tires with higher load
capacity ratings than originally equipped on the
vehicle will not increase the Gross Axle Weight
Rating (GAWR) or Gross Vehicle Weight Rating
(GVWR) of the vehicle.

CHECKING WHEEL AND
TIRE RUNOUT
Some vehicles are sensitive to tire and wheel assembly
runout. Tires that are satisfactory on one vehicle might be
unsatisfactory on another. W hen analyzing vibration
problems, it is important to keep this in mind. In addition,
different wheel positions on a vehicle may have different
sensitivity levels. You should check for wheel runout or
total wheel and tire runout in the following cases:
Inflate to recommended pressure.
Install correct tire-wheel combination.
Replace shock absorbers.
Align the front end.
Inspect, repair or replace as required.

measurements can be taken radially and laterally. A dial
indicator equipped with a roller contact point, mounted on
a heavy, solid base is the measurement device.
RADIAL RUNOUT
Radial runout is the egg-shaped difference from a
perfect circle. Measure tire radial runout from the center
tire tread rib although other tread ribs can be measured
as well. The total runout is the reading from the gage, and
the high spot is the location of the maximum runout. On a
rim, if either flange is beyond specifications, replace the
rim (figure 2).
LATERAL RUNOUT
Lateral runout is a sideways variation causing a twist or
wobble and is measured on a side surface. On the tire
and wheel assembly, measure the sidewall of the tire as
close to the trend shoulder design edge as possible. The
total runout is the reading from the gage, and the high
spot is the location of the maximum runout. On a rim, if
either flange is beyond guidelines, replace the rim (figure
3).
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
Inflate the tires to specifications.
Warm up the tires prior to taking measurements to
eliminate flat spotting.
• Newly installed tires usually do not require
warming up.
3. Raise the vehicle on a lift.
• If measurements will be taken off the vehicle,
mount each tire and wheel assembly on a
dynamic balance machine.
Mark the tire and w heel a ssem blies for exact
replacement.
• Mark a wheel hub bolt and its exact position on
the wheel.

5. Take either a radial or lateral runout measurement.
• Place the dial indicator in position.
• Rotate the tire and wheel assembly (or just the
wheel) to find its low spot. Adjust the dial
indicator to read zero.
• Rotate again to verify the low spot location—the
dial indicator must return to zero.
• Disregard any instantaneous dial jumps due to
welds, paint runs, scratches, etc. on the wheel.
• Rotate the tire and wheel assembly (or just the
wheel) and note the amount of variance (runout)
from zero. Locate and mark the high spot.
6. If there is a large difference in runout measurements
from ON vehicle to OFF vehicle, the runout problem is
likely due to excessive runout of the bolt circle or hub.
7. If measured runouts are not within the guidelines
(located in “ Wheel Runout Specifications” at the end
of this section), proceed to “ Vectoring” to correct the
problem.
VECTORING
Vectoring is a technique used to reduce radial or lateral
runout— and even dynamic balance on tire and wheel
a s s e m b lie s . V e c to rin g c a n be a c c o m p lis h e d by
positioning of the tire on the wheel and positioning of the
tire and wheel assembly on the hub/rotor.

| j I Important
Tire And Wheel Assembly To Hub/Rotor Vectoring
• Always rebalance the tire and wheel assembly
after vectoring.
Tire To Wheel Vectoring
1. Determine which runout needs to be minimized.
• Determine visually.
2. If radial runout is the problem, take a measurement on
the center tread rib.
• If the trend is uneven, wrap tape tightly around
the tire, record the runout magnitude, and mark
the high spot location (figure 4).
3. If lateral runout is the problem, take a measurement on
the sidewall just below the edge of the tread shoulder.
• Record the runout magnitude, and mark the high
spot location.
4. Mark the tire sidewall at the valve location.
• This is the 12 o’clock position.
• The location of the high spot is always with
respect to the clock location on the wheel.
5. Break the tire and wheel assembly down on a tire
mounting machine and rotate the tire 6 hours (180°) on
the rim (figure 4).
• Reinflate the tire and measure the runout in
question.
• Record the magnitude and the location of the
high spot. (Valve stem is 12 o’clock.)
1. Mark the wheel hub bolt nearest the valve stem for
reference (figure 6).
2. Rotate the assembly two wheel hub bolts and recheck
the runout (figure 6).
• Several positions may have to be tried to locate
the optimum location.
• This can be effective for both radial and lateral
runouts.
3. If there is some looseness in the wheel hub bolt holes,
radial runout can be reduced by loosening the hub bolt
nuts slightly, moving the wheel position on the bolts
and then retightening the nuts.
4. Balance the tire and wheel to hub/rotor assembly.
• Compensates for any imbalance in the brake
rotor, drum, or wheel cover.
EXCESSIVELY TIGHT WHEELS
Use this procedure to remove the wheel and tire
assembly if it does not break free of the hub using a
standard removal procedure.
1. Tighten all the lug nuts on the affected wheel.
• Do not torque.
2. Raise the vehicle.
6. If the clock location of the high spot remained at or
near the clock location of the original high spot, the rim
is the major contributor to the runout problem.
• Confirm by removing the tire from the wheel and
check the wheel rim runout.
• If the wheel rim runout exceeds guidelines,
replace the wheel.
7. If the clock position of the high spot is 6 hours from the
original high spot, the tire is the major contributor to
the runout problem (figure 5).
• Replace the tire.
8. After correcting the tire to the wheel vectoring,
rebalance the wheel and tire assembly.
Figure 6—Tire and Wheel Assembly to Hub/Rotor
Vectoring
3E-6 WHEELS AND TIRES
3. Loosen each nut two turns.
4. Lower the vehicle to the floor.
5. Rock the vehicle from side to side to loosen the wheel.
Or rock the vehicle from forward to reverse allowing the
vehicle to move several feet in each direction. Apply
quick, hard jabs on the brake pedal to loosen the
wheel.
6. Raise the vehicle and remove the lug nuts and the
wheel.
SEPARATING THE TIRE
FROM THE WHEEL
N O TIC E: Use a tire c h a n g in g m a c h in e to
demount tires. Do not use hand tools or tire
irons alone to remove the tire from the wheel.
Damage to the tire beads or wheel rim could
result.
• Follow the tire changing machine m anufacturer’s
instructions to properly separate the tire from the
wheel.
MOUNTING THE TIRE ON
THE WHEEL
BIAS PLY TIRES
1. Clean the tire bead area.
RADIAL PLY TIRES
NOTICE: Recomm ended vehicle tire mounting
a n d in fla tio n p ro c e d u re s a re e s p e c ia lly
im portant with radial tires. Failure to follow
these procedures can cause bead deformation
in both tube type and tubeless tires due to
incorrect bead seating. Bead deformation may
lead to chafing, lower sidewall and bead area
cracking, eccentric wear, ride vibration and
nonretreadable castings.
Tube Type Tires
| 9 | Im portant
• Only use rims approved for radial tire usage by the
rim manufacturer.
1. Clean the rim parts.
• Remove all rust and other foreign material.
• Make sure the rim parts match and are not
sprung or broken.
2. Lubricate the tire beads, the portion of the tube
between the beads, and the flaps with an approved
rubber lubricant.
• Radial tubes are identifiable by the letter “ R” in
the size designation. A red band in the valve
stem and an “ R” in the flap size designation also
identify radial parts.

the wheel.
2. Clean the rim bead seats with a wire brush or coarse
steel wool to remove lubricants, old rubber, and light
rust.
3. Inflate to operating pressure, deflate completely, and
reinflate to operating pressure.
3. Apply an approved tire lubricant to the tire bead area.
• Allows the tube, flap, and tire to fit together
4. Attach the tire to the wheel.
• Use a tire ch an ging m achine. Follow the
equipment manufacturer’s instructions.
CAUTION: Do not stand over tire when inflating.
The bead may break when it snaps over the
safety hump, and cause serious personal injury.
Do not exceed 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure when
inflating. If 275 kPa (40 psi) pressure will not
seat beads, deflate, re-lubricate and reinflate.
Overinflation may cause the bead to break and
result in personal injury.
5. Install a valve core and inflate to the specified pressure
(figure 2).
• The locating rings on each side of the tire must
show above the rim flanges, positioned in direct
relation to the wheel (not eccentric as compared
with the rim).
6. Check the bead seating.
• T ire s m ust be m ounted and in fla te d in
accordance with the safety precautions included
with the tire mounting equipment.
p r o p e r ly .
4. Check the bead seating.
• Visually check the slot and side ring gap (on two
piece rims) to make sure the bead is seated.
5. Check the spacing between the rim flange and one of
the three lower sidewall rim line rings while the tire is
laying flat to verify bead seating.
• Measurements must be taken each 90 degrees
around the circumference of the rim flange.
• If the spacing is uneven around the bead from
side to side, repeat steps 1 through 3, then
recheck.
Installing Synthetic Tubes
NOTICE: When the tube and the flap are not
properly lubricated, and m ounted, they will
stretch thin in the tire bead and rim region. This
will cause premature wear.
1. Clean the inside of the casing.
2. Insert the tube in the tire and inflate until it is nearly
rounded out.
3. Inspect the rim for rust scale and bent flanges.
• Clean rust scale and straighten the flanges
where necessary.
WHEELS AND TIRES 3E-7
4. Apply a solution of neutral vegetable oil soap to the
inside and outside of the tire beads, and also the rim
side of the tube.
• Use a brush or a cloth swab.
• Do not allow the soap solution to run down into
the tire.
5. Follow the standard procedure when mounting the
tube and tire on a drop center rim. Be sure the tire is
centered on the rim so the beads are out of the rim well
before inflating. Do not allow the tire to hang loosely on
the wheel while inflating.
6. Center the valve and pull it firmly against the rim. Hold
in this position and inflate until the tire beads are firmly
seated on the rim against the flanges.
7. Remove the valve core to completely deflate the tire.
8. Reinflate the tire to the recommended pressure.
• R efer to “ Tire Load Lim its And In fla tio n
Pressure” at the end of this section.
Tubeless Tires
| j | Im portant
• Only use rims approved for radial tire usage by the
rim manufacturer.
1. Clean the rim.
• Remove all rust and other foreign material.
2. Lubricate tire beads and rim bead seats with an
approved rubber lubricant.
N O T IC E :

lubricants— this could cause the tire to slip on
the wheel.
3. Inflate the tire to operating pressure.
• Due to the construction of radial truck tires,
particularly in the lower sidewall and bead area,
it may be difficult to get the tire to take air.
• An inflation aid may be necessary to help seat
the bead of tubeless radial tires. Two types of
inflation aids are commercially available—metal
rings which use compressed air to seat beads,
and rubber rings which seal between the tire
bead and rim bead seat allowing the bead to
move out and seat. Lubrication is necessary with
both aids.
4. Check the spacing between the rim flange and one of
the three lower sidewall rim line rings while the tire is
laying flat to verify bead seating.
• Measurements must be taken each 90 degrees
around the circumference of the rim flange.
• If the spacing is uneven around the bead from
side to side, repeat steps 1 through 3, then
recheck.
Im portant
• This procedure must be followed to insure proper
bead seating in order to prevent bead deformation.
• Radial tires, as well as bias tires, must be mounted
and inflated in accordance with safety precautions
noted in RMA Radial and Bias Truck Tire Service
Manuals.
INSTALLING THE TIRE AND

DESCRIPTION
PROPELLER SHAFT
Torque is transmitted from the transm ission to the rear
axle through one or more propeller shafts and universal
joint assemblies. The num ber of propeller shafts and
universal joint assemblies vary with the vehicle wheel
base, and the combination of transm ission, transfer case
(front drive) and rear axle equipment.
All propeller shafts are the balanced tubular type (figure
1). A splined slip joint is provided in some drivelines and
others use a companion flange at the transmission end of
the driveline. If two or more propeller shafts are used on a
vehicle the slip joint is usually at the forward end of the
rear propeller shaft.
Phasing
The propeller shaft is designed and built with the yoke
lugs (ears) in line with each other (figure 1). This design
produces the smoothest running shaft possible, and is
called phasing.
Vibration can be caused by an out of phase propeller
shaft. The propeller shaft will absorb vibrations from
speeding up and slowing down each tim e the universal
joint goes around. This vibration would be the same as a
person sn ap ping a rope and w atch in g the “ w ave”
reaction flow to the end. A propeller shaft working in
phase would be sim ilar to two persons snapping a rope at
the same time, and watching the “ waves” meet and
cancel each other out. In comparison this would be the
same as the universal joints on a propeller shaft. A total
cancellation of vibration produces a smooth flow of power
in the driveline. It is very important to reference mark the
p ro p e lle r s h a ft b efo re rem oval, to a ssure pha sed
in s ta lla tio n a lig n m e n t. Som e p ro p e lle r shafts have
alignm ent marks or arrows stamped on the shaft at the
tim e of production.
CENTER BEARING
Center bearings support the driveline when two or more
propeller shafts are used. The center bearing is a ball
type bearing mounted in a rubber cushion that is attached
to a frame crossmember. The bearing is pre-lubricated
and sealed by the m anufacturer (figure 2).
UNIVERSAL JOINT
A universal joint is two Y-shaped yokes connected by a
crossm em ber called a spider. The spider is shaped like a
cross having arms of equal length called trunnions (figure
3).
4A -2 PROPELLER SHAFT
Universal joints are designed to handle the effects of
v a rio u s lo a d in g s a n d re a r a x le w in d u p d u rin g
acceleration. W ithin the designed angle variations the
universal joint will operate efficiently and safely. When the
design angle is changed or exceeded the operational life
of the joint may decrease.
The trunnion bearings used in universal joints are the
needle roller type. The needle rollers are held in place on
the trunnions by round bearing cups. The bearing cups
are held in the yokes by e ithe r (depending on the
manufacturer) snap rings or injected plastic.
When a driveline has a large or deep angle a constant
velocity joint is used. Essentially, the constant velocity
joint is made of two universal joints coupled by a yoke and
phased for constant velocity. A centering ball socket
between the joints keeps a relative position between the
two joints. This centering device causes each of the two
units to operate through one half of the complete angle
between the propeller shaft and the differential carrier

DIAGNOSIS OF DRIVELINE VIBRATION
(ROAD TEST)
Four major component groups are usually the cause of
or are related to vibration. When a technician is road test
ing a vehicle for vibration he must remember the four ma
jor component groups:
1. Engine and mounts.
2. Clutch and transmission.
3. Tires, wheels and brake drums.
4. Propeller shaft and universal joints.
Before road testing a vehicle, check the following:
1. In or out of phase propeller shaft.
2. All fasteners for tightness at universal joints, wheel
lugs and engine mounts.
3. T ire a ir pressure.
4. Load conditions.
ROAD TEST
A technician should road test the vehicle to diagnose
exactly what the com plaint is. Record the speed and rpm
at which the greatest vibration occurs. The vibration is
likely to be in two places, in the steering wheel or in the
seat bottom. The road test can be helpful in locating the
vibration source either forward or aft.
COAST TEST
Drive the vehicle past the vibration speed, shift into
neutral and coast back through the vibration speed. In
this test two kinds of vibration normally occur; a shaking
or a buzzing. A shaking vibration is usually tires or a
wheel and brake drum /disc assembly problem. A buzzing
vibration is usually a driveline problem.

LUBRICATION
The front axle propeller shaft found on four-wheel drive
vehicles requires a special lubricant at two locations: the
constant velocity joint, and the slip yoke.
Constant Velocity Joint (C/V Joint)
The constant velocity (C/V) joint, located at the transfer
case end of the front propeller shaft, must be lubricated
p e rio d ic a lly w ith a s p e c ia l lu b ric a n t, 1050679 or
equivalent. If the lubrication fitting cannot be seen from
beneath the vehicle refer to figure 9 which shows how the
C/V joint may be lubricated from above, with a special
adapter J-25512-2 on the end of a flex hose (figure 9).
Slip Spline
Apply chassis lubricant at the slip spline grease fitting
until the grease begins to leave through the vent hole.
If the slip spline is dry or corroded, it may be necessary
to disconnect the propeller shaft from the vehicle, remove
the slip yoke, and wire brush the affected area. Wipe
clean before installation.

DESCRIPTION
Light duty trucks use various rear axles. These axles
can be identified by ring gear size in inches, by m anufac
turer (Corporate, Dana, or Rockwell) and by the type of
axle shaft used (Semi-Floating or Full Floating). Corporate
axles include the 8 V2 , 91fe and 101/2-inch ring gear axles.
Dana also supplies a 101/2-inch ring gear axle as well as a
9 3/4-inch ring gear axle. The 12-inch ring gear axle is sup
plied by Rockwell, and uses rear wheel disc brakes.
REAR AXLE OPERATION
A basic differential has a set of four gears. Two are
called differential side gears and the other two are
differential pinion gears. Some differentials have more
than two pinions. Each side gear is splined to an axle
shaft, therefore each axle shaft must turn when its side
gear rotates.
The d iffe re n tia l p in io n g ea rs are m ou nte d on a
differential pinion shaft, and the gears are free to rotate on
this shaft. The pinion shaft is fitted into a bore in the
differential case and is at right angles to the axle shafts.
Power flow through the differential is as follows: the
drive pinion rotates the ring gear. The ring gear, being
bolted to the differential case, rotates the case. The
differential pinion, as it rotates with the case, forces the
pinion gears against the side gears. When both wheels
have equal traction, the pinion gears do not rotate on the
pinion shaft because the input force on the pinion gear is
equally divided between the two side gears. Therefore,
the pinion gears revolve with the pinion shaft, but do not
4B1-2 REAR AXLE
rotate around the shaft itself. The side gears, being
splined to the axle shafts and in mesh with the pinion
gears, rotate the axle shafts.
If a vehicle were always driven in a straight line, the ring
and pinion gears would be sufficient. The axle shaft could
then be solidly attached to the ring gear and both driving
wheels would turn at equal speed.
However, if it became necessary to turn a corner, the
tires would scuff and slide because the outside wheel
would travel further than the inside wheel. To prevent tire
scuffing and sliding, the differential becomes effective
and allows the axle shafts to rotate at different speeds.
When the vehicle turns a corner, the outer rear wheel
must turn faster than the inner wheel. The inner wheel
turns slower than the outer wheel and slows its rear axle
side gear (as the axle shaft is splined to the side gear)
and the rear axle pinion gears will roll around the slowed
rear axle side gear, driving the other rear axle side gear
and wheel faster.
LOCKING REAR AXLE
Eaton Locking Differential
T he lo c k in g re a r d iffe re n tia l a llo w s fo r n o rm a l
differential function as indicated in the standard rear axle
description. Additionally, the locking rear differential uses
m u lti- d is c c lu tc h p a c k s and a s p e e d s e n s itiv e
engagem ent mechanism that locks both wheels together
if one wheel should spin excessively during slow vehicle
operation.
Under light loads, the clutch plates alone tend to lock
axle shafts to the differential case, and therefore, each
other. This is due prim arily to the gear separating load
developed on the right side clutch pack. This induced
clutch torque capacity resists motion between the side
gear and the rear axle differential case. The axle shaft
torques developed when turning a corner will overcome
this capacity and allow differentiation. Also, heavier
throttle application will cause differential, but this starts
the full-lock feature of the unit.
Full locking is accom plished through the use of a
heavyweight governor m echanism , cam system , and
multi-disc clutch packs. The flyweights on the governor
m echanism move outward to engage a latching bracket
w h e n e v e r th e w h e e l-to -w h e e l s p e e d v a rie s by
approximately 100 rpm or more. This action retards a cam
which, in turn, compresses the multi-disc clutch packs
locking both side gears to the case. The 100 rpm
w he el-to -w he e l speed allo w s fo r co rn e rin g w ith o u t
differential lock-up.
At vehicle speeds above approximately 32.2 km/h (20
mph), the latching bracket overcomes a spring preload
and swings away from the flyweights. At this vehicle
speed or greater, the differential will not lock, as the
added traction is generally not required.
All gear axle parts of vehicles equipped with the locking
rear axle are interchangeable with those equipped with
the conventional rear axle, except for the case assembly.
DIAGNOSIS OF THE REAR AXLE
The most essential part of rear axle service, as with any
m echanical repair, is proper diagnosis of the problem,
and, in axle work one of the most difficult areas to diag
nose is noise. Locating a broken axle shaft, or broken
differential gear, presents little or no problem, but, locat
ing and isolating axle noise can be an entirely different
matter.
Degree of Noise
Any gear driven unit, especially an automotive drive
axle where engine torque m ultiplication occurs at a 90
degree turn in the drive line, produces a certain amount of
noise. Therefore, an interpretation must be made for each
vehicle to determine w hether the noise is normal or if a
problem actually exists. A normal amount of noise must
be expected and cannot be elim inated by conventional
repairs or adjustment.
Acceptable noise can be defined as a slight noise heard
only at a certain speed or under unusual or remote
conditions. For example, this noise tends to reach a
“ peak” at speeds from 40 to 60 miles per hour (60 to 100
km/h) depending on road and load conditions, or on gear
ratio and tire size. This slight noise is in no way indicative
of trouble in the axle assembly.
D riv e lin e n o is e s m a y b a ffle e ven th e b e s t
d ia g n o s tic ia n . V e h ic le n o is e s co m in g from tire s ,
transmission, propeller shaft, universal joints, and front or
rear wheel bearings, are often mistaken for axle noise.
Such practices as: raising tire pressure to eliminate tire
noise (although this will not silence tread noise of mud
and snow tires), listening for the noise at varying speeds
and road surfaces, on drive, float, and coast conditions
will aid in locating the source of alleged axle noises. Thus,
every effort should be made to isolate the noise to a
specific drive line component instead of m aking a random
guess that could be a costly waste of time.
DETERMINING THE TYPE
OF NOISE
External Noise
When a rear axle is suspected of being noisy, it is
advisable to make a thorough test to determ ine whether
the noise originates in the tires, road surface, front wheel
bearings, engine, transm ission, or rear axle assembly.
N oise w h ic h o rig in a te s in o th e r p la c e s c a n n o t be
corrected by adjustment or replacement of parts in the
rear axle assembly.
Road Noise— Some road surfaces, such as brick or
rough-surfaced concrete, cause noise which may be
mistaken for tire or rear axle noise. Driving on a different
type of road, such as smooth asphalt or dirt, will quickly
show whether the road surface is the cause of noise.
Road noise usually is the same on drive or coast.
Tire Noise—Tire noise may easily be mistaken for rear
axle noise, even though the noisy tires may be located on
the front wheels. Tires worn unevenly, or having surfaces
on non-skid divisions worn in saw-tooth fashion, are
REAR AXLE 4B1-3
usually noisy and may produce vibrations which seem to
originate elsewhere in the vehicle. This is particularly true
with low tire pressure.
Tire Noise Test—Tire noise changes with different
road surfaces, but rear axle noise does not. Temporarily
inflating all tires to 345 kilopascals (50 pounds per square
inch) pressure, for test purposes only will materially alter
noise caused by tires but will not affect noise caused by
the rear axle. Rear axle noise usually stops when
coasting at speeds under 30 miles per hour; however, tire
noise continues but with lower tone as the vehicle speed
is reduced. R ear axle noise usually changes when
comparing “ p u ll” and “ coast” but tire noise remains
about the same.
Engine and Transmission Noises—Som etim es a
noise which seems to originate in the rear axle is actually
caused by the engine or transm ission. To determ ine
w h ich u n it is a c tu a lly c a u s in g th e noise, o b se rve
approximate car speeds and conditions under which the
noise is most pronounced; then stop the vehicle in a quiet
place to avoid interfering noises. With the transm ission in
neutral, run the engine slowly up and down through the
engine speeds corresponding to the vehicle speed at
which the noise was most pronounced. If a sim ilar noise
is produced with the vehicle standing, it is caused by the
engine or transm ission and not the rear axle.
Front Wheel Bearing Noise— Loose or rough front
wheel bearings will cause noise which may be confused
with rear axle noise; however, front wheel bearing noise
does not change when com paring “ p ull” and “ coast.”
Light application of the brake, while holding the vehicle
speed steady, will often cause the wheel bearing noise to
dim inish, as this takes some weight off of the bearing.
Front wheel bearings may be easily checked for noise by
jacking up the wheels and spinning them, and also by
shaking the wheels to determ ine if the bearings are
excessively loose.
Body Boom Noise or Vibration—Objectional “ body
boom” noise or vibration at 5 5 -6 5 mph (90-100 km/h) can
be caused by an unbalanced propeller shaft. Excessive
looseness at the spline can contribute to this unbalance.
O ther items that may also contribute to the noise
problem are as follows:
1. Undercoating or mud on the shaft, causing unbalance.
2. Shaft or companion flange balance weights missing.
3. Shaft damage, such as bending, dents, or nicks.
4. Tire-type roughness. Switch tires from a known good
vehicle to determine a tire fault.
If, after making a comprehensive check of the vehicle,
all indications point to the rear axle, further diagnostic
steps are necessary to determine the axle components at
fa u lt. True rear axle noise g e n e ra lly fa lls into two
categories: gear noise and bearing noise.
Rear Axle Noises
If a careful test of the vehicle shows that the noise is not
caused by external items, it is then reasonable to assume
that noise is caused by the rear axle assembly. Test the
rear axle on a smooth level road to avoid road noise. It is
not advisable to test the rear axle for noise by running
with the rear wheels jacked up.
Noise in the rear axle assem bly may be caused by a
faulty propeller shaft, faulty rear wheel bearings, faulty
d iffe re n tia l or p in io n sh a ft b e a rin g s , m is a lig n m e n t
Figure 1—Causes of Gear Noise
between two U-joints, or worn differential side gears and
pinions; noise may also be caused by a mism atched,
improperly adjusted, or scored, ring and pinion gear set.
Rear Wheel Bearing Noise—A rough rear w heel
bearing produces a vibration or growl which continues
with the vehicle coasting and the transm ission in neutral.
A brinelled rear wheel bearing causes a knock or click
approximately every two revolutions of the rear wheel,
since the bearing rollers do not travel at the same speed
as the rear axle and wheel. W ith the rear wheels jacked
up, spin the rear wheels by hand while listening at the
hubs for evidence of a rough or brinelled wheel bearing.
Differential Side Gear and Pinion Noise— Differentia!
side gears and pinions seldom cause noise since their
movement is relatively slight on straight ahead driving.
Noise produced by these gears will be most pronounced
on turns.
Pinion Bearing failures can be distinguished because
th e y rotate at h ig h e r sp ee ds than d iffe re n tia l side
bearings and axle shaft bearings. Rough or brinelled
pin ion b e a rin g s p ro du ce a c o n tin u o u s low p itch e d
w hirring or scraping noise starting at a low speed.
Side Bearings produce a constant rough noise pitched
lower than pinion bearing noise. Side bearing noise may
also fluctuate in the above rear wheel bearing test.
Gear Noise
There are two basic types of gear noise. The first type is
produced by broken, bent, or forcibly damaged gear teeth
and is usually quite audible over the entire speed range
and presents no particular problem in diagnosis. For
example, hypoid gear tooth scoring generally results from
the following: insufficient lubricant, im proper break-in,
improper lubricant, insufficient gear backlash, im proper
ring and pinion gear alignment, or loss of drive pinion nut
torque. The scoring will progressively lead to complete
erosion of the gear tooth, or gear tooth pitting and then
eventual fracture if the initial scoring condition is not
corrected (figure 1). A nother cause of hypoid tooth
fracture is extended overloading of the gear set which will
produce fatigue fracture, or shock loading which will
result in sudden failure.

Differential pinion and side gears rarely give trouble.
Common causes of differential failure are shock loading,
extended overloading, and seizure of the differential
pinions to the cross shaft resulting from excessive wheel
spin and consequent lubrication breakdown. The second
type of gear noise pertains to the mesh pattern of the gear
te e th . T h is fo rm of a b n o rm a l g e a r n o ise can be
recognized because it produces a cycling pitch (whine)
and will be very pronounced in the speed range at which
it occurs, appearing under either “ drive,” or “ flo at” or
“ coast” conditions. “ Drive” is acceleration or heavy pull.
“ Coast” is with a closed throttle and the vehicle in gear
and “ flo at” is using just enough throttle to keep the
vehicle from driving the engine; the vehicle slows down
gradually but the engine still pulls slightly. Gear noise
tends to peak in a narrow speed range or ranges, and will
tend to remain constant in pitch. Bearing noise will vary in
pitch with vehicle speeds.
Refer to figures 2 through 5 for bearing diagnosis.

DESCRIPTION
The front axle is a hypoid gear axle unit equipped with
steering knuckles and an automatic or manual locking
hub. The V-10/15 and 20/25 models use a Chevrolet front
axle having an 8 1/2-inch ring gear axle rated at 3600
pounds for the V-10/15 and 3800 pounds for the V-20/25. A
Dana (60 Series) axle is used on the V-30/35 model and is
rated at 4500 pound capacity. The Dana axle has a 9 3/4inch ring gear. Automatic hub locks are used on all
models to engage the hub whenever four-wheel drive is
selected. A manual locking hub is used on the V-30/35
model only and must be engaged manually whenever
four-wheel drive is selected.
4C-2 FRONT AXLE
DIAGNOSIS OF THE FRONT AXLE
ROAD TEST
•
•
•
•
•
Check tires for irregular wear.
Check tire pressure.
Check axle lubricant level.
Drive to warm up the front axle.
Test at various speeds in drive, float, coast and
while cornering.
• Verify that the hubs are locked.
TIRE NOISES
•
•
•
•
•
Change the tire pressure to minimize noises.
Drive over different road surfaces.
Smooth black-top minimizes tire noise.
Cross switch the tires, if necessary.
Snow tire treads and studs cause added noises.
ENGINE OR EXHAUST NOISES
• Drive slightly above the speed where the noise occurs,
place transmission in neutral.
• Let the engine speed drop to idle.
• Stop the vehicle.
• Run the engine at various speeds.
TEST FOR WHEEL BEARING NOISE
• Drive the vehicle at low speed on a smooth road.
• Turn the vehicle to develop left and right motions,
traffic permitting.
• Noise should change due to cornering loads.
• Jack-up wheels to verify roughness at the wheels.
‘ TEST FOR DIFFERENTIAL
BEARING NOISE
•
•
•
•
Drive the vehicle at low speed on a smooth road.
Constant low pitch bearing noise may be heard.
Noise should not change in reversing turns.
The noise pattern should vary with the wheel speed.
*TEST FOR PINION BEARING
NOISE
• Rough running or a whine noise should increase
with speed.
• Noise pitch should be higher than differential noise.
• Perform the test on a smooth road to m inimize tire
noises.
• Perform test at various speeds in drive, float, and
coast.
• Rear pin ion b earing noise m ay be lo u d e r on
acceleration.
• Front p in ion b earing noise m ay be lo u d e r on
deceleration.
• Gear noise tends to peak in a narrow speed range.
‘ Bearing tests should be done in 2H (after 4H selection to
lock hubs). This removes the transfer case whine.

BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
ROAD TESTING THE BRAKES
EXTERNAL CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT
BRAKE PERFORMANCE
BRAKE TEST
The brakes should be tested on a dry, clean, reasonably
s m o o th and le ve l roa dw a y. A tru e te s t of b ra ke
perform ance cannot be made if the roadway is wet,
greasy or covered with loose dirt so that all the tires do
not grip the road equally. The testing will be adversely
affected if the roadway is crowned so as to throw the
weight of the vehicle toward the wheels on one side or if
the roadway is so rough that the wheels tend to bounce.
Test the brakes at different vehicle speeds with both
light and heavy pressure; however, avoid locking the
wheels and sliding the tires on the roadway. Locked
wheels and sliding tires do not indicate brake efficiency
since heavily braked turning wheels will stop the vehicle
in less distance than locked wheels. More tire-to-road
friction is present with a heavily braked turning tire than
with a sliding tire.
1. Tires—Tires having unequal contact and grip on the
road will cause unequal braking. The tires must be
equally inflated and the tread pattern of the right
and left tires must be about equal.
2. Vehicle Loading—When the vehicle has unequal
loading, the most heavily loaded wheels require
more braking power than the others.
3. F ro n t W heel B e a rin g s — L o o s e fr o n t w h e e l
bearings permit the disc to tilt and have spotty
contact with the linings causing erratic action.
4. Front End Alignment—M isalignm ent of the front
end, particularly in regard to limits on camber and
caster, will cause the brakes to pull to one side.

HYDRAULIC BRAKES 5A-5
ON VEHICLE SERVICE
BLEEDING THE BRAKE
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
A bleeding operation is necessary if air has been
introduced into the hydraulic brake system.
It may be necessary to bleed the system at all four
wheels if air has been introduced by a low fluid level
condition in the master cylinder or if the brake pipes have
been disconnected at either the master cylinder or the
com bination valve. If a pipe is disconnected at one wheel,
then only bleed that particular wheel.
The tim e required to bleed the hydraulic system when
the master cylinder is removed can be reduced if the
master cylinder is filled with fluid and as much air as
possible is bled from the cylinder before installing it on
the vehicle.
MANUAL BLEEDING
If the vehicle is equipped with power brakes, deplete
the vacuum reserve by applying the brakes several tim es
with the engine off.
Use extreme care to prevent brake fluid from contacting
any painted surface.
1. Fill the master cylinder reservoirs with brake fluid
specified in MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
(Sec. OB).
• Maintain the fluid level in the reservoir during
the bleeding operation.
2. If the master cylinder is suspected to have air in the
bore, it must be bled before any wheel cylinder or
caliper.
• Remove the forward brake pipe connection at
the master cylinder.
• Allow brake fluid to flow from the connector
port.
• Connect the brake pipe but do not tighten.
3. Slowly depress the brake pedal allowing the air to
bleed from the loose fitting.
• Tighten the fitting before releasing the pedal.
• Wait 15 seconds, and repeat this sequence,
including the 15 second wait until all the air is
purged from the bore.
4. After all the air has been removed from the forward
connection disconnect the rear pipe.
• Allow brake fluid to flow from the connector
port.
• Connect the brake pipe but do not tighten.
5. Slowly depress the brake pedal allowing the air to
bleed from the loose fitting.
• Tighten the fitting before releasing the pedal.
• Wait 15 seconds, and repeat this sequence,
including the 15 second wait until all the air is
purged from the bore.
6. If it is known that the calipers and wheel cylinders
do not contain any air, then it will not be necessary
to continue. Otherwise bleed each wheel in the
following sequence.
• Right rear
• Left rear
• Right front
• Left front
7. Attach a hose to the wheel cylinder/caliper bleeder
screw.
• Immerse the opposite end of the hose into a
container partially filled with clean brake fluid.
8. Slowly depress the brake pedal one tim e and hold.
• Loosen the bleeder screw to purge the air from
the wheel cylinder/caliper.
• Tighten the bleeder screw and slowly release
the pedal.
• Wait 15 seconds, then repeat this sequence,
including the 15 second wait until all the air is
purged from the wheel cylinder/caliper.
9. Continue steps 7 and 8 at each wheel until the
entire brake system has been bled.
10. Check the brake pedal for “ sponginess” and the
bra ke w a rn in g la m p fo r an in d ic a tio n o f an
unbalanced pressure. Repeat the entire bleeding
procedure to correct either of these two conditions.
PRESSURE BLEEDING
The pressure bleeding equipm ent m ust be of the
d ia ph rag m type. It m ust have a rub be r d ia p h ra g m
between the air supply and the brake fluid to prevent air,
moisture, oil, and other contaminants from entering the
hydraulic system. Also adapters are needed, depending
on the type of master cylinder used.
Tools Required:
J -2 9 5 6 7 B rake B le e d e r A d a p te r (P la s tic
Reservoir)
J-23518-01 Brake Bleeder Adapter (Cast Iron
Reservoir)
J-23709 Com bination Valve Depressor
NOTICE: It is very important that the correct
m aster cylinder bleed er adapter be used to
avoid possible damage to the master cylinder
reservoir.
1. Fill the pressure tank at least 1/3 full of brake fluid.
The bleeder must be re-bled each tim e fluid is
added.
• Charge the bleeder to 140 - 170 kPa (20 to 25
psi).
2. Use J-23709 to depress and hold the valve stem on
the combination valve during the bleeding operation
(figure 1).
• Install the correct bleeder adapter (figures 2
and 3).
3. Bleed each wheel in the following sequence.
• Right rear
• Left rear
• Right front
• Left front
4. Connect the hose from the bleeder to the adapter at
the master cylinder.
• Open the tank valve.
5. Attach a hose to a brake bleeder screw.
• Immerse the opposite end of the hose into a
container partially filled with clean brake fluid.
5A-6 HYDRAULIC BRAKES
B-07785
Figure 1—Installing Combination Valve Depresser
6. Open the bleeder screw at least 3/4 of a turn and
allow the fluid to flow until no air is seen in the fluid.
• Close the bleeder screw.
7. Repeat step six at all the wheels.
8. Check the brake pedal for “ sponginess” , repeat the
entire bleeding procedure if this condition is found.
9. Remove J-23709.
• Disconnect the line from the bleeder adapter.
• Remove bleeder adapter.
10. Fill the master cylinder to the proper level with brake
fluid.
______________________________________________ B-07783
Figure 3— Cast Iron Reservoir Bleeder Adapter
FLUSHING THE BRAKE
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
It is recommended that the entire hydraulic system be
thoroughly flushed with clean brake fluid whenever new
parts are installed in the hydraulic system.
Flushing is also recommended if there is any doubt as
to the grade of fluid in the system or if fluid has been used
which contains the slightest trace of mineral oil. Flush the
system whenever there is any question of contamination.
Flushing is performed at each bleeder valve in the
same manner as the bleeding operation, except that the
bleeder valve is opened 1 1/2 turns and the fluid is forced
through the lines and bleeder valves until it emerges clear
in color. Refer to “ Bleeding the Brake Hydraulic System” ,
in this section.
Check master cylinder fluid level after flushing at each
valve and re p le n is h if re q u ire d . W hen flu s h in g is
completed at all bleeder valves, make certain the master
cylinder reservoir is filled to proper level.
BRAKE PIPES AND HOSES
T h e h y d r a u lic b ra k e s y s te m c o m p o n e n ts are
interconnected by special steel piping and flexible hoses.
Flexible hoses are used between the frame and the front
calipers, and the frame and rear differential. When the
hydraulic pipes have been disconnected for any reason,
the brake system must be bled after reconnecting the
pipe, refer to “ Bleeding the Brake Hydraulic System” in
this section.
HYDRAULIC BRAKES 5A-7
FLEXIBLE HOSE
On the front brakes the hose is connected to the caliper
with a bolt and copper washers. The fitting at the other
end of the hose is secured at the frame with either a nut
or a clip.
At the rear differential one end of the hose is connected
to the differential with a bolt. The other end is secured at
the frame with either a nut or a clip.
Flexible Hose Inspection
The flexible hoses should be inspected for any signs of
road damage which will cause cracks and chafing of the
other cover. If any of these conditions are visible, replace
the hose.

BRAKE PIPES
When replacing a steel brake pipe, always use steel
piping which is designed to withstand high pressure and
resist corrosion. The same size pipe must be used as the
one removed.
NOTICE: Never use copper tubing for hydraulic
brake lines because copper is subject to fatique
cracking, and corrosion which could result in
brake failure.
Brake pipes that run parallel to each other must
maintain a 6 mm (1/4-inch) clearance.
Pipe Flaring (Figure 5)
Tools Required:
J-23530 Flaring Tool.
J-23533-B Tube Cutter.
In order to ensure a proper flare, a special flaring tool
must be used. When using the tool, instruction furnished
by the tool manufacturer should be followed. Always
inspect newly formed flares for cracks or malformations
which m ight cause leaks. After flaring, blow out the brake
pipe with compressed air before installing on the vehicle.
NOTICE: Double lap flaring tool must be used,
as single flaring tools cannot produce a flare
strong enough to hold the necessary pressure.
1. Use steel pipe and fittings of the correct size. The
outside diameter of the pipe is used to specify the
size.
2. Cut the pipe to length. Add 3 mm (Vs-inch) to the
length for each flare.
3. Flare the pipe ends by following the instructions with
the tool.
4. Bend the pipe to match the old pipe by using a pipe
bender.
COMBINATION VALVE
The combination valve is comprised of three sections,
each serving a different function (figure 6).
The metering or hold off section of the valve limits the
pressure to the front disc brakes until a predetermined
front input pressure is reached, enough to overcome the
rear shoe retractor springs. There is no restriction to the
inlet pressures below 20 kPa (3 psi) to allow for pressure
equalization during the no apply periods.
The proportioning section of the com bination valve
proportions outlet pressure to the rear brakes after a
predetermined rear input pressure has been reached.
This is done to prevent rear wheel lock-up on the vehicles
with light rear wheel loads.
The valve is designed to have a By-Pass feature which
assures full system pressure to the rear brakes in the
event of a front brake system malfunction, also full front
pressure is retained in the event of rear m alfunction.
The pressure differential warning switch is designed to
constantly compare front and rear brake pressure from
the master cylinder and energize the warning lamp on the
dash in the event of a front or rear system malfunction.
The valve and switch are so designed that the switch will
latch in the “ w arning” position once a malfunction has
occured. The only way the lamp can be turned off is to
repair the m alfunction and apply a pedal force required to
develop about 3102 kPa (450 psi) line pressure.
ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT TEST
1. Disconnect the wire from the switch on the valve.
• Connect a jum per wire from the switch wire to
ground.
2. Turn the ignition key to “ O N ” .
• The warning lamp should light.
• If the lamp will not light check the bulb. If the
bulb is good, refer to Chasis Electrical (Sec.
8B) for further diagnosis.
3. Turn the ignition off.
• Disconnect jum per wire and connect the wire
to the switch terminal.
Valve Warning Switch Test
1. Raise the vehicle.
• Support with suitable safety stands.
2. Attach a hose to a rear brake bleeder screw.
• Immerse the opposite end of the hose into a
container partially filled with clean brake fluid.
• Make sure the master cylinder reservoir is full.

MASTER CYLINDERS
Figure 25—Composite Master Cylinder
DESCRIPTION
There are two designs of master cylinders available
depending on the brake option.
O ne is a fu ll c a s t iro n d e s ig n in c o rp o ra tin g a
conventional front to rear brake split (figure 24). The
primary piston provides the fluid pressure to the front
brakes, while the secondary piston provides the fluid
pressure to the rear brakes. If the pressure is lost from
either system, the remaining system will function to stop
the vehicle.
The second style master cylinder is designed for use
with a system using the low drag calipers (figure 25). In
addition to the standard master cylinder functions, a quick
take-up feature is included. This provides a large volume
of fluid to the wheels at low pressure with the initial brake
application. This large volum e of fluid is needed to
overcome the clearance created by the seal retracting the
pistons into the front calipers and the spring retraction of
the rear drum brake shoes.

Bleed the brakes, refer to “ Bleeding the Brake
Hydraulic System” in this section.
Release the parking brakes.
The purpose of bench bleeding is to remove the air
from the master cylinder so when it is installed on the
vehicle, the brake system bleeding will be reduced.
1. Plug the outlet ports and m ount the master cylinder
in a vise with the front end tilted slightly down.
2. Fill the reservoir with clean brake fluid.
Using a tool with a smooth rounded end tool,
stroke the prim ary piston about 25 mm (1-inch)
several times.
As air is bled from the master cylinder, with the
outlets plugged, the
resistance to the prim ary
piston travel will not allow the full 25 mm (1-inch)
stroke.
3. Reposition the master cylinder in the vise with the
front end of the master cylinder tilted slightly up.
Again stroke the prim ary piston about 25 mm
(1-inch) several times.
4. Reposition the master cylinder in the vise to the
level position. Loosen the plugs one at a time and
push the piston into the bore to force the air from the
cylinder. To prevent air from being sucked back into
the cylinder, tighten the plug(s) before allowing the
piston to return to its original position.
5. Fill the reservoir.
Normal bleeding procedures should be followed
after the master cylinder is installed.

5A1-2 HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEMS
HYDRO-BOOST SYSTEM TESTS
The Hydro-Boost system receives its source of power
fro m th e p o w e r s te e r in g s y s te m . T h e re fo re a
m alfunctioning power steering system may affect the
operation of the booster, just as a problem in the booster
may affect the steering system. Prior to performing any
tests, the following checks must be made.
1. C heck all the pow er ste ering and brake pipe
connections for leaks or restriction.
NOTICE: Power steering fluid and brake fluid
cannot bemixed. If brakesealscontact steering
fluid or steering seals contact brake fluid, seal
damage will result.
2. Check and fill the brake master cylinder with brake
fluid.
3. Check and fill the power steering reservior with
power steering fluid. If fluid contains air refer to
P O W E R S T E E R IN G (S e c. 3 B 3 ) fo r fu r th e r

NOISE DIAGNOSIS
T h e fo llo w in g n o is e s a re a s s o c ia te d w ith th e
Hydro-Boost and may or may not be cause for custom er
complaint. Some noises are normal and for the most part
temporary in nature. Other noises may be a sign of
excessive wear or the presence of air in either the booster
or the steering system.
1. A moan or low frequency hum usually accompanied
by a vibration in the pedal or steering column may
be observed during parking maneuvers or other low
speed maneuvers. This may be caused by a low
fluid level in the power steering pump or by air in the
fluid. Holding the pump at relief pressure (steering
wheel held all the way in one direction) for more
than five seconds will cause air to enter the system.
Check the fluid level and fill if needed. The system
must then sit for one hour to remove the air. If the
condition persists, refer to POWER STEERING
(Sec. 3B3).
2. A high speed fluid noise may be heard when the
brake pedal is fully depressed, this condition is
normal.
3. Whenever the accum ulator pressure is used, a
slight hiss may be noticed. It is the sound of the
hydraulic fluid escaping through the accumulator
valve, and is completely normal.
4. After the accum ulator has been emptied, and the
engine is started again, another hissing sound may
be heard during the first brake application or the
first steering maneuver. This is caused by the fluid
rushing through the accum ulator charging orifice. It
is normal and will only be heard once after the
accum ulator is em ptied. However, if this sound
continues, even though no apparent accum ulator
pressure assist was made, it could be an indication
that the accum ulator is not holding pressure and
should be checked using the procedure for the
“ Accum ulator Leakdown Test” in this section.
BOOSTER FUNCTIONAL TEST
With the engine off, apply the brake pedal several times
until the accum ulator is completely depleted. Depress the
brake pedal using 180 N (40 lbs.) of force and start the
engine. The pedal will fall and then push back against
your foot.
ACCUMULATOR LEAKDOWN TEST
1. Start the engine and charge the accum ulator by
applying the brake pedal or by turning the steering
wheel from stop to stop. Turn off the engine and let
the vehcile sit for one hour. After one hour there
should be at least two power assisted applications
with the engine off.
2. If the reserve system will not retain a charge for one
hour, but functions norm ally immediately following
charging, the accum ulator valves are at fault and
th e b o o s te r m u st be d is a s s e m b le d and th e
accum ulator valves replaced.
3. If the accum ulator can be heard charging and
d is c h a rg in g , b u t it d o e s not hold a c h a rg e ,
d is a s s e m b le th e b o o s te r and re p la c e th e
accum ulator valves.
HYDRAULIC BRAKE BOOSTER SYSTEMS 5A1 -3
4. Deplete the accum ulator by pressing the brake
pedal several times. If the accum ulator can has lost
its gas charge, it is possible to rotate or wobble the
a ccu m u la to r can w ith resp ect to the housing.
Replace the accum ulator assembly.
C.
SEAL LEAK DIAGNOSIS (FIGURE 1)
A. INPUT ROD SEAL. A dam aged seal will show up as
a fluid leak from the mounting bracket vent hole.
The booster must be removed from the vehicle and
d isa sse m b le d . T he in p u t rod bore s h o u ld be
checked for any scratches that may cause the leak.
If scratches are present, the housing cover must be
replaced. If no excessive scratches are present,
then the booster seal kit can be used to replace the
appropriate seals.
B. POWER PI&TON SEAL. Power piston seal damage
will be noticed by fluid leaking out at the common
master cylinder brake booster vent and possible
reduction in power assist. The booster must be

E.
F.
removed from the vehicle and disassembled. The
piston should be checked for any scratches that
may be the cause of the leak. If scratches are
present, then the booster seal kit can be used to
replace the appropriate seals.
HOUSING SEAL. If the housing seal is damaged,
fluid will leak out from between the two housings.
The booster must be removed from the vehicle and
disassembled. The booster seal kit should be used
to replace the housing and input rod and power
piston seals.
SPOOL VALVE PLUG SEAL. Damage to this seal
will be noticed by fluid leaking out past the plug.
The booster need not be removed from the vehicle.
ACCUMULATOR SEAL. Damage to this seal will
result in fluid leakage past the accum ulator cap. The
seal can be replaced w hile the booster is installed
on the vehicle.
RETURN PORT FITTING. Tighten the fitting to 10
N m (7 ft. lbs.). If the leak continues, replace the
seal ring under the fitting.
VACUUM BOOSTERS
DESCRIPTION
SINGLE DIAPHRAGM MODEL
This booster is a single diaphragm vacuum suspended
unit. It may have a single function vacuum switch to
activate the brake warning light in case of low booster
vacuum or vacuum pum p m alfunction. In a norm al
operating mode, with the service brakes in the released
position, a vacuum suspended booster operates with
vacuum on both sides of its diaphragm. When the brakes
are applied, air at atmospheric pressure is admitted to
one side of the diaphragm to provide the power assist.
TANDEM DIAPHRAGM MODEL
This booster is a tandem vacuum suspended unit. It
may have a single dual function vacuum switch to activate
the brake warning light in case of low booster vacuum or
vacuum pump malfunction. In a normal operating mode,
with the service brakes in the released position, a tandem
vacuum suspended booster operates with vacuum on
both sides of its diaphragm s. W hen the brakes are
applied, air at atmospheric pressure is admitted to one
side of each diaphragm to provide the power assist.

BLEEDING THE
HYDRO-BOOST SYSTEM
Whenever the booster is removed and reinstalled, the
steering system should be bled.
NOTICE: The pow er steering fluid and brake
fluid cannot be mixed. If the brake seals contact
steering fluid or the steering seals contact
brake fluid, seal damage will result.
1. Fill the power steering pump reservoir to the proper
level and let the fluid remain undisturbed for at least
two minutes.
2. Start the engine and run momentarily.
• Add fluid, if necessary.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the fluid level remains
constant after running the engine.
4. Raise the front of the vehicle so the wheels are off the
ground.
• Support the vehicle with suitable safety stands.
5. Turn the wheels from stop to stop, lightly contacting the
stops.
• Add fluid, if necessary.
6. Lower the vehicle.
7. Start the engine and depress the brake pedal several
times while rotating the steering wheel from stop to
stop.
8. Turn the engine off and then pump the brake pedal 4-5
times.
9. Check fluid level, add fluid if necessary.
10. If the fluid is extremely foamy, allow the vehicle to
stand a few minutes with the engine off. Then repeat
steps 7, 8 and 9.
11. Check for the presence of air in the oil. Air in the oil will
have a milky appearance. Air in the system will also
cause the fluid level in the pump to rise when the
e n g in e
is
tu rn e d
o ff.
If
it
beco m e s
obvious that the pump will not bleed the air after a few
attempts, refer to POWER STEERING (Sec. 3B3) for
further diagnosis.

DISC BRAKES
DESCRIPTION
The disc brake assembly consists of a caliper and
piston assembly, rotor, linings, and an anchor plate. The
caliper is mounted to the anchor plate, which allows the
caliper to move laterally against the rotor. The caliper is a
one-piece casting with the inboard side containing the
piston bore. A square cut rubber seal is located in a
groove in the piston bore which provides the hydraulic
seal between the piston and the cylinder wall.
OPERATION
As the brake pedal is depressed, hydraulic pressure is
applied against the piston. This pressure pushes the
inboard brake lining against the inboard braking surface
of the rotor. As the force increases against the rotor, the
c a lip e r a sse m b ly m oves in b o a rd th u s p ro v id in g a
clam ping action on the rotor.
When the brake pressure is released, the piston seal
returns to its normal position, pulling the piston back into
the caliper bore. This will create a running clearance
between the inner brake lining and the rotor.
BRAKE LINING INSPECTION
Check the outer pad by looking at each end of the
caliper (figure 1). Check the lining thickness on the inner
pad by looking down through the inspection hole in the
top of the caliper housing. Whenever the lining is worn to
about the thickness of the pad, the lining should be
removed for further measurements. The pad should be
replaced anytime the lining is worn to within 0.80 mm
(1/32-inch) of a rivet head or the pad itself.

Also check the flatness of the brake pads. Place the
inboard and outboard lining surfaces together and check
for a gap between the lining surfaces. This gap should not
exceed 0.13 mm (.005-inch) at the middle of the lining
surfaces. This applies to new or used brake pads.

Do not move the vehicle until a firm pedal is

SERVICING THE ROTOR
In the m a n u fa c tu rin g of the brake rotor all the
tolerances regarding surface finish, parallilism, and lateral
runout are held very closely. The maintenance of these
tolerances provide the surface necessary to prevent brake
roughness.
Light scoring of the rotor surface not in excess of
0.38 mm (0.15-inch) in depth is norm al. This condition
does not affect the brake operation.
LATERAL RUNOUT
Lateral runout is the movement of the rotor from side to
side as it rotates on the spindle. This could also be
refered to as “ rotor wobble” .
This movement causes the brake pad and piston to be
knocked back into it’s bore. This results in additional
pedal travel and a vibration during braking.
Checking Lateral Runout (Figure 15)
1. Tighten the wheel bearings to eliminate all freeplay.
2. Attach a dial ind icato r to some portion of the
suspension.
• The point of the styles must contact the rotor
face about 25 mm (1-inch) from the rotor edge.
3. Move the rotor one complete rotation.
• The lateral runout should not exceed 0.10 mm
(0.004-inch).
4. A d ju s t th e w he el b e a rin g s , re fe r to FR O N T
SUSPENSION (Sec. 3C).
PARALLELISM
Parallelism is the measurem ent of the thickness of the
rotor at four or more points around the circum ference of
the rotor. All measurements must be made at the same
distance in from the edge of the rotor. The rotor thickness
must not vary more than 0.013 mm (0.0005-inch) from
point to point.
MACHINING
Since a ccurate co n tro l of the rotor to leran ces is
necessary for proper perform ance of the disc brakes,
machining of the rotor should be done only with precision
equipment.
All brake rotors have a minimum thickness dimension
cast into them. This dim m ension is the minimum wear
dimension and not a refinish dimension. Do not use a
brake rotor that will not meet the specifications, after
refinishing. Replace with a new brake rotor. Refer to
“ S p e c ific a tio n s ” in th is se ctio n fo r fin a l m ach in g
tolerances.

DESCRIPTION
The drum brake assembly is a duo - servo design. With
this particular design, the force which is applied by the
wheel cylinder to the prim ary shoe is multiplied by the
prim ary lining friction to provide a large applied force to
the secondary shoe. The torque from the brake shoes is
transferred to the anchor pin and through the backing
plate, to the axle flange. Brake adjustments are automatic
and are made during reverse brake applications.

SERVICING THE
BRAKE DRUM
Whenever the brake drum s are removed, they should
be thoroughly cleaned and inspected for cracks, scores,
deep grooves and out-of-round.
CRACKED, SCORED, OR GROOVED DRUM
A cracked drum is unsafe for further service and must
be replaced. Do not attempt to weld a cracked drum.
Sm ooth up any slig h t scores. Heavy or extensive
scoring will cause excessive brake lining wear, and it will
probably be necessary to machine the drum braking
surface.
If the brake linings are slightly worn and the drum is
grooved, the drum should be polished with fine emery
cloth but sh o u ld not be m ach in e d. A t th is stage,
elim inating all the grooves in the drum and smoothing the
ridges on the lining would require the removal of too much
metal and lining, while if left alone, the grooves and ridges
match and sataisfactory service can be obtained.
If brake linings are to be replaced, a grooved drum
should be machined. A grooved drum, if used with a new
lining, will not only wear the lining, but will make it
d iffic u lt, if not im p ossib le to o bta in e ffic ie n t brake
performance.
OUT-OF-ROUND OR TAPERED DRUM
An out-of-round drum makes accurate brake shoe
adjustment impossible and is likely to cause excessive
wear of other parts of the brake m echanism due to its
eccentric action. An out-of-round drum can also cause
severe and irregular tire tread wear as well as a pulsing
brake pedal. When the braking surface of a brake drum
e x c e e d s th e s p e c ific a tio n lim its in ta p e r a n d /o r
out-of-round, the drum should be machined to true up the
braking surface. Out-of-round as well as taper and wear
can be accurately measured with an inside micrometer
fitted with proper extension rods.
When measuring a drum for out-of-round, taper and
wear, take measurments at the open and closed edges of
machined surface and at right angles to each other.
MACHINING THE DRUM
If a drum is to be machined, only enough metal should
be removed to obtain a true, smooth braking surface. If a
drum does not clean-up when m achined to a maximum
diameter, it must be replaced. Refer to “ Specifications” in
this section. Removal of more metal will affect dissipation
of heat and may cause distortion of the drum.
All brake drum s have a maximum diameter cast into
them. This diameter is the maximum wear diameter. Do
not m achine a brake drum th a t w ill not m eet the
specification. Refer to “ Specifications” in this section.
BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
A manual adjustment of the rear brakes is requireed
after the rear linings have been replaced. The front disc
brakes require no adjustment.
CAUTION: Refer to “ Caution” on page 5A2-1 of
this section.
1. Remove the lanced area in the brake backing plate.
• The metal lanced area must be removed from
the brake assembly.
jP

All new General Motors vehicles are certified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as con
forming to the requirements of the regulations for the control of air pollution from new motor vehicles. This
certification is contingent on certain adjustments being set to factory standards. In most cases, these adjustment
points either have been permanently sealed and/or made inaccessible to prevent indiscriminate or routine adjust
ment in the field. For this reason, the factory procedure for temporarily removing plugs, caps, etc., for purposes
of servicing the product must be strictly followed and, wherever practicable, returned to the original intent of the
design. For vehicles sold in Canada and equipped with non-closed loop engines, also refer to the appropriate
Canadian service manual supplement.
GENERAL INFORMATION
STATEMENT ON
CLEANLINESS AND CARE
• An engine is a combination of many machined, honed,
polished and lapped surfaces with very fine tolerances.
• Whenever valve train components, cylinder head,
cylinder, crankshaft, or connecting rod components are
removed for service, they should be retained in order.
At the time of installation, they should be installed in
the same locations and with the same mating surfaces
as when removed.
• Any time air cleaner, carburetor, or TBI unit is removed,
the intake opening must be covered. If a diesel engine
is being serviced, the recommended cover (J-29664-2
or J-26996-1) should be used. This will protect against
the entrance of foreign material which could follow the
intake passage into the cylinder and cause extensive
damage when the engine is started.
• When any internal engine parts are serviced, care and
cleanliness are important. A liberal coating of engine
oil should be applied to friction areas during assembly
to protect and lubricate the surfaces on initia l
operation. Throughout this section, it should be
understood that proper cleaning and protection of
machined surfaces and friction areas is part of the
repair procedure. This is considered standard shop
practice even if not specifically stated.
• On diesel engines, whenever the fuel injection pump or
lines are removed or disconncted, care must be taken
to prevent the entry of dirt into the pump, lines, and
injectors. The entry of even small amount of dirt or
other foreign material into the fuel injection system
may cause serious damage.
• It should be kept in mind, while working on the engine,
that the 12-volt electrical system is capable of violent
and damaging short circuits. When performing any
work where electrical terminals could possibly be
grounded, the ground cable of the battery should be
disconnected at the battery.
• Battery cables should be disconnected before any
major work is performed on the engine. Failure to
disconnect cables may result in damage to wire
harness or other electrical parts.
• Cover or o th e rw is e p ro te ct exposed e le c tric a l
connections to prevent damage from oil and fuel.
• When raising or supporting the engine for any reason,
do not use a jack under the oil pan. Due to the small
clearance between the oil pan and the oil pump
screen, jacking against the oil pan may cause it to be
bent against the pump screen resulting in a damaged
oil pickup unit.
6A-2 ENGINE
TUNE-UP INFORMATION
All information required to tune up the vehicle’s engine
is given in the Engine Emission Control Label. This label
is located in the engine compartment.
Information that can be found on the label includes:
• Spark plug type and gap.
• Ignition timing.
• Valve lash (if applicable).
• Idle, fast idle, and solenoid screw speeds, as
applicable.
• The proper sequence for making the adjustments.
• Emission hose routing diagram (sometimes on a
separate label).
USE OF RTV SEALER
AND ANAEROBIC
GASKET ELIMINATOR
Two types of sealer are commonly used in engines
covered by this m anual. These are RTV sealer and
anaerobic “ gasket elim inator” sealer.
It is important that these sealers be applied properly
and in the proper place to prevent oil leaks. THE TWO
TYPES OF SEALER ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.
Use the sealer recommended in the procedure.
• RTV (room temperature vulcanizing) sealer is used
where a non-rigid part is assembled to a rigid part.
Common examples are oil pans and rocker arm covers.
• Anaerobic gasket eliminator hardens in the absence of
air. This sealer is used where two rigid parts (such as
castings) are assembled together. When two rigid parts
are disassembled and no sealer or gasket is readily
noticeable, the parts were probably assembled using
gasket eliminator.
USING RTV SEALER
1. Don’t use RTV when extreme temperatures are
expected, such as exhaust manifold, head gasket or
where gasket eliminator is specified.
2. When separating components sealed with RTV, use a
rubber mallet and “ bump” the part sideways to shear
the RTV sealer. “ Bumping” should be done at bends
or reinforced areas to prevent distortion of parts. RTV
is weaker in shear (lateral) strength than in tensile
(vertical) strength.
Attempting to pry or pull components apart may
result in damage to the part.
3. Surfaces to be resealed must be clean and dry.
Remove all traces of oil and RTV. Clean with a
chlorinated solvent such as carburetor spray cleaner.
Don’t use petroleum cleaners such as mineral spirits;
they leave a film onto which RTV won’t stick.
4. Apply RTV to one of the clean surfaces. Use a bead
size as specified in the procedure. Run the bead to the
inside of any bolt holes. Do not allow the sealer in any
blind threaded holes, as it may prevent the bolt from
seating properly or cause damage when the bolt is
tightened.
5. Assemble while RTV is still wet (within 3 minutes).
Don’t wait for RTV to skin over.
6. Torque bolts to specifications. Don’t over-torque.
USING ANAEROBIC GASKET ELIMINATOR
1. Clean surfaces to be resealed with a chlorinated
solvent to remove all oil, grease and old material.
2. Apply a continuous bead of gasket eliminator to one
flange.
3. Spread bead evenly with your finger to get a uniform
coating on the complete flange.
4. Assemble parts in the normal manner and torque to
specifications.
REPLACING ENGINE GASKETS
CAUTION: Composite type gaskets are used in
some areas of the engine assembly. These
gaskets have a thin metal core. Use caution
when removing or handling composite gaskets
to help avoid personal injury.
GASOLINE ENGINE MECHANICAL DIAGNOSIS

COMPRESSION CHECK
1. Disconnect the primary lead from the distributor or
ignition coil. Refer to ENGINE ELECTRICAL (SEC.
6D).
2. Remove all spark plugs.
3. Block the throttle plate and choke plate (if used) wide
open.
4.
M a k e s u r e t h e b a t t e r y is f u ll y c h a r g e d .
5. Starting with the compression gage at zero, crank the
engine through four com pression strokes (four
“ puffs” ).
6. Make the compression check at each cylinder and
record each reading.
7. If some cylinders have low compression, inject about
15 ml. (one tablespoon or about 3 squirts from a pump
type oil can) of engine oil into the combustion chamber
through the spark plug hole.
8. Minimum compression recorded in any one cylinder
should not be less than 70 per cent of highest cylinder,
and no cylinder should read less than 690 kPa (100
psi). For example, if the highest pressure in any one
cylinder is 1035 kPa (150 psi), the lowest allowable
pressure for any other cylinder would be 725 kPa (105
psi). (1035 x 70% = 725) (150 x 70% = 105).
• Normal — Compression builds up quickly and
evenly to s p e cifie d com pression on each
cylinder.
• Piston Rings Leaking — compression low on first
stroke tends to build up on following strokes but
does not reach normal. Improves considerably
with addition of oil.
• Valves Leaking — Low on first stroke. Does not
tend to build up on following strokes. Does not
improve much with addition of oil.
• If two adjacent cylinders have lower than normal
compression, and injecting oil into cylinders
does not increase the compression, the cause
may be a head gasket leak between the
cylinders.

POSSIBLE CAUSE
This condition is normal. Oil drains from
the lifters which are holding the valves
open when the engine is not running. It
will take a few seconds for the lifter to fill
after the engine is started.
1. Dirt in hydraulic lifter.
2. Pitted or damaged check ball.
High leak down rate.
CORRECTION
None needed.
1. Disassemble and clean.
2 . Replace the hydraulic lifter.
Replace the hydraulic lifter.
1 . High oil level — Oil level above the
1 . Drain oil to proper level.
“ Full” mark allows crankshaft counter
weights to churn the oil into foam. When
foam is pumped into the lifters, they will
become noisy since a solid column of oil
is required for proper operation.
2. Low oil level — Oil level below the “ A dd”
mark allows the oil pump to pump air at
high speeds which results in noisy lifters.
3. Oil pan bent against oil pump pickup
screen.
4. Oil pump screen bent or loose.
2. Add oil as needed.
1. This noise is not connected with lifter
malfunction. It becomes most noticeable
in the vehicle at 10 to 15 mph “ L” (Low)
range, or 30 to 35 mph “ D” (Drive) range
and is best described as a “ hashy”
sound. At slow idle, it may be entirely
gone or appear as a light ticking noise in
one or more valves. It is caused by one
or more of the following:
• Badly worn or scuffed valve tip and
rocker arm pad.
• Excessive valve stem to guide clear
ance.
• Excessive valve seat runout.
• Off square valve spring.
• Excessive valve face runout.
• Valve spring dam per clicking on rotator.
3. Repair.

2. Off square valve spring. Occasionally
this noise can be eliminated by rotating
the valve spring and valve. Crank engine
until noisy valve is off its seat. Rotate
spring. This will also rotate valve. Repeat
until valve becomes quiet. If correction is
obtained, check for an off square valve
spring.
2. If the valve spring is more than 1.6mm
( 1/ie-inch) off square, it should be re
placed.
Noisy Regardless Of

2. Excessive valve lash. Check for valve
lash by turning the engine so the piston
in that cylinder is on TDC of the firing
sroke. If valve lash is p re s e n t, the
pushrod can be freely moved up and
down a certain amount with rocker arm
held against valve. Excessive lash can
be caused by:
a. Worn pushrod upper end ball.
b. Bent pushrod.
c. Im proper lubrication of the pushrod.

Remove the air cleaner. Install J-29664-2 or J-26996-1
over the mouth of the intake manifold.
Disconnect the wire from the fuel solenoid terminal of
the injection pump.
Disconnect wires from glow plugs then remove all glow
plugs.
Screw J-26999-10 into the glow plug hole of the
cylinder that is being checked. Connect to a suitable
compression gage (figure 1).
Make sure the batteries are fully charged, and the
engine is fully warmed up (engine oil hot).
Tool Required:
J-26999-10 Compression Gage
Cranking speed is critical for a diesel to start, either hot
or cold. Some tachometers are not accurate at cranking
speed. An alternate method of checking cranking speed
or determ ining the accuracy of a tachom eter follows:
1. Connect J-26999-10 to any cylinder.
2. Disconnect the injection pump fuel solenoid lead on
the top of the injection pump.
3. Install the digital tachometer to be checked (if desired).
4. D e p re ss th e p re s s u re re le a s e valve on the
compression gage.
5. With the aid of an assistant, crank the engine for 2 or 3
seconds to allow the starter to reach full speed, then
without stopping, count the number of “ puffs” at the
compression gage that occur in the next 10 seconds.
Multiply the number of “ puffs” in the 10 second period
by 12 and the resulting number will be the cranking
speed in revolutions per minute (RPM).
Example:
10 seconds = 1/6 of a minute
1
puff = 2 RPM
RPM = No. of puffs x 2 x 6 or
RPM = No. of puffs x 12
Minimum cranking speed on the 6.2L diesel engine is
100 RPM cold and 180 RPM hot. The actual cranking
speed needed will vary depending on the condition of the
engine (compression) and nozzles.

DESCRIPTION
4.3L engines are 90-degree V 6 type, overhead valve,
water cooled, with cast iron block and heads.
The crankshaft is supported by four precision insert
main bearings, with crankshaft thrust taken at the number
four (rear) bearing.
The camshaft is supported by four plain type bearings
and is chain driven. Motion from the camshaft is transm it
ted to the valves by hydraulic lifters, pushrods, and ball
type rocker arms. The valve guides are integral in the cyl
inder head.
The connecting rods are forged steel, with precision in
sert type crankpin bearings. The piston pins are a press fit
in the connecting rods.
The pistons are cast aluminum alloy. The piston pins
are a floating fit in the piston.
ENGINE LUBRICATION
Lubrication schem atics are shown in figures 1 and 2.
The gear type oil pump is driven from the distributor shaft,
which is gear driven from the camshaft. Oil is drawn into
the oil pump through a pickup screen and pipe.
Pressurized oil is routed to the oil filter. In case of
excessive oil pressure, a bypass valve is provided.
Filtered oil flows into the main gallery and then to the
camshaft and crankshaft bearings. The valve lifter oil
gallery supplies oil to the valve lifters. Oil flows from the
hydraulic lifters through the hollow pushrods to the rocker
arms. Oil from the overhead drains back to the crankcase
through oil drain holes.
The tim ing chain is drip fed from the front camshaft
bearing. The pistons and piston pins are lubricated by oil
splash.

VALVE ADJUSTMENT
Remove the rocker arm cover as outlined previously.
Crank the engine until the mark on the torsional
damper lines up with the “ O” mark on the timing tab
and the engine in the number one firing position. This
may be determined by placing fingers on the number
one valve as the mark on the damper comes near the
“ O” mark on the timing tab. If the rocker arms are not
moving, the engine is in the number one firing position.
If the rocker arms move as the mark comes up to the
timing tab, the engine is in the number four firing
position and should be turned over one more time to
reach the number one position.
With the engine in the number one firing position as
determ ined above, the follow ing valves may be
adjusted:
— Exhaust: 1, 5, 6 .
— Intake: 1, 2, 3.
(Even numbered cylinders are in the right bank; odd
numbered cylinders are in the left bank, when viewed
from the rear of the engine).
4. Back out the adjusting nut until lash is felt at the
pushrod then turn in the adjusting nut until all lash is
removed. This can be determined by rotating the
pushrod while turning the adjusting nut (figure 4).
When the play has been removed, turn the adjusting
nut in one full additional turn (to center the lifter
plunger).
Crank the engine one revolution until the timing tab
“ O ” mark and vibration damper mark are again in
alignment. This is the number four firing position. The
following valves may be adjusted:

LOBE LIFT
Tool Required:
J-8520 Camshaft Lobe Lift Indicator.
1. Remove the rocker arm as outlined previously.
2. Refer to figure 24. Position the dial indicator (part of
J-8520) so the plunger rests on the pushrod end, as
shown. Make sure the pushrod is in the lifter socket.
3. Rotate the crankshaft slowly in the direction of rotation
until the lifter is on the heel of the cam lobe. At this
point, the pushrod will be in its lowest position.
4. Set dial indicator on zero, then rotate the crankshaft
slowly, or attach an auxiliary starter switch and
“ bump” the engine over, until the pushrod is in fully
raised position.
Im portant
• Whenever the engine is cranked remotely at the
starter, with a special jumper cable or other
means, the distributor primary lead should be
disconnected from the ignition coil.
5. Compare the total lift recorded from the dial indicator
with specifications.
6 . If c a m s h a ft re a d in g s for all lob es are w ith in

6A4-2 SMALL BLOCK
DESCRIPTION
Small block engines covered by this manual are availa
ble in two displacements; 5.0L (305 cu. in.) and 5.7L (350
cu. in.).
Small block engines are 90-degree V8 type, overhead
valve, water cooled, with cast iron block and heads.
The crankshaft is supported by five precision insert
main bearings, with crankshaft thrust taken at the number
five (rear) bearing.
The camshaft is supported by five plain type bearings
and is chain driven. Motion from the camshaft is transm it
ted to the valves by hydraulic lifters, pushrods, and ball
type rocker arms. The valve guides are integral in the cyl
inder head.
The connecting rods are forged steel, with precision in
sert type crankpin bearings. The piston pins are a press fit
in the connecting rods.
The pistons are cast alum inum alloy. The piston pins
are a floating fit in the piston.
ENGINE LUBRICATION
Lubrication schem atics are shown in figures 1 and 2.
The gear type oil pump is driven from the distributor shaft,
which is gear driven from the camshaft. Oil is drawn into
the oil pump through a pickup screen and pipe.
Pressurized oil is routed to the oil filter. In case of
excessive oil pressure, a bypass valve is provided.
Filtered oil flows into the main gallery and then to the
camshaft and crankshaft bearings. The valve lifter oil
gallery supplies oil to the valve lifters. Oil flows from the
hydraulic lifters through the hollow pushrods to the rocker
arms. Oil from the overhead drains back to the crankcase
through oil drain holes.
The tim ing chain is drip fed from the front camshaft
bearing. The pistons and piston pins are lubricated by oil
splash.

one valve as the mark on the damper comes near the
“ O ” mark on the timing tab. If the rocker arms are not
moving, the engine is in the number one firing position.
If the rocker arms move as the mark comes up to the
timing tab, the engine is in the number six firing
position and should be turned over one more time to
reach the number one position.
With the engine in the number one firing position as
determ ined above, the follow ing valves may be
adjusted:
— Exhaust: 1, 3, 4, 8
— Intake: 1, 2, 5, 7
(Even numbered cylinders are in the right bank; odd
numbered cylinders are in the left bank, when viewed
from the rear of the engine).
Back out the adjusting nut until lash is felt at the
pushrod then turn in the adjusting nut until all lash is
removed. This can be determined by rotating the
pushrod while turning the adjusting nut (figure 4).
When the play has been removed, turn the adjusting
nut in one full additional turn (to center the lifter
plunger).
Crank the engine one revolution until the timing tab
“ O” mark and vibration damper mark are again in
alignment. This is the number six firing position the
following valves may be adjusted:
— Exhaust: 2, 5, 6, 7
— Intake: 3, 4, 6, 8

connecting rod and bearing cap must be on the
same side when installed in the cylinder bore. If a
connecting rod is ever transposed from one block or
cylinder to another, new connecting rod bearings
should be fitted and the connecting rod should be
num bered to correspond w ith the new cylinder
number.
• The piston must be installed so that the notch in
the piston faces the front of the engine (figure
29).
• Place the piston in its matching bore. The
connecting rod bearing tang slots must be on the
side opposite the camshaft. Using light blows
with a hammer handle, tap the piston down into
its bore (figure 30). At the same time, from

Position the seal half between the crankshaft and
the tip of the tool. Make sure that the oil seal lip is
positioned toward the front of the engine.
Roll the seal around the crankshaft using the tool as
a “ shoe-horn” to protect the seal bead from the
sharp corner of the seal seat surface in the block.
The installation tool must remain in position until the
seal half is properly positioned with both ends flush
with the block.
Remove the tool, being careful not to withdraw the
seal half.
2 . Lower seal half.
• Coat the seal lips lightly with engine oil. Keep
the oil off of the seal mating ends.
• Insert the seal half into the rear main bearing
cap. Use the tool to protect the seal half from
the sharp edge of the seal seat. Feed the seal
half into the rear main bearing cap, using light
finger pressure. Make sure the oil seal lip
faces the front of the engine (figure 21).
Rear main bearing cap with the lower main bearing.
• Apply a brush-on type oil sealing compound to
the mating surface of the block and cap (figure

ENGINE MOUNTINGS
NOTICE: Broken or deteriorated mountings can
cause misaligned and eventual destruction of
certain drive train components. When a single

mountings are subjected to abnormally high
stresses.
INSPECTING ENGINE MOUNTINGS
Front Engine Mountings
NOTICE: When raising or supporting the engine
for any reason, do not use a jack under the oil
pan, any sheet metal or crankshaft pulley. Due
to the small clearance betw een the oil pan and
the oil pump screen, jacking against the oil pan
may cause it to be b ent against the pum p
screen, resulting in a dam aged oil pickup unit.
1. R aise the e n g in e to rem ove w e ig h t from the
m ountings and to place a slight tension on the
rubber cushion. Observe both m ountings while
raising the engine.
2. Replace the m ounting if the following conditions
exist:

Figure 1—Lubrication Diagram
6.2 L diesel engines are 90 degree V8 type, naturally
aspirated, with indirect type combustion chambers.
The crankshaft is supported by five precision insert
main bearings, with crankshaft thrust taken at the number
three (center) main bearing.
The camshaft is supported by five plain type bearings
and is chain driven. Motion from the camshaft is transm it
ted to the overhead valves by roller type hydraulic lifters,
pushrods, and spindle mounted rocker arms. The valve
guides are integral in the cylinder head.
The connecting rods are forged steel, with precision in
sert type crankpin bearings. The piston pins are retained
by snap rings.
ENGINE LUBRICATION
A lubrication schem atic is shown in figure 1.
The gear type oil pum p is driven from either the
vacuum pump shaft or from a drive gear, depending on
engine application. The vacuum pump or drive gear is
driven by the cam shaft. Oil is drawn into the pum p
through a pickup screen and pipe.
Pressurized oil is routed to the oil cooler, located in the
radiator. A bypass valve is provided should the oil cooler
become restricted. Oil flows from the cooler to a full flow
oil filter. An oil filter bypass valve is provided should the oil
filter become restricted.
O il flo w s

galleries, providing pressurized lubrication to various
components.
The hydraulic valve lifters receive oil from the oil
galleries. Oil flows from the hydraulic lifters through
hollow pushrods to the rocker arms. Oil from the overhead
drains back to the crankcase through oil drain holes.
The pistons, piston rings, cylinder walls, and connecting
rod small end bearing are lubricated by oil splash.

DESCRIPTION
The connecting rods are forged steel, with precision in
sert type crankpin bearings. The piston pins are a press fit
in the connecting rods.
The pistons are cast aluminum alloy. The piston pins
are a floating fit in the pistons.
ENGINE LUBRICATION
B-05053
Figure 1—Lubrication Diagram (Side View)
4.8L engines are inline six cylinder type, overhead
valve, water cooled, with cast iron block and head.
The crankshaft is supported by seven precision insert
main bearings, with crankshaft thrust taken at the number
seven (rear) bearing.
The camshaft is supported by four plain type bearings
and is gear driven. Motion from the camshaft is transm it
ted to the valves by hydraulic lifters, pushrods, and balltype rocker arms. The valve guides are integral in the
cylinder head.
Lubrication schematics are shown in figures 1 and 2.
The gear type oil pump is driven through an extension
shaft from the distributor drive shaft, which is gear driven
from the camshaft. Oil is drawn into the oil pump through
a pickup screen and pipe.
Pressurized oil is routed to the oil filter. In case of
excessive backpressure at the oil filter, a bypass valve is
provided. This valve will allow oil flow to the main oil
gallery at the right side of the block. This gallery supplies
oil to the camshaft bearings, hydraulic lifters, and main
bearings. The connecting rods are supplied oil from the
main bearings by means of drilled passages in the
crankshaft. The valve train is supplied with oil by the
hydraulic lifters. Oil is pumped from the lifters through the
hollow pushrods to the rocker arms. Oil drains back to the
crankcase through oil drain holes and the pushrod holes.
The piston, piston pin, and tim ing gears are lubricated by
oil splash.

DESCRIPTION
All R/V, G„ and P series vehicles have pressure type
engine cooling systems with therm ostatic control of the
coolant circulation. The cooling system is sealed by a
pressure type radiator cap that causes the system to oper
ate at higher than atmospheric pressure. This higher
pressure operation raises the boiling point of the coolant,
thereby increasing the cooling efficiency of the radiator.
The 105 kPa (15 psi) pressure cap raises the boiling point
of the coolant to approximately 125°C (258°F) at seal
level.
The pressure-vacuum valve radiator cap allows the
coolant to expand through the pressure valve in the cen
ter of the cap without building unnecessary pressure. This
expanding coolant flows into the coolant reservoir. The
vent valve closes due to expansion and coolant flow (the
nominal 105 kPa (15 psi) pressure will not be reached until
the system is working at maximum capacity). Any air or
vapor in the cooling system will be forced into and out of
the coolant reservoir through the vent tube at the top of
the reservoir. As the system cools, the extra coolant in the
reservoir will be drawn back to the radiator through the
vent valve. In this manner, the radiator will keep itself full
at all times.
6B1-2 ENGINE COOLING
DIAGNOSIS
SYSTEM CHECKS
EXHAUST LEAKS
To check for exhaust leaks into the cooling system,
drain the system until the coolant level stands just above
the top of the cylinder head(s), then disconnect the
radiator upper hose and remove the therm ostat and fan
belt(s). Start the engine and accelerate several times. At
the same time note any appreciable coolant rise or the
appearance of bubbles which may indicate that exhaust
gases are leaking into the cooling system.
NOTICE: A worn head gasket may allow exhaust
gases to leak into the cooling system. This can
d am age the c o o lin g system as the gases
combine with the water to form acids which are
harmful to the radiator and engine.
WATER PUMP
Check water pump operation by running the engine
while squeezing the radiator upper hose. When the
engine warms a pressure surge should be felt. Check for
a plugged venthole in the pump.
Diagnosis/Inspection
1. Isolate the area by probing the engine w ith a
sounding bar (large screwdriver).
2. With the radiator cap removed, observe the water
being circulated in the radiator. Feel the front area of
the radiator for cold spots which indicate blockage.
Blocked radiators generally occur on units that have
accrued miles and not on new vehicles.
CAUTION: The radiator cap should be removed
from a cool engine only. If the radiator cap is
removed from a hot cooling system, serious
personal injury may result.
3. Inspect the therm ostat to see if it opens.
4. Inspect the therm ostat housing to make sure it is
free of obstructions.
5. Remove the water pump from the vehicle and the
back cover on the pump. Inspect internal passages
using a flash light.
6. Inspect the cross over at the front of the inlet
manifold. This entire passage can be seen with the
therm ostat removed.
7. Remove the heads, and check the block.
RADIATOR
Test for restrictions in the radiator by warming the
engine and then turning the engine off and feeling the
radiator. The radiator should be hot along the left side and
warm along the right side, with an even temperature rise
from right to left. Cold spots in the radiator indicate
clogged sections.
THERMOSTAT
Check the therm ostat by hanging the therm ostat on a
hook in a 33% glycol solution, 25°C (4°F) above the
temperature stamped on the therm ostat valve. Submerge
the valve and agitate the solution. The valve should open.
Remove the therm ostat and place it in a 33% glycol
solution, -12°C (10°F) below the temperature indicated on
the valve. With the valve submerged and coolant agitated,
the valve should close.
8. With the water pump and heads removed, inspect
the coolant passages by using a pen light flash
light. Replace the block if a restriction can be seen.
9. If none of the above inspections reveal the problem
area, inspect the heads. Heads with blocked coolant
passages generally have more than one area that is
blocked. Inspect the heads for signs of overheat
discoloration (a dark blue or black area). If none are
found, look in the coolant passages for blockage
and probe all accessible passages.
Use a substantial probe as a tag wire to go through
or around a partially blocked area. If nothing is
found by visual inspection and probing, inspect the
passages for a rough, ragged appearance. The
roughest internal passages are probably the ones
that are blocked.
Replace a blocked or suspect head and inspect the
replacement head before installation.
OVERHEAT AND/OR NOISE
Restrictions in the cooling system can cause the engine
to overheat and/or create cooling system noise.
Components prone to this condition are the cylinder
head, water pump, block, therm ostat housing and inlet
manifold. Symptoms include:
FAN CLUTCH DIAGNOSIS
NOISE
Fan noise is sometimes evident under the following
normal conditions.
• Engine may make snapping/cracking noises.
• When the clutch is engaged for maximum cooling.
• Heater core may gurgle or surge.
• During the first few minutes after start-up until the
clutch can re-distribute the silicone fluid back to its
norm a l d is e n g a g e d o p e ra tin g c o n d itio n (a fte r
overnight settling).
• Radiator hoses may collapse and expand.
• Heater hoses may vibrate and thump.
• Overheat light may or may not come on.
Symptoms are the result of coolant boiling at some
localized area and may be noticed after extending idling
and/or while driving. Determine which side of the engine
is involved and whether it is more at the front or rear of
the engine.
Fan noise or an excessive roar will generally occur
continuously under high engine speed conditions (2500
rpm and up) if the clutch assem bly is locked up due to an
internal failure. If the fan cannot be rotated by hand or
there is a rough grating feel as the fan is turned, replace
the clutch.
ENGINE COOLING 6B1-3
‘ NOTE: THE TEMPERATURE STICK IS A PENCIL LIKE DEVICE WHICH HAS A WAX MATERIAL CONTAINING
CERTAIN CHEMICALS WHICH MELT AT A GIVEN TEMPERATURE. TEMPERATURE STICKS CAN BE USED TO
DETERMINE A THERMOSTAT’S OPERATING TEMPERATURE BY RUBBING 86.6°C (188°F) AND 96.6°C
(206°F) STICKS ON THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING. THE MARKS MADE BY THE STICKS SHOULD MELT WHEN
COOLANT TEMPERATURES OF 86.6°C (188°F) AND 96.6°C (206°F) ARE REACHED, RESPECTIVELY. THESE
TEMPERATURES ARE THE NORMAL OPERATING RANGE OF THE THERMOSTAT, THEREFORE, IF THE
COOLANT FLOWS AS INDICATED ON THE DIAGNOSIS CHART, THE THERMOSTAT MAY BE WORN

Figure 1—Thermostat Diagnosis Chart
LOOSENESS
Check a loose fan assembly for any wear and replace if
necessary. Under various temperature conditions a visible
lateral movement that can be observed at the tip of the
fan blade. This is a normal condition due to the type of
bearing used. Approxim ately 6.5 mm (1/4-inch) maximum
lateral movement measured at the fan tip is allowable.
This is not cause for replacement.
THERMOSTAT DIAGNOSIS
Refer to the therm ostat diagnostic chart for therm ostat
diagnosis procedures (figure 1).

DIAGNOSIS
INDICATOR LAMP WILL NOT ILLUMINATE
SILICONE FLUID LEAKS
The fan clutch operation is generally not affected by
small fluid leaks which may occur in the area around the
bearing assembly. If leakage appears excessive, replace
the fan clutch (see below).
ENGINE OVERHEATING
If the fan and clutch assembly free-wheel with no drag
(revolves more than five tim es when spun by hand),
replace the clutch.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the CRANK position.
• If the lamp illuminates, the lamp is OK and the

PULLEY INSPECTION
Examine the pulleys for chips, nicks, tool marks, cracks,
bent sidewalls, corrosion or other damage.
1. Place a straightedge or position a cord across the
two pulleys so they touch at all points (figure 17).
2. Turn each pulley one half revolution and recheck
with a straightedge or cord. Full contact at all points
must be made. If contact is not made at all points,
the pulley may be warped or its shaft could be bent.
Replace any damaged parts.
DRIVE BELT INSPECTION
Replace frayed or cracked belts and tension to the
proper specification. Do not use drive belt dressings to
extend the belt life.
ENGINE COOLING 6B1-11
Figure 13—7.4L Engine Thermostat Replacement
(R/V and P)
CAUTION: Avoid over or under-tightening drive
belts. Loose belts result in slippage which can
cause belt and pulley “ glazing” and inefficient
component operation. Once a belt has become
“ glazed,” replace the belt. Loose belts can
also place high im p a ct loads on d rive n
component bearings due to the whipping action
of a loose belt. Over tightening belts can lead
to bearing damage and early belt failure.
DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT - V-BELT
1. Remove the old belt.
• Loosen the com ponent driven by the belt
(figures 18 through 22).
NOTICE: Place the belts into the pulley grooves
by hand. Do not force a belt into a pulley groove
by prying with a screwdriver, crowbar, or other
wedge type tool. Prying a belt into position can
d am ag e b o th th e b e lt a n d th e b e lt d rive

3. Run the engine at idle speed for a minimum of 15
minutes.
• This allows the belt to seat itself in the pulleys,
causing the belt fibers to relax, or stretch.
4. Allow the drive belt to cool until it is cool or at most,
warm to the touch. Not hot.
NOTICE: A used belt is one that has been
rotated at least one com plete revolution on the
engine pulleys. This begins the “ seating” of
the belt and it must never be tensioned to new
belt specifications.
5. Check the belt tension.
• Use J-23600-B to measure V-belt tension.
• Place the gage at the center of the greatest

DESCRIPTION
The radiator in the R/V, G and P series vehicles is a
crossflow tube and center type. Refer to figures 1 through
4.
All radiators are fitted with a shroud designed to assist
the fan in directing air flow through the radiator core and
to also serve as a fan guard. Provision for coolant expan
sion is achieved with a coolant recovery tank. This retards
coolant overflow, and reduces frequent refills.
Pressure is maintained in the radiator and system by a
pressure cap. The pressure cap has two valves; one re
lieves excessive pressure and the other compensates for
coolant contraction when the engine is stopped. Radiator
caps are provided in 105 kPa (15 psi) rating on all models.

RADIATOR MAINTENANCE
Check the outside of the radiator for bent fins, or signs
of leakage. Repair leaking radiator cores. Do not seal tem
porarily with a sealer type antifreeze or coolant additive.
Remove any stones between the fins. Clean loose debris
and road film from the radiator core with a quality grease
solvent and compressed air. Direct the stream of solvent
at the front of the core for more efficient cleaning.
To insure a thorough cleaning, remove the grille, fan
guard, and fan shroud.
Remove the radiator cap and look for plugging and
scale on the inside of the tank. Replace a badly plugged
radiator. Test the radiator and system as described in EN
GINE COOLING (SEC. 6B1).
1. Check the coolant level. If low, add recommended
coolant as required.
2. Check the hose connections and tighten the clam ps
if leakage is evident. Replace cracked, stripped, or
corroded clamps.
3. Check the coolant hoses for spongy or checked ap
pearance. Replace deteriorated hoses or bursting
could occur which would result in coolant loss and
extensive engine damage due to overheating.
4. Check the radiator core for leaks and for accum ula
tion of dirt which may obstruct the air passages and
reduce heat transfer.
5. Check the surge tank or recovery tank for leaks.
Plastic bottles may develop cracks for being dam
aged by flying objects. Check metal tanks at the
weld seams.
6. Inspect the radiator rubber m ountings and bum pers
for deterioration and replace as necessary. Check
the mounting bolts, supports, braces, tie rods, and
stabilizer rods. Components should be securely fas
tened in place if m ounting bolts are m issing, loose,
or stripped. Also check for damage to the core, side
flanges, and supporting components.
6B2-6 RADIATOR
7. Check for clearance between the fan blades, core,
and shroud. Check the fan attaching bolts for tight
ness and that none are missing. Replace the fan if
any blade is bent. The distance between the blades
and shroud should be equal around the perimeter of
the shroud. Adjust as necessary after any adjust
ment has been made to the fan or the fan mounting
bracket and hub.
8. Inspect the filler cap seal for evidence of cracking,
separation, or deterioration. Replace as required.
9. To assist in m aintaining efficient heat dissipation, an
occasional external flushing with water will remove
the majority of dirt accum ulation and foreign matter
from between core fins. Direct water under moder
ate pressure from behind the core to force debris
out in the opposite direction of its entry. Direct the
water stream in line with the fins to reduce the pos
sibility of bending fins.
RADIATOR INTERNAL DEPOSITS
A radiator that has a dirty, obstructed core or is leaking
will cause the engine to overheat. A scale deposit inside
the radiator is a result of using hard, high mineral content
water in the cooling system. The effect of heat on the
minerals in the water causes the formation of scale, or
hard coating, on m etal surfaces w ithin the radiator,
thereby reducing the transfer of heat. Some hard water
will produce a silt-like deposit which restricts the flow of
water. This must be flushed out at least twice a year —
more often if necessary.
SCALE REMOVAL
To remove the hardened scale, a direct chem ical action
is necessary. A flushing compound at the specified rate of
30 grams per liter (4 oz. per gallon) of radiator capacity,
should be added to the coolant water in the form of a
dissolved solution while the engine is running. Operate
the engine for 15 minutes, then drain and flush the system
with clean water.
T he re are v a rio u s typ e s of flu s h in g c o m p o u n d s
comm ercially available and should be obtained from a
reliable source. Most com pounds attack m etals and
should not remain in the engine for more than a few
minutes. Use a neutralizer after a descaling solvent is
used.
For extremely hard, stubborn coatings, such as lime
scale, use a stronger solution. The corrosive action of a
stronger solution will affect the thin metals of the radiator,
thereby reducing its operating life. A complete flushing
and rinsing is mandatory and must be accom plished
skillfully.
After using the solvent and neutralizer and flusing the
cooling system, drain the system and fill it with clean, soft
water plus a rust inhibitor or high boiling point type
antifreeze. After filling the cooling system, check for
radiator, hose, and engine coolant leaks.

RADIATOR REPLACEMENT
The type of radiator core mounting varies according to
model and engine type. Radiator assembly includes a
shroud and may include an oil cooler in the core. Some
m odels have a se pa ra te pow er ste ering oil co oler
attached in front of the radiator core. On models so
equipped it may be necessary to remove the oil cooler to
facilitate removal of the radiator core. Refer to POWER

Figure 15—Testing The Radiator Cap
As liquid in the system cools it contracts; this allows the
pressure valve to close and also creates a partial vacuum
in the system. Atm ospheric pressure acting through the
overflow tube unseats the vacuum valve and allows air to
enter the system. The overflow pipe connects to the valve
outside the valve seal; thus no liquid or air can escape
from the system when both valves are in the closed
position.
4. F ille r N e c k S a fe ty D e te n t
T h e ra d ia to r f ille r c a p is c o n s tru c te d w ith a
spring-loaded rubber seal which is pressed firm ly against
the surface of the fille r neck seat when the cap is
installed. The rubber seal must be in good condition and
the top of the radiator filler neck must be clean and
smooth to form an airtight seal. The seal of the filler cap
and the operation of the pressure relief valve can be
checked using a conventional cooling system testing kit
(figure 15).
When the engine is at normal operating temperature or
above, the internal pressure buildup in the cooling system
will blow out scalding fluid and vapors if the radiator cap
is suddenly removed. To prevent loss of coolant and the
danger of being burned check or add coolant when the
engine is cool. If the cap must be removed when the
engine is hot, place a cloth over the cap and rotate the
cap slow ly counterclockw ise to first stop and allow
pressure to escape. The cap and filler neck meet at right
angles in a safety detent position. The cap locking tank is
flat and the filler neck has a straight tab (figure 16). To
turn the cap beyond this point and remove the cap, the
cap must be pressed down to clear the safety detent and
turned counterclockwise.

figures 1, 2, 3 and 4.
The pressure cap is sim ilar to the radiator filler cap but
has a gasket (figure 17). This gasket forms a seal at the

SURGE TANK
The tank serves as a coolant reservoir for the radiator
core. Hoses and pipes connect the tank to the radiator
and water pump. The surge tank incorporates the cooling
system filler cap.
At regular intervals check the tank and connecting
hoses for leaks. Keep the hose clam ps and mounting
bolts tightened.
Check the mounting brackets and supports for cracks
and broken attaching parts. Check insulators and straps;
if deteriorated or loose from wear, replace.
ALUMINUM Rfi
DESCRIPTION
This radiator utilizes an aluminum core with plastic side
ta n ks. T h e co re and sid e ta n k s can be re p la c e d
separately and core repair is easily made with the hot
melt adhesive method. A transm ission oil cooler is located
in one of the side tanks. The oil coolers can be replaced.
The drain cock is located on the lower part of one of the
tanks. The drain cock is also serviceable.
IATOR REPAIR
TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER
Replace the oil cooler by removing the tank from the
core.
A leaking oil cooler gasket can be replaced w ithout
removing the tank from the core.
DRAIN COCK
The alum inum /plastic radiator utilizes a two piece
plastic drain cock and a rubber seal. The drain cock is
serviceable (figure 20).
CORE
The core is made of aluminum and is of the crossflow
design. It utilizes large tubes that resist plugging, and
repairs to the tubes and core are easily made using the
hot melt adhesive method.
The core is attached to the tanks by clinched tabs on
the core that can be bent back if tank or core replacement
is required.
If the damage to a tube is too severe, a tube can be
blocked or plugged as explained in “ Tube Blocking.” No
more than two tubes should ever be blocked on a core.
Also replace the core if more than three tabs are broken
on one side or if two adjacent tabs are broken.
TANKS
The tanks are attached to the core by clinched tabs
attached to the sides of the core. The clinched tabs can
be bent back if the tanks need to be removed from the
core. Bend the tabs back only enough to remove the tank.
Overbending will weaken the tabs.
A high temperature rubber gasket is used to seal the
mating surface between the core and the tank (figure 19).
The gasket must be replaced any tim e a tank is removed
from the core.
DIAGNOSIS
LEAK TESTING
Some core leaks can be detected by adding water to
the radiator. Clean the core so that the damaged area can
be found.
1. Remove d irt and insects from the fin s w ith a
common water hose w ithout a nozzle. Excessive
water pressure could damage the fins.
2. Scrub the core with a soft-bristle brush using clean,
hot water or hot water with a mild detergent solution.
On-Vehicle Pressure Testing
You can pressure-test the alum inum -plastic radiator
with J-24460-01 with J-23699 (figure 21). W ith the system
at a cool temperature, remove the radiator cap, connect
the gage, and apply normal system operating pressure.
Do not exceed 138 kPa (20 psi). Watch the gage needle
for an indication of a leak, and examine the radiator and
other cooling system parts for escaping coolant.
Repair all hose and hose connections as required.
Check the radiator cap to ensure that it will maintain the
correct pressure.
If the radiator leaks during the pressure test, mark the
leak area.

Figure 19—Aluminum Radiator Assembly
Off-Vehicle Leak Testing
NOTICE: Do not use boil-out tanks or vats or
other tanks that have been used for copper and
brass radiators. The flux, acid, and caustic
cleaners remaining in these tanks will attack the
aluminum and cause radiator failure. A separate
te s t ta n k c o n ta in in g c le a n

recom m ended for servicing alum inum/plastic
radiators.
1. Install test fittings or rubber test caps in the inlet and
outlet necks and seal the oil cooler fittings with
metal plugs to protect the cooler and keep the fluid
from running out (figure 22).
Figure 21—Pressure Testing the Radiator
RADIATOR 6B2-17
2. Attach the pressure tester and gradually apply air
pressure until 138 kPa (20 psi) is attained. Do not
exceed 138 kPa (20 psi). Check the pressure gage
to see if there is a pressure loss. To ensure that
there are no small leaks, run water over the repair
area and look for bubbles. (A mild detergent is
helpful).
If a large water tank is available, submerge the
radiator and a check for air bubbles.
REPAIRABLE LEAKS
There are two types of leaks that can be repaired on the
alum inum -plastic radiator: core leaks and gasket leaks.
Leaks in the plastic tanks cannot be repaired (figure 23).
Core leaks can occur in a tube or in the joints between
the tubes and headers. Gasket leaks can occur in the
113A
121
113B
joints between the plastic tanks and the headers or in the
joints between the oil cooler fittings and the tank. Some
leaks can be repaired while the radiator is on the vehicle;
however, it is usually best to remove the radiator.
Repair Methods
There are several methods that can be used to repair
the radiator core, but the hot melt adhesive method is the
most effective.
The kit contains adhesive sticks, cotton swabs, a wire
brush and the primer. The adhesive stick is reusable, has
an indefinite shelf life and is waste-free. Store the in a
sealed container to keep them dry (figure 24).

the engine and radiator are still hot. Scalding
flu id and steam can be blown out under
pressure if the cap is taken off too soon.
NOTICE: DO NOT USE “ BOIL O U T ’ TANKS OR
VATS. Common service methods may destroy
an aluminum radiator. Do not use caustic or lye
cleaning solutions for aluminum radiators. USE
CLEAN WATER WHEN SERVICING ALUMINUM

• Do not use boil-out tanks or vats or other tanks that
have been used for copper and brass radiators. The
flux, acid, and caustic cleaners remaining in these
tanks will attack the aluminum and cause radiator
failure. A separate test tank containing clean water
is recom m ended for servicing alum inum /plastic
radiators.
NOTICE: Never use shop air to pressure test
radiators that is not regulated at 138 kPa (20
psi). Pressures o ver 138 kPa (20 psi) w ill
damage the radiator.
Figure 26—Tube Blocking
HEADER REPAIR
If the header or a tube near the header requires a
repair, the side tank does not have to be removed. Place a
damp cloth against the side tank where the repair has to
be made (figure 27). The side tank can be submerged in a
tank of water up to the header (figure 28).
SPECIAL PREPARATION
For damaged areas that are between the cooling fins, it
may be necessary to remove some of the fins. Do not
remove more fins than necessary. Usually 6 mm (1/4-inch)
beyond the leak or dam age area is enough to make an
effective repair (figure 25).
TUBE BLOCKING
If a tube is severely damaged, it can be blocked off
(figure 26).
NOTICE: Do not block off more than two tubes
in a radiator. Blocking off more than two tubes
will reduce the cooling capability of the system.
Cut the tube off 6 mm (1/4-inch) from the header and
pinch shut before it is cleaned and sealed. Refer to
“ General Core Sealing.”

Figure 28—Submerging the Side Tank
NOTICE: One of these procedures have to be
used when repairs are made on or near the
header to prevent damage to the tank or gasket.
CAUTION: The primer contains trichlorethane.
• It could be harmful or fatal if swallowed. If
swallowed, get medical attention.
• Use with adequate ventilation.
• In case of eye contact, flush with water and
get medical attention.
• In case of body contact, wash with soap
and water.
• Do not mix the primer with water.
GENERAL CORE REPAIR
Preparation of the surface in the repair area cannot be
overemphasized. If the leak area surface is not clean,
none of the repair materials will stick to the surface.
6. Scrub the repair area with a cotton swab until a
fresh swab stays clean. The clear, yellow-brown
coating does not have to be removed (figure 30).
1. Position the core so the repair area is accessible.
7. Heat the repair area with a heat gun or by moving
the torch in a circular pattern (figure 31). Use a soft,
small blue flame (like a gas stove flame).
2. Apply a wet cloth if you are working near the plastic
tanks or the joints between the core tubes and
header (figure 27); or submerge the tank in water
(figure 28).
3. Heat the repair area slightly with a small torch or
heat gun to be sure it is dry. Do not use a blow
torch.
4. Brush the area to be repaired with the small steel
brush that is supplied in the kit and blow dust away
from the repair area (figure 29).
5. Open the tube of primer, using the spurred cap or a
pin, and apply prim er to the repair area only. Use of
the prim er produces a stronger repair. Do not heat
the primer.
Figure 29—Cleaning the Repair Area with A
Steel Brush
8. W ithdraw the torch and rub the adhesive stick on
the repair area (figure 32). The adhesive will flow at
a temperature of approximately 260°C (500°F). If
the stick doesn’t start to melt, remove it and reapply
the heat. Do not heat the stick directly with a
flame. High heat will burn and char the adhesive.
9. Continue heating until the adhesive flows and wets
the entire repair area and fills the joint. If a hole is in
the center of a tube, heat the tube and let the hot
surface melt and pull in the adhesive. The force of
the flame or heat gun will also tend to guide the
adhesive toward the hole. For leaks between a tube
and header, flow the adhesive around the tube and
header joint with the tank installed.

Curing is not required.
11. Test the radiator when cool. If the repair area still
leaks, reheat it gently to dry it. Heat and reflow the
adhesive or apply more as necessary to repair the
leak.
TANK GASKET LEAK REPAIR
Tank gasket leaks can be mistaken for tank or header
leaks. If a plactic tank leaks from the header joint gasket,
tighten the clinch tabs with locking-type pliers (figure 33).
If this method doesn’t seal the leak, remove the tank for
further inspection.
1. Pry open the clinch tabs, except those under the
inlet, outlet, and filler necks, using J-33419-1 or a
screwdriver (figure 34). Lift the tabs only enough to
allow removal.
N O T IC E : Do n o t o v e rb e n d th e tab s .
Overbending could result in breakage. If there
are more than 3 tabs broken on one side of the
header, or more than 2 adjacent tabs together,
replace the core.
2. L ift the ta nk and slide it out from under the
remaining clinched tab. You may have to tap the
tank with your hand to dislodge the gasket. Lift the
remaining tab(s) with pliers.
3. Remove and discard the gasket.
4. Clean the header and gasket groove of all dirt and
old rubber.
5. Clean the sealing edge of the plastic tank.
6. Examine the header gasket surface and tank flange
for leakage, and clean or repair the surface to
remove dirt, burrs, and bumps.
7. Remove the oil cooler, if equipped, and install it in
the new tank, if used.
8. Dip or coat the new tank gasket in engine coolant
and position it on the header surface. The coolant
helps hold the gasket in place.
9. Position the tank and gasket to the header, clam p it
in place and secure it by bending four clinch tabs as
shown in figure 35.
10. Clamp remaining clinch tabs around the header
using the clinching tool or pliers (figure 36).
NOTICE: Tighten the clinch tabs by starting at
the center and working out to the ends.
11. Replace the core if there are more than three tabs
broken on one side or two adjacent tabs broken.
12. Install the drain cock, if removed.
13. Test the radiator for leaks.

All new GM vehicles are certified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as conforming to the require
ments of the regulations for the control of air pollution from new motor vehicles. This certification is contingent on certain
adjustments being set to factory standards. In most cases, these adjustment points either have been permanently sealed
and/or made inaccessible to prevent indiscrim inate or routine adjustm ent in the field. For this reason, the factory proce
dure for tem porarily removing plugs, cap, etc., for purposes of servicing the product, must be strictly followed and,
wherever practicable, returned to the original intent of the design. For vehicles sold in Canada and equipped with non
closed loop engines, also refer to the appropriate Canadian service manual supplement.
DESCRIPTION
This section covers information for carbureted and diesel engines only. For fuel system information on TBI equipped
vehicles, refer to the “ Fuel And Emissions Service M anual.”
6C-2 FUEL SYSTEM
AIR CLEANER
CAUTION: The air cleaner also functions as a
flame arrestor in the event of engine backfire.
The air cleaner should be installed at all times
unless its removal is necessary for repair or
maintenance. To help reduce the risk of per
sonal injury and property damage, be sure that
no one is near the engine compartment before
starting the engine with the air cleaner re
moved. If engine backfire occurs with the air
cleaner removed, there could be a burst of
flame and possibly other fire in the engine com
partment.
On vehicles with diesel engines, do not use
starting fluids—immediate engine damage can
result. Also take care not to let objects fall into
the engine if the air cleaner is removed. If the
engine is running, suction can pull loose ob
jects into the engine. Objects pulled or dropped
into the engine can cause costly engine dam
age.
When replacement of the air cleaner filter element is
necessary, an AC air filter element is recommended.
Refer to “ MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION” (SEC.
OB) for change intervals. Operation of the vehicle in dusty
areas will necessitate more frequent replacement.

DIESEL ENGINE FUEL FILTERS
The diesel engine fuel filter is an inline type filter which
com bines several different functions. It acts as a filter,
water separator, water detector, water drain, and a fuel
heater (Figure 2).
The first stage of the filter element is a water coalesor.
The coalesor element combines small droplets of water
into larger drops. The water collects in the bottom of the
filter element for draining. The fuel then passes through
the second stage of the filter element which is a paper
filter.
The filter acts as a water detector by turning on the
“ WATER IN FUEL” light on the instrum ent panel. The
probe of the water detector will touch water when 65 ml.
(2.2 fluid ounces) of water has collected in the filter. This
completes a circuit through the water to the cover assem
bly which turns on the “ WATER IN FUEL” light.
NOTICE: If the “ WATER IN FUEL” light comes
on and the fuel system is not purged of water,
fuel injection system damage may result.
When the light comes on, the filter should be drained
as soon as practical, but within one to two hours of engine
operation.
A water drain is located in the bottom of the fuel filter
assembly. By opening the water drain valve, water that
has collected in the bottom of the filter element can be
drained.
A fuel heater is located in the fuel filter assembly to
help prevent fuel waxing. The heater therm ostat turns the
heater on at about 0°C (32°F) and off at about 30°C
(80°F). The heater uses 7 to 13 amps depending on fuel
temperature.
DRAINING THE FUEL FILTER
1. Turn off the engine and apply the parking brake.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap to release any pressure or
vacuum in the fuel tank.
3. Place a suitable container under the filter drain
hose.

CAUTION: The water/diesel fuel mixture is
flammable, and could be hot. To help avoid
personal injury and/or property damage, do not
touch the fuel coming from the drain hose, and
do not expose the fuel to open flames or
sparks.
Be sure you do not overfill the container.
Heat (such as from the engine) can cause the
fuel to expand. If the container is too full, fuel
could be forced out of the container. This could
lead to a fire and the risk of personal injury
and/or vehicle damage.
4. Open the drain valve (7) two to three turns (figure 2).

FUEL PUMP
All carbureted and diesel engines use a m echanical
fuel pump located on the front right side of the engine.
The pump is a diaphragm type pump and is actuated by a
rocker arm through a link and pull rod.
Some engines have a special fuel pump that has a me
tering outlet for a vapor return system. Any vapor that
form s is returned to the fuel tank along with hot fuel. This
reduces the chance of vapor lock because cool fuel from
the tank is always circulated through the fuel pump.
The fuel pump rocker arm is moved back and forth by a
rod which rides on an eccentric on the engine camshaft.
The rocker arm pulls down on the pump diaphragm
against spring pressure. This causes a vacuum in the
pump cham ber which draws fuel from the tank through
the inlet valve. The cam shaft rotates and releases pres
sure on the rocker arm. This allows the spring to act on
the diaphragm and force fuel out of the pump cham ber
through the outlet valve and into the fuel line to the carbu
retor or diesel fuel injection pump.
When the carburetor float rises and closes the needle
valve, fuel cannot leave the pum p chamber. The spring is
held compressed by the fuel pressure in the pump cham
ber. The rocker arm idles on the cam eccentric and only
moves enough to maintain pressure on the spring. A con
stant pressure is maintained on the fuel in the line to the
carburetor. This pressure is proportional to the force of the
spring.
W hen the immediate fuel needs of the diesel engine
are satisfied, pressure builds in the fuel line and pump
chamber. This pressure forces the diaphragm /piston to
make shorter and shorter strokes, until more fuel is
needed in the engine.

DIESEL FUEL SYSTEM
CONTAMINATION
Fungi and other m icro-organism s can survive and
m ultiply in diesel fuel if water is present. The fungi can be
present in any part of the fuel handling system. These
fungi grow into long strings and will form into large
globules. The growths appear slim y and are usually black,
green, or brown. The fungi may grow anywhere in the fuel
but are most plentiful where diesel fuel and water meet.
As the fuel is agitated (when service station tanks are
being filled), fungi are distributed throughout the tank and
may be pumped into a vehicle.
Fungi use the fuel as their main energy supply and
need only trace amounts of water and minerals. As they
grow and multiply, they change fuel into water, sludge,
acids, and products of metabolism. The most common
symptom is fuel filter plugging; however, various metal
components (fuel tank, lines, and injection pump) can
corrode.
CAUTION: To avoid personal injury, do not
come into physical contact with biocides.
If fungi have caused fuel system problems, use a diesel
fuel biocide to sterilize the fuel system. Do not exceed the
dosage recommended on the label. Discontinue the use
of a biocide when towing a trailer. It is permissible to have
biocide in the fuel when starting to tow, but do not add any
biocide while towing.
Steam cleaning may be necessary if most of the fungus
growth cannot be removed with biocides.

paraffin during cold weather operation.
When this plugging occurs, the last four gallons of fuel
will not be used due to the location of the check valve.

All new GM vehicles are certified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as conform ing to the require
ments of the regulations for the control of air pollution from new motor vehicles. This certification is contingent on certain
adjustments being set to factory standards. In most cases, these adjustment points either have been permanently sealed
and/or made in accessible to prevent indiscrim inate or routine adjustment in the field. For this reason the factory proce
dure for temporarily removing plugs, cap, etc., for purpsoes of servicing the product, must be strictly followed and,
wherever practicable, returned to the original intent of the design. For vehicles sold in Canada and equipped with non
closed loop engines, also refer to the appropriate Canadian service manual supplement.

CARBURETOR MODEL 1MEF
Figure 1—1 MEF Carburetor
DESCRIPTION
Model 1MEF carburetors are single bore downdraft
carburetors using a triple venturi along with a discharge
tube nozzle (figure 1 ).
A power valve piston assem bly and m etering rod
control the fuel flow in the main metering and power
systems of the carburetor. The tapered metering rod is

Figure 2—Carburetor Identification
attached to the power piston and moves in a fixed
metering jet to provide the fuel flow for varying engine
demands. On 1MEF carburetors, a factory set metering
rod adjusting screw controls the position of the metering
rod in the jet. This screw is located in the air horn and
should not be turned as this could result in engine
damage or increased exhaust emissions.
Model 1MEF incorporates an integral automatic choke
system which uses an electrically heated choke coil. The
vacuum diaphragm unit is mounted externally on the air
horn and connects to the therm ostatic coil lever through a
connecting link.
The electric choke coil is contained in a choke housing,
which is mounted on a bracket attached to the float bowl.
Special rivets are installed to retain the factory setting of
the choke coil and provide a non-adjustable design.
An integral, pleated-paper fuel inlet filter is mounted in
the fuel bowl behind the fuel inlet nut to give maximum
filtration of incoming fuel. A check valve is used in the
filter inlet to prevent fuel draining from the fuel system
after rollover.
To improve hot engine starting and meet evaporative
emission requirements, fuel vapors from the carburetor
bowl are vented to a vapor canister on some models. A
tube (location F) is added to the air horn to connect the air
horn and canister.
Other features of the carburetors include an aluminum
throttle body for decreased weight and improved heat
distribution. A thick throttle body to bowl insulator gasket
keeps excessive engine heat from the float bowl.
All 1 MEF models have seals added in the float bowl to
seal the power piston drive rod and the pum p lever. This
prevents fuel vapors from escaping to atmosphere. During
unit repair, the seals and retainer, where used, must be
removed prior to immersion of the float bowl in carburetor
cleaner.
The carburetor model identification is stamped on a
vertical portion of the foat bowl, adjacent to the fuel inlet
nut (figure 2 ).
If replacing the float bowl, follow the m anufacturer’s
instructions contained in the service package so that the
identification number can be transferred to the new float
bowl.
An electrically operated idle stop solenoid and dual
throttle return springs are used on all carburetors.
The throttle lever has a spun-in plastic bushing which is
used as a bearing surface. The bushing will withstand
normal cleaning time in an approved cold immersion type
carburetor cleaner. The bushing is not serviced separately
and should not be removed from the carburetor throttle
lever.
Six basic systems of operation are used (figures 3
through 8 ).
• Float
• Power
• Idle
• Pump
• Main Metering
• Choke

body, between the locator points near the idle
mixture needle plug. The distance between
the cuts depends on the size of the punch to
be used.
• Cut down to the plug, but not more than
1 / 8 -inch beyond the locator point.
— Place a flat punch at a point near the ends of
the saw marks. Hold the punch at a 4 5° angle,
and drive it into the throttle body to break the
casting away, to expose the plug.
— Use a center punch to break the plug apart, to
uncover idle m ixture needle.

METERING SYSTEMS
B-09586
A single float cham ber supplies fuel to all carburetor
bores. A float, float needle with pull clip, and a float
needle seat, are used to control the level of fuel in the
float chamber. A vacuum -operated power piston and
metering rods control the air/fuel metering in the prim ary
bores of the carburetor. Tapered m etering rods are
attached to the power valve piston assembly, and move in
fixed metering jets, to provide the fuel flow for varying
engine demands. A factory-set adjustable part throttle
screw, used on all models, precisely positions the tapered
portion of the metering rods in the jets. (On M4MEF
m odels, the factory-set rich stop adjusting bushing
precisely positions the enrichm ent portion of the metering
rods in the jets.)
Figure 21—Carburetor Identification
DESCRIPTION
Models M4ME and M4MEF are four barrel, two stage
carburetors with three major assemblies: the air horn,
flo a t bowl, and th ro ttle body. T hey have six basic
operating systems (figures 21 through 31).
• Float
• Power
• Idle
• Pump
• Main Metering
• Choke
The first “ M” indicates this carburetor is of a Modified
prim ary metering “ open loop” design.
The “ 4M ” is the model designation, indicating it is a
four barrel carburetor. The remaining letters designate
specific features.
E — Has an electric choke.
F — has an adjustable wide open throttle mixture
control.
CARBURETOR IDENTIFICATION (Figure 21)
The ca rb uretor id e n tific a tio n n um ber is stam ped
vertically on the float bowl near the secondary throttle
lever. Refer to this num ber before servicing the carburetor.
If replacing the float bowl assembly, follow instructions in
Air valves and tapered metering rods control the air/fuel
mixture in the secondary bores during increased engine
air flow at wide open throttle. On M4MEF models, the
factory-set secondary well air bleed adjusting screw
provides additional control of the air/fuel mixture during
wide open throttle.
PUMP SYSTEMS
The pump system on all models uses a throttle actuated
pump plunger, operating in the pump well. The pump
provides extra fuel during quick throttle openings.
CHOKE SYSTEMS
A electrically heated choke coil provides the choke
valve closing force for cold startup and for correct opening
tim ing during warmup. A vacuum break assembly(s)
controls initial choke valve opening at startup to provide
sufficient air flow to the engine. An unloader tang on the
throttle lever forces the choke valve open to purge a
flooded engine when the accelerator is pressed to the
floor. The fast idle cam, following choke valve movement,
acts as a graduated throttle stop to provide increased idle
speed during warmup.

FLOAT LEVEL - EXTERNAL CHECK
Tool Required:
J-34935-1 External float Level Gage
1. W ith the engine idling and the choke valve wide
open, insert J-34935-1 in the vent slot or vent hole
(figure 32).
• Allow the gage to float freely.
NOTICE: Do not press dow n on the gage.
Flooding or float damage could result.
2. Observe the mark on the gage that lines up with the
top of the casting. The setting should be within
1.588mm (2/32-inch) of the specified float level
setting.
• Incorrect fuel pressure will adversely affect the
fuel level.
3. If not within specification, remove the air horn and
adjust the float.
CHOKE CHECKING PROCEDURE (ENGINE OFF)
1. Remove the air cleaner assembly.
2. Hold the throttle half way down.
3. Open and close the choke several times. Be sure all
links are connected, and are not damaged. Choke
valve, linkage, and fast idle cam must operate freely.
• If the choke valve, linkage, or fast idle cam is
sticking due to varnish, clean with choke
cleaner X-20-A or equvialent.
• Do not lubricate linkage, as lub rica nt w ill
collect dust and cause sticking.
Figure 33— Plugging Vacuum Break Bleed Holes
CHECKING ELECTRIC CHOKE - ON VEHICLE
1 . Allow the choke stat to stabilize at about 21 °C
(70 °F).
2. Open the throttle, to allow the choke valve to close.
3. Start the engine, determ ine the length of tim e for the
choke valve to reach full open position:
• If longer than five minutes, check the voltage
at the choke stat connector, with the engine
running:
• If voltage is between 12 and 15 volts:
Check for proper ground between choke
cover and choke housing. If correct,
replace choke cover assembly.
• If the voltage is low or zero: Check all
wires and connections. Refer to ENGINE
ELECTRICAL (SEC. 6 D).
VACUUM BREAK CHECKING PROCEDURE
Tool Required:
J-23738-A, Hand Operated Vacuum Pump
1. If the vacuum break has an air bleed hole, plug it
during this checking procedure (figure 33).
2. Apply -51 kPa (15 in. Hg.) vacuum to the vacuum
break.
• Apply finger pressure to see if the plunger has
moved through full travel. If not, replace the
vacuum break.
• Observe the vacuum gage. Vacuum should
hold vacuum for at least twenty seconds. If
not, replace the vacuum break.
3. Replace vacuum break hoses that are cracked, cut
or hardened.
CHECKING IDLE STOP SOLENOID (ISS)
A non-functioning idle stop solenoid (ISS) (if equipped)
could cause stalling or rough idle.
1. Turn the igntion on but do not start the engine.
2. Open the throttle mom entarily to allow the solenoid
plunger to extend.

3. Disconnect the wire at the solenoid. The plunger
should drop back from the throttle lever.
4. Connect the solenoid wire. The plunger should
move out and contact the throttle lever.
5. If the plunger does not move in and out as the wire
is disconnected and connected, check voltage
across the feed wire.
• If the voltage is 12 to 15 volts, replace the
solenoid.
• If the voltage is low, locate the cause of the
open circuit in the solenoid feed wire; repair as
necessary.
CHECKING THROTTLE KICKER
Tool Required:
J-23738-A, Hand Held Vacuum Pump
1. Hold the throttle half way open to allow the plunger
to extend fully.
2. Apply - 6 8 (20" Hg) vaucum to the throttle kicker
(figure 34).
• Apply finger pressure to the plunger to see if it
has extended fully. If not, replace the throttle
kicker.
• Observe the vacuum gage. Vacuum should
hold for at least twenty seconds. If not, replace
the throttle kicker.
3. Release the vacuum to the throttle kicker.
• If the plunger does not retract to its starting
position, replace kicker.
• The filter must include an inlet check valve to
m e e t M o to r V e h ic le S a fe ty S ta n d a rd s
(M.V.S.S.) for roll-over.
• The check valve end of the filter must face the

IDLE MIXTURE ADJUSTMENT
(HEAVY DUTY EMISSION
VEHICLES ONLY)
In case of a major carburetor overhaul, throttle body
replacement, or high idle CO (when indicated by an
emissions inspection), the idle m ixture may be adjusted.
Adjusting the mixture by other than the following method
may violate Federal and/or state laws (figures 36 through
38).

Tool Required:
J-29030-B Idle Mixture Needle Socket.
1. Set parking brake and block drive wheels.
12.
2. Remove the carburetor from the engine.
3. Drain fuel from the carburetor into a container.
Dispose of the fuel in an approved container.
4. Remove idle m ixture needle plugs (figure 36):
• Invert the carburetor and support it to avoid
damaging external components.
13.
• Make two parallel hacksaw cuts in the throttle
body, between the locator points near one idle
mixture needle plug. The distance between
the cuts depends on the size of the punch to
be used.
— Cut down to the plug, but not more than
1 / 8 -inch beyond the locator point.
• Place a flat punch at a point near the ends of
the saw marks. Hold the punch at a 45 degree
angle and drive it into the throttle body until
the casting breaks away, exposing the steel
plug.
• Use a center punch to break the plug apart,
uncover idle m ixture needle.
— Remove all loose pieces of plug.
• Repeat the previous steps for the other needle
plug.
Use J-29030-B to ligh tly seat the idle m ixture
needles, then back out three turns.
Reinstall carburetor on the engine.
Place tra n sm issio n in “ P ” (PARK) (au tom a tic
tr a n s m is s io n ) o r “ N ” (N E U T R A L ) (m a n u a l

Start the engine and bring it to a normal operating
temperature, choke valve open, and air conditioning
off.
C onnect a know n a ccurate ta ch o m e te r to the
engine.
Check ignition tim ing, and adjust if necessary, by
following the procedure described on the Emission
Control Information Label.
Use J-29030-B to turn the mixture needles equally
( 1/8 turn at a time), in or out, to obtain the highest
RPM (best idle).
Adjust the idle speed screw (throttle stop) to obtain
the base idle speed specified on the Emission
Control Information label.
Again try to readjust mixture needles to obtain the
highest idle RPM.
The adjustm ent is correct when the highest RPM
(best idle) is reaches with the minimum num ber of
mixture needle turns from the seated position.

DESCRIPTION
The 6.2 L diesel engine fuel system is composed of:
• Fuel tank
• Mechanical fuel pump
• Fuel filter with water sensor and heater
• Fuel filter restriction switch
• Injection distributor pump
• High pressure lines
• Fuel injection nozzles
Fuel is drawn from the fuel tank by the mechanical
pump which is located on the right side of the engine. The
pump is driven by an eccentric lobe on the camshaft
through a push rod. Fuel is then pumped through the filter
/ water spearator. The filter / water separator is located on
the engine side of the cowl (R-V models) or under the rear
of the air cleaner (G-P models). The fuel is then trans
ferred to the injection pump.
The injection pump is mounted on top of the engine
under the intake manifold. The pump is driven by the
camshaft through two gears, one attached to the front of
the camshaft and the other attached to the end of the
injection pump shaft. These gears are the same size and
have the same number of teeth; therefore, the injection
pump shaft turns at the same speed as the camshaft. The
pump turns in the opposite direction of the camshaft and
crankshaft.
The injection pump is a high pressure rotary type pump
that meters, pressurizes, and distributes fuel to the eight
injector nozzles. The eight high pressure lines are all the
same length although their shape may be different. This
prevents tim ing differences between cylinders. Injection
lines should not be bent to ease removal.

Loosen the vacuum regulator valve (VRV) so it is free
to rotate on the pump.
Attach a vacuum source of 67 + 5 kPa (20 inches Hg
± 1.5 inch Hg) to the bottom vacuum port of the VRV.
Attach a vacuum gage to the top vacuum port (figure

Insert the proper gage block between the gage boss on
the injection pump and the wide open stop screw on
the throttle lever (switch on position) (figure 5).
• Refer to the Emission Control Information label

clockwise (facing the valve) until the vacuum gage
reads 38.8 ± 2 kPa (11.5 ± 0.6 inches Hg). Hold the
valve body at this position and tighten the mounting
screws to 6 N m (54 in. lbs.).
Check by allowing the throttle shaft to return to the idle
stop position. Then rotate the throttle shaft back
against the gage block and read the vacuum gage.
The gage should read 38.8 ± 2 kPa (11.5 ± 0.6 inches
Hg). If vacuum is outside of limits, reset the valve.
With the valve vacuum set, confirm the detent switch
point by reading the resistance between the ignition
terminal (pink with black stripe) and the detent terminal
(orange).
Insert J-36142 between the wide open stop pin and the
wide open stop screw on the throttle lever.
Rotate the throttle lever against the tool. There should
be no continuity (infinite resistance).
11. Release the throttle lever and remove the switch gage
tool.
12. Rotate the throttle lever to wide open throttle (the lever
stop screw touching the pump stop pin).
13. Check the switch for continuity. The switch must have
continuity (1 to 0 ohms) before the throttle reaches the
wide open throttle position. If the switch does not meet
these specifications, reset the assembly by returning to
step 1 and repeating the entire procedure.
HOUSING PRESSURE
COLD ADVANCE
The Housing Pressure Cold Advance feature advances
the injection tim in g about fo u r degrees d urin g cold
operation. This provides better cold starts, improved cold
idle, and emission control.
The circuit is actuated by a coolant temperature switch
on the rear of the right cylinder head. The switch is
calibrated to open the circuit at 35°C (95°F). Below the
s w itc h in g p oint, tim in g is adva nce d by decrea sing
housing pressure from 68.95 kPa (10 psi) to zero. Above
the switching point, the housing pressure is returned to
68.95 kPa (10 psi). The fast idle solenoid is energized by
the same switch.

INJECTION NOZZLE TESTS
Nozzle testing is comprised of the following checks:
• Nozzle opening pressure
• Leakage
• Chatter
• Spray pattern
Each test should be considered independent of the
others (for example, when checking opening pressure, do
not check for leakage).
If all of the above tests are satisfied, the nozzle holder
assembly can be re-used. If any one of the tests is not
satisfied, the complete nozzle holder assem bly must be
replaced. The nozzle holder will then be checked and
repaired at a centralized location.
• Test Lines - 6 x 2 x 400 mm (1.5 mm bore).
• Test Fluid - per ISO 4113 (Example: Shell V 1399,
Viscosity 1487C or equivalent).
• Kinetic Viscosity at 40° - per ISO 3104: 2,45 - 2.75 mm
2/second.
• Test oil temperature during test: 20 - 25°C (6 8 °F 77°F).
DIESEL FUEL INJECTION 6C2-11
• Refer to the equipment manufacturers instructions for
exact test procedures.
1. Connect the nozzle holder assembly to the test line.
2. Place clear plastic tubes on overflow connections to
prevent leakoff from being confused with actual leak.
3. Close the shutoff valve to the pressure gage.
CAUTION: When testing nozzles, do not place
your hands or arms near the tip of the nozzle.
The high pressure atomized fuel spray from a
nozzle has sufficient penetrating power to
puncture flesh and destroy tissue and may
result in blood poisoning. The nozzle tip should
always be enclosed in a receptacle, preferably
transparent, to contain the spray.
4. Fill and flush the nozzle holder assembly with test oil
by activating the lever briskly and repeatedly. This will
apply test oil to all functionally important areas of the
nozzle and purge it of air.
OPENING PRESSURE TEST
1. O pen
the s h u to ff valve at the p re ssure gage
one-quarter turn.
CAUTION: When testing nozzles, do not place
your hands or arms near the top of the nozzle.
The high pressure atomized fuel spray from a
nozzle has sufficient penetrating power to
puncture flesh and destroy tissue and may
result in blood poisoning. The nozzle tip should
always be enclosed in a receptacle preferably
transparent, to contain the spray.
2. Depress the tester lever slowly. Note at what pressure
the needle of the pressure gage stopped. The
maximum observed pressure is the opening pressure.
• Some nozzles may pop while other nozzles may
drip down (this is not leakage).
3. The opening pressure should not fall below the lower
limit of 105 bar (1500 psi) on used nozzles.
4. Replace nozzles which fall below the lower limit.
LEAKAGE TEST
1. Further open the shutoff valve at the pressure gage V2
to 1 V2 turns).
2. Blow-dry the nozzle tip.
CAUTION: When testing nozzles, do not place
your hands or arms near the top of the nozzle.
The high pressure atomized fuel spray from a
nozzle has sufficient penetrating power to
puncture flesh and destroy tissue and may
result in blood poisoning. The nozzle tip should
always be enclosed in a receptacle preferably
transparent, to contain the spray.
3. Depress the lever of the manual test stand slowly until
the gage reads a pressure of 95 bar (1400 psi).
Observe the nozzle tip. A drop may form on the end of
the nozzle but should not drop off within a period of 10
seconds.
4. Replace the nozzle assembly if a drop falls during the
10 seconds.
CHATTER TEST
When testing for chatter, it should be noted that the
sound (chatter) for new and used nozzles may vary. This
is due to carbonized fuel deposits on the pintle and
nozzle tip of used nozzles. With some used nozzles,
chatter is difficult to detect during slow actuation of the
hand lever.
Some nozzles may chatter louder than others. As long
as there is chatter, the nozzle is acceptable.
1. Close the shutoff lever at the pressure gage.
CAUTION: When testing nozzles, do not place
your hands or arms near the top of the nozzle.
The high pressure atomized fuel spray from a
nozzle has su fficien t penetrating power to
puncture flesh and destroy tissue and may
result in blood poisoning. The nozzle tip should
always be enclosed in a receptacle preferably
transparent, to contain the spray.
2. Depress the lever of the test stand slowly and note
whether chatter noise can be heard.
3. If no chattter is heard, move the lever faster until it
chatters. At fast lever movement, the nozzle may make
a “ hissing” or “ squealing” sound rather than the
normal chatter. This is acceptable.
4. These sounds indicate that the nozzle needle moves
freely and that the nozzle seat, guide, and pintle are
OK.
5. Replace nozzles that do not chatter.
SPRAY PATTERN
This nozzle features a longer nozzle overlap, greater
p in tle to b o d y c le a ra n c e , g re a te r n e e d le to b o d y
clearance, and an internal wave washer between the
nozzle nut and the nozzle. These features make objective
spray pattern testing difficult.
A pop tester will not deliver fuel fast enough for proper
spray pattern analysis. Based on this, this type of nozzle
should not be rejected for spray pattern.

Engine electrical system diagnosis includes the battery,
charging system (generator and related wiring), cranking
system (starter and related wiring), ignition system (dis
tributor, spark plugs and wiring) and the glow plug system
(diesel electrical).
Light duty emission vehicles are equipped with an elec
tronic computer comm and control system. These vehicles
have a “ Check Engine” or “ Service Engine Soon” lamp
on the instrum ent panel. Refer to the Fuel and Emissions
Service Manual for a detailed description of the lam p’s
operation and use as a diagnostic indicator.
Some vehicles sold in Canada may have variations in
electrical components. Refer to the appropriate Canadian
Service Manual Supplement.
BA T T ER Y
gasses that are produced in the battery to escape. The
special chem ical composition inside the battery reduces
gassing to a very small am ount at normal charging
voltages. Besides reducing gassing, the special chem istry
greatly reduces the possibility of overcharge damage.
Keep the battery in an upright position to prevent
electrolyte leakage. Tipping the battery beyond a 45
degree angle in any direction can allow a small amount of
electrolyte to leak out the vent hole.
Do not exceed this 45 degree angle when carrying or
installing the battery.
Evidence of electrolyte leakage does not always mean
the battery is defective.

DESCRIPTION
The battery has three m ajor functions in the electrical
system: first, it provides a source of energy for cranking
the engine; second, it acts as a voltage stabilizer for the
electrical system; and third, it can, for a limited time,
provide energy when the electrical load used exceeds the
output of the generator.
The sealed battery as shown in figure 1 is standard.
Water never needs to be added. There are no filler caps in
the cover. The battery is sealed, except for small vent
holes in the cover. The vents allow what small amount of
Batteries are rated according to their reserve capacity
in minutes and their cold cranking power in amperes.
Both methods involve m easuring the battery term inal
voltage after a specified tim e period and discharge
current.
The “ reserve capacity” is defined as the maximum
length of tim e it is possible to travel at night with m inimum
electrical load and no generator output. Expressed in
minutes, it is the tim e required for a fully charged 12 -volt
battery, at a te m p e ra tu re of 2 7 ° C (8 0 ° F), being
discharged at a constant current of 25 amperes, to reach
a term inal voltage of 10.5 volts.
The “ cold cranking ampere” (CCA) test measures the
amperage delivered by the battery at -1 8 ° C (0° F) for 30
seconds.
Refer to “ Specifications” at the end of this section for
battery ratings.

Figure 2—Built-In Hydrometer
BUILT-IN HYDROMETER
T he s e a le d b a tte ry has a s p e c ia l te m p e ra tu re
compensated hydrometer built into the cover to show at a
glance the battery’s state-of-charge. The hydrometer has
a green ball within a cage which is attached to a clear
plastic rod. The green ball will float at a predetermined
specific gravity of the electrolyte. When the green ball
floats, it rises within the cage and positions itself under
the rod. Visually a green dot then shows in the center of
the h ydrom eter (figure 2 ). The b uilt-in h ydrom eter
provides a guide for battery testing and charging.
When looking at the hydrometer, make sure that the
battery has a clean top. A lamp may be needed in some
poorly-lit areas.
1. GREEN DOT VISIBLE: The state of charge is 65
percent or more of the full charge.
2. DARK; GREEN DOT NOT VISIBLE: The state of
charge is below 65 percent. Charge the battery until
the green dot appears. (Shake the battery slightly to
make the green dot appear after charging).
3. CLEAR OR LIGHT YELLOW: The fluid level has
dropped below the bottom of the hydrometer. This
can be caused by a broken case, tipping of the
If testing shows the battery to be in good condition but
the battery doesn’t perform satisfactorily, check for the
following:
1 . Vehicle accessories left on overnight.
2. Extended slow-speed driving with many accessories
turned on.
3. The v e h ic le e le c tric a l load is m ore th a n the
generator output, particularly with the addition of
aftermarket equipment.
4. Problems in the charging system such as shorts,
slipping fan belt, or worn generator or regulator
parts.
5. Loose or poor battery cable-to-post connections,
previous improper charging of a rundown battery, or
loose hold-downs.
6 . High-resistance connections in the cranking system.
7. Electronic devices draining the battery when the
v e h ic le is p a rke d fo r a long p e rio d of tim e .
Disconnect the negative cable if the vehicle will be
stored for more than 30 days.
Electrolyte Freezing
The freezing point of electrolyte depends on its specific
gravity. Since freezing may ruin a battery, protect it
against freezing by keeping it in a charged condition.
Carrier And Hold-Down
The carrier and hold-down should be clean and free
from corrosion before battery installation.
The carrier should be in a sound mechanical condition
so that it will support the battery securely and keep it
level. Make certain there are no foreign objects in the
carrier before installation.
To prevent the battery from shaking in its carrier, tighten
the hold-down bolts. However, do not tighten the bolts to
where the battery case or cover is placed under a severe
strain.

BATTERY CHARGING
PROCEDURES
The following basic rules apply to any sealed battery
charging situation:
1. Do not charge a battery if the hydrometer is clear or
light yellow— replace the battery.
2. C harge rates betw een 3 and 50 am peres are
satisfactory as long as spewing of electrolyte does
not occur or the battery does not feel over 52° C,
(125° F). If spewing occurs or temperature exceeds
5 2° C (125° F), the charging rate must be reduced
or temporarily halted to permit cooling.
Estimate battery temperature by touching or feeling
the battery case.
3. The battery is sufficiently charged when the green
dot in the built-in hydrometer is visible. No further
charging is required. Shake or tilt the batter at
h o u rly in te rv a ls d u rin g c h a rg in g to m ix th e
electrolyte and see if the green dot appears.
4. Battery charging consists of a charge current in
amperes for a period of time in hours. Thus a
25-ampere charging rate for 2 hours would be 50
ampere-hour charge to the battery. In most cases,
batteries whose load test values are less than 2 0 0
amperes will have the green dot visible after at least
a 50 ampere-hour charge. Most batteries whose
load test values are greater than 2 0 0 amperes will
have the green dot visible after at least a 75
ampere-hour charge. In the event that the green dot
does not appear after this amount of charging,
c o n tin u e c h a rg in g fo r a n o th e r 50 o r 75
ampere-hours. If the green dot still does not appear,
replace the battery.
5. The time required for a charge will vary according
to:
a. Size of battery — Example: A discharged
large heavy-duty battery requires more than
twice the recharging as a discharged small
passenger car battery.
b. Temperature — Example: A longer time will be
needed to charge any battery at -1 8 ° C (0° F)
than at 27° C (80° F). When a fast charger is
connected to a cold battery, the cu rre n t
accepted by the battery will be very low at first;
then, as the battery warms, it will accept a
higher rate.
c. State-of-charge — Example: A discharged
battery requires more than twice as much
c h a rg e as a o n e -h a lf-c h a rg e d b a tte ry .
Because the electrolyte is nearly pure water
and therefore a poor conductor, the current
accepted is low at first. Later, as the charging
current causes the electrolyte acid content to
increase, the charging current will likewise
increase.
d. C harger C apacity — Exam ple: A charger
which can supply only 5 amperes will require a
much longer period of charging than a charger
that can supply 30 amperes or more.

Figure 7—12-SI Series 100 Generator
Figure 8—17-SI Series 100 Generator
DESCRIPTION
The generator rotor bearings contain enough grease to
eliminate the need for periodic lubrication. Two. brushes
carry current through the two slip rings to the field coil
mounted on the rotor, and under normal conditions will
provide long periods of attention-free service.
The charging system consists of the battery, the
g en erator, th e regulator, and th e ch a rg in g system
indicator lamp circuitry. The generator supplies electrical
power for charging the battery and operating accessories.
Two types of generators are used on these vehicles, the
SI generator with an external 2 -terminal connector on the
re g ula tor, and the CS g e n e ra to r w ith an e x te rn a l
4-terminal connector on the regulator. The diagnostic
tests for these generators are different.
12-SI 100 AND 17-SI 100 GENERATORS
(Figures 7, 8 and 9)
These generators are of the “ Systems Integral” series
(generator with built-in regulator).
The solid state regulator components are enclosed into
a solid mold, and this unit, along with the brush holder
assembly, is attached to the slip ring end frame. The
regulator voltage setting cannot be adjusted.
The stator w indings are assembled on the inside of a
laminated core that forms part of the generator frame.
T he 12-SI has a “ Y ” s ta to r and the 17-SI has a
delta-wound stator. A rectifier bridge connected to the
stator w indings contains six diodes, and electrically
changes the stator AC voltages to a DC voltage which
appears at the generator output (BAT) terminal. Generator
field current is supplied thorugh a diode trio which also is
c o n n e c te d to th e s ta to r w in d in g s . A c a p a c ito r or
condenser, m ounted in the end frame, protects the
rectifier bridge and diode trio from high voltages, and
suppresses radio noise.
No periodic adjustments or maintenance of any kind is
required on the entire generator assembly.
6D-8 ENGINE ELECTRICAL
to the field coil, then through the wire at term inal number
1 to the charge indicator lamp. The lamp goes out since
approximately the same voltage is present at both sides
of the lamp. On vehicles with gages a voltmeter indicates
voltage.
CS-130 GENERATORS (Figures 10, 11 and 12)
CIRCUIT OPERATION
When the engine control switch is turned to “ Run” or
“ S tart” , the switch closes and current from the battery
flows through the charging system indicator lamp, the
number 1 term inal, the regulator, ground, and back to the
battery. Current also flows through the generator field coil
and back to the battery. The charge indicator lamp then
turns on.
W ith the generator o perating, direct cu rren t (DC)
voltage is applied to the battery through the “ BAT”
terminal. Some of the output flows through the diode trio

F-02516
These generators feature a high ampere output per
pound of weight. The CS stands for charging system and
130 is the measurement in m illim eters of the outside
diameter of the stator laminations.
This generator with integral regulator does not have a
diode trio. The delta stator, rectifier bridge, and rotor with
slip rings and brushes are electrically sim ilar to other
generators. A conventional fan and pulley are used, and
an internal fan cools the slip rings, end frame, rectifier
bridge and regulator.
The charge indicator lights when the engine control
switch is closed, and goes out when the engine is
running. If the charge indicator is on with the engine
running, a charging system problem is indicated. The
indicator will glow at full brilliance, not half lit, if any
charging problem occurs or if the system voltage is too
high or too low.
The regulator voltage setting varies with temperature,
and limits system voltage by controlling rotor field current.
It sw itches rotor field current on and off at a fixed
frequency of about 400 cycles per second. By varying the
on-off time, correct average field current for proper system
voltage control is obtained. At high speeds, the on-time
may be 10 percent and the off-time 90 percent. At low
speeds, with high electrical loads, on-off tim e may be 90
percent and 10 percent respectively.
The regulator has four terminals, “ P,” “ L,” “ I,” and “ S”
(figure 12). The use of the “ P,” “ L ,” and “ S” term inals is
optional. The “ P” term inal is connected to the stator, and
may be wired to a tachometer or other device. The “ S”
term inal may be wired to the battery to sense voltage to
be controlled. The “ L” and “ I” term inals serve to turn on
the regulator and allow field current to flow when the
switch is closed. The “ I” term inal may be connected
directly to the switch, or through a resistor. Both are
illustrated. The “ I” circuit may be used with or w ithout the
“ L” circuit; that is, with or w ithout anything connected to
the “ L” circuit. Refer to the Light Duty Truck W iring
Diagrams for specific application.
The generator is not serviceable, and no periodic
maintenance is required.

DIAGNOSIS OF CHARGING SYSTEM
NOISY GENERATOR
Noise from a generator may be caused by a loose drive
pulley, loose mounting bolts, worn or dirty bearings, worn
diode or stator. If the pulley and mounting bolts are snug
and the noise continues, remove the generator for
inspection and repair. Refer to “ Generator Replacem ent”
later in this section.
ELECTRICAL TESTS
Before performing the diagnosis procedures on the
vehicle, be certain that the system wiring is good and the
generator belt is not slipping. Also, the battery must be
fully charged for a valid test of the charging system.

precautions:
• Do not polarize the generator.
• Do not short across or ground any o f the
terminals in the charging circuit except as
specifically instructed herein.
• NEVER o p era te the g en e rato r with the
output terminal open-circuited.
• Make sure the generator and battery have
the same ground polarity.
• When c on nectin g a charger or booster

Check the indicator lamp for normal operation in the
“ C ha rg ing System D ia g n o s is ,” (figure 13). If lam p
operation is normal, proceed to “ Undercharged Battery” .
UNDERCHARGED BATTERY
Slow cranking or a dark battery hydrometer can be
caused by one or more of the following conditions even
though the indicator lamp may be operating normally. The
following procedures also apply to vehicles equipped with
a voltmeter.
1 . Check that the
undercharged condition has not
been caused by accessories having been left on for
extended periods.
2. Check the drive belt for proper tension. Refer to
E N G IN E C O O L IN G
(SEC . 6 B) fo r b e lt
specifications.
3. If you suspenct the battery is bad, do a load test.
Refer to “ Battery” earlier in this section.
4. Inspect the wiring for cracks or breaks. Check all
c irc u it co nn ectio ns, ca ble clam ps and b attery
term inals for tightness and cleanliness.
5. With the engine control switch on and all wiring
harness leads connected, use a voltmeter for the
following checks:

• Should read 12 volts.
A zero reading on any of the above indicates an open
between the voltmeter connection and the battery. If
checks 1 through 5 are normal perform the generator
output test.
OVERCHARGED BATTERY
If the battery feels hot, is spewing electrolyte, or lamps
seem too b rig h t w hen tu rn e d on, an o v e rch a rg e d
condition may exist.
To check the voltage, install a voltmeter across the
battery. Run the engine at m oderate speed with all
accessories off. If the voltage reads 15.5 or more, remove
the generator for repair.
GENERATOR OUTPUT TEST (Figure 14)
1. Disconnect the battery ground cable.
2. Connect an ammeter in the circuit at the battery
terminal of the generator.
3. Reconnect battery ground cable.
4. Turn on the radio, w indshield wipers, headlamps
(high beam) and blower motor high speed.
5. Connect a carbon pile across the battery.
6 . Run the engine at moderate speed (about 2,000
rpm) and adjust the carbon pile to obtain maximum
current output.
7. If the ampere output is within 10 amperes of the
rated ouput as stamped on the generator frame, the
generator is probably all right.
8 . If the vehicle is equipped with a charging system
indicator lamp, and the lamp remains on while the
engine runs, and ampere output is normal, remove
the generator for repair. Check the diode trio and
rectifier bridge.
9. If the ampere output is not within 10 percent of the
rated ouput in amperes, see if the test hole is
accessible (figure 15). If it is not accessible go to
step 14.
10. Ground the field winding by inserting a screwdriver
into the test hole.

TRANSISTORIZED VOLTAGE
REGULATOR TEST
Connect a fast charger and a voltmeter to the battery as
shown in figure 16. With the engine control switch on
“ run” and the engine off, slowly increase the charge rate.
The charging system indicator lamp (on vehicles without
gages) will dim at the voltage regulator setting. The
setting should be at a minimum of 13.5 volts and a
maximum of 16.0 volts.
This test works if the rotor circuit is good, even if the
stator, rectifier bridge or diode trio is bad.
CS-130 CHARGING SYSTEM
CIRCUIT DIAGNOSIS
Trouble in the charging system will show up as one or
more of the following conditions:
• Abnormal indicator lamp operation.
• An undercharged battery as evidenced by slow
cranking or dark hydrometer.
• An overcharged battery as evidenced by excessive
spewing of electrolyte from the vents.
ENGINE ELECTRICAL 6D-13
A basic wiring diagram for the charging system is
shown in fig ure 12. W hen the system is operating
normally, the indicator lamp (on vehicles so equipped) will
come on when the engine control switch is turned on and
go out when the engine starts. If the lamp operates
abnormally, or if an undercharged or overcharged battery
condition occurs, the following procedure may be used to
d ia gn ose the c h a rg in g system . R em em ber th a t an
undercharged battery is often caused by accessories
being left on overnight, or by a switch stuck closed which
allows a lamp, such as a trunk or glove box lamp, to stay

DESCRIPTION
In the diesel engine, air alone is compressed in the
cylinder; then after the air has been compressed a charge
of fuel is sprayed into the cylinder and ignition occurs due
to the heat of compression. Eight glow plugs are used to
preheat the chamber as an aid to starting (figure 18).
T h e d ie s e l g lo w p lu g s y s te m c o n s is ts o f an
intergral-electronic co ntrol/g low plug relay assem bly,
6 -volt glow plugs, a glow plug inhibit temperature switch
and a “ GLOW PLUGS” lamp.
Figure 19—Glow Plug Controller
ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER/GLOW PLUG
RELAY ASSEMBLY (Figures 19 and 20)
The assembly contains the circuitry which monitors and
controls glow plug relay operation. Information is received
at pins B and C which is used by the controller to
determ ine glow plug ope ra ting requirem ents. Pin B
senses voltage at the starting motor solenoid. Pin C
senses glow plug voltage through the glow plug inhibit
switch which is wired in series with the glow plug voltage
sense lead to the glow plugs. The controller is mounted at
the rear of the left cylinder head on two 10 mm studs.
GLOW PLUG INHIBIT SWITCH
GLOW PLUGS
These are 6 -volt heaters (operated at 12 volts) that turn
on when the engine control switch is turned to the run
position prior to starting the engine. They remain pulsing
a short time after starting, then autom atically turn off.
The switch is temperature controlled and opens above
51.5° C (125° F) to prevent glow plug operation above this
temperature. It is mounted at the rear of the right cylinder
head on the P truck and G van, and in the water crossover
near the front of the engine on the RV truck.
INSTRUMENTATION
CIRCUIT OPERATION
V e h ic le s w ith th e d ie s e l e n g in e have s p e c ia l
instrum entation indicators to p erm it the operator to
properly apply the starting procedure. A “ GLOW PLUGS”
lamp on the instrument panel provides this information on
engine starting conditions.
Vehicles equipped with diesel engines have a “ WATER
IN FUEL” lamp and "LOW COOLANT” lamp. Refer to the
engine fuel and engine cooling sections for information on
these systems.
A normal functioning system operates as follows:
A. K ey on - E n g in e n o t ru n n in g a n d a t room
temperature.
1. Glow plugs ON for 4 to 6 seconds, then OFF
for about 4.5 seconds.
2. Then cycle; ON for about 1.5 seconds, OFF for
about 4.5 seconds, and continue to cycle 1.5
ON/4.5 OFF, for a total duration (including the
initial 4 to 6 seconds) of about 20 seconds.

B. If the engine is cranked during or after the above
sequence, the glow plugs will cycle ON/OFF for a
total duration of 25 seconds after the engine control
switch is returned from the crank position, whether
the engine starts or not. The engine does not have
to be running to terminate the glow plug cycling.
All the tim es shown above are approximate because
they vary with initial engine temperature. The initial ON
time and cycling ON/OFF tim es vary also with system

GLOW PLUG SYSTEM
If all connections are intact, but the glow plug system
does not operate as stated, do the system diagnosis
shown in figure 21. It provides a fast way to find if the glow
plug system is working properly. Use this procedure
whenever there is doubt about correct system operation.
Then refer to the diagnostic chart in figure 22 to pinpoint
the condition.
GLOW PLUG AFTERSTART
The glow plug controller provides glow plug operation
after starting a cold engine. This after-start operation is
initiated when the engine control switch is returned to
“ RUN” from the “ START” position. W hile loss of this
function may not cause a cold start com plaint, it may
result in excessive white sm oking and/or poor idle quality
after start. To check for proper operation of this circuit
proceed as follows:
1 . With the engine cold 2 7° C (80° F), turn the engine
control switch to the RUN position and let the glow
plugs cycle.
2. After 2 minutes crank the engine for 1 second. (It is
not im portant that the engine starts.) Return the
engine control switch to RUN. Glow plugs should
cycle at least once after cranking.
3. If the plugs do not turn on, disconnect the controller
connector, and c h e c k the c o n n e c to r h arne ss
terminal B with a grounded 12-volt test lamp. The
lamp should be off with the engine control switch in
RUN, and on when the engine is cranked.
4. If the lamp does not operate as just described,
repair a short or open in the engine harness purple
wire.
5. If the lamp works right, but the afterstart glow plug
feature does not, replace the controller.
NOTICE: Do not manually bypass the relay in the
glow plug controller. Do not jum p start with
more than a 12-volt system. The glow plugs
could be damaged.
GLOW PLUG ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
Check the system and its components on the vehicle.
None of the components are serviceable. When install
ing new co m p o n e n ts and m a kin g c o n n e c tio n s , be
sure that connections are tight and torque values are
used. Torque the glow plugs to 17 N m (12 ft. lbs.) when
installed.
CRANKING SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
CRANKING CIRCUIT
The basic cranking circuit consists of the battery, starter
motor, engine control switch, neutral sensing or neutral
start switch, and related electrical wiring (figure 23).
STARTER MOTOR
Two types of starter motors are used in the vehicles
covered in this manual (figures 24 and 25). Both have the
shift lever m echanism and the solenoid plunger enclosed
in the drive housing to protect them from exposure to dirt,
icing conditions and splash.
In the basic circuit (figure 23), the solenoid w indings are
energized when the switch is closed (in the “ S ta rt”
position). The resulting plunger and shift lever movement
causes the pinion to mesh with the engine flywheel ring
gear and the solenoid main contacts to close, and engine
cranking takes place. When the engine starts, pinion
overrun protects the armature from excessive speed until
the switch is opened, at which time the return spring
causes the pinion to disengage. To prevent excessive
overrun, open the engine control switch (release from the
“ S tart” position) imm ediately when the engine starts.

for repair, make the following checks.
CRANKING CIRCUIT
BATTERY
D eterm ine the c o n d itio n of the battery. R efer to
“ Battery” earlier in this section for battery diagnosis and
testing.
WIRING
Inspect the circu it w iring for dam age. Inspect all
connections to the starter motor, solenoid, engine control
switch, and battery, including all ground connections.
Clean and tighten all connections as required.
SOLENOID AND CONTROL SWITCHES
C heck all switches to determ ine th eir condition. A
vehicle equipped with an automatic transm ission has a
neutral start switch which allows the vehicle to be started
in Park or Neutral. It is located on the steering column
near the floor. A vehicle with a manual transm ission has a
neutral start switch attached to the clutch.
The P truck with a 7.4L engine has a m agnetic switch in
the cranking circuit (figure 29).
Magnetic Switch Check (Figure 30)
To operate properly, the switch requires at least 11 volts.
Connect a voltmeter across the winding. Close the engine
control switch. If the voltmeter reads less then 11 volts,
locate and repair the problem in the engine control
switch, battery, or wiring. If the voltage reads 11 volts or
above, yet the voltage does not seem to be reaching the
starter, replace the magnetic switch.

the pinion teeth and flywheel teeth are meshed. If
necessary, rotate the flywheel so that a pinion tooth
is directly in the center of two flywheel teeth and on
the centerline of the two gears (figure 34).
6 . Measure the clearance between the top of the
PINION CLEARANCE
1. Remove the lower flywheel housing cover.
2. Inspect the flywheel for signs of unusual wear such
as chipped or m issing gear teeth or the flywheel
being bent. If the flywheel needs replacing, refer to
“ Engine M echanical” earlier in this manual.
3. Start the engine and gently touch the outside
diameter of the rotating flywheel ring gear with chalk
or crayon to show the high point of tooth runout after
the engine is turned off. Turn the engine off and
rotate the flywheel so that the marked teeth are in
the area of the starter pinion gear.
4. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent
accidental cranking of the engine.
5. Insert a screwdriver in the small hole in the bottom
of the starter (shown by the arrow in figure 33) and
move the starter pinion and clutch assembly so that
pinion tooth and the bottom of the flywheel tooth
using the width of the wire gage (figure 34). Normal
clearance is 0.5 to 1.5 mm (0.02 to 0.06-inch).
7. If the clearance is less than 0.5 mm (0.02-inch) and
the starter whines after firing, shim the starter away
from the flywheel.
• Diesel engine (figure 31):
Add shims as required. Total shim stack must
not exceed 4.0 mm (0.16-inch). If starter shims
are not available, washers made of shim stock
can be used.
• Gas engines (figure 32):
Add 1.0 mm (0.04-inch) shims, one at a time, to
both long bolts between starter m ounting pads
and engine until noise problem is corrected.
Do not use more than 2 shims total.

8 . If the pinion clearance is more than 1.5 mm (0.06
inch) and the starter whines during cranking, shim
the starter towards the flywheel.
• Diesel engine (figure 31):
Add a 1.0 mm (0.04-inch) shim between the
starter motor mounting pad and the engine. If
a starter shim is not available, a washer made
of shim stock can be used.
• Gas engines (figure 32):
Add 0.38 mm (0.015 inch) shims between the
outboard starter mounting pad and engine

but engine cranks
and fires normally.
Distance too great between starter pin
ion and flywheel.
Remove shims at the starter mount.
Refer to “ Starter Motor Noise” .
High-pitched whine
after the engine fires
as key is being

tributes to the intermittent nature of the
problem.
Add shims at the starter mount. Refer
to “ Starter Motor Noise” .
A loud “ whoop” after
the engine fires but
while the starter is
still held engaged.
Sounds like a siren if
the engine is revved
while the starter is
engaged.
U sually due to a worn starter motor
clutch.
Remove the starter motor and check
the clutch. Refer to the Light Duty Truck
Unit Repair Manual.
A “ rumble” “ growl”
or (in severe cases) a
“ knock” as the
starter is coasting
down to a stop after
starting the engine.
Usually due to a bent or unbalanced
starter armature.
Remove the starter motor and check
the armature. Refer to the Light Duty
Truck Unit Repair Manual.
CRANKING SYSTEM ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
MAINTENANCE
Keep starter term inals and all other terminals in the
electrical system clean and tight. A loose or corroded
connection or terminal will cause excessive resistance in
the system which will result in hard starting.
At regular intervals, inspect the starting system to
locate and correct potential causes of trouble before the
system performance is affected.
Starting motors do not require lubrication except during

IGNITION SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
All ignition systems include a battery, a distributor, an
engine control switch, spark plugs, and the prim ary and
secondary wiring. Information on the battery is located
earlier in this section. Refer to CAB ELECTRICAL (SEC.
8 A) for information on the engine control switch.
158
There are two different igintion systems used on these
vehicles. If the vehicle has a carbureted engine, spark is
controlled by the module inside the distributor with an
integral coil. If the vehicle engine is equipped with throttle
body injection (TBI), the ignition system includes a knock
sensor, an electronic spark control module, a computer
(ECM), and a distributor with a separate coil.
DISTRIBUTOR
The distributor with an integral coil combines all ingition
components in one unit (figures 42 and 43). The coii is in
the cap and connects through a resistance brush to the
rotor. On a d istribu to r w ith a separate coil the coil
connects to the rotor through a high tension wire (figure
44).
The d is trib u to r has an inte rn a l m agnetic pick-up
assembly which contains a permanent magnet, a pole
piece with internal teeth and a pick-up coil. When the
teeth of the tim er core, rotating inside the pole piece, line
up with the teeth of the pole piece, an induced voltage in
the pick-up coil signals the electronic module to trigger
the coil primary circuit. The prim ary current decreases
and a high voltage of up to 35,000 volts is induced in the
ignition coil secondary winding. This voltage is directed
through the rotor and secondary leads to fire the spark
plugs. The capacitor in the distributor is for radio noise
suppression.
The magnetic pick-up assembly is mounted over the
main bearing on the distributor housing. On carbureted
engines without computers, the assembly is made to
rotate by the vacuum control unit, thus providing vacuum
a dva nce . T he d is trib u to r sh a ft is m ounted on the
camshaft at the rear of the engine, and rotates at one-half
the rpm of the engine. The force of rotation moves the
advance w eights against the springs, and provides
cetrifugal advance to the tim er core.
ENGINES WITH TBI
On e ng in es w ith TBI, spark tim in g changes are
determined electronically by the ECM (computer), which
m onitors info rm a tio n from va riou s eng in e sensors,
com putes the desired spark tim ing, and signals the
distributor.
The distributor does not contain centrifugal weights,
springs, or a vacuum advance unit.
Each TBI equipped engine also has a knock sensor
mounted in the engine block and connected by a blue
wire to a spark control module (called a “ half-function
box” ) (figure 45). In response to engine knock, a signal is
sent from the sensor to the module and then to the ECM,

which computes how much to retard spark tim ing to
reduce knock. A retard command is then sent to the
distributor.
Information on TBI and the computer controlled ignition
system, system com ponents and th eir locations, and
diagnostic charts are located in the Light Duty Truck Fuel
and Emissions Service Manual.
IGNITION TIMING
Timing specifications for each engine are listed on the
V ehicle E m issions C ontrol Inform ation label on the
radiator support. Always follow Vehicle Emissions Control
Inform ation label procedures when adjusting tim ing.
When using a tim ing light, connect an adapter between
the number 1 spark plug and the num ber 1 spark plug
wire, or use an inductive type pick-up. Do not pierce the
plug lead. Once the insulation of the spark plug cable has
been broken, voltage will jum p to the nearest ground, and
the spark plug will not fire properly.

Normal or average service is assumed to be a m ixture
of idling, slow speed, and high speed operation with some
of each making up the daily total driving. Occasional or
intermittent high-speed driving is essential to good spark
plug performance as it provides increased and sustained
combustion heat that burns away any excess deposits of
carbon or oxide that may have accumulated from frequent
idling or continual stop-and-go or slow-speed driving.
Spark plugs are protected by an insulating nipple made of
special heat-resistant material which covers the spark
plug terminal and extends downward over a portion of the
plug insulator. These nipples prevent flash-over with
resultant missing of engine, even though a film is allowed
to accumulate on exposed portion of plug porcelains.
Do not mistake corona discharge for flash-over or a
shorted insulator. Corona is a steady blue light appearing
SPARK PLUG WIRES
The spark plug wiring is a carbon impregnated cord
conductor encased in an 8 mm diameter rubber jacket.
The silicone spark plug boots form a tight seal on the
plugs. Refer to “ Spark Plug W ires” later in this section for
service precautions.

around the insulator, just above the shell crimp. It is the
visible evidence of a high-tension field, and has no effect
on ignition performance. Usually it can be detected only in
darkness. This discharge may repel dust particles, leaving
a clear ring on the insulator just above the shell. This ring
is som etim es m istakenly regarded as evidence that
combustion gases have blown out between shell and
insulator.
TEST FOR SEPARATELY MOUNTED COIL
1. Disconnect the distributor lead and wiring from the
coil.
2. Connect an ohm meter as shown in figure 48, step 1.
Use the high scale. The reading should be infinite. If
not, replace the coil.
3. Connect the ohm meter as shown in step 2. Use the
low scale. The reading should be very low or zero. If
not, replace the coil.
4. Connect the ohm meter as shown in step 3. Use the
high scale. The meter should not read infinite. If it
does, replace the coil.
5. Reconnect the distributor lead and wiring to the coil.

IGNITION SYSTEM ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
SERVICE PRECAUTIONS
Some service tachometers and electronic diagnostic
equipment may NOT be compatible with these ignition
systems. Consult your representative of such equipment
to update your equipm ent for com patibility with these
systems.
1. When making compression checks, disconnect the
engine control switch feed wire at the distributor.
When disconnecting this connector release the
locking tab while pulling downward on the connector
body; do not use a screwdriver or tool to release the
locking tab as it may break the tab.
2 . No p eriodic lub rica tion is required. Engine oil
lu b rica te s the low er bush in g and an o il-fille d
reservoir provides lubrication for the upper bushing.
NOTICE: the tachom eter terminal must NEVER
be allowed to touch ground, as damage to the
module and/or ignition coil can result.
3. On integral coil distributors, the tachometer (TACH)
terminal is next to the engine control switch (BAT)
connector on the distributor cap. On distributors
with separate coils, the TACH terminal is at the coil
(figure 44).
4. There is no dwell adjustment since this is controlled
by the module.
5. The material used to construct the spark plug wires
is very pliable and soft. This wire will withstand more
heat and carry a higher voltage. Due to the more
pliable wire, scuffing and cutting become easier.
Route the spark plug wires correctly to prevent
chaffing or cutting. When removing a spark plug
wire from a spark plug, twist the boot on the spark
plug and pull on the boot to remove the wire.

SPARK PLUG WIRES
PRECAUTIONS
1. Twist boots 1/2 turn before removing.
2. When removing the boot, do not use pliers or other
tools that could tear the boot.
3. Do not force anything between the wire and the
boot, or through the silicone jacket of the wire.
4. Do not pull on the wires to remove the boot. Pull on
the boot, or use a tool designed for this purpose.
5. Special care should be exercised when installing
spark plug boots to assure that the metal terminal
within the boot is fully seated on the spark plug
terminal and that the boot has not moved on the
wire. If boot to wire movement has occurred, the
boot will give a false visual impression of being fully
seated. A good check to assure that boots have
been properly assembled is to push sideways on the
installed boots. If they have been correctly installed,
a stiff boot with only slight looseness will be noted. If
the terminal has not been properly seated on the
spark plug, only the resistance of the rubber boot
will be felt when pushing sideways.
Wire routings must be kept intact during service, and
followed exactly when wires have been disconnected, or
when replacement of the wires is necessary. Failure to
route the wires properly can lead to radio ignition noise
and crossfiring of the plugs, or shorting of the leads to
ground. For the correct wiring routing for each engine,
refer to figures 53 through 61.
Some d is trib u to rs have s p a rk plug w ire retainer
harness assemblies with the engine firing order marked
on them. If the firing order is not indicated, install the plug
wires according to the firing order as shown in figures 62,
63 and 64. When the wiring is completed, the plug wire
from cylinder number 1 should lead to the distributor
tower at the front and on the same side of the engine as
cylinder num ber 1 . The plug wire from cylinder number 6
(in 6 cylinder engines) or from cylinder num ber 8 (in V 8
engines) should lead to the distributor tower at the front of
the engine next to the number 1 tower.
Be sure to position all plug boots perpendicular to the
centerline of the engine.
On the LE 8 (7.4 L V 8 ) engine, the spark plug harness
assembly and a dielectric paper insulator are fitted to a
shield which is installed over the spark plug (figure 65).
The insulator grounds the shield to the engine block. If
the assembly is removed from the shield, make sure that
th e in s u la to r is p re s e n t and u n d a m a g e d b e fo re
reinstallation.

When it necessary to move any of the wiring, whether
to lift wires away from their harnesses or move harnesses
to reach some component, take care that all wiring is re
placed in its original position and all harnesses routed
correctly. If clips or retainers break, replace them. Electri
cal problems can result from wiring or harnesses becom
ing loose and moving from their original positions or from

G EN ERA L INFORMATION
DRIVEABILITY
The driveability diagnosis procedures apply to various
systems in current GM vehicles. The procedures assume
that the vehicle worked right at one time and the problem
is due to time, wear, dirt or other causes. Start with the
introduction that follows. This will describe a systematic
diagnostic procedure.
Any system disconnected during diagnosis should be
reconnected. This includes wires, hoses, linkage, etc.
When removing air cleaner, plug hose fittings that could
cause an air leak.
EMISSIONS
The exhaust emission control systems used on General
Motors engines perform a specific function to lower
exhaust emissions while maintaining good fuel economy
and driveability.
MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Refer to the General Motors Maintenance Schedule in
Section OB of this Service Manual for the maintenance
service that should be perform ed to retain emission
control performance.
VEHICLE EMISSION CONTROL
INFORMATION LABEL
The Vehicle Emissions Control Information label (Fig. 1)
contains important emission specifications and setting
procedures. In the upper left corner is exhaust emission
information which identifies the year, the manufacturing
division of the engine, the displacem ent in liters of the
engine, the class of vehicle and type of fuel metering.
Also there is an illustrated em ission com ponent and
vacuum hose schematic. This label is located in the
engine compartment of every General Motors Corporation
vehicle. If the label has been removed, it can be ordered
from the parts division. (WDDGM)
VISUAL/PHYSICAL UNDERHOOD
INSPECTION
One of the most important checks that must be done as
p a rt o f a n y d ia g n o s tic p ro c e d u re is a c a re fu l
visual/physical underhood inspection. This can often lead
to fixing a problem without further steps. Inspect all
vacuum hoses for correct routing, pinches, cuts, or
disconnects. Be sure to inspect hoses that are difficult to
see beneath the air cleaner, compressor, generator, etc.
Inspect all the wires in the engine com partm ent for
correct and good connections, burned or chaffed spots,
pinched wires, or contact with sharp edges or hot exhaust
m a n ifo ld s . T h is v is u a l/p h y s ic a l in s p e c tio n is ve ry
important. It must be done carefully and thoroughly.

INTRODUCTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The engine has controls to reduce exhaust emissions
while m aintaining good driveability and fuel economy.
The following emission controls are on all engines:
• Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV)
• Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)
• Therm ostatic Air Cleaner (THERMAC)
• Air Injection Reaction (AIR)
• Early Fuel Evaporation (EFE)
• Evaporative Emission Control (EECS)
• Throttle Return Control (TRC)
• Deceleration Control
Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV)
All engines have closed Positive Crankcase Ventilation
S ystem to p ro v id e m ore co m p le te s c a v e n g in g of
crankcase vapors.
Ventilation air is drawn from the dirty air side of the air
cleaner, through a hose, down into the crankcase, up
through the ventilator valve, through a hose and into the
intake manifold. Intake manifold vacuum draws any fumes
from the crankcase to be burned in the engine.
EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR)
The Exhaust Gas Recirculation system is used on all
engines. It meters exhaust gas into the induction system
for recirculation through the combustion cycle to reduce
oxides of nitrogen emissions. v
The EGR valve rem ains closed during periods of
engine idle and deceleration to prevent rough idle from
excessive exhaust gas d ilu tio n in the idle a ir/fu e l
mixtures. It also remains closed at wide open throttle to
prevent power loss.
Thermostatic Air Cleaner (THERMAC)
The Therm ostatic Air Cleaner is designed to keep air
entering the carburetor at approximately 100°F. Keeping
the air at 100°F, or more, improves engine warm-up
driveability, and will help m inimize carburetor icing.
Air Injection Reaction (AIR)
The Air Injection Reaction system provides additional
oxygen to the exhaust gases to continue the combustion
process.
EARLY FUEL EVAPORATION (EFE)
The EFE system is used to provide a source of rapid
h eat to th e e n g in e in d u c tio n syste m d u rin g co ld
driveaway. Rapid heating is desirable because it provides
fo r q u ic k fu e l e v a p o ra tio n and m ore u n ifo rm fu el
distribution to aid cold driveability.
Evaporative Emission Control
This system has a canister which stores fuel vapor from
the fuel tank and the carburetor. The fuel vapor is
removed from the canister and consumed in the normal
combustion process when the engine is running.
Throttle Return Control (TRC)
The Throttle Return Control system helps to prevent an
over-rich condition on deceleration. The vacuum operated
Throttle Kicker will not allow the throttle to close fully until
the engine speed falls below a specified RPM. By holding
the throttle open slightly, more air is allowed to enter the
engine to maintain a more efficient air/fuel ratio.
Deceleration Control
The deceleration control uses a deceleration valve to
control emissions and back-fire on deceleration. When
deceleration causes a sudden rise in manifold vacuum,
the deceleration valve will open to adm it fresh air to the
inlet manifold. After a calibrated tim e delay, the valve will
c lo s e . T h e s y s te m is m a in ly u s e d w ith m a n u a l
transmission equipped vehicles.

1. Remove the rubber hose at the
exhaust manifold A.I.R. pipe check
valve. Remove check valve.
2. Connect a fuel pump pressure gage
to a hose and nipple from a Propane
Enrichment Device (J26911) (see
illustration).
3. Insert the nipple into the exhaust
manifold A.I.R. pipe.
4. With the engine at normal operating
temperature and running at 2500
rpm, observe the exhaust system
backpressure reading on the gage.
5. If the backpressure exceeds 2 3/4
psi, 19 kPa a restricted exhaust
system is indicated.
6. Inspect the entire exhaust system
for a collapsed pipe, heat distress,
or possible internal muffler failure.
7. If there are no obvious reasons for
the excessive backpressure, a
restricted catalytic converter
should be suspected, and replaced
using current recommended
procedures.

EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM (EECS)
Figure 5—Evaporative Emissions System
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE
The Evaporative Em ission C ontrol System (EECS)
(Figure 5) limits fuel vapor into the atmosphere. The
system traps fuel vapor from the fuel tank and carburetor
float bowl into a fuel vapor canister. The fuel tank has a
non-vented fuel cap and a single vent pipe to the canister.
The canister absorbs and stores the fuel vapor in a
carbon element until it can be removed and burned
during the normal com bustion process. When the engine
is running, a therm ostatic vacuum switch determines
when the fuel vapor is purged into the intake air flow.
OPERATION (Figure 5)
This system uses the following control valves:
• Purge control valve mounted on the canister.
• Vapor vent valve mounted on the canister.
• A therm al bowl vent valve (some applications).
• A therm ostatic vacuum switch (TVS) installed in the
in ta k e m a n ifo ld to s e n s e e n g in e c o o la n t
temperature.
When the engine is shut off, manifold vacuum is lost at
the vapor vent valve. The spring loaded valve in the vapor
vent valve now connects the carburetor bowl vent to the
canister. Carburetor float cham ber vapors now pass into
the canister for storage. When the engine is restarted,
manifold vacuum draws the vapor vent controlling valve
against spring pressure, closing off the bowl vent. Ported
vacuum from the carburetor is connected to the TVS.
When the TVS opens, ported vacuum opens the purge
control valve. When the valve opens, manifold vacuum
draws vapors from the canister into the intake manifold.
The therm al bowl vent valve (TBVV) is located in the
section of hose that connects the carburetor bowl vent
fitting to the canister control valve.
The TBVV will close and prevent vapor movement at
3 2 °C (90°F) and below. The TBVV will open at 49°C
(120°F) to permit vapor flow to the canister control valve.
FUEL VAPOR CANISTER, PRIMARY (Figure 6)
The basic large size, two cham ber closed bottom
canister is used on all systems and operates as follows:
Gasoline vapors from the fuel tank flow into the tube
labeled “ Fuel Tank,” and vapors from the carburetor float
bowl flow into the tube labeled “ CARB BO W L,” and are
absorbed by the carbon. The canister is purged when the
engine is running above idle speed. The closed bottom
design keeps water from entering the bottom of the
canister, freezing, and restricting purge air flow. During
purge, air is drawn from the clean side of the air cleaner,
to the tube on the canister labeled “ AIR C LN R ,” through
the carbon and into the intake manifold to be burned.
Some closed bottom canisters draw purge air directly
from the atmosphere.

CANISTER PURGE CONTROL VALVE (Figure 6)
The Canister Purge Control Valve is a spring-biased
d ia p h ra g m valve, norm a lly close d, w hich allow s or
prevents purging of the canister. When the engine is off or
idling, the spring holds the valve closed, preventing
canister purge. When the engine is off-idle, however,
tim ed manifold vacuum pulls the diaphgram upward,
opening the valve and allowing the canister to be purged.
DIAGNOSIS OF EECS
SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
• Poor idle, stalling and poor driveability can be
caused by:
• Inoperative vapor vent valve.
• Inoperative purge control valve.
• Damaged canister.
• Hoses split, cracked and, or, not connected to
the proper tubes.
VAPOR VENT CONTROL VALVE (Figure 6)
The vapor vent control valve prevents venting of the
c a rb u re to r flo a t bow l d u rin g e n g in e o p e ra tio n . A
spring-biased diaphragm valve, normally open, allows (or
prevents) fuel vapors from the float bowl to enter the
canister. When the engine is off, spring tension holds the
valve open, allowing normal venting.
W hen the engine is turned on, however, m anifold
vacuum pulls the diaphragm up to close the valve.
FUEL VAPOR CANISTER, AUXILIARY (Figure 7)
An Auxiliary Fuel Vapor Canister is added to a primary
closed bottom canister to increase capacity when a dual
(aux.) fuel tank is used. On the bottom is a hose which
connects to the primary canister’s purge air inlet. On top
is a purge air inlet. Vapor overflowing from the primary
canister is stored in the auxiliary canister. During purge,
vapor flows through the auxiliary canister, the primary
canister and into the intake manifold for burning during
combustion.

• Evidence of fuel loss or fuel vapor odor can be
caused by:
• Liquid fuel leaking from fuel lines, fuel pump
or carburetor.
• Cracked or damaged canister.
• Inoperative bowl vapor vent valve.
• Inoperative purge control valve.
• Disconnected, misrouted, kinked, deteriorated
or damaged vapor hoses, or control hoses.
• Bowl vent hose misrouted.
• Air cleaner or air cleaner gasket inproperly

FUEL VAPOR CANISTER
V is u a lly ch e ck c a n is te r and rep la ce if cracke d,
damaged or saturated with fuel. Apply a short length of
hose to the carburetor bowl vapor tube of the canister
(lower tube), and blow into it, to determine that air will
pass the vapor vent valve into the canister. If not possible
to blow into the canister, it must be replaced.
VAPOR VENT CONTROL VALVE
Functional Test
Apply a short length of hose to the carburetor bowl
vapor tube of the canister (lower tube), and blow into it to
determine that air will pass the vapor vent valve into the
canister. If not possible to blow into the canister, it must be
replaced.
With a hand vacuum pump, apply vacuum 51 kPa (15"
Hg) to the vacuum sign al tube on the d iaphragm
assembly cover. The diaphragm should hold vacuum for
at least 20 seconds. If it does not, diaphragm is leaking,
and the canister must be replaced.
With vacuum still applied to the vacuum signal tube,
again attempt to blow into the carburetor bowl vapor tube
of the canister. Now air should not pass the vapor vent
valve into the canister, indicating that the valve is sealing
properly. If air does enter the canister past the vapor vent
valve, the valve is not functioning properly, and the
canister must be replaced.
PURGE CONTROL VALVE
Functional Test
Apply a short length of hose to the PCV tube of purge
valve assembly (lower tube), and attempt to blow through
it. Little or no air should pass into the canister. (A small
amount of air will pass if the canister has a constant
purge hole.)
With a hand vacuum pump, apply vacuum 51 kPa (15"
Hg) through the control vacuum signal tube to the purge
valve diaphragm. If the diaphragm does not hold vacuum
for at least 2 0 seconds, the diaphragm is leaking, and the
canister must be replaced.
If the diaphgram holds vacuum, again try to blow
through the hose connected to the PCV tube while
vacuum is still being applied. An increased flow of air
should be observed. If not, the canister must be replaced.
THERMOSTATIC VACUUM SWITCH (TVS)
REPLACEMENT
Thermal vacuum switches opens, closes, or switches
vacuum source w hen the ca lib ra tion tem perature is
reached. The following general checking procedures can
be used for all therm al vacuum switches. Refer to number
stam ped on base of valve or sw itch for calibration
temperature.
1. Allow TVS to cool below calibration temperature.
2. Inspect switch to make sure it is in good condition.
3. Connect hand vacuum pump(s) to output port(s) of
the TVS. (See vacuum hose schematic on Vehicle
Control Emission Information label.)
4. Apply 51 kPa (15" Hg) vacuum.
5. Heat TVS to a temperature above the calibration
temperature. Never apply a torch or open flame
directly to the TVS.
6 . C om pare vacuum
gage reading to the correct
reading indicated on switch or valve base.
NOTICE: Leakage of up to 7 kPa (2" Hg)
vacuum in 2 minutes is allowable and does not
mean a defective part.
7. If operation is satisfactory, reinstall valve or switch. If
valve or switch is defective, replace with a new part.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE — EECS
SYSTEM HOSES
Refer to Vehicle Emission Control Information label for
routing of system hoses.
When replacing hoses, use hose identified with the
word “ Fluoroelastromer.”
VAPOR PIPE
The vapor pipe is secured to the underbody with clamp
and screw assemblies. Flexible hoses are connected at
the fuel tank and the fuel vapor canister. The pipe should
be inspected occasionally for leaks, kinks or dents and
repaired as required.
Repair
Repair vapor pipe in sections using brazed seamless
steel tu bin g m eeting GM S p ecifica tion 123M or its
e q u iv a le n t o r h o s e id e n tifie d w ith th e w o rd
“ Fluoroelastomer.” Hose not so marked could cause early
failure or failure to meet emission standard.
• Do not use copper or alum inum tubing to replace
s te e l tu b in g . T h o s e m a te r ia ls do n o t have
satisfactory durability to withstand normal vehicle
vibrations.
• Do not use rubber hose within 4 inches (100 mm) of
any part of the exhaust system or within 10 inches
(254 mm) of the catalytic converter. Hose inside
diameter must match steel tubing outside diameter.
1. In repairable areas, cut a piece of fuel hose 4 inches
(100 mm) longer than portion of the line removed. If
more than a 6 -inch (152 mm) length of pipe is
removed, use a com bination of steel tubing and
hose so that hose lengths will not be more than 10
inches (254 mm). Follow the same routing as the
original pipe.
2 . Cut ends of pipe rem aining on vehicle square with a
tube cutter. Using the first step of a double flaring
tool, form a bead on the end of both pipe sections. If
pipe is too corroded to withstand bead operation
DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS — CARBURETED 6E8-19
without damage, the pipe should be replaced. If a
new section of pipe is used, form a bead on both
ends of it also.
3. Use screw type hose clamp, Part Number 2494772,
or equivalent. Slide clam ps onto pipe and push
hose 2 inches (51 mm) onto each portion of fuel
pipe. Tighten clamps on each side of repair.
4. Pipes must be properly secured to the frame to
prevent chafing.

AIR INJECTION REACTION (AIR) SYSTEM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The heavy duty emission engines with vehicle weight
over 8500 GVW have an AIR System with increased air
flow. The system is used to reduce carbon monoxide
(CO), and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions. The air injection
reaction (AIR) system provides a dditional oxygen to
continue the combustion process after the exhaust gases
leave the combustion chamber. The system diverts air
from the exhaust manifold at increased engine speed or
when an electrical malfunction is detected in the system.
The system used on a 4.8 L engine consists of an air
pump, air filter, air control valve, check valve, silencer, air
tem perature sw itch, control m odule, and necessary
plumbing.
AIR CONTROL VALVE (HFEAC) (Figure 8)
This valve is a high flow electric air control (HFEAC)
valve that has an electric solenoid to combine electronic
control with normal diverter valve function.
With ignition “ O N ,” the solenoid is energized through
the control m odule and the air control valve operates like
a s ta n d a rd iz e d d iv e rte r va lve . W ith th e s o le n o id
energized, air is directed to the exhaust manifold. During
an engine decel, when there is a rise in the manifold
vacuum signal, air is directed to the air cleaner or silencer
even though the solenoid is energized. The solenoid is
de-energized when there is high engine speed over a
prolonged period or a m alfunction of the electrical circuit.
“ SERVICE ENGINE SOON” LIGHT
• The air pump(s) is belt driven on the front of the
engine and supplies the air to the system.
If there is a malfunction in the control module, wiring
harness or solenoid(s), an amber “ SERVICE ENGINE
SOON” light will illuminate on the instrument panel. The
“ SERVICE ENGINE SO O N ” light is “ O N ” w ith the
ignition key “ O N ” and the engine not running as a bulb
check (except 7.4 L). When the engine is started, the light
will remain on for three to six seconds and then turn off.
On a 7.4 L system, with ignition “ O N ” and the engine not
running, the “ SERVICE ENGINE SO ON” light will come
“ O N ” and stay “ O N ” for 1 -2 seconds and then go “ O FF”
as a bulb check.
• Intake air passes through an external air filter to the
air pump(s).
DECELERATION CONTROL (Figure 9)
The system used on a 5.7 L or 7.4 L engine consists of
two AIR pumps, an air filter, two air control valves, two
check valves, a control module and necessary plumbing.
The 7.4 L engine also uses a control relay to operate the
“ SERVICE ENGINE SOON” light.
AIR OPERATION
• Air flow from the pump(s) passes through a control
valve(s) and an AIR pipe(s) and into the exhaust
manifold.
• The check valve prevents back flow of exhaust into
the pump in the event of an exhaust backfire or
pump drive belt failure.
To help p re v e n t b a c k firin g d u rin g h ig h va cu u m
conditions a deceleration (gulp) valve is used with these
AIR systems. The high vacuum draws the deceleration
valve diaphragm down and opens the valve allowing air
from the air cleaner to flow into the intake manifold. This
air enters the air/fuel mixture to lean the rich condition
created by high vacuum when the throttle valve closes on
deceleration.
6E8-20 DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS — CARBURETED
The vacuum draws the deceleration valve diaphragm
down and opens the valve allowing air from the air
cleaner to flow into the intake manifold.
DIAGNOSIS OF AIR
AIR SYSTEM
NOTICE: If the e n g in e o r u n d e r hood
compartment is to be cleaned with steam or
high-pressure detergent, the intake air filter
should be masked off to prevent liquids from
entering the pump.

The AIR System is not completely noiseless. Under
normal conditions, noise rises in pitch as engine speed
increases. To determ ine if excessive noise is the fault of
the Air Injection Reactor System, operate the engine with
the pump drive belt removed. If excessive noise does not
exist with the belt removed, check for the following:
• A seized air pump.
• Im proper m ounting and bolt torque of pump.
• Im proper routing and connections of hoses.
CAUTION: Do not oil air pump.
• Replace pump if none of the above conditions exist.
“ SERVICE ENGINE SOON” LIGHT
If the “ SERVICE ENGINE SO O N ” light is on with the
engine running, refer to the proper C- 6 HD Chart for
diagnosis.
AIR PUMP
The air pum p is permanently lubricated and requires no
periodic maintenance.
Accelerate engine and observe air flow from hose(s). If
air flow increases as engine is accelerated, pump is
operating satisfactorily. If air flow does not increase or is
not present, proceed as follows:

Inspect
1. For proper drive belt tension.
2. For a leaky pressure relief valve. Air may be heard
leaking with the pump running.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
source, the EGR pintle is closed and there is no exhaust
gas recirculation. When the throttle valves are opened,
vacuum is applied through the exposed vacuum signal
port(s) to the vacuum diaphragm in the EGR valve
through a connection tube. W hen the vacuum reaches a
pre-determ ined level, the diaphragm moves upward
against calibrated spring tension, pulling the pintle with it.
The pintle rises off the seat, allowing exhaust gas to flow
from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold and into
the engine cylinders.
PURPOSE
The EGR system is used to lower NOx (oxides of
nitrogen) emission levels caused by high combustion
temperatures. It does this by decreasing com bustion
temperature.
The EGR system has a ported EGR valve (figure 21),
hose from a ported m anifold vacuum source and a
method to control the vacuum source.
A coolant tem perature TVS is used to control the
vacuum source.
OPERATION
The therm ostatic vacuum switch (TVS) blocks vacuum
to the EGR valve during cold engine operation (figure 22).
When the engine is warm, the TVS opens, which opens
the vacuum source to the EGR valve. At idle or wide-open
throttle, there is little or no vacuum from the vacuum

causing the engine to run roughly or stop. With too much
EGR flow at idle, cruise, or cold operation, any of the
following conditions may happen:
• Engine stops after cold start.
• Engine stops at idle after deceleration.
• Vehicle surges during cruise.
• Rough idle.
If the EGR valve should stay open all of the time, the
engine may not idle.
Too little o r no EGR flo w a llo w s c o m b u s tio n
temperatures to get too high during acceleration and load
conditions. This could cause:
• Spark knock (detonation).
• Engine overheating.
• Emission test failure.

• Choke may heat up and be off before engine is
warm.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
EFE stays on:
• Poor performance.
PURPOSE
The EFE system used on all engines provides a source
of rapid heat to the engine induction system during cold
driveaway. Rapid heating is desirable because it provides
quick fuel evaporation and more uniform fuel distribution
to aid cold driveability. It also reduces the length of time
carburetor choking is required, so it reduces exhaust
emissions.
• Lack of power when warm due to superheated
gases.
• Engine may overheat.
DIAGNOSIS OF EFE
GENERAL
OPERATION
The EFE system is a Vacuum Servo type that uses a
valve and vacuum actuator which increases the exhaust
gas flow under the intake manifold during cold engine
operation. The valve is located in the exhaust and the
vacuum actuator is vacuum operated (figure 26) by a

POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION (PCV)
Figure 31—PCV Valve Cross Section
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE
A Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system is used
to provide more com plete scavenging of crankcase
vapors.
OPERATION
Fresh air from the air clea ne r is supplied to the
crankcase, mixed with blow-by gases and then passed
through a positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve into
the intake manifold (figure 32). The prim ary control is
through the PCV valve (figure 31) which meters the flow at
a rate depending on manifold vacuum.
To maintain idle quality, the PCV valve restricts the flow
w hen intake m anifold vacuum is h ig h. If abnorm al
operating conditions arise, the system is designed to
allow excessive amounts of blow-by gases to back flow
through the crankcase vent tube into the air cleaner to be
consumed by normal combustion.
Results of Incorrect PCV Operation
• A plugged valve or hose may cause:
• Rough idle.
• Stalling or slow idle speed.
• Oil leaks.
• Oil in air cleaner.
• Sludge in engine.
• A leaking valve or hose would cause:
• Rough idle.
• Stalling.
DIAGNOSIS OF PCV
If an engine is idling rough, check for a clogged PCV
valve or plugged hose. Replace as required. Use the
following procedure:
1. Remove PCV valve from rocker arm cover.
2. Run the engine at idle.
3. Place your thum b over end of valve to check for
vacuum. If there is no vacuum at valve, check for
plugged hoses or m anifold port, or PCV valve.
Replace plugged or deteriorated hoses.
Figure 32—PCV Flow
4. Turn off the engine and remove PCV valve. Shake
valve and listen for the rattle of check needle inside
the valve. If valve does not rattle, replace valve.
With this system, any blow-by in excess of the system
capacity (from a badly-worn engine, sustained heavy load,
etc.) is exhausted into the air cleaner and is drawn into the
engine.
Proper operation of the PCV System (figure 33) is
dependent upon a sealed engine. If oil sludging or
dilution is noted, and the PCV System is functioning
properly, check engine for possible cause and correct to
insure that system will function as intended.
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE — PCV
See fig u re 33 fo r re p la c e m e n t o f PC V s y s te m

intervals shown in Section OB.
Periodically, inspect the hoses and clam ps and replace
any showing signs of deterioration.

THERMOSTATIC AIR CLEANER (THERMAC)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PURPOSE
A heated intake air system is used to give good
driveability under varying clim atic conditions. By having a
uniform inle t te m p era ture , the fuel system can be
calibrated to reduce exhaust emissions and to eliminate
throttle blade icing.
OPERATION
The THERMAC air cleaner operates by heated air and
manifold vacuum (figure 34). Air can enter the air cleaner
from outside the engine com partm ent or from a heat stove
built around the exhaust manifold. A vacuum diaphragm
motor, built into the air cleaner snorkel, moves a damper
door, to adm it hot air from the exhaust manifold, outside
air, or a combination of both. Inside the air cleaner is a
temperature sensor that reacts to air intake temperature
and controls the amount of vacuum going to the motor.
• Hot Air Delivery Mode. When the temperature is
below 8 6 °F (30°C), the sensor allows vacuum to the
motor and the dam per door will be up, shuting off
outside air and allowing only heated air from the
exhaust manifold to enter the air cleaner.
• Regulating Mode. Between 8 6 °F (30°C) and 131 °F
(55°C) the dam per door allows both heated and
outside air to enter the air cleaner.
• Outside Air Delivery Mode. W hen the temperature is
above 131 °F (55°C), the dam per door drops down
and only outside air enters the air cleaner.
THERMAC DELAY VALVE
Some applications use a delay valve on the hose
connecting the vacuum motor to the temperature sensor
(figure 35). When vacuum in this hose drops for any
reason, the check valve will bleed off the vacuum to the
vacuum motor slowly.
Results of Incorrect THERMAC Operation
• Hesitation during warm-up can be caused by:
• Heat stove tube disconnected.
• Vacuum diaphragm motor inoperative (open to
snorkel).
• No manifold vacuum.
• Damper door does not move.
• Missing air cleaner to carburetor seal.
• Missing air cleaner cover seal or loose cover.
• Loose air cleaner.
• Lack of power, sluggish or spongy, on a hot engine
can be caused by:
• Damper door does not open to outside air.
• Temperature sensor doesn’t bleed off vacuum.

STATOR ASSEMBLY FREEWHEELS
STATOR ASSEMBLY REMAINS LOCKED UP
If the stator roller clutch becomes ineffective, the stator
assembly freewheels at all times in both directions. With
this condition, the vehicle tends to have poor acceleration
from a standstill. At speeds above 48 to 56 km/h (30-35
mph), the vehicle may act normal. If poor acceleration
problems are noted, it should first be determined that the
exhaust system is not blocked, the engine is running
properly and the transm ission is in first (1st) gear when
starting out.
If the engine will free acclerate to high rpm in Neutral
(N), it can be assumed that the engine and exhaust
system are normal.
If the stator assembly remains locked up at all times,
the engine rpm and vehicle speed will tend to be limited
or restricted at high speeds. The vehicle performance
when accelerating from a standstill will be normal. Engine
overheating may be noted. Visual examination of the
converter may reveal a blue color from the overheating
that will result.

Line pressure is basically controlled by pump o u tp u t and the pressure regulator valve. In addition, line pressure
is boosted in Reverse, Second and Lo by the reverse boost valve.
A lso , in the Neutral, Drive, Interm ediate and Reverse positions o f the selector lever, the line pressure should increase
w ith th ro ttle opening because of the T V system . The pressure is controlled by the T V cable, the th ro ttle lever and
bracket assem bly and the T V link, as w ell as the control valve assem bly.
The main line pressure tap plug is located on the le ft side of the transm ission above the outside manual lever.

ROAD TEST
• Performthe road test following the sequence given.
• KPH (MPH) shift points will vary with actual throttle
position and driver habits.
• Compare the results of the test with speed shift chart
information. Use these results with the diagnosis
information to evaluate the transmission (figure 37).
• This test should only be performed when traffic and
road conditions permit.
• Observe all traffic safety regulations.
GARAGE SHIFT CHECK
1. Start engine.
2. Depress brake pedal.
3. Move gear selector:
— “Park” (P) to “Reverse” (R).
— “Reverse” (R) to “Neutral” (N) to “Drive” (D).
Gear selections should be immediate and not
harsh.

With gear selector in “Overdrive” (D).
1. Accelerate using a steady increasing throttle pressure.
2. Note the shift speed point gear engagements for:
— 2nd gear.
— 3rd gear.
— Overdrive.
3. Note the speed shift point to TCC apply. This should
occur while inthird gear or overdrive. If the apply is not
noticed, refer to the Preliminary Torque Converter
Clutch Diagnosis information contained in this section
of the Service Manual.

ON VEHICLE SERVICE
PARTS CLEANING, INSPECTION
AND REPLACEMENT
1. Use appropriate safety equipment such as:
• Safety glasses.
• Safety shoes.
• Gloves.
2. Keep work area and tools clean.
3. Clean the transmission exterior before removing parts.
4. Do not use wipe cloths or rags.
5. Do not use solvents on:
• Rubber seals.
• Plastic/Teflon® thrust washers.
6. Blow out all passages with compressed air.
7. Clean out small passages with fine wire.
8. Handle parts carefully to prevent damage.
9. Lubricate all internal parts with transmission fluid
during assembly.
10. When installing screws, bolts or studs into aluminum
always dip the threads in transmission fluid.
11. Always use a torque wrench for proper torque.
12. Recondition damaged or stripped aluminum threads
with thread inserts.
13. Replace all gaskets and seals.
• Do not use gasket cement or sealers.
14. Replace Teflon® and rubber lip seals only when
necessary and install them using the appropriate seal
protector.
Inspect
Manual linkage for:
• Wear at pivoting points.
• Bent or broken links and rods.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION 7A-63
2. All seals, gasket and mating surfaces for:
• Nicks.
• Cuts.
• Damage.
3. Snap rings for:
• Expansion or compression.
• Distortion.
• Nicks.
• Proper ring to groove fit.
4. Bearings and thrust surfaces for:
• Wear.
• Scoring.
• Pitting.
OIL COOLER LINES
If replacement of transm ission steel tubing cooler lines
is required, use only double wrapped and brazed steel
tubing meeting GM specification 123M or equivalent.
Under no condition use copper or aluminum tubing to
rep la ce steel tu b in g . Those m ate ria ls do not have
satisfactory fatigue durability to withstand normal vehicle
vibrations. Steel tubing should be flared using the double
flare method.
COOLER LINE FLUSHING
In a major transmission failure, where particles of metal
have been carried with the oil throughout the units of the
transmission, it will be necessary to flush out the oil
cooler and connecting lines. To flush the oil cooler and
lines, use the following procedure:
1. Disconnect both cooler lines from the transmission.
2. Place a hose over the end of the cooler inlet line (from
the bottom of the cooler) and insert the hose into an
empty container.
3. Flush clean oleum solvent or equivalent through the
return line (from the top of the cooler) using an oil
suction gun until clean solvent comes out of the hose.
This will “ back flush” the cooler.
4. Remove the hose from the inlet cooler line and place it
on the return line.
5. Flush clean oleum solvent or equivalent through the
inlet line until clean solvent comes out the return line.
R em ove re m a in in g s o lv e n t from c o o le r w ith
compressed air applied to the return line and flush with
transmission fluid.
6. Reconnect oil cooler lines and torque nuts to 17 N m
(12 ft. lbs.).
CHECKING AND ADDING FLUID
The automatic transmission is designed to operate at
the "F U LL HOT” mark on the dipstick at normal operating
temperatures of 8 8 °C -9 3 °C (190°F -200°F ), and should
be checked under these conditions (figure 61).
The normal operating temperature is obtained only
after at least 24 km (15 miles) of highway type driving.
If the vehicle has recently been operated for an
extended period at high speed or in city traffic in hot
weather or the vehicle is being used to pull a trailer, an
accurate fluid level cannot be determined until the fluid
has cooled down, usually about 30 minutes after the
vehicle has been parked.
%$&&&i
A. O p e ra tin g Level
F-02670
Figure 61—Transmission Dipstick
Inspect
1. Park vehicle on level ground.
2. Apply parking brake and block wheels.
3. Start engine and operate vehicle for 15 minutes or until
a normal operating temperature is reached.
4. Move gear selector through all gear positions.
5. Move gear selector to “ Park” (P).
6. Check fluid level, color and condition. Refer to
“ Transmission Fluid Information” in this section.
Important
DO NOT OVERFILL.
Overfilling can cause foaming and loss of fluid through
the vent. Slippage and transm ission failure can result.
Fluid level too low can cause slipping, particularly,
when the transm ission is cold or the vehicle is on a hill.

TV CABLE
The TV Cable used with the THM 700-R4 transmission
should not be thought of as an automatic downshift cable.
The TV cable used on the THM 700-R4 controls line
pressure, shift points, shift feel, part throttle downshifts
and detent downshifts. The function of the cable is sim ilar
to the combined functions of a vacuum modulator and a
detent cable.
The TV cable operated the TV link (144) and bracket in
the transmission (figure 64).
The TV b ra cke t a s s e m b ly se rve s tw o (2) b a s ic
functions:
1. The primary function of this assembly is to transfer the
carburetor throttle plate movement to the TV plunger in
the control valve assembly as related by the TV cable
and linkage. This causes TV pressure and line
pressure to increase according to engine throttle
opening and also controls part throttle and detent
downshifts. The proper adjustment of the TV cable is
based on the TV plunger being fully depressed to flush
with the TV bushing at engine wide open throttle.
2. The second function of the assembly involves a TV
exhaust ball. The function of this system is to prevent
the transmission from operating at low (idle position)
pressures, if the TV cable should become broken or
disconnected. If the cable is not connected or broken,
the TV lifter rod will not move from its normal spring
loaded up position which holds the TV exhaust check
ball off its seat. The TV lifter rod will drop down to allow
the TV exhaust ball to seat only if the cable if broken,
disconnected or extremely out of adjustment. With the
transmission pan removed, it should be possible to pull
down on the TV exhaust valve lifter rod and the springs
should return the rod to its normal up position. If the
throttle lever and bracket assembly or lifter rod binds or
sticks so that the TV lifter rod cannot lift the exhaust
ball off its seat, high line pressures and delayed shifts
will result.
5. Cable (142) through the engine bracket and engage
locking tangs (B) of the cable on the bracket.
Im portant
• Avoid damaging or kinking the cable.
6. Cable terminal (255) to the throttle lever (140).
• Pull on upper end of cable. It should travel a
short distance with light resistance caused by
the small return spring on the TV lever. When
releasing the upper end of the TV cable, it
should return to the zero TV position.
7. Adjust the TV cable. Refer to “ TV Cable Adjustment”
in this section.
TV CABLE ADJUSTMENT
Adjustm ent of the TV cable must be made by rotating
the throttle lever at the carburetor or throttle body. Do not
use the accelerator pedal to rotate the throttle lever.
A djust (Figure 64)
1. Stop the engine.
2. Depress and hold down the metal re-adjust tab (250) at
the engine end of the TV cable (142).
3. Move the slider (251) until it stops against the fitting.
4. Release the readjustment tab (250).
5. Rotate the throttle lever (140) to its “ full travel
position.”
6. The slider (251) must move (ratchet) toward the lever
when the lever is rotated to its “ full travel position.”
• Check that cable moves freely. The cable may
appear to function properly with the engine
stopped and cold. Recheck after the engine is
hot.
7. Road test the vehicle.

closes the contacts. So the circuit breaker opens and
closes until the excess current condition is corrected or
the circuit is disconnected from the power supply.
The remote reset circuit breaker has a heating wire
wound around the bimetallic strip. When an excess
current happens, the strip heats, bends, and opens the
contacts. Then a small current flows through the heat
wire, keeping the strip hot and the contacts open. This
type of breaker will stay open until either the power supply
is disconnected from the circuit or the breaker is removed
from the circuit. Then the breaker can cool and reset.
CIRCUIT CONTROLLERS
Figure 2—C ircuit Components
the circuit controller the circuit goes into the circuit load.
The circuit load can be one light or many lights in parallel,
an electric motor or a solenoid. After the electricity has
passed through the load it must return to the power
supply via the ground path. The ground path can be a
wire in the harness or it could be through the load
housing into the body or frame, thus returning the
electricity to the power supply. The body and frame are
connected by flexible ground straps.
FUSIBLE LINK
A fusible link is a section of wire that is usually four
gage sizes smaller than the circuit it protects. A special
insulation is used that swells when heated by the wire.
Fusible links are usually found in the engine compartment
harnesses. The function of the fusible link is to melt open
when an overload occurs, thus preventing any damage to
the circuit.
FUSES
The most common protector in the vehicle circuit is a
fuse. A fuse consists of a fine wire or strip of metal inside
a glass tube or plastic housing. The strip melts and
interrupts the flow of current in the circuit when there is an
overload caused by an unwanted short or ground. The
fuse is designed to melt before the wiring or electrical
components in a circuit can be damaged. Naturally, the
cause must be located and corrected before the fuse is
replaced or the new fuse will also blow.
Since different circuits handle different amounts of
current, fuses of various ratings are used. Fuses are rated
in amperes. Be sure to replace a blown fuse with a fuse of
the connecting rating.
CIRCUIT BREAKERS
Circuit breakers are another form of circuit protector.
There are two types of circuit breakers; automatic reset
and remote reset.
The automatic reset breaker opens when excess
current heats a bimetallic strip, causing the strip to bend
and open a set of contacts. Then the strip cools and
C ircuit controllers consist of switches or relays.
Switches are usually operated by a mechanical means
such as a hand or lever. Switches are usually at the
beginning of a circuit but can be used to control a ground
path. For example, the switch controlling the headlights is
at the power end of the circuit while the door switch
controlling the domelight completes the ground path.
Relays are remotely controlled switches. They are used
in high current circuits and in circuits controlled by
sensors.
Relays are designed so that a small current circuit will
be able to control a large current circuit.
WIRING HARNESS AND WIRES
Every wire is a specific size with colored or striped
insulation that is indicated on the wiring diagrams.
Insulation colors help to trace circuits and to make proper
connections. A bbreviations and sym bols used for
indicating wire insulation colors and patterns are as

Some wires are grouped and taped together or
encased in a split plastic casing. This grouping of wires is
called a harness. For some purposes, it is more practical
to use a single wire protected by a braided tubing called a
loom.
Wiring harnesses are joined by using a multiple plug
and receptacle connector block, or a terminal post
chassis junction block. In the instrument panel area
plastic insulated blade-type connectors and screw-type
terminals are used.
Each harness or wire must be held securely in place by
clips or other holding devices to prevent chafing of the
insulation.
WIRE SIZE
Wire size in a circuit is determined by the amount of
current, the length of the circuit and the voltage drop
allowed. Wire size is specified using the metric gage. The
metric gage describes the wire size directly in cross
section area measured in square millimeters.

NOTICE: The following instruments: Ammeter,
Voltmeter, and Ohmmeter, each have a
particular application for trouble shooting
electrical circuits.
Whenusinganammeteror voltmeter, andthe
value being tested is unknown, always use the
highest scale first and work downward to a
midscale reading whenever possible. This will
avoiddamageto theinstrument.
Never useanohmmeter in apower circuit, or
as asubstitute for a voltmeter or ammeter, as
damageto theinstrument will result.

This circuit starts at the fuse block and routes to the
body harness connector. The standard harness is then
routed up the left front door hinge frame and back along
the left roof halo panel. The harness branches at the first
and third roof frames, with connectors located next to the
left roof halo panel. The harnesses then go to the roof
lamps and term inate in bulb clips. The standard harness
also branches off to the door switches.
The optional harness is routed from the body harness
connector to a control switch on the instrument panel.
The harness then goes from the switch to the left front
door hinge frame, up the frame, and back along the left
roof halo panel.
When the harness reaches the first roof frame, it goes
into a connector. There are two branches coming out of
the connector. One branch goes to the center lamp
assembly in the roof. This branch, after connecting to the
center lamp assembly, continues on to the right side of
the roof, where it goes into a connector. From this
connector, one lead goes to the side door grounding
switch. The other leads are routed down the right front
door lock frame to the stepwell lamp assembly.
The o the r b ranch, co m ing out of the roof fram e
connector, goes back along the left roof halo panel,
across the rear halo panel and terminates at the rear door

POWER DOOR LOCK SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
Individual motors operate each door lock. The direction
the motor turns depends on the polarity of the supply
voltage. The door lock switches control the supply voltage
polarity. Each switch will lock all the doors.
Each motor has a self-resetting circuit breaker built in.
Voltage is present at the door lock switches at all times.
Voltage is also present on the open contacts of the door
lock relay at all times.
When a door switch is moved to “ Lock,” current flows
through the switch and lock relay coil to ground. The relay
closes, causing current to flow through the lock relay
contacts, door lock motor, the unlock relay contacts, and
then to ground.
When a door lock switch is moved to “ U nlock,” current
flows through the switch, the unlock relay contacts, the
door lock motor, the lock relay contacts, and to ground.
This causes the lock motor to unlock the door.
For RV models, the door lock relay is located on, the
dash panel, above the steering column. For G van models
the door lock relay is located on front left door hinge pillar.

1. No power at lock motor.
2. Open ground circuit between the motor
and the relay.
None of the Door
Locks Function; All
Switches Tried.
1. No power.
2. Relay not working.
CORRECTION
1. Check for voltage at the lock motor. If
no voltage at lock motor, check for volt
age at the connector which is located at
the front door hinge pillar. If there is no
voltage at the connector, check for an
open between the connector and the
door lock relay.
2. Move a door switch to “ Lock.” Backprobe the TAN wire at the motor. If there
is voltage, find the open between the
motor and the relay.
1. C heck for power at the fuse block
(ORN/BLK). Check for power at the
door lock relay (ORN/BLK). If power is
p re s e n t at the fu s e b lo c k b u t not
present at the relay, find the open in the
harness.
2. Hold a switch to “ Lock.” Backprobe the
LT BLU wire at the relay. If there is no
voltage, find the open in the harness. If
there is voltage, check the relay case to
ground path. If the ground is OK, check
the relay coil for conduction. If the relay
coil is OK, check for voltage on the TAN
wire. If there is no voltage, replace the
relay. If there is voltage, find the open
in the harness.

switch controls only the w indow at that passenger’s
position.
The motors have a self resetting circuit breaker built in.
The circuit breaker allows the motor to be stalled without
damage. There are no travel-limit switches.
When a window switch is moved to “ UP,” current flows
through the circuit breaker, the window switch, the DK
BLU wire, the motor, the circuit breaker, the BRN wire, the
“ DN” contacts in the switch, and into the BLK wire which
goes to ground.

WINDSHIELD WIPER—RV AND G MODELS
DESCRIPTION
A permanent magnet type wiper is used on RV and G
Series. The motor parts-field magnets, armature, drive
gear etc. are enclosed in a two piece sheet metal housing.
For purposes of explanation the housing halves are
referred to as u pp er and low er housings. The two
housings are attached to each other by ten extrusions
which are staked over. '
The wiper motor is protected by an automatic reset type
c irc u it breaker located on the m otor brush holder
assembly. A fuse located in the fuse block protects the
vehicle wiring.
The wiper motor can be operated only when the ignition
switch is in the “ run” or “ accessory” position.
The wiper motor has three brushes; the “ com m on,” the
low speed, and the high speed. When the ignition switch
is “ O N ,” power is applied to the common brush. The low
speed and high speed brushes are connected to their
respective ground via the control switch. When the control
switch is positioned at “ HI” or “ LO” speed, a ground path
is connected to the high or low speed brush in the motor.
The motor runs at the switch selected speed.
In order to have the wiper blades stop in their normal
park position and the w iper motor shut off properly, the
motor must run in LO speed. When the control switch is
moved to the OFF position, the low speed brush circuit
goes through a park switch located in the gear housing
and then to ground at the control switch. The park switch
is normally closed and this allows the wiper to keep
running. When the wiper blades reach their park position,
cam on the gear opens the normally closed park switch,
which turns off the wiper. Refer to Figures 29 and 30.

The gear train consists of a motor arm ature helical
gearshaft which drives an intermediate gear and pinion
assembly. The pinion gear of the intermediate gear and
pinion drives an output gear and shaft assembly.
Turning the wiper switch to the LO speed position
completes the circuits from the wiper term inals 1 and 3 to
ground (Figure 48). Current then flows from the battery via
wiper terminal No. 2 through the series field and divides;
(1) part passes through the armature to ground via wiper
terminal No. 1 to the wiper switch and (2) the second part
passes through the shunt field to ground through wiper
terminal No. 3 to the wiper switch. The wiper switch must
be securely grounded to body metal.
Moving the wiper switch to the HI speed position opens
the shunt field circuit to ground at the switch. However,
the shunt field is connected to a 20 ohm resistor which is
connected across wiper term inals 1 and 3. The shunt field
current then flows via terminal No. 3 through the resistor
to terminal No. 1 to the switch, to ground.

b. W iper motor is securely grounded to body.
c. W ip e r s w itc h is s e c u re ly m o u n te d and
grounded.
d. Check fuse.
If items in Step 1 check out, try operating w iper in
both “ LO” and “ HI” speeds, then turn w iper off
(blades should return to park position). If wiper fails
to operate correctly, proceed to Step 3.
D isconnect w iring harness from w ipe r and try
operating w iper as shown in Figures 49, 50, and 51.
If wiper operates correctly independently of switch
and vehicle w iring, refer to “ DIAGNOSIS — WIPER
ON VEH IC LE.”
If wiper still fails to operate correctly in Step 3,
disconnect wiper linkage from motor crank arm and
try operating w iper again. If wiper operates correctly
independently of linkage, check linkage for cause of
wiper m alfunction.
If wiper fails to operate correctly independently of
linkage, remove wiper motor from vehicle and refer
to “ DIAGNOSIS — WIPER OFF VEHICLE.”

HEATER SYSTEM CIRCUITS
DESCRIPTION
The heater blower motor is controlled by the blower
switch. The blower switch is a four position switch; off,
low, medium, and high. This switch controls the speed of
the blower motor by connecting different resistances into
the motor circuit, thereby dropping the voltage available to
the motor.
The blower switch is located on the control assembly.
The harness from the switch goes to the dash panel
connector and into the engine compartment. The harness
is then routed to the resistor block, which is located on the
blower housing. From the resistor block, the harness then
g o e s to th e b lo w e r m otor. T h e w ire c o lo rs
can be found in the wiring diagrams which are at the back
of this manual.
DIAGNOSIS
For diagnosis of the heater blower circuit, refer to
HEATING AND VENTILATION (SEC. 1A).
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
For on-vehicle service of the heater blower circuit, refer
to HEATING AND VENTILATION (SEC. 1A).
AIR CONDITIONING ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DESCRIPTION
DIAGNOSIS
The compressor electro-magnetic clutch is turned on
and off by the pressure sensing switch. When refrigerant
pressure drops below a certain predetermined level, the
switch opens the compressor clutch circuit, which causes
the refrigeration system to stop working. The pressure
sensing switch is located near the top of the accumulator.
For diagnosis of the A/C electrical system, refer to AIR
CONDITIONING (SEC. 1B).
ON-VEHICLE SERVICE
For on-vehicle service of the air conditioning, refer to

FRONT LIGHT SYSTEMS
The front lighting system includes the headlamps, the
front parking lamps, and the front side marker lamps. The
circuit starts at the fuse block and goes to the light switch
in the instrum ent panel. From the light switch the circuit
goes to the dash panel connector and then to the front
lamps.
HEADLAMP SYSTEM
The headlamp system has two options. One option is
two headlamps, each headlamp having a parking lamp
located under it. The other option is four headlamps, with
the parking lam ps located in the g rill. On the four
headlamp option, when the low beam circuit is energized,
only the upper headlamps will be on. When the high
beam circuit is energized, only the lower headlamps will
be on. Refer to figures 1, 2, 3, and 4.

REAR LIGHTING SYSTEMS
The rear lighting systems contain the circuits for the
running, park, turn, stop and license lamps. One bulb
may function for more than one circuit. The harness for
the rear lighting systems starts at the fuse block, goes to
the various switches and then back along the left frame to
the various lamps.
REAR RUNNING LAMPS AND
MARKER LAMPS
This circuit starts at the lamp switch. The lamps will be
on when the lamp switch is in the first and second
detents. The front park lamps and front marker lamps will
also be on when the lamp switch is in the first detent.
REAR PARK LAMPS
These lamps will be on when the lamp switch is in the
first detent. The front park lamps will also be on. The side
marker lamps will also be on.
REAR TURN, STOP, AND
HAZARD SYSTEMS
These three systems use the same bulb in the rear
lamps. When the rear turn system is turned on, a thermal
oscillator is turned on, which causes the system to flash.
The front park lamps are also a part of the turn system.
The stop lamp system is turned on by a brake switch
closing. The two rear bright lamps are then turned on.
The hazard system is turned on by the hazard switch.
The hazard system therm al oscillator is then turned on

WINDOW REPLACEMENT
If a glass is cracked but still intact, it should be
crisscrossed with masking tape to reduce the risk of injury
and/or damage to the vehicle. If a crack extends to the
edge of the glass, mark the door with a piece of chalk at
the point where the crack meets the weatherstrip. Later,
when examining the flange of the opening for a cause of
the crack, start at the point marked.
It is important that the cause ofthe crack be determined
and the condition corrected, before the new glass is
installed. The cause of the crack may be an obstruction or
high spot somewhere around the flange of the opening;
cracking may not occur until pressure from the high spot
or obstruction becomes particularly high due to winds,
extremes of temperature, or rough terrain.
STATIONARY GLASS
Remove or Disconnect (Figure 96)
CAUTION: Always wear heavy gloves when
handling glass to minimize the risk of injury.

inside with a putty knife.
3. Window from the weatherstrip.
Install or Connect
1. Weatherstrip to the glass.

DOOR ADJUSTMENT
Each of the two doors must first be adjusted in the door
opening before adjusting the door to door clearance.
Adjust (Figure 104)
1. The door height so that there is a gap of 6 mm ± 0.5
mm (0.25-inch ± 0.02-inch) between the roof panel and
the rear door panel.
2. The gap between the bottom of the door panel (not the
bottom of the outer panel) and the platform panel
should be 6 mm ± 0.5 mm (0.25-inch ± 0.02-inch).
This measurement should be taken on each door
individually from the side of the door. Thedoor should
be in its normal closed position. (The outer rear door
panel is 15.25 mm ± 0.5 mm (0.60-inch ± 0.02-inch)
away from the rear platform panel when normally
closed).
3. The rear door outer panel to the body side outer panel
gap to 4 mm ± 0.5 mm (0.16-inch ± 0.02-inch).
4. The door to door clearance between the left and right
outer door panels should be 6 mm ± 0.5 mm
(0.25-inch ± 0.02-inch).

WINDOW REPLACEMENT
If a glass is cracked but still intact, it should be
crisscrossed with masking tape to reduce the risk of injury
and/or damage to the vehicle. If a crack extends to the
edge of the glass, mark the door with a piece of chalk at
the point where the crack meets the weatherstrip. Later,
when examining the flange of the opening for a cause of
the crack, start at the point marked.
It is im p o rta n t th a t th e c a u s e of th e c ra c k be
determined and the condition corrected, before the new
glass is installed. The cause of the crack may be an
obstruction or high spot somewhere around the flange of
the opening; cracking may not occur until pressure from
the high spot or obstruction becomes particularly high
due to winds, extremes of temperature, or rough terrain.

G MODEL TOP STRAP BELT ANCHOR INSTALLATION
All hardware discussed in this procedure should be
supplied or available from the child seat manufacturer. Be
sure the child seat position does not conflict with any ad
ditional requirements provided by its manufacturer, or with
any recomm endations in the Child Restraint section of the
Ow ner’s manual.
The child seat may be used only in a forward facing
seating location.
Installation of top strap belts is not recommended in the
front passenger seat of “ G ” Vans. The second seat offset
which allows passenger entry does not position a second
seat lap belt within the recommended zone for attach
ment to the top strap hook. Also, a floor anchorage is
impractical since the top strap length is insufficient to di
rectly connect the restraint to the floor with high back
bucket seats.

WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT
When replacing a cracked windshield, it is important
that the cause of the crack be determ ined and the
condition corrected, before a new glass is installed. The
cause of the crack may be an obstruction or high spot
somewhere around the flange of the opening; cracking
may not occur until pressure from the high spot or
obstruction becomes p articularly high due to winds,
extremes of temperature, or rough terrain. Suggestions of
what to look for are described later in this section under
“ Inspection” .
If a crack extends to the edge of the glass, mark the
point where the crack meets the weatherstrip. (Use a
piece of chalk and mark the point on the cab, next to the
weatherstrip.) Later, when examining the flange of the

INSPECTION
An inspection of the flange of the windshield opening,
the weatherstrip, and the glass may reveal the cause of a
broken windshield. This can help prevent future breakage.
If th e re is no a p p a re n t c a u s e o f b re a k a g e , th e
weatherstrip should be removed from the flange of the
opening and the flange inspected. Look for high weld or
solder spots, hardened spot weld sealer, or any other
o bstruction or irre g u la rity in the flange. C heck the
weatherstrip for irregularities or obstructions in it.
Check a windshield that is to be installed to make sure
it does not have any chipped edges. Chipped edges can
be ground off, restoring a smooth edge to the glass, and
m in im iz in g c o n c e n tra tio n s of p re ssu re th a t ca use
breakage. Remove no more than necessary, in an effort to
maintain the original shape of the glass and the proper
clearance between it and the flange of the opening. See
“ G lass-To-O pening C lea ra nce C h e c k ” later in th is
section.
GLASS-TO-OPENING CLEARANCE CHECK
Before installing a windshield, the clearance between
the edge of the glass and the flange of the opening
should be checked. On RV Models the glass and flange
overlap by 5 mm (0.2-inch). If the windshield is too big,
rework the metal flange or grind off the edge of the glass.
If the glass is to be ground off, place a strip of tape on the
glass and use the edge of the tape as a guide.
If there is too much clearance between the glass and
the flange of the opening, the flange can be built up.
Braze a piece of 3 mm (Ve-inch) diameter wire to the edge
of the flange. Usually, building up one side and half way
around one corner will be enough. Taper off the ends of
the wire to avoid an abrupt change in contour which could
result, later, in a broken windshield.
Rubber cleaner.
Rubber primer.
Pinchweld primer.
Blackout primer.
Filler strip (for use on windshield installations for
v e h ic le s e q u ip pe d w ith e m b edded w in d s h ie ld

9. Primer applicators.
Other materials are required for windshield installation
which are not included in the service kit. These include:
1. GM Rubber lubricant No. 1051717.
2. Alcohol for cleaning the edge of the glass.
3. Adhesive dispensing gun J-24811 or
4. A standard household cartridge type gun reworked as
follows:
a. Widen the end slot to fit the diameter of the
dispensing nozzle of the adhesive tube.
b. Reduce the diameter of the plunger disc so that
the disc will enter the large end of the adhesive
tube.
5. Commercial type razor knife (for cutting along the edge
of the glass).
6 . Weatherstrip Tool J-2189-02.
W indshield installation requires a num ber of timed
steps because of the cure tim es involved with the primers,
solvents, and adhesives used in this procedure. This
tim ing is important and must be followed.

WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT
When replacing a cracked windshield, it is important
that the cause of the crack be determ ined and the
condition corrected, before a new glass is installed. The
cause of the crack may be an obstruction or high spot
somewhere around the flange of the opening; cracking
may not occur until pressure from the high spot or
obstruction becomes p articularly high due to winds,
extremes of temperature, or rough terrain. Suggestions of
what to look for are described later in this section under
“ Inspection” .
If a crack extends to the edge of the glass, mark the
point where the crack meets the weatherstrip. (Use a
piece of chalk and mark the point on the cab, next to the
weatherstrip.) Later, when examining the flange of the
opening for a cause of the crack start at the point marked.
The higher the temperature of the work area, the more
pliable the weatherstrip will be. The more pliable the
weatherstrip, the more easily the w indshield can be
removed.
NOTICE: When cleaning windshield glass, avoid
contacting the edge o f the plastic laminate
material (on the edge o f the glass) with volatile
cleaner. Contact may cause discoloration and
deterioration o f the plastic laminate by wicking
action. Do not use a petroleum based solvent
such as kerosene or gasoline. The presence of
oil will prevent adhesion o f new material.

• W ith the aid of an a ssistan t, remove the
windshield.
Two methods of glass replacement may be used. The
first of these methods is called the short method. This
method can be used when the original adhesive is left on
the window opening pinchweld flange after the glass has
been removed. The old adhesive serves as a base for the
new glass.
The second method, is the extended method. This is
used when the original adhesive cannot be used as a
base for the new glass. The original adhesive is removed
and replace with new adhesive. When repair to the sheet
m etal or w indow opening is required, the extended
method must be used.

GLASS POLISHING
MINOR SCRATCH AND ABRASION REMOVAL
M inor scratches and abrasions can be removed or
reduced by follow ing the procedure outlined below.
P re c a u tio n s m u st be ta k e n , how ever, to p re v e n t
distortions of vision; double vision may result if an attempt
is made to remove deep scratches. Deep scratches
should not be removed from an area in the driver’s line of
vision; in such cases, the glass should be replaced.
The procedure that follows was developed using a
cerium oxide compound. Follow m anufacturer’s directions
if other materials are used.
Recommended Equipment
1. A low speed (600-1300 rpm) rotary polisher.
2. A wool, felt, rotary polishing pad 76 mm (three-inches)
in diameter and 51 mm (two-inches) thick.
3. Powdered cerium oxide mixed with water. This is the
abrasive compound.
4. A w ide m outh c o n ta in e r to hold the a b rasive
compound.
Polishing Procedure (Figure 20)
1. Mix at least 44 ml (1.5 oz.) of cerium oxide with enough
water to obtain a creamy consistency. (If the mixture is
too thick it will cake on the felt pad more quickly. If it is
too runny, more polishing time will be needed.)
2. Draw a circle around the scratches on the opposite
side of the glass with a marking crayon, or equivalent.
3. Draw a line directly behind the scratch(es) to serve as
a guide for locating the scratch while polishing.
4. Cover the surrounding area with masking paper to
catch the drippings or spattered polish.
10A3-12 GLASS
5. Dip the felt pad attached to the polisher into the
mixture. Do not submerge the pad or allow the pad to
stay in the mixture as it may loosen the bond between
the pad and the metal plate.
NOTICE: Never hold the tool in one spot or
operate the tool on the glass any longer than 30
to 45 seconds. If the glass becomes hot to
touch, let it air cool before proceding further.
Cooling with c o ld w ater may crack heated
glass. Avoid excessive pressure. It may cause
overheating of the glass.
6. Polish the scratched area, but note the following:
a. Agitate the m ixture as often as needed to
m a in ta in th e cre a m y c o n s is te n c y o f the
compound.
b. Use moderate but steady pressure.
c. Hold the pad flat against the glass.
d. Use a feathering-out motion.
e. Dip the pad into the mixture every 15 seconds to
ensure that the wheel and the glass are always
wet during the polishing operation. (A dry pad
causes excessive heat to develop.)
f. Keep the pad free of dirt and other foreign
substances.
7. After removing the scratch, wipe the area clean of any
polish.
8. Clean the polishing pad.
