A small number of subject vehicles may exhibit a condition of lack of wheel cover/hub cap
retension on one or more of the wheels. The wheel covers/hub caps may not grip the embossment
on the wheel, thus the cover will not stay on. This occurs primarily during installation at new vehicle
pre-delivery. If the above condition occurs, the wheel must be replaced.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Description and Operation
CONSTANT VOLTAGE REGULATOR (CVR) TYPE
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING
A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions included with the tester.

Power Door Lock Relay: Testing and Inspection
To test the relay, move either of the front lock knobs to the lock and unlock positions. An audible
clicking sound should be heard from under the dash near the steering column support. If the sound
is heard while operating one knob but not the other, a defective switch or wiring may be at fault. If a
clicking sound is not heard, locate the relay and test as follows:
1. Check for power by back probing the LG wire at the relay.
^ If power is present, go to step 2.
^ If power is not present, check the circuit breaker and the wire between the relay and the circuit
breaker.
2. Back probe the OR wire at the relay and move the lock knob to the lock position. Battery voltage
should be momentarily present, indicating that
the relay operates in the lock position. ^
If power is present go to step 4.
^ If power is not present, go to step 3.
3. Backprobe the VT wire and move the lock knob to the lock position.
^ If power is present, the relay is defective.
^ If power is not present, the door switch or wiring may be defective.
4. Backprobe the LB wire at the relay and move the lock knob to the unlock position. Battery
voltage should be momentarily present, indicating that
the relay operates in the unlock position. ^
If power is present, the relay is operating properly.
^ If power is not present, go to step 5.
5. Backprobe the LG wire and move the lock knob to the unlock position.
^ If power is present, the relay is defective.
^ If power is not present, the door switch or wiring may be defective.

9. Install the boot on the driveshaft and the clamp, using Miller Tool #C-4653 as follows:
a. Wrap binding strap around boot twice, plus 63 mm (2-1/2 inches).
b. Pass the strap through the buckle and fold it back about 29 mm (1-1/8 inches) on the inside of
the buckle.
c. Put the strip around the boot with the eye of the buckle toward you. Wrap the strip around the
boot once and pass it through the buckle, then wrap it around a second time also passing it through
the buckle.
d. Fold the strip back slightly to prevent it from slipping backwards.
e. Open the tool all the way and place strip in narrow slot approximately 13 mm (1/2 inch) from
buckle.
f. Hold the binding strip with the left hand and push the tool forward and slightly upward. Then fit
the hook of the tool into the eye of the buckle.
g. Tighten the strip by closing the tool handles. Then rotate the tool (handles) downward while
slowly releasing the pressure on the tool handles. Allow the tool (handles) to open progressively.
Then open the tool entirely and remove them sideways.
h. If the strap is not tight enough, re-engage the tool a second or even a third time, always about 13
mm (112 inch) from the buckle. When tightening always be careful to see that the strap slides in a
straight line and without resistance in the buckle, that is without making a fold. An effective grip will
be obtained only by following the above instructions.
10. Install the slip yoke on the driveshaft. (Make sure universal joints are placed properly.)
11. Install boot and second clamp on the slip yoke with the splined stub extended approximately
1.5" from the fully collapsed position, and the boot vented at this position before installing the

Fuel Gauge Sender: Testing and Inspection
A hinged float arm in the fuel tank contacts a variable resistor in the gauge sending unit. The
varying resistance in the fuel gauge circuit registers on the instrument panel gauge. Resistance in
the circuit is lowest when the fuel tank is full and float arm is raised. The resulting high current flow
causes the instrument panel gauge to indicate Full.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Disconnect electrical connector from fuel tank sending unit and attach connector to a known
good sending unit. 2. Connect a jumper wire between sending unit fuel pickup tube and a good
ground. 3. Secure sending unit float arm in the empty stop position and turn ignition On. Within two
minutes, the gauge should read Empty, plus one pointer
width or minus two pointer widths.
4. Move float arm and secure in the full stop position. Within two minutes, the gauge should read
Full, plus two pointer widths, or minus one pointer
width.
5. If fuel gauge does not operate as specified, check the following:
a. Wiring and electrical connections between sending unit and connector. b. Wiring and electrical
connections between connector and printed circuit board terminals. c. Circuit continuity between
printed circuit board terminals and gauge terminals. d. Voltage limiter performance.
6. If fuel gauge operates as specified with known good sending unit, check fuel tank and original
sending unit as follows:
a. Remove sending unit from fuel tank. b. Connect sending unit wire and jumper wire as previously
described. c. If fuel gauge now operates as specified, check sending unit for damage, obstructions
or improper installation and correct as necessary.

Fig. 3 Model 800-808 power steering gear disassembled
Fig. 4 Model 605 power steering gear disassembled
There are two types of Saginaw integral rotary valve type single piston steering gears. The two
different types of gears can be identified by the configuration of the side covers. The Model 605
gear has a round side cover, secured with a retaining ring. The Model 800-808 gear has a
rectangular side cover, secured with four bolts. Also, note that the Model 800-808 gear
incorporates balls in the rack piston, while the Model 605 gear does not. The power steering gear
operates entirely by displacing oil to provide hydraulic pressure assists only when turning. As the
entire gear assembly is always filled with oil, all internal components of the gear are immersed in
oil, making periodic lubrication unnecessary. In addition this oil acts as a cushion to absorb road
shocks that may be transmitted to the driver. The steering shaft, hydraulic valve, worm and rack
piston nut are all in line, making a compact and space saving steering gear. All oil passages are
internal except the pressure and return hoses between gear and pump.

of ``C''.
4. Move tester pointer to ``M'' position. Temperature gauge should now advance to normal range
left of 1/2 position on dial. 5. Move tester pointer to ``H'' position. Temperature gauge should now
advance to ``H'' position on dial. 6. If temperature gauge responds to tests described in steps 3, 4
and 5, but does not operate when sending unit electrical connector is attached, the
sending unit is defective and should be replaced.
7. If temperature gauge does not respond to tests described in steps 3, 4 and 5, check for loose
connections, broken wire, open printed circuit or
faulty gauge.

Description and Operation
Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
A bimetal temperature switch located in the cylinder head controls the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a burned out bulb, an open in
the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch.
If the red light is lit when the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a
ground, defective temperature switch, or overheated cooling system.
As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is functioning properly, a wire which is connected to
the ground terminal of the ignition switch is tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the "Start"
(engine cranking) position, the ground terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will
be lit. When the engine is started and the ignition switch is in the "On" position, the test circuit is
opened and the bulb is then controlled by the temperature switch.

This bulletin supersedes Technical Service Bulletin #18-19-85 which should be removed from your
files. The model application has been expanded to include 1981 and 1982 model years.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

GROUP: COOLING
DATE: Dec. 21, 1990
MODELS:
All Domestic & Import Vehicles
DISCUSSION:
A number of systems are being marketed to "recycle" or "reconstitute" used ethylene glycol
antifreeze/coolant in the dealership. Some of the systems have been advertised as producing a
recycled antifreeze "as good as" original and suggest the recycled product is suitable for use in
Chrysler Corporation vehicles.
Tests, so far, indicate most of these systems merely remove suspended solids from the used
antifreeze/coolant through the use of various size filters. These systems do not remove glycol
degradation products, or dissolved solids, which can cause water pump seal wear.
These systems use a universal "reinhibitor package". The "reinhibitor package" can not restore
every type antifreeze/coolant inhibitor system to a like new condition.
Tests results indicate these "recycled" products do not consistently provide the protection required
in Chrysler Corporation engines and cooling systems.
The use of these "reconstituted" antifreeze/coolants is not authorized in the performance of any
repair covered under the provisions of the warranty.

Power Door Lock Relay: Testing and Inspection
To test the relay, move either of the front lock knobs to the lock and unlock positions. An audible
clicking sound should be heard from under the dash near the steering column support. If the sound
is heard while operating one knob but not the other, a defective switch or wiring may be at fault. If a
clicking sound is not heard, locate the relay and test as follows:
1. Check for power by back probing the LG wire at the relay.
^ If power is present, go to step 2.
^ If power is not present, check the circuit breaker and the wire between the relay and the circuit
breaker.
2. Back probe the OR wire at the relay and move the lock knob to the lock position. Battery voltage
should be momentarily present, indicating that
the relay operates in the lock position. ^
If power is present go to step 4.
^ If power is not present, go to step 3.
3. Backprobe the VT wire and move the lock knob to the lock position.
^ If power is present, the relay is defective.
^ If power is not present, the door switch or wiring may be defective.
4. Backprobe the LB wire at the relay and move the lock knob to the unlock position. Battery
voltage should be momentarily present, indicating that
the relay operates in the unlock position. ^
If power is present, the relay is operating properly.
^ If power is not present, go to step 5.

Air Diverter Valve: Description and Operation Relief Valve
Fig. 5 Switch/relief valve
This valve, Fig. 5, serves two purposes. The valve directs the flow or air injection either to the
exhaust port location or to the downstream injection point. the valve also regulates system
pressure by controlling the output of the air pump at high engine speeds. When pump pressure
reaches a predetermined level, some of its output is vented to the atmosphere through the silencer.
The switch/relief valve is controlled by manifold vacuum with either a CCEVS and/or a vacuum
solenoid. When the engine is cold, a manifold vacuum signal is sent to the valve and air injection is
directed to the exhaust ports. When the engine warms up, the CCEVS or EGR solenoid shuts off
the manifold vacuum signal to the valve. A bleed orifice in the vacuum line to the valve allows the
vacuum signal to go to zero. Without a vacuum signal, the valve directs most of the pump output to
the downstream location. Slots in the valve seat allow a small amount of air to be injected to the
exhaust ports at all times.

NOTES:
- With disc brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake pads wear.
- Check master cylinder fluid level twice annually.
- Master cylinder reservoirs are marked with the words "fill to bottom of rings".
1. Wipe caps and reservoir clean to prevent dirt and foreign matter from dropping into the reservoir.
2. Remove the caps to check the level.
- On aluminum master cylinder add DOT 3 fluid to bring the level to the bottom of the primary split
ring.
- On the cast iron master cylinder, add DOT 3 fluid to bring the level to within a 1/4 inch of the top
of reservoir.
CAUTION: Use fluid other than DOT 3 that may have a lower boiling point -- such as fluid identified
as 7OR1 or unidentified as to specification -- could result in brake failure during long, hard braking.
CAUTION: Do not use fluid which has been stored in an unsealed container. Brake fluid stored in
this manner will absorb moisture which could result in brake failure during long, hard braking.
CAUTION: Use of petroleum based fluids will result in seal damage.

Fig. 35 Choke system. Rochester Quadrajet carburetor
An off-set choke valve is mounted in the air horn above the primary venturi, Fig. 35. When closed,
this choke valve provides the correct air/fuel mixture enrichment for cold engine starting. The choke
valve will also assist in engine operation during warm-up. An electric choke coil located in the
choke housing combined with the off-set choke valve and throttle position, control choke operation.
To reduce choke closing during engine cool down, the heater hose is routing to contact the choke
housing.

CAUTION: When disconnecting a high voltage cable from a spark plug or from the distributor cap,
twist the rubber boot slightly (1/2 turn) to break it loose. Grasp the boot (not the cable) and pull it off
with a steady, even force.
Engine Firing Order
Install cables into the proper engine cylinder firing order.
When replacing the spark plug and coil cables, route the cables correctly and secure in the proper
retainers. Failure to route the cables properly can cause the radio to reproduce ignition noise. It
could also cause cross ignition of the plugs or short circuit the cables to ground.
When installing new cables, make sure a positive connection is made. A snap should be felt when
a good connection is made between the plug cable and the distributor cap tower.

APPEAR IN THE FORM OF DISCOLORED GREASE OR RUST.
If the hub is water contaminated, perform the following operation:
PARTS REQUIRED
Hub Repair Package PN 4411998 (as required)
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Remove hub from axle.
2. Inspect the hub carefully to determine the extent of the water damage. If the hub components
are corroded beyond repair, replace the hub assembly with new hub, PN 4384120.
If damage to the hub is light, do the following:
3. Disassemble the hub and clean thoroughly to remove all contaminants Refer to Rear Wheel
Drive Truck Service Manual for service procedure.
4. Inspect all components, especially the drag sleeve, brake band, and inner and outer cages for
damage. Replace as necessary.
5. Reassemble the hub.
6. Lubricate the hub by dipping all components except the bearing and race assembly, brake band,
and drag sleeve assembly in automatic transmission fluid.
7. Allow the excess transmission fluid to drip off.
8. Repack the bearing and race assembly with Darmex Lubricant, PN 4293040.
9. Lubricate the brake band and drag sleeve with Darmex Lubricant, PN 4293040.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT SUBSTITUTE ANY OTHER LUBRICANT FOR THE DARMEX
LUBRICANT SPECIFIED IN STEPS 8 AND 9, OR FAILURE OF THE HUB TO OPERATE
PROPERLY COULD RESULT.
10. Reassemble and install the hub as outlined in the service manual.

Fan Clutch: Testing and Inspection
Fig. 3 Bimetallic coiled spring removal
FAN DRIVE CLUTCH TEST
Do not operate the engine until the fan has been first checked for possible cracks and separations.
To check the clutch fan, disconnect the bimetal spring and rotate 90° counterclockwise. This
disables the temperature-controlled, free-wheeling feature and the clutch performs like a
conventional fan. If this cures the overheating condition, replace the clutch fan.
FAN CLUTCH NOISE
Fan clutch noise can sometimes be noticed when clutch is engaged for maximum cooling. Clutch
noise is also noticeable within the first few minutes after starting engine while clutch is redistributing
the silicone fluid back to its normal, disengaged operating condition after settling for long periods of
time (overnight). However, continuous fan noise or an excessive roar indicates the clutch assembly
is locked-up due to internal failure. This condition can be checked by attempting to manually rotate
fan. If fan cannot be rotated manually or there is a rough, abrasive feel as fan is rotated, the clutch
should be replaced.
FAN LOOSENESS
Lateral movement can be observed at the fan blade tip under various temperature conditions
because of the type bearing used. This movement should not exceed 1/4 inch (6.5 mm) as
measured at the fan tip. If this lateral movement does not exceed specifications, there is no cause
for replacement.
CLUTCH FLUID LEAK
Small fluid leaks do not generally affect the operation of the unit. These leaks generally occur
around the area of the bearing assembly, but, if the leaks appear to be excessive, engine
overheating may occur. Check for clutch and fan free-wheeling by attempting to rotate fan and
clutch assembly by hand five times. If no drag is felt, replace clutch.
FAN BLADE INSPECTION
Place fan on flat surface with leading edge facing down. If there is a clearance between fan blade
touching surface and opposite blade of more than 0.090 inch (2 mm), replace fan. (See caution at
beginning of chapter.)

Battery chargers vary in the amount of voltage and current that they can supply. Therefore, the
time required for the battery to begin accepting measurable current will also vary. REMEMBER,
when you begin to charge a battery, it may be several minutes before charging current is
measurable. The charging current will then increase rapidly to normal values provided a good
charger is used.
CHARGING A VERY FLAT OR COMPLETELY DISCHARGED BATTERY
Unless this procedure is properly followed, a perfectly good battery may be needlessly replaced.
1. Measure the voltage at the battery terminals with an accurate voltmeter. If it is below 10 volts,
the battery will accept current at a very low rate (milliamperes). It could be some time before the
charging rate increases. Such low current flow may NOT be detectable on some ammeters.
2. Set the charger to a high setting.
3. Some chargers have a polarity protection feature which prevents charging unless the charger
leads are connected to the correct battery terminals. A completely discharged battery may not have
enough voltage to activate this circuitry, even though the leads are connected properly. This will
make it appear that the battery will not accept a charge. Follow the charger manufacturer's
instructions telling how to bypass or override this circuitry so that the charger will turn on and
charge a low-voltage battery.
4. Battery chargers vary in the amount of voltage and current they provide. The time required for
the battery to accept measurable charger current at various voltages is as follows:
Voltage Hours
16.0 volts or more Up to 4 hours
14.0 to 15.9 volts Up to 8 hours
13.9 volts or less Up to 16 hours
If the charging current is not up to a measurable amount at the end of the above times, the battery
should be replaced.
If the charging current is measurable before the end of, or at the end of the above times, the
battery is good and charging should be completed in the normal manner.
6. It is recommended that any battery recharged by this procedure be LOAD TESTED prior to
returning it to service.
BATTERY TESTING
Load Test
1. Observe the test indicator for presence of the GREEN DOT. If not visible, charge the battery
prior to testing.
2. Observing the polarity, connect a voltmeter and a battery load tester with amp-meter across the
battery terminals.
3. Apply a 300 amp load for 15 seconds to remove the surface charge from the battery, and then
remove the load.
4. Wait at least 15 seconds to let the battery recover, and apply the specified load to the battery.
5. Read the voltage after 15 seconds with the load applied, then remove the load.
6. If the voltage does NOT drop below the minimum voltage listed in the load chart, the battery is
good and should be returned to service.
NOTE: THE BATTERY TEMPERATURE MUST BE ESTIMATED BY THE TEMPERATURE THAT
THE BATTERY HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO FOR THE FEW HOURS PRIOR TO TESTING.
7. If the battery passes the load test, no further tests are required and it should be returned to
service. If it fails the load test, check further to determine whether it should be charged or replaced.

connector (Figure 2-E).
C. In-Tank Fuel Pump Installation
1. Remove the fuel tank gauge unit from the fuel tank per the service manual procedure and
discard. Install the new seal and gauge/pump unit from the applicable kit. Use extreme caution to
protect the float and gauge assembly during installation into the fuel tank.
2. With the fuel tank partially raised, connect the fuel tank vent hose, fuel return, and fuel supply
hoses. Secure the hoses with the hose clamps provided.
3. Install existing gauge/pump wiring:
^ Black mold connector (gauge circuit) light blue with tracer wire to black stud of gauge/pump
assembly.
^ Tape back existing yellow mold connector white wire (this wire will no longer be used).
^ Install red mold connector (pump feed circuit) dark green wire of new body wiring overlay
harness, PN 4362286, onto the red stud of gauge/pump assembly.
^ Install yellow mold blade connector of body overlay harness, PN 4362286, to ground blade on

Symptom/Condition, Diagnosis & Parts Information
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Brake Drum: Testing and Inspection
VISUAL INSPECTION
Inspect the drum for cracks. If any large, through-the-drum cracks are located the drum must be
replaced.
NOTE: Cracks in drums are often difficult to locate. To quickly determine if a drum is cracked lightly
drop the drum (from a height of 4-5 inches) onto a flat hard surface. A cracked drum will make a
dull thud sound while a good drum will make a ringing sound.
Inspect for signs of overheating. An overheated drum will often be discolored (blue/gold), warped,
or heat checked. Heat checks are small cracks in the drum friction surface. If drums are cracked or heat spotted, they must be replaced.
NOTE: The cause of the overheating should be determined prior to replacing the shoes/linings or
drums.
Inspect for scoring. Any grooves or scores in excess of 0.008 inches should be resurfaced.
SPECIFICATIONS - See: Specifications
MAXIMUM DIAMETER
Purpose
The thickness of the drum friction surface is directly proportional to the drums ability to absorb and
release heat during braking. As the drum becomes thinner due to normal wear and resurfacing it
looses its ability to absorb and release heat and is more prone to brake fade, distortion, and
cracking.
As the drum wears the inside diameter of the drum increases. The amount of drum thickness lost to
wear is equal to 1/2 the increase in diameter.
There are two specifications related to drum thickness.
Discard Diameter - This is the maximum diameter at which it becomes unsafe to operate. A drum
which has reached this thickness should not be machined and should be discarded.
Maximum Refinish - This is the maximum diameter to which a drum may be machined or
resurfaced to. This diameter is smaller (thicker) than the Discard diameter because it assumes the
drum will need to have a sufficient thickness left, after machining, to allow for further wear from a
new set of shoes/linings.
Which One Should Be Used?
If you install a new pair of shoes with the drum diameter at or less than the "Maximum Refinish"
specification the drums should have a sufficient thickness to last the normal life of the new
shoes/linings.
The "Discard Diameter" should be used to determine if a drum needs to be replaced at the present
time of inspection.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Testing and Inspection
CONSTANT VOLTAGE REGULATOR (CVR) TYPE
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING
A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions included with the tester.

- This marking includes 0.030 inch (0.762mm) allowable rotor wear beyond the recommended
0.030 inch (0.762mm) of disc refacing.
Example: Minimum Allowable Thickness 0.940 in (23.8mm)
- Allow for Wear 0.030 in (0.762mm)
- Do Not Reface Beyond 0.970 in (24.6mm)
All brake rotors have a minimum thickness dimension cast into them. This dimension 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.
NOTE: 1 inch = 25.4mm, so if your micrometer measures in inches and the specified thickness on
the disc is in millimeters, convert millimeters to inches by dividing the specified number of
millimeters by 25.4.
Example: Specification on disc is 17.8 mm. Dividing 17.8mm by 25.4mm/in = 17.8/25.4 = 0.70
inches.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit, which is an oil pressure switch.
The oil pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is
turned on, the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed
contacts in the pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses
the diaphragm, opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If it does not light,
disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or cylinder block. Then if
the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the bulb.
If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the engine
unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight and
properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground).
If the warning light remains lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before
proceeding further to determine the cause for a low pressure indication.
The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the engine is idling, even though the oil
pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when the engine speed is increased.

Speedometer Cable: Service and Repair
The following material covers only that service on speedometers which is feasible to perform.
Repairs on the units themselves are not included as they require special tools and extreme care
when making repairs and adjustments that only an experienced speedometer mechanic should
attempt. The speedometer has two main parts, the speedometer head and the speedometer drive
cable. When the speedometer fails to indicate speed or mileage, the cable or cable housing is
probably broken.
SPEEDOMETER CABLE
Most cables are broken due to lack of lubrication, or a sharp bend or kink in the housing. A cable
might break because of the speedometer head mechanism binds. In such cases, the speedometer
head should be repaired or replaced before a new cable or housing is installed. A "jumpy" pointer
condition, together with a scraping noise, is due, in most instances, to a dry or kinked speedometer
cable. The kinked cable rubs on the housing and winds up, slowing down the pointer. The cable
then unwinds and the pointer "jumps." To check for kinks, remove the cable, lay it on a flat surface
and twist one end with the fingers. If it turns over smoothly the cable is not kinked. But if part of the
cable flops over as it is twisted, the cable is kinked and should be replaced.
LUBRICATION The speedometer cable should be lubricated with special cable lubricant. Fill the
ferrule on the upper end of the housing with the cable lubricant. Insert the cable in the housing,
starting at the upper end. Turn the cable around carefully while feeding it into the housing. Repeat
filling the ferrule except for the last six inches of cable. Too much lubricant at this point may cause
the lubricant to work into the speedometer head.
INSTALLING CABLE During installation, if the cable sticks when inserted in the housing and will
not go through, the housing is damaged inside or kinked. Be sure to check the housing from one
end to the other. Straighten any sharp bends by relocating clamps or elbows. Replace housing if it
is badly kinked or broken. Position the cable and housing so that they lead into the head as straight
as possible. Check the new cable for kinks before installing it. Use wide, sweeping, gradual curves
where the cable comes out of the transmission and connects to the head so the cable will not be
damaged during installation. Arrange the housing so it does not lean against the engine because
heat from the engine may dry out the lubricant. If inspection indicates that the cable and housing
are in good condition, yet pointer action is erratic, check the speedometer head for possible
binding. The speedometer drive pinion should also be checked. If the pinion is dry or its teeth are
stripped, the speedometer may not register properly.

Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation Hold-Off Valve
Fig. 23 Type 1, Combination Valve
Fig 2 Brake Warning Switch / Hold Off Valve (Cut Away View)
NOTE: Some vehicles incorporate a hold-off valve, usually in combination with the brake warning
switch. This valve is part of a combination valve. See Application and ID.
PURPOSE
Hold-off valves are used because of different braking characteristics between disc and drum
brakes. This valve holds off hydraulic pressure to the front disc brakes to a given pressure range to
allow the rear drum brake shoes to overcome the return springs and begin to contact drums.
- With disc brakes, brake application is immediate and braking response is directly proportional to
pedal effort.
- Drum brake response occurs after piston travel, return spring stretch, and shoe contact with the
drum. After contact self energizing tends to multiply pedal effort.
- This action helps prevent locking of the front brakes on icy surfaces under light braking
conditions.
- This valve has no effect on front brake pressure during hard stopping.
OPERATION
The hold-off valve section of the combination valve holds off pressure to the front disc brakes to
allow the rear drum brake shoes to overcome the return springs and begin to contact the drums. This valve keeps the output pressure to the front brakes in the 3 to 30 PSI range until the hold-off
pressure in the hold off valve reaches (117 PSI) at this point the valve allows full output pressure to
reach the front brakes.
- This helps to prevent the front brakes from locking under light pedal application when driving on
icy surfaces.
NOTE: The hold off valve has no effect on front brake pressure during hard stops.

P-4644-C The increasing availability of gasolines containing alcohol has resulted in the need to
provide additional information relative to driveability problems that may be experienced with the use
of gasolines containing alcohol. Chrysler's 1984 and 1985 Owner's Manual statement on gasolines
containing alcohol reads as follows:
Gasolines Containing Alcohol
Some gasolines sold at service stations contain alcohol, although they may not be so identified.
Use of fuels containing alcohol is not recommended, unless the nature of the blend can be
determined as being satisfactory.
Gasohol - A mixture of 10% Ethanol (grain alcohol) and 90%
unleaded gasoline may be used in your vehicle. If driveability problems are experienced as a result
of using gasohol, it is recommended that the vehicle be operated on gasoline.
Methanol - Do not use gasolines containing Methanol (wood
alcohol). Use of this type of alcohol can result in vehicle performance deterioration and damage
critical parts in the fuel pump, carburetor, and other fuel system components. Fuel system damage
and vehicle performance problems, resulting from the use of gasolines containing Methanol, may
not be covered by
the new vehicle warranty.
The following comments do not appear in the owners manuals.
Although gasohol is not recommended, it may be used. However, driveability problems may be
experienced, such as longer starting times, hesitation/stumble on accelerations, and/or loss of
power on accelerations resulting from fuel foaming/vapor lock due primarily to the increased
volatility of the gasohol. For customer complaints of this nature, and if the customer is using
gasohol or a fuel of unknown corn position, it is strongly recommended that the vehicle be returned
to 100% unleaded gasoline to obtain maximum driveability, performance, and fuel economy.
You can easily test the fuel for the presence and percentage of alcohol by using Miller Tool
#C-4846. This special tool is listed in your Miller Tool Catalog.
It is our recommendation that customers are made aware of the cautionary fuel statement in the
Owner's Manual in order to avoid unnecessary driveability complaints.
Customers may question the availability of alcohol-free fuel. As of the date this bulletin was printed
22 states will have passed alcohol labeling laws which require a label on the pump if alcohol is
present in the gasoline.
The attached is a partial list of where the major fuel suppliers stand on alcohol blended fuels.
Discretionary use of alcohol blends by independent retailers, however, may occur and should be
recognized.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit, which is an oil pressure switch.
The oil pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is
turned on, the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed
contacts in the pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses
the diaphragm, opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If it does not light,
disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or cylinder block. Then if
the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the bulb.
If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the engine
unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight and
properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground).
If the warning light remains lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before
proceeding further to determine the cause for a low pressure indication.
The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the engine is idling, even though the oil
pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when the engine speed is increased.

P-1271 This bulletin outlines the proper procedures that should be followed for charging system
diagnosis, battery testing, charging, and storage.
WARNING: ALL BATTERIES GENERATE HYDROGEN GAS, WHICH IS EXTREMELY
FLAMMABLE. IF IGNITED BY A SPARK OR FLAME, THE GAS MAY EXPLODE VIOLENTLY,
CAUSING SPRAYING OF ACID, FRAGMENTATION OF THE BATTERY, AND POSSIBLE
SEVERE PERSONAL INJURIES. WEAR APPROVED EYE PROTECTION. BATTERY FLUID IS A
CORROSIVE ACID. FLUSH ANY CONTACTED AREA WITH WATER IMMEDIATELY AND
THOROUGHLY.
Vehicle Storage
Today's vehicles have electronic components that require memory retention during a KEY OFF
condition. Though KEY OFF loads are small, over an extended period of time they will affect the
performance of the battery. Storage at low states of charge can result in permanent battery
damage due to internal corrosion. Storage at low states of charge will also result in battery
freezing. Therefore, vehicles that are NOT to be used for extended periods of time need special
attention.
To prevent battery damage you should check and charge (until the GREEN DOT appears), if
necessary, all batteries upon receipt of vehicles. For vehicles in storage, disconnect the large bullet
connector supplying power to the vehicle. Check and charge all batteries prior to delivering the
vehicle to the customer.
NOTE: THE IGNITION SWITCH MUST BE OFF WHEN CONNECTING OR DISCONNECTING
BATTERY CABLES OR CHARGERS. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO
ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS.
Repair Area, Built-In Test & Battery Visual Inspection Information
VEHICLES IN THE REPAIR AREA
If a vehicle is going to be in the repair area for a prolonged period of time, the technician should
disconnect the battery except when battery use is required for the repair. This will avoid battery
drains from an open hood, deck lid, doors, etc.
The battery is the primary component in the vehicle's electrical system. It is very important that the
battery be capable of delivering the current when necessary, as well as accepting current under
charging conditions.
Another important function of the battery is as a giant capacitor (shock absorber) in the electrical
system. It absorbs surges and acts as a buffer to the electrical system under short-term high-load
conditions.
All vehicles are equipped with maintenance-free batteries. They have nonremovable battery caps,
and never require the addition of water. The battery is sealed except for small vent holes in the
cover. The ability to seal the battery is a result of special chemical composition changes made
within the battery and the plates. These changes allow only very small amounts of gasses to be
generated under normal conditions.
BUILT-IN TEST INDICATOR
The battery contains a visual test indicator, or hydrometer, molded into the top of the battery case.
The test indicator will visually display the "state of charge" of the battery. When the battery is at an
adequate state of charge (100% to 75%), the indicator will be GREEN. When charging is required,

1. Raise and support vehicle and remove brake drum. 2. Clean area around housing cover, then
loosen housing cover and allow lubricant to drain. Remove cover. 3. Turn differential case until
pinion shaft lock screw is accessible and remove lock screw and pinion shaft. 4. Push axle shaft
inward and remove C-washer locks from axle shaft, then pull axle shaft from housing being careful
not to damage axle
shaft bearing. Inspect axle shaft bearing surfaces for signs of spalling or pitting. If any of these
conditions exist, both shaft and bearing should be replaced. Normal bearing contact on shaft
should be a dull gray and may appear lightly dented.
5. Remove axle shaft bearing and seal from axle housing using tools C-4167 and C-637 on all
models except 1984-87 9-1/4 inch HD axle, or tool
C-4828 on 1984-87 9-1/4 inch HD axle. If bearing shows no sign of excessive wear or damage, it
can be reused along with a new seal. Never reuse an axle shaft seal. Remove any burrs that may
be present in housing bearing shoulder, as bearing could become cocked during installation.
Fig. 8 Installing axle shaft oil seal
6. Using suitable tools, install bearing, making sure it does not become cocked. Drive bearing until
it bottoms against shoulder. Do not use seal to
position or bottom bearing as this will damage seal.
7. Using tool C-4130 or equivalent, install axle shaft bearing seal until outer flange of tool bottoms
against housing flange face. This will position
seal to the proper depth.
8. Reverse disassembly procedure to reassemble axle.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit, which is an oil pressure switch.
The oil pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is
turned on, the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed
contacts in the pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses
the diaphragm, opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If it does not light,
disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or cylinder block. Then if
the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the bulb.
If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the engine
unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight and
properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground).
If the warning light remains lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before
proceeding further to determine the cause for a low pressure indication.
The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the engine is idling, even though the oil
pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when the engine speed is increased.

Symptom/Condition, Diagnosis & Parts Information
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Antilock Brake System Bleeding Procedures
Fig 2 Extending Valve Stem
NOTE: All vehicles are equipped with a pressure hold-off valve. The valve is located (in the
combination valve) on the left frame rail. The hold off valve balances front and rear braking force to
improve braking and steering control on icy surfaces. The valve shuts off the flow of brake fluid
between 3 and 135 PSI. Because the valve shuts off flow in this pressure range the valve must be
held open manually -- using tool C-4121 or equivalent -- when pressure bleeding the system.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should a rigid clamp, wedge or block be used to depress the
valve stem. This could cause an internal valve failure resulting in complete loss of front brakes.
1. Clean all dirt and foreign material from the cover of the master cylinder to prevent dirt from falling
into the master cylinder reservoir when the
cover is removed.
2. Install metering valve hands off tool, part No. C-4121 to valve stem of metering valve.
NOTE: Complete bleeding of dual master cylinder is important before performing this procedure!
3. Starting with RWAL hydraulic valve, clean all dirt from the bleeder valve. 4. Place bleeder hose
on the bleeder valve and insert the other end of the bleeder hose into a clear jar half filled with
clean brake fluid. This will
permit the observation of air bubbles as they are being expelled from the hydraulic system and also
prevent air from being drawn back into the system.
5. Continue this bleeding with:
a. The right rear wheel b. Then left rear wheel c. Next, bleed the right front and d. Finish with the
left front wheel
6. Repeat this bleeding procedure if there is any indication of air remaining in the hydraulic system:
- Spongy brake pedal
- Warning light ON
CAUTION: The pressure release valve is in its innermost position when there is no pressure
present. No attempt should be made to further depress the valve stem.
NOTE: If diagnosis determines that master cylinder alone is cause of trouble, it can be replaced
without bleeding the hydraulic system provided the replacement cylinder is completely bled before
installation. After brake tubes are connected have helper apply force to pedal while both tube nuts
are cracked to release any air and then retightened.

The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.

Fig. 4 Spool valve inspection
1. Clean all parts in a suitable solvent being careful to avoid losing small parts. 2. Inspect valve
spool and valve spool bore in booster housing for corrosion, nicks, scoring or other damage.
Discoloration of the spool or bore,
particularly in the grooves, is not harmful.
3. If the valve spool or the spool bore has nicks or scoring that can be felt with a fingernail,
particularly on the hands, the spool and housing should
be replaced as an assembly. The clearance between the valve spool and the spool bore of the
housing is important. Because of this, the spool and housing make are made as a selective
assembly and therefore can only be replaced as an assembly.
4. Inspect the input rod and piston assembly for corrosion, nicks, scoring or excessive wear. If the
piston is damaged, the input rod and piston
assembly should be replaced.
5. Inspect piston bore in booster housing for corrosion, nicks, scoring or other damage. If the bore
is damaged, the valve spool and housing should be
replaced as an assembly.

Brake Warning Switch Description
Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation Brake Warning Switch
Description
Fig. 23 Type 1, Combination Valve
Fig 2 Brake Warning Switch / Hold Off Valve (Cut Away View)
NOTE: This valve is part of a combination valve. See Application and ID.
NOTE: The brake warning light is lit only when the parking brake is applied with the ignition key
turned "ON" or when one of the two service brake systems has failed.
The hydraulic system brake warning switch warns the vehicle operator that one of the hydraulic
systems has failed. A failure in one part of the brake system does not result in failure of the entire hydraulic brake
system.
- As an example, failure of the rear brake system will leave the front brake system still operative.
If a pressure loss occurs in one side of the dual brake system, the difference in pressure causes
the piston to move to the failed side and latch in that position. This will cause the brake system warning light to come on and stay on after the pedal is released.
- After the system is repaired and bled, a moderate application of the brake pedal will hydraulically
recenter the piston and automatically turn off the warning light.
CAUTION: Do not disassemble valve to reset the piston.

P-536 SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Radio reception coming in weak on FM stations and not at all on AM stations may be due to the
antenna plug short circuiting inside the radio. This condition is similar to a failed antenna.
DIAGNOSIS
To determine whether the radio or antenna is at fault:
1. To gain access to the back of the radio, slide the radio out of the instrument panel without
disconnecting any wires.
2. Turn radio on and tune to a local AM station.

Voltage Regulator Test
Fig. 2 Voltage regulator test connections
1. With ignition switch in Off position, disconnect alternator battery lead at output terminal and
connect ammeter in series between alternator and disconnected lead.
2. Connect a voltmeter between alternator L terminal and ground. Voltmeter should indicate zero
voltage. If voltage is present, the alternator or charging system wiring is defective.
3. Place ignition switch in the On position and note voltmeter reading. Voltmeter reading should be
1 volt or less. If a higher reading is indicated, the alternator is defective.
4. Connect a tachometer to engine, then start and operate engine at approximately 2000 to 3000
RPM and note ammeter reading. When starting engine, ensure no starting current is applied to
ammeter.
5. If ammeter reading is 5 amps or less on 1981-83 units, or 10 amps or less on 1984-86 models,
check voltmeter reading with engine operating at 2000 to 3000 RPM. The charging voltage should
be 14.4 volts at 68° F.
6. If ammeter reading is above 5 amps on 1981-83 models or above 10 amps on 1984-87 models,
continue to charge battery until reading drops to less than 5 amps on 1981-83 models, or to less
than 10 amps on 1984-87 models. If voltage is not within limits, alternator is defective. An
alternative method to limiting charging current is to connect a {1/4} ohm (25 watt) resistor in series
with battery.

Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Description and Operation
Fig. 46 Vacuum throttle positioner system
Some vehicles are equipped with a throttle positioner system to prevent unburned hydrocarbon
emissions through the exhaust system when the engine is decelerated from a high RPM. This
system consists of an electronic speed switch, an electrically controlled vacuum solenoid valve and
a vacuum actuated throttle positioner, Fig. 46. The electronic speed switch senses ignition pulses
from the 5 ohm ballast resistor terminal connected to the ignition control unit. When engine speed
exceeds 2000 RPM, the speed switch allows vacuum to energize the throttle positioner. When the
positioner is energized, a throttle stop provided, will prevent the engine from returning to the idle
position. When the throttle is released, it will return the idle to 1750 RPM. As the engine
decelerates, the electronic speed switch senses when the engine speed drops below 2000 RPM
and de-energizes the throttle positioner. This permits the throttle to return to the normal idle stop
position and the engine will continue to decelerate to the idle speed. This operation positions the
throttle partially open (1750 RPM) whenever the engine decelerates from a speed above 2000
RPM to a speed just below 2000 RPM, thus providing sufficient air flow through the engine to dilute
the air/fuel mixture.

Fig. 13 Unleaded fuel tank filler tube
The catalytic converter is used to oxidize hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the
exhaust system. The converter is constructed of a stainless steel shell containing two ceramic
monolithic elements which are coated with a catalytic agent, Fig. 12. The combustion type reaction
created by the catalyst releases additional heat in the exhaust system with temperatures up to
1600° F under normal operating conditions. This additional heat is needed for the catalyst to
function properly. Special heat shields are used to protect chassis components and other areas
from heat damage. Since the use of leaded fuels contaminates the catalysts, the use of unleaded
fuels is mandatory in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters. A smaller diameter fuel tank filler
tube is used to prevent the addition of leaded fuel into the fuel tank. In addition, a spring-loaded
valve, Fig. 13, which is opened by the unleaded fuel nozzle, prevents the addition of fuel by other
than the proper nozzle.

Power Window Switch: Testing and Inspection
Remove both power window switches from their trim panels and remove the wiring harness from
the back of each switch. Turn the ignition switch to the "run" position. Check for power and ground
by connecting a test light between the TN and WT wires at the left switch harness and between the
TN wire and ground of the right switch harness. If the test light does not illuminate or is dim, check
the circuit breaker, relay, and wiring to the switch.
Power Window Switch Test
To test left switch function, connect jumper wires as shown to the right switch harness. Connect
jumper wires as shown to the left switch harness forcing the windows to operate in each direction.
If the window motors operate properly, the left switch is defective. If the window motors do not
operate properly, the window motors or wiring may be defective. To test the right switch function,
connect a jumper wire between the WT and VT wires of the left window switch. Now connect a
jumper wire between the TN and PK wires of the right window switch. The right window should
move down. Disconnect the jumper wires and connect a jumper wire between the WT and PK
wires at the left window switch. Now connect a jumper wire between the TN and VT wires of the
right window switch. The right window should go up. If the window operates properly, the right
window switch is defective. If the window does not operate properly, the window motor or wiring
may be defective.

Description and Operation
Vacuum Gauge/Economy Meter: Description and Operation
Fig. 2 Typical vacuum gauge
This gauge measures intake manifold vacuum. The intake manifold vacuum varies with engine
operating conditions, carburetor adjustments, valve timing, ignition timing and general engine
condition. Since the optimum fuel economy is directly proportional to a properly functioning engine,
a high vacuum reading on the gauge relates to fuel economy. For this reason some manufacturers
call the vacuum gauge a "Fuel Economy Indicator." Most gauges have colored sectors the green
sector being the "Economy" range and the red the "Power" range. Therefore, the vehicle should be
operated with gauge registering in the green sector or a high numerical number for maximum
economy.
FUEL ECONOMY WARNING SYSTEM This system actually monitors the engine vacuum just like
the vacuum gauge, but all it registers is a low vacuum. The light on the instrument panel warns the
vehicle operator when engine manifold vacuum drops below the economical limit. Switch operation
is similar to that of the oil pressure indicating light, except that the switch opens when vacuum,
rather than oil pressure, is applied.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Fuel Economy Warning Light The fuel economy warning light should go on when the ignition is
turned on. If it does not light, disconnect the wire from the fuel economy vacuum switch connector
and ground the wire to the frame or cylinder block. If the warning light still does not go on, check for
burned out indicating bulb or an open in the harness between the vacuum switch and instrument
panel. If the warning light goes on, circuit is functioning and the vacuum switch should be checked
for proper ground. Remove and clean the mounting bracket screws and the mounting surfaces. If
system still does not operate, perform the following: With the electrical connector and vacuum tube
disconnected from the switch, connect a self-powered test light to the switch electrical connector
and to the vacuum gauge mounting bracket. Attach a vacuum pump to gauge (Rotunda Model No.
ZRE-10662 hand operated). If the following conditions are not met the switch has to be replaced:
1. With vacuum applied test light should be "Off". 2. With no vacuum to the vacuum switch test light
should be "On". 3. If the warning light remains lit when it normally should be out, check vacuum
hose to vacuum switch for damage or plugged condition.
Service and Repair
Maintenance Required Lamp/Indicator: Service and Repair

Choke Vacuum Kick The choice diaphragm adjustment controls the fuel delivery while the engine is
running. It positions the choke valve within the air horn by action of the linkage between the choke
shaft and the diaphragm. The diaphragm must be energized to measure the vacuum kick
adjustment. Vacuum can be supplied by an auxiliary vacuum source.
Choke Unloader (Wide Open Kick) The choke unloader is a mechanical device to partially open the
choke valve at wide open throttle. It is used to eliminate choke enrichment during cranking of an
engine. Engines which have been flooded or stalled by excessive choke enrichment can be cleared
by use of the unloader. Refer to carburetor adjustments for adjusting procedure. Fast Idle Speed
Fast idle engine speed is used to overcome cold engine friction, stalls after cold starts and stalls
because of carburetor icing. Refer to carburetor adjustments for procedure.
Fast Idle Cam Position This adjustment is used to provide cam stop speeds at proper times during
engine warmup. TSB 14-04-87 May 4, 1987 Publication #81-370-6007

gallon) has been released for all vehicles equipped with automatic transmission and lock-up torque
converter.
Aftermarket fluids can vary in terms of their friction characteristics and this in turn can affect the
performance of the lock-up clutch, causing shudder and/or excessive slippage. Use of the new fluid
will help to insure that the lock-up clutch will perform satisfactorily after the fluid has been replaced.
Type 7176 fluid should be used any time it is necessary to replace the fluid in a lock-up torque
converter equipped transmission.
If a lock-up shudder condition is encountered, check all linkage adjustments and drain and refill the
transmission with Type 7176 fluid prior to attempting any other repairs, especially if the fluid has
been changed previously.

On a new vehicle (under 300 miles/500 km) reduce RPM settings by 75 RPM. Tampering with the
carburetor is a violation of Federal law. Adjustment of the carburetor idle air fuel mixture can only
be done under certain circumstances as explained below. Upon completion of the adjustment, the
concealment plugs must be replaced. This procedure should only be used if an idle defect still
exists after normal diagnosis reveals no other faulty condition such as incorrect basis timing,
incorrect idle speed, faulty hose or wiring connections, etc. Adjustment of the carburetor air fuel
mixture should be performed after a major carburetor overhaul. (1)
Remove the concealment plug. Set the parking brake and place the transmission in neutral. Turn
all lights and accessories off. Connect a tachometer to the engine. Start the engine and allow it to
warm up on the second highest step of the fast idle cam until normal operating temperature is
reached. Return the engine to idle and turn off engine.
(2) Remove air cleaner, disconnect and plug the vacuum hoses at the EGR valve and ESA
computer. No vacuum is to be applied to the computer. Disconnect and plug canister purge hose at
canister.
(3) Disconnect carburetor electrical connector.
(4) Remove the PCV valve from the cylinder head cover and allow the valve to draw underhood air.
(5) Start and run engine.
(6) Disconnect the vacuum supply hose from the choke diaphragm at the carburetor and install the
propane supply hose in its place. Other connections at the tee must remain in place.
(7) With the propane bottle upright and in a safe location, open the propane main valve, Slowly
open the propane metering valve until the maximum engine rpm is reached. When too much
propane is added, engine rpm will decrease. "Fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest
engine rpm.
(8) With the propane still flowing, adjust the idle speed screw on the solenoid to obtain the correct
propane rpm. Again, "fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest engine rpm. If there has
been a change in the maximum rpm, readjust the idle speed screw to the specified propane rpm.
(9) Turn off the propane main valve and allow the engine speed to stabilize. Slowly adjust the
mixture screws by equal amounts, pausing between adjustments to allow engine speed to stabilize, to obtain the smoothest idle at the correct idle rpm. (10)
Turn on the propane main valve and "Fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest engine
rpm. If the maximum engine speed is more than 25
rpm different than the specified propane rpm, repeat steps 8 through 12.
(11) Turn off propane main and metering valves. Remove the propane supply hose and reinstall
the heated air sensor hose. Reinstall new concealment
plugs. Reconnect vacuum line on ESA, reconnect carburetor electrical connector. Perform the
Solenoid Idle Stop, Idle RPM, and Fast Idle Speed Adjustment Procedures.

Brake Drum: Service and Repair Brake Drum Refinishing
Fig 4 Eleven Inch Drum Maximum Diameter Identification
NOTE: All drums will show markings of maximum allowable diameter.
- For example: An eleven inch drum will have a marking of MAX. DIA. 11.090 inch.
- This marking includes 0.030 inch for allowable drum wear beyond the recommended 0.060 inch
of drum refacing.
NOTE: Any brake drum sufficiently out of round to cause vehicle vibration or noise while braking, or
showing taper should also be machined, removing only enough stock to true up the brake drum.
If the braking surface diameter is within specifications: Drums should be cleaned and inspected for
cracks, scores, deep grooves, taper, out of round and heat spotting. If drums are cracked or heat spotted, they must be replaced.
- Minor scores should be removed with sandpaper.
- Grooves and large scores can only be removed by machining with special equipment, as long as
the braking surface is within specifications stamped on brake drum outer surface.
MEASURING DRUM RUNOUT AND DIAMETER
NOTE: Measure the drum runout and diameter with an accurate gauge.
Maximum Variation There should be no variation in the drum diameter greater than 0.O9mm (0.004
in.).
Maximum Runout Drum runout should not exceed 0.20mm (0.008 in.) out of round. If the drum runout or diameter variation exceed these values the drum should be refaced.
Maximum Single Cut For best results in eliminating the irregularities that cause brake roughness
and surge, the amount of material removed during a single cut should be limited to 0.13mm (0.005
in.).
Final Cut When the entire braking surface has been cleaned a final cut of 0.0254mm (0.001 in.) will
assure a good drum surface, if the equipment used is capable of giving the precision required for
resurfacing brake drums. Deeper cuts are permissible for the sole purpose of removing deep score marks.
CAUTION: Do not reface more than 1.52mm (0.60 in.) over the standard drum diameter.

Customer concern for a "snap" or "clunk".
^ After medium-heavy brake application to a stop is completed.
^ When accelerating from a stop.
^ At the 1-2 upshift.
DIAGNOSIS
Description of Condition
Drive line "snap" is a single snap or clunk noise sometimes heard when braking to a forward stop
or accelerating from a stop. It is ordinarily heard just as a stop is completed, when the vehicle
transitions from the nose-down braking attitude to the level-stationary attitude. It may also be heard
just as motion begins on acceleration or at the 1-2 upshift.
Forward direction braking causes the rear axle pinion noise to pitch downward from brake torque
reaction. The vehicle also assumes an overall nose-down attitude. The combination of these
motions results in maximum rearward excursion of the prop shaft in the slip yoke. At the end of the
stopping maneuver, the prop shaft would ordinarily slide smoothly back into the slip yoke. The
characteristic "snap" occurs when the prop shaft momentarily binds in the rearward position, then
abruptly "snaps" forward to the neutral position.
PARTS REQUIRED

4. Remove and discard the slip yoke snap-on rubber seal.
5. Thoroughly clean all old grease out of the slip yoke and driveshaft splines with a suitable solvent.
6. After cleaning the slip yoke in solvent, clean the cup plug vent hole area with Mopar Brake and
Carburetor Cleaner, PN 4318037. Seal the vent hole with an epoxy (2 part) cement (Duro Depend

Description and Operation
Speedometer Head: Description and Operation
The following material covers only that service on speedometers which is feasible to perform.
Repairs on the units themselves are not included as they require special tools and extreme care
when making repairs and adjustments that only an experienced speedometer mechanic should
attempt. The speedometer has two main parts, the speedometer head and the speedometer drive
cable. When the speedometer fails to indicate speed or mileage, the cable or cable housing is
probably broken.
SPEEDOMETER CABLE
Most cables are broken due to lack of lubrication, or a sharp bend or kink in the housing. A cable
might break because of the speedometer head mechanism binds. In such cases, the speedometer
head should be repaired or replaced before a new cable or housing is installed. A "jumpy" pointer
condition, together with a scraping noise, is due, in most instances, to a dry or kinked speedometer
cable. The kinked cable rubs on the housing and winds up, slowing down the pointer. The cable
then unwinds and the pointer "jumps." To check for kinks, remove the cable, lay it on a flat surface
and twist one end with the fingers. If it turns over smoothly the cable is not kinked. But if part of the
cable flops over as it is twisted, the cable is kinked and should be replaced.
LUBRICATION The speedometer cable should be lubricated with special cable lubricant. Fill the
ferrule on the upper end of the housing with the cable lubricant. Insert the cable in the housing,
starting at the upper end. Turn the cable around carefully while feeding it into the housing. Repeat
filling the ferrule except for the last six inches of cable. Too much lubricant at this point may cause
the lubricant to work into the speedometer head.
INSTALLING CABLE During installation, if the cable sticks when inserted in the housing and will
not go through, the housing is damaged inside or kinked. Be sure to check the housing from one
end to the other. Straighten any sharp bends by relocating clamps or elbows. Replace housing if it
is badly kinked or broken. Position the cable and housing so that they lead into the head as straight
as possible. Check the new cable for kinks before installing it. Use wide, sweeping, gradual curves
where the cable comes out of the transmission and connects to the head so the cable will not be
damaged during installation. Arrange the housing so it does not lean against the engine because
heat from the engine may dry out the lubricant. If inspection indicates that the cable and housing
are in good condition, yet pointer action is erratic, check the speedometer head for possible
binding. The speedometer drive pinion should also be checked. If the pinion is dry or its teeth are
stripped, the speedometer may not register properly.

Power Door Lock Relay: Testing and Inspection
To test the relay, move either of the front lock knobs to the lock and unlock positions. An audible
clicking sound should be heard from under the dash near the steering column support. If the sound
is heard while operating one knob but not the other, a defective switch or wiring may be at fault. If a
clicking sound is not heard, locate the relay and test as follows:
1. Check for power by back probing the LG wire at the relay.
^ If power is present, go to step 2.
^ If power is not present, check the circuit breaker and the wire between the relay and the circuit
breaker.
2. Back probe the OR wire at the relay and move the lock knob to the lock position. Battery voltage
should be momentarily present, indicating that
the relay operates in the lock position. ^
If power is present go to step 4.
^ If power is not present, go to step 3.
3. Backprobe the VT wire and move the lock knob to the lock position.
^ If power is present, the relay is defective.
^ If power is not present, the door switch or wiring may be defective.
4. Backprobe the LB wire at the relay and move the lock knob to the unlock position. Battery
voltage should be momentarily present, indicating that
the relay operates in the unlock position. ^
If power is present, the relay is operating properly.
^ If power is not present, go to step 5.
5. Backprobe the LG wire and move the lock knob to the unlock position.
^ If power is present, the relay is defective.
^ If power is not present, the door switch or wiring may be defective.

Positive Crankcase Ventilation: Description and Operation
POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM (Typical).
This system is used to eliminate emission of residual fumes and vapors from the crankcase by
directing these fumes back through the combustion chamber. When the engine is running, air is
drawn by manifold vacuum from the air cleaner through a hose, to the crankcase inlet air cleaner.
From the crankcase inlet air cleaner, the air mixes with vapors in the rocker arm chamber and
crankcase, and then drawn up through the PCV valve in the cylinder head cover to a hose
connected to either the intake manifold or carburetor hose.

About Brake System Bleeding
Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair About Brake System Bleeding
WHEN BLEEDING BRAKES REMEMBER...
- Brake fluid will remove paint and damage electrical connections. Use a drip pan and fender
covers to protect the vehicle's finish and electrical system.
- Always flush and bleed the brake hydraulic sys. when servicing the brakes, because:
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, after 3-4 years of service the water content of the brake
fluid may be as high as 6-7%. This significantly reduces the boiling point of the brake fluid which
may result in a soft pedal or brake failure during prolonged or severe braking. Corrosion deposits
and other contaminants gradually build up inside of the brake hydraulic sys. Check the bottom of
the master-cylinder reservoir for a build up of fine black silt. If any is present the brake fluid should
be flushed.
- Never reuse brake fluid that has been drained from the brake system.
DOT 3,4 or DOT 5
As a general rule DOT 5 brake fluid should not be used in vehicles recommending DOT 3 or 4 type
fluid.
DOT 5 brake fluid is silicone based. DOT 3 (standard) and DOT 4 (heavy-duty) are glycol-based.
DOT 5 can be distinguished from conventional brake fluids by its purple color (which comes from a
dye).
DOT 5 silicone brake fluid won't mix with glycol-based brake fluid (creating concern over sludging if
all old fluid isn't removed when a system is refilled with silicone).
Silicone does not absorb moisture. DOT 5 brake fluid does not become contaminated with moisture
over time as conventional DOT 3 and 4 brake fluids do. Silicone is also chemically inert, nontoxic
and won't damage paint like conventional brake fluid. It also has a higher boiling point.
Because of this, it is often marketed as a premium "lifetime" brake fluid. It is often used to preserve
brake systems in antique vehicles and those that sit for long periods of time between use.
Silicone also has slightly different physical properties and compressibility, making it unsuitable for
ABS systems calibrated to work with DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid.

Fig. 13 Unleaded fuel tank filler tube
The catalytic converter is used to oxidize hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the
exhaust system. The converter is constructed of a stainless steel shell containing two ceramic
monolithic elements which are coated with a catalytic agent, Fig. 12. The combustion type reaction
created by the catalyst releases additional heat in the exhaust system with temperatures up to
1600° F under normal operating conditions. This additional heat is needed for the catalyst to
function properly. Special heat shields are used to protect chassis components and other areas
from heat damage. Since the use of leaded fuels contaminates the catalysts, the use of unleaded
fuels is mandatory in vehicles equipped with catalytic converters. A smaller diameter fuel tank filler
tube is used to prevent the addition of leaded fuel into the fuel tank. In addition, a spring-loaded
valve, Fig. 13, which is opened by the unleaded fuel nozzle, prevents the addition of fuel by other
than the proper nozzle.

Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Testing and Inspection Proportioning Valve Testing
Fig 3 Testing Proportioning Section Of Combination Valve
Symptom Premature rear wheel slide on brake application could be an indication that the fluid
pressure to the rear brakes is above the reduction ratio for the rear line pressure and that a
malfunction has occurred in the proportioning valve unit. If this symptom is experienced the proportioning valve should be tested.
NOTE: During testing, leave front brake lines connected to the valve.
Proportioning Valve Unit Test
1. Install one gauge and "T" of set C-4007A or equivalent, between brake line from master cylinder
secondary port and brake valve assembly. 2. Install a second gauge to the rear brake outlet port
between the valve assembly and the rear brake line.
- An adaptor tube, made up locally of a 9/16 x 18 tube nut, short piece of brake tube and 3/8 x 24
tube nut will be required to connect the hose to the valve.
3. Bleed the rear brake system. 4. Have a helper exert and hold pressure on the brake pedal to get
a reading on the valve inlet gauge and check the reading on the outlet gauge.
- If the inlet and outlet pressures do not agree with the values on the following chart, replace the
valve.
5. Valve assemblies for all models are shipped in the front failed position to improve bleeding.
- When installing a new valve, bleed the rear brakes first.
- After bleeding both front and rear systems, applying the brakes with moderate force will
hydraulically reset the switch and turn off the warning light.

Symptom/Condition, Diagnosis & Parts Information
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.

gallon) has been released for all vehicles equipped with automatic transmission and lock-up torque
converter.
Aftermarket fluids can vary in terms of their friction characteristics and this in turn can affect the
performance of the lock-up clutch, causing shudder and/or excessive slippage. Use of the new fluid
will help to insure that the lock-up clutch will perform satisfactorily after the fluid has been replaced.
Type 7176 fluid should be used any time it is necessary to replace the fluid in a lock-up torque
converter equipped transmission.
If a lock-up shudder condition is encountered, check all linkage adjustments and drain and refill the
transmission with Type 7176 fluid prior to attempting any other repairs, especially if the fluid has
been changed previously.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Testing and Inspection
A hinged float arm in the fuel tank contacts a variable resistor in the gauge sending unit. The
varying resistance in the fuel gauge circuit registers on the instrument panel gauge. Resistance in
the circuit is lowest when the fuel tank is full and float arm is raised. The resulting high current flow
causes the instrument panel gauge to indicate Full.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Disconnect electrical connector from fuel tank sending unit and attach connector to a known
good sending unit. 2. Connect a jumper wire between sending unit fuel pickup tube and a good
ground. 3. Secure sending unit float arm in the empty stop position and turn ignition On. Within two
minutes, the gauge should read Empty, plus one pointer
width or minus two pointer widths.
4. Move float arm and secure in the full stop position. Within two minutes, the gauge should read
Full, plus two pointer widths, or minus one pointer
width.
5. If fuel gauge does not operate as specified, check the following:
a. Wiring and electrical connections between sending unit and connector. b. Wiring and electrical
connections between connector and printed circuit board terminals. c. Circuit continuity between
printed circuit board terminals and gauge terminals. d. Voltage limiter performance.
6. If fuel gauge operates as specified with known good sending unit, check fuel tank and original
sending unit as follows:
a. Remove sending unit from fuel tank. b. Connect sending unit wire and jumper wire as previously
described. c. If fuel gauge now operates as specified, check sending unit for damage, obstructions
or improper installation and correct as necessary.

When installing piston and rod assemblies in the cylinders, the compression ring gaps should be
diametrically opposite one another and not in line with the oil ring gap. The oil ring expander gap
should be toward the outside of the ``V'' of the engine. The oil ring gap should be turned toward the
inside of the engine ``V''.
Immerse the piston head and rings in clean engine oil and, with a suitable piston ring compressor,
insert the piston and rod assembly into the bore. Tap the piston down into the bore, using the
handle of a hammer.
Assemble and install the pistons and rods as shown in Fig. 20.

Air/Fuel Mixture: Adjustments Idle Mixture (Propane Method)
Fig. 1 Propane enrichment specification chart
EXC. 1985 MODELS This procedure should only be used after normal diagnosis has revealed no
other faults, or if carburetor has been overhauled. Idle mixture adjustment requires artificial
propane enrichment. A propane enrichment tool, C-4464 or equivalent, must be used to adjust idle
mixture. Before proceeding, make sure that propane cylinder is adequately filled to ensure correct
propane flow.
1. Remove concealment plug or limiter cap from mixture adjusting screw. Refer to appropriate
carburetor section.
2. Set parking brake and place transmission in Neutral position.
3. Turn off all lights and accessories, then connect tachometer.
4. Start engine and allow to reach normal operating temperature.
5. Disconnect and plug vacuum hose at EGR valve, ESA computer and distributor, as required.
6. On models equipped with carburetor ground switch, connect jumper wire between switch and
ground.
7. On models not equipped with Spark Control Computer (SCC), disconnect and plug vacuum hose
from carburetor at heated air temperature sensor and OSAC valve, if equipped, then remove air
cleaner.
8. On models with SCC, air cleaner cannot be removed but may be propped up.
9. Disconnect vacuum hose from heated air door or choke diaphragm, except as listed below, and
connect hose from metering valve on enrichment tool to fitting.
10. Remove PCV valve from cylinder head cover and allow to draw underhood air.
11. Disconnect plug control hose at canister.
12. On models equipped with oxygen sensor feedback, disconnect electrical connector from
oxygen sensor and ground connector. Remove and plug vacuum hose at vacuum transducer on
SCC, then install suitable vacuum pump to vacuum transducer, apply 16 inches of vacuum, and
allow engine to run for two minutes.
13. On models without oxygen sensor feedback, allow engine to run for one minute.
14. On all models, open main propane valve fully. Slowly open propane metering valve until
maximum idle RPM is obtained. Too much propane will cause engine speed to drop. Adjust
metering valve to obtain maximum idle RPM.
15. With propane flowing, adjust idle speed to specified enriched RPM, Fig. 1, by turning idle speed
screw.
16. Adjust metering valve to obtain maximum RPM. If there has been a change in maximum RPM,
readjust idle speed screw to specified enriched RPM.
17. Turn off main propane valve and allow engine speed to stabilize.
18. Adjust mixture screws to obtain smoothest idle at specified curb idle RPM, allowing time
between adjustments for engine speed to stabilize.
19. Turn on main propane valve and adjust metering valve to obtain maximum engine RPM. If
maximum engine speed differs by more than 25 RPM from specified enriched RPM, repeat steps
15 through 20.
20. When adjustment is correct, turn off both propane valves, stop engine and remove tool.
21. Install concealment plug, if equipped, then perform ``Curb Idle Speed, Adjust'' and ``Fast Idle
Speed, Adjust'' procedure.

Remove the trim panel(s) to gain access to the window motor. Disconnect the wire connector from
the motor. Remove the rivets that secure the regulator to the inner door panel. Remove the screw
that holds the window motor tie down bracket to the inner door panel (if equipped). Manually move
the regulator assembly to disengage the regulator slider from the glass lift channel. Secure the
window glass in the up position with several straps of duct tape looped over the window frame.
Remove the regulator through the door access hole.
If window motor needs to be removed from the regulator, secure the regulator in a vise to prevent
the sector gear from moving.[1] Remove three motor attaching screws and remove window motor
from the regulator.
[1] WARNING:If the sector gear is not properly secured to prevent movement, the counter balance
spring will cause the regulator arm to move rapidly when the window motor is removed from the
regulator. This may cause personal injury.
Installation
Install window motor to regulator using original mounting screws. Inspect the sector gear teeth and
window motor teeth for proper mesh. Remove the regulator assembly from the vise and insert
through the door access panel. Manually position the regulator arm slide in the window lift channel.
Secure the regulator assembly to the inner door panel using either new rivets or matching nut, bolt,
and washer sets. Install screw to motor tie down bracket (if equipped). Connect motor wiring to
harness and test system for proper operation.

Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

1. Connect voltmeter between temperature sending unit (locating in fitting in bottom radiator tank)
and a suitable ground. Do not disconnect
electrical connector from sending unit.
2. Turn ignition switch to On position and observe voltmeter. 3. If voltmeter needle fluctuates, the
voltage limiter is operating properly. 4. If voltmeter does not fluctuate, replace voltage limiter. The
voltage limiter is located on the sensor panel. To gain access to the limiter,
remove panel and unsnap the back cover.
TEMPERATURE GAUGE TEST
1. Disconnect electrical connector from temperature sending unit in lower radiator tank. 2. Connect
tester No. C-3826 or equivalent between temperature sending unit and a suitable ground. 3. Move
tester pointer to "C" position, then turn ignition switch On and observe temperature gauge.
Temperature gauge should read within 1/8 inch
of "C".
4. Move tester pointer to "M" position. Temperature gauge should now advance to normal range
left of 1/2 position on dial. 5. Move tester pointer to "H" position. Temperature gauge should now
advance to "H" position on dial. 6. If temperature gauge responds to tests described in steps 3, 4
and 5, but does not operate when sending unit electrical connector is attached, the
sending unit is defective and should be replaced.
7. If temperature gauge does not respond to tests described in steps 3, 4 and 5, check for loose
connections, broken wire, open printed circuit or
faulty gauge.

Brake Master Cylinder: Testing and Inspection
INSPECTION
Inspect for Leakage
NOTE: The master-cylinder should be cleaned thoroughly prior to inspection (several days
preferably). Spilled brake fluid can be easily confused with leakage.
Piston Seals Leakage around the piston seals will seep out from the end of the cylinder and leak down the
outside of the brake booster.
- Inspect for signs of seepage or bubbled paint on the brake booster.
- If any leakage is detected the master-cylinder should be replaced or overhauled
Brake Line Fittings While someone is applying pressure to the brake pedal, inspect the brake line fittings on the
master-cylinder for leakage.
- If the fittings are leaking they should be disassembled and inspected.
Reservoir to Cylinder Gasket Inspect the gasket for signs of leakage or hardening and cracking.
Overhaul or replace the master-cylinder if any leakage is indicated.
Inspect for Oil Contamination.
- Inspect the rubber gasket on the inside of the master-cylinder lid. If the gasket is swollen or
bloated, the brake fluid is contaminated with oil.
- Siphon or scoop a small amount of brake fluid out of the master-cylinder and place into a
styrofoam cup filled 2/3 of the way with water. Brake fluid will mix with the water while oil
contaminants will float on the surface and dissolve the styrofoam.
NOTE: If any oil contamination is present ALL brake components containing rubber seals will need
to be replaced or overhauled. This includes the master-cylinder, both front calipers, both rear wheel
cylinders, and all flexible brake hoses.
Verify Hold-Down Bolts Are Tight
- While someone is applying and releasing pressure to the brake pedal, verify the the
master-cylinder is tightly secured to the brake booster.
Retighten hold-down bolts if necessary.
Functional Checks
WARNING: Always bleed the entire brake system and verify the rear brakes are properly adjusted
prior to diagnosing a master-cylinder as defective. For additional information on master-cylinder /
brake pedal relationship see Fundamentals and Basics. See: Fundamentals and Basics
Check Related Systems -
Check for proper brake booster operation 1. With the engine "OFF", depress and release the brake
pedal 4-5 times (this bleeds off the vacuum reserve in the booster). 2. Depress the brake pedal
firmly and start the engine.
If the pedal goes down slightly the brake booster is assisting in brake operation. If the pedal does
not go down slightly the brake booster is not assisting in brake operation and should be diagnosed
for problems.
- Check and adjust rear brakes.
- Check all brake lines and brake assemblies for leakage.
Repair all deficiencies with related systems prior to diagnosing the master-cylinder as defective.
Check Brake Pedal Travel (Non-Antilock Brake Systems Only) Fully depress the brake pedal and check for the following: The pedal should have a 75% reserve.

Master Cylinder Bleeding
Brake Master Cylinder: Service and Repair Master Cylinder Bleeding
Bench Bleeding
For additional information see Bench Bleeding Notes. See: Fundamentals and Basics
Fig 3 Bench Bleeding Master Cylinder
NOTE: It is not necessary to bleed the entire hydraulic system after replacing the master cylinder if
the master cylinder has been bench bled and refilled prior to installation.
1. Clamp master cylinder in vise and attach bleeding tubes. 2. Fill both reservoirs with approved
brake fluid. 3. Using a brass rod or wooden dowel, depress push rod slowly and then allow pistons
to return under pressure of springs. 4. Repeat several times until all air bubbles are expelled. 5.
Remove bleeding tubes from cylinder, plug outlets and install caps. 6. Remove from vise and install
master cylinder on vehicle.
Pressure Bleeding
WITHOUT ABS
1. Clean all dirt and foreign material from the cover of the master cylinder to prevent dirt from falling
into the master cylinder reservoir when the
cover is removed.
NOTE: Using the one-man Bleeder Tank C-3496B (with adaptor C-4578) provides a convenient
means for pressurizing the hydraulic system for bleeding. Follow the manufacturers instructions in
the use of the bleeder tools.
NOTE: Complete bleeding of dual master cylinder is important before performing this procedure!
2. Starting with the right rear wheel, clean all dirt from the bleeder valve. 3. Place bleeder hose on
the bleeder valve and insert the other end of the bleeder hose into a clear jar half filled with clean
brake fluid. This will
permit the observation of air bubbles as they are being expelled from the hydraulic system and also
prevent air from being drawn back into the system.
4. Continue this bleeding with:
a. The left rear wheel. b. Next, bleed the right front. c. Finish with the left front wheel.
5. Repeat this bleeding procedure if there is any indication of air remaining in the hydraulic system:
- Spongy brake pedal
- Warning light ON
Gravity Bleed: Remove master cylinder reservoir cover and gasket, then fill reservoirs with
approved brake fluid. Open disc brake bleeder screws, and allow fluid and air to drain until stream
of fluid is free of air.
Pedal Bleed: Follow normal procedure of pumping pedal and opening bleeder screws. Do not
pump master cylinder dry!
NOTE: If diagnosis determines that master cylinder alone is cause of trouble, it can be replaced
without bleeding the hydraulic system provided the replacement cylinder is completely bled before
installation. After brake tubes are connected have helper apply force to pedal while both tube nuts
are

Steering Gear: Testing and Inspection
Fig. 10 Adjusting steering gear mesh
1. Fill reservoir to level mark. 2. Connect test hoses to hydraulic pump on car with pressure gauge
installed between pump and steering gear to register pressures. 3. Start engine and operate at idle
to bring steering gear to normal operating temperature. 4. Center the valve until unit is not self
steering. Tap valve body retaining screw heads to move valve body up on steering housing, or tap
end plug to
move valve body down.
5. Rotate worm shaft through range of travel to bleed air from system, then refill reservoir. 6. With
steering gear on center, tighten sector shaft adjusting screw until backlash is removed from
steering arm. If the power train was removed,
tighten adjusting screw an additional 11/4 turns, then tighten locknut.
7. Operate unit through several cycles, aligning piston rack and sector teeth. 8. With gear on
center, readjust sector shaft backlash. Loosen adjusting screw until backlash is present, then
tighten adjusting screw until backlash is
removed. Tighten adjusting screw an additional 3/8 to 1/2 turn and torque lock nut to 28 ft lb
9. Ensure torque at sector shaft required to turn unit through center at 2 RPM in each direction,
starting from a point at least one full turn of the worm
shaft to either side of center does not exceed 20 ft lb or vary more than 5 ft lb from left to right.
Adjust valve to equalize torque in both directions, then torque valve body adjusting screw to 200
inch lbs.
10. With gear fully deflected in either direction, attempt to center unit by applying torque torque
wrench at steering gear shaft. Hold worm shaft until
sector shaft torque reaches 50 ft lb, then release worm shaft and maintain a steady pull at 2 RPM
on the gear shaft. If sector shaft torque does not drop to 20 ft lb or less at the unit passes through
center, check for excessive internal drag, binding spool valve or tight sector shaft adjustment.
11. Ensure, with unit under power and no load applied, torque required to rotate worm shaft 90
degrees to either side of center at 6 RPM is 6 - 10 inch
lbs.

Ammeter Gauge: Testing and Inspection
The ammeter is an instrument used to indicate current flow into and out of the battery. When
electrical accessories in the vehicle draw more current than the alternator can supply, current flows
from the battery, and the ammeter indicates a discharge ( - ) condition. When electrical loads of the
vehicle are less than alternator output, current is available to charge the battery, and the ammeter
indicates a charge (+) condition. If battery is fully charged, the voltage regulator reduces alternator
output to meet only immediate vehicle electrical loads. When this happens, ammeter reads zero.
Fig. 1 Typical conventional type ammeter
CONVENTIONAL AMMETER A conventional ammeter must be connected between the battery
and alternator in order to indicate current flow. This type ammeter consists of a frame to which a
permanent magnet is attached. The frame also supports an armature and pointer assembly.
Current in this system flows from the alternator through the ammeter, then to the battery or from
the battery through the ammeter into the vehicle electrical system, depending on vehicle operating
conditions. When no current flows through the ammeter, the magnet holds the pointer armature so
that the pointer stands at the center of the dial. When current passes in either direction through the
ammeter, the resulting magnetic field attracts the armature away from the effect of the permanent
magnet, thus giving a reading proportional to the strength of the current flowing.
Troubleshooting When the ammeter apparently fails to register correctly, there may be trouble in
the wiring which connects the ammeter to the alternator and battery or in the alternator or battery
itself. To check the connections, first tighten the two terminal posts on the back of the ammeter.
Then, following each wire from the ammeter, tighten all connections on the ignition switch, battery
and alternator. Chafed, burned or broken insulation can be found by following each ammeter wire
from end to end. All wires with chafed, burned or broken insulation should be repaired or replaced.
After this is done, and all connections are tightened, connect the battery cable and turn on the
ignition switch. The needle should point slightly to the discharge ( - ) side. Start the engine and run
slightly above idling speed. The needle should move slowly to the charge side (+). If the pointer
does not move as indicated, the ammeter is out of order and should be replaced.
SHUNT TYPE AMMETER The shunt type ammeter is actually a specifically calibrated voltmeter. If
it connected to read voltage drop across a resistance wire (shunt) between the battery and
alternator. The shunt is located either in the vehicle wiring or within the ammeter itself. When
voltage is higher at the alternator end of the shunt, the meter indicates a charge (+) condition.
When voltage is higher at the battery end of the shunt, the meter indicates a discharge ( - )
condition. When voltage is equal at both ends of the shunt, the meter reads zero.
Troubleshooting Ammeter accuracy can be determined by comparing reading with an ammeter of
known accuracy.
1. With engine stopped and ignition switch in RUN position, switch on headlamps and heater fan.
Meter should indicate a discharge ( - ) condition. 2. If ammeter pointer does not move, check
ammeter terminals for proper connection and check for open circuit in wiring harness. If
connections and
wiring harness are satisfactory, ammeter is defective.
3. If ammeter indicates a charge (+) condition, wiring harness connections are reversed at
ammeter.

Window Regulator: Testing and Inspection
Power Window Motor/Regulator Test To test an individual window motor, remove the door trim
panel(s) to gain access to the window motor. Disconnect the window motor wire connector. Using a
test battery, connect a jumper wire between the positive terminal of the battery and one of the
window motor terminals. Using a jumper wire, momentarily connect the other window motor
terminal to the negative terminal. The motor should now rotate causing the window to go either up
or down.[1] Reverseing the battery leads to the opposite terminals should make the window move
in the opposite direction. Check for smooth window operation through the entire window travel. If
the window does not move, remove the window motor for further testing and/or repairs. If the
window does move but not smoothly, check for a binding window track or regulator.
Remarks
[1] If the window is already in either the full up or full down positions, it will not move any further in
that direction.

Description and Operation
Clock: Description and Operation
Regulation of electric clocks is accomplished automatically by resetting the time. If the clock is
running fast, the action of turning the hands back to correct the time will automatically cause the
clock to run slightly slower. If the clock is running slow, the action of turning the hands forward to
correct the time will automatically cause the clock to run slightly faster (10 to 15 seconds day). A
lock-out feature prevents the clock regulator mechanism from being reset more than once per wind
cycle, regardless of the number of times the time is reset. After the clock rewinds, if the time is then
reset, automatic regulation will take place. If a clock varies over 10 minutes per day, it will never
adjust properly and must be repaired or replaced.
WINDING CLOCK WHEN CONNECTING BATTERY OR CLOCK WIRING The clock requires
special attention when reconnecting a battery that has been disconnected for any reason, a clock
that has been disconnected, or when replacing a blown clock fuse. It is very important that the
initial wind be fully made. The procedure is as follows:
1. Make sure that all other instruments and lights are turned off. 2. Connect positive cable to
battery. 3. Before connecting the negative cable, press the terminal to its post on the battery.
Immediately afterward, strike the terminal against the battery
post to see if there is a spark. If there is a spark, allow the clock to run down until it stops ticking,
and repeat as above until there is no spark. Then immediately make the permanent connection
before the clock can again run down. The clock will run down in approximately two minutes.
4. Reset clock after all connections have been made. The foregoing procedure should also be
followed when reconnecting the clock after it has been
disconnected, or if it has stopped because of a blown fuse. Be sure to disconnect battery before
installing a new fuse.
TROUBLESHOOTING If clock does not run, check for blown "clock" fuse. If fuse is blown, check
for short in wiring. If fuse is not blown, check for open circuit. With an electric clock, the most
frequent cause of clock fuse blowing is voltage at the clock which will prevent a complete wind and
allow clock contacts to remain closed. This may be caused by any of the following: discharged
battery, corrosion on contact surface of battery terminals, loose connections at battery terminals, at
junction block, at fuse clips, or at terminal connection of clock. Therefore, if in reconnecting battery
or clock it is noted that the clock is not ticking, always check for blown fuse, or examine the circuits
at the points indicated above to determine and correct the cause.

Brake Caliper: Fundamentals and Basics Installation Notes
WHEN INSTALLING CALIPERS AND PADS, REMEMBER...
- Clean and lubricate caliper slide joint/pins with high temperature silicone grease:
Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes do not utilize a spring to withdraw the pads/linings when the brake
pedal is released. Disc brakes rely on the elasticity of the piston seals, and the unrestricted
movement of the caliper slide assemblies to release the brakes.
If the slide joints/pins are not cleaned and lubricated properly the disc brake linings will drag upon
the release of the brake pedal. This will result in overheated brakes and premature brake wear.
Disc Brake Mechanical Force Diagram
NOTE: Floating calipers require free and unrestricted movement on the caliper mounting. Floating
or sliding calipers have pistons only on one side of the rotor. The first part of the piston's travel
forces the inner pad against the rotor, then further travel forces the movable part of the caliper to
pull the outer pad against the rotor.
High temperature silicone lubricant must be used. Low temperature grease can melt and
contaminate the pads and rotors, or can bake into a very hard substance which binds the slides.
Petroleum based grease can cause the slide boots to soften and swell.
- Work on one side at a time. If you forget how to reassemble the parts you can always use the
other side as a model.
Anti-squeal Coating
- Apply an anti-squeal coating to the back side of the pads/linings. This coatings acts as an
insulator to dampen high frequency vibrations that are generated during normal braking. These
compounds are highly effective in preventing brake squeal.
- Many professional repair shops recommend always rebuilding or replacing the calipers when
replacing the brake linings, because:
When the pistons are forced back into the calipers, the piston seals are dragged across any
corrosion or abrasives that may be deposited on the inside of the caliper.
Damage to the seals may not be initially evident. As the new brake linings begin to wear, the piston
is gradually withdrawn from the caliper. This results in the piston seals again being dragged across
the layer of corrosion and deposits.

Air/Fuel Mixture: Adjustments Idle Mixture (Propane Method)
Fig. 1 Propane enrichment specification chart
EXC. 1985 MODELS This procedure should only be used after normal diagnosis has revealed no
other faults, or if carburetor has been overhauled. Idle mixture adjustment requires artificial
propane enrichment. A propane enrichment tool, C-4464 or equivalent, must be used to adjust idle
mixture. Before proceeding, make sure that propane cylinder is adequately filled to ensure correct
propane flow.
1. Remove concealment plug or limiter cap from mixture adjusting screw. Refer to appropriate
carburetor section.
2. Set parking brake and place transmission in Neutral position.
3. Turn off all lights and accessories, then connect tachometer.
4. Start engine and allow to reach normal operating temperature.
5. Disconnect and plug vacuum hose at EGR valve, ESA computer and distributor, as required.
6. On models equipped with carburetor ground switch, connect jumper wire between switch and
ground.
7. On models not equipped with Spark Control Computer (SCC), disconnect and plug vacuum hose
from carburetor at heated air temperature sensor and OSAC valve, if equipped, then remove air
cleaner.
8. On models with SCC, air cleaner cannot be removed but may be propped up.
9. Disconnect vacuum hose from heated air door or choke diaphragm, except as listed below, and
connect hose from metering valve on enrichment tool to fitting.
10. Remove PCV valve from cylinder head cover and allow to draw underhood air.
11. Disconnect plug control hose at canister.
12. On models equipped with oxygen sensor feedback, disconnect electrical connector from
oxygen sensor and ground connector. Remove and plug vacuum hose at vacuum transducer on
SCC, then install suitable vacuum pump to vacuum transducer, apply 16 inches of vacuum, and
allow engine to run for two minutes.
13. On models without oxygen sensor feedback, allow engine to run for one minute.
14. On all models, open main propane valve fully. Slowly open propane metering valve until
maximum idle RPM is obtained. Too much propane will cause engine speed to drop. Adjust
metering valve to obtain maximum idle RPM.
15. With propane flowing, adjust idle speed to specified enriched RPM, Fig. 1, by turning idle speed
screw.
16. Adjust metering valve to obtain maximum RPM. If there has been a change in maximum RPM,
readjust idle speed screw to specified enriched RPM.
17. Turn off main propane valve and allow engine speed to stabilize.
18. Adjust mixture screws to obtain smoothest idle at specified curb idle RPM, allowing time
between adjustments for engine speed to stabilize.
19. Turn on main propane valve and adjust metering valve to obtain maximum engine RPM. If
maximum engine speed differs by more than 25 RPM from specified enriched RPM, repeat steps
15 through 20.
20. When adjustment is correct, turn off both propane valves, stop engine and remove tool.
21. Install concealment plug, if equipped, then perform ``Curb Idle Speed, Adjust'' and ``Fast Idle
Speed, Adjust'' procedure.

Air/Fuel Mixture: Adjustments Idle Mixture (Propane Method)
Fig. 1 Propane enrichment specification chart
EXC. 1985 MODELS This procedure should only be used after normal diagnosis has revealed no
other faults, or if carburetor has been overhauled. Idle mixture adjustment requires artificial
propane enrichment. A propane enrichment tool, C-4464 or equivalent, must be used to adjust idle
mixture. Before proceeding, make sure that propane cylinder is adequately filled to ensure correct
propane flow.
1. Remove concealment plug or limiter cap from mixture adjusting screw. Refer to appropriate
carburetor section.
2. Set parking brake and place transmission in Neutral position.
3. Turn off all lights and accessories, then connect tachometer.
4. Start engine and allow to reach normal operating temperature.
5. Disconnect and plug vacuum hose at EGR valve, ESA computer and distributor, as required.
6. On models equipped with carburetor ground switch, connect jumper wire between switch and
ground.
7. On models not equipped with Spark Control Computer (SCC), disconnect and plug vacuum hose
from carburetor at heated air temperature sensor and OSAC valve, if equipped, then remove air
cleaner.
8. On models with SCC, air cleaner cannot be removed but may be propped up.
9. Disconnect vacuum hose from heated air door or choke diaphragm, except as listed below, and
connect hose from metering valve on enrichment tool to fitting.
10. Remove PCV valve from cylinder head cover and allow to draw underhood air.
11. Disconnect plug control hose at canister.
12. On models equipped with oxygen sensor feedback, disconnect electrical connector from
oxygen sensor and ground connector. Remove and plug vacuum hose at vacuum transducer on
SCC, then install suitable vacuum pump to vacuum transducer, apply 16 inches of vacuum, and
allow engine to run for two minutes.
13. On models without oxygen sensor feedback, allow engine to run for one minute.
14. On all models, open main propane valve fully. Slowly open propane metering valve until
maximum idle RPM is obtained. Too much propane will cause engine speed to drop. Adjust
metering valve to obtain maximum idle RPM.
15. With propane flowing, adjust idle speed to specified enriched RPM, Fig. 1, by turning idle speed
screw.
16. Adjust metering valve to obtain maximum RPM. If there has been a change in maximum RPM,
readjust idle speed screw to specified enriched RPM.
17. Turn off main propane valve and allow engine speed to stabilize.
18. Adjust mixture screws to obtain smoothest idle at specified curb idle RPM, allowing time
between adjustments for engine speed to stabilize.
19. Turn on main propane valve and adjust metering valve to obtain maximum engine RPM. If
maximum engine speed differs by more than 25 RPM from specified enriched RPM, repeat steps
15 through 20.
20. When adjustment is correct, turn off both propane valves, stop engine and remove tool.
21. Install concealment plug, if equipped, then perform ``Curb Idle Speed, Adjust'' and ``Fast Idle
Speed, Adjust'' procedure.

ALL V8 ENGINES EXC. V8-446 (7.3L)
When installing piston and rod assemblies in the cylinders, the compression ring gaps should be
diametrically opposite one another and not in line with the oil ring gap. The oil ring expander gap
should be toward the outside of the ``V'' of the engine. The oil ring gap should be turned toward the
inside of the engine ``V''.
Immerse the piston head and rings in clean engine oil and, with a suitable piston ring compressor,
insert the piston and rod assembly into the bore. Tap the piston down into the bore, using the
handle of a hammer.
Assemble and install the pistons and rods as shown in Fig. 20.

Before disassembling, mark piston on same side as large chamfer on connecting rod, so they can
be assembled in the same position. New pistons may be installed either way on connecting rod,
Fig. 21.
When installing piston in engine the large chamfered side of each connecting rod must be located
against the crankshaft face. The chamfer provides clearance at the crankshaft fillet.

P-4782-C
This bulletin supersedes Technical Service Bulletin #18-19-85 which should be removed from your
files. The model application has been expanded to include 1981 and 1982 model years.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Pressure Bleeding (Preferred Procedure)
Fig 2 Extending Valve Stem
NOTE: All vehicles are equipped with a pressure hold-off valve. The valve is located (in the
combination valve) on the left frame rail. The hold off valve balances front and rear braking force to
improve braking and steering control on icy surfaces. The valve shuts off the flow of brake fluid
between 3 and 135 PSI. Because the valve shuts off flow in this pressure range the valve must be
held open manually -- using tool C-4121 or equivalent -- when pressure bleeding the system.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should a rigid clamp, wedge or block be used to depress the
valve stem. This could cause an internal valve failure resulting in complete loss of front brakes.
1. Clean all dirt and foreign material from the cover of the master cylinder to prevent dirt from falling
into the master cylinder reservoir when the
cover is removed.
2. Install metering valve hands off tool, part No. C-4121 to valve stem of metering valve.
NOTE: Complete bleeding of dual master cylinder is important before performing this procedure!
3. Starting with RWAL hydraulic valve, clean all dirt from the bleeder valve. 4. Place bleeder hose
on the bleeder valve and insert the other end of the bleeder hose into a clear jar half filled with
clean brake fluid. This will
permit the observation of air bubbles as they are being expelled from the hydraulic system and also
prevent air from being drawn back into the system.
4. Continue this bleeding with:
a. The left rear wheel. b. Next, bleed the right front. c. Finish with the left front wheel.
6. Repeat this bleeding procedure if there is any indication of air remaining in the hydraulic system:
- Spongy brake pedal
- Warning light ON
CAUTION: The pressure release valve is in its innermost position when there is no pressure
present. No attempt should be made to further depress the valve stem.
NOTE: If diagnosis determines that master cylinder alone is cause of trouble, it can be replaced
without bleeding the hydraulic system provided the replacement cylinder is completely bled before
installation. After brake tubes are connected have helper apply force to pedal while both tube nuts
are cracked to release any air and then retightened.
Testing and Inspection
Speed Control Servo: Testing and Inspection

Pulse Air Feeder: Description and Operation
Fig. 11 Pulse air feeder system
This system, Fig. 11, used on some 1984---87 models, supplies secondary air into the exhaust
system between the front and rear converters. This action aids oxidation of exhaust emissions in
the rear catalytic converter. The pulse air feeder system consists of a main reed valve and a sub
reed valve. A diaphragm, activated by pressure pulses in the crankcase, controls the main reed
valve. The sub reed valve is controlled by pulsations in the exhaust system between the front and
rear catalytic converters.

Speedometer Head: Service and Repair
The following material covers only that service on speedometers which is feasible to perform.
Repairs on the units themselves are not included as they require special tools and extreme care
when making repairs and adjustments that only an experienced speedometer mechanic should
attempt. The speedometer has two main parts, the speedometer head and the speedometer drive
cable. When the speedometer fails to indicate speed or mileage, the cable or cable housing is
probably broken.
SPEEDOMETER CABLE
Most cables are broken due to lack of lubrication, or a sharp bend or kink in the housing. A cable
might break because of the speedometer head mechanism binds. In such cases, the speedometer
head should be repaired or replaced before a new cable or housing is installed. A "jumpy" pointer
condition, together with a scraping noise, is due, in most instances, to a dry or kinked speedometer
cable. The kinked cable rubs on the housing and winds up, slowing down the pointer. The cable
then unwinds and the pointer "jumps." To check for kinks, remove the cable, lay it on a flat surface
and twist one end with the fingers. If it turns over smoothly the cable is not kinked. But if part of the
cable flops over as it is twisted, the cable is kinked and should be replaced.
LUBRICATION The speedometer cable should be lubricated with special cable lubricant. Fill the
ferrule on the upper end of the housing with the cable lubricant. Insert the cable in the housing,
starting at the upper end. Turn the cable around carefully while feeding it into the housing. Repeat
filling the ferrule except for the last six inches of cable. Too much lubricant at this point may cause
the lubricant to work into the speedometer head.
INSTALLING CABLE During installation, if the cable sticks when inserted in the housing and will
not go through, the housing is damaged inside or kinked. Be sure to check the housing from one
end to the other. Straighten any sharp bends by relocating clamps or elbows. Replace housing if it
is badly kinked or broken. Position the cable and housing so that they lead into the head as straight
as possible. Check the new cable for kinks before installing it. Use wide, sweeping, gradual curves
where the cable comes out of the transmission and connects to the head so the cable will not be
damaged during installation. Arrange the housing so it does not lean against the engine because
heat from the engine may dry out the lubricant. If inspection indicates that the cable and housing
are in good condition, yet pointer action is erratic, check the speedometer head for possible
binding. The speedometer drive pinion should also be checked. If the pinion is dry or its teeth are
stripped, the speedometer may not register properly.

GROUP: ELECTRICAL
DATE: Apr. 22, 1991
SUBJECT: Trailer Tow Wiring Installation
MODELS:
ALL DODGE TRUCKS
DISCUSSION:
Improper installation of trailer tow wiring or electrical components can cause erratic operation of the
vehicles electrical system. When installing wiring or additional components, or diagnosing a vehicle
with erratic electrical operation, observe the following guidelines.
^ Inspect trailer wiring for bare or broken wires, corroded splices and terminals, shorted lamp
sockets, poor or insufficient grounding between the trailer wiring system and trailer frame.
^ When connecting lighting circuits, use a factory trailer tow wiring harness or a Mopar service kit if
available. Mopar kits include mating connectors and do not require cutting or splicing of vehicle
wiring. If cutting or splicing is required, the attached Wiring Procedure should be followed.
^ When installing any electrical equipment (such as electric brakes, battery chargers, lighting, and
winches) make sure that the tow vehicles electrical ground is hard wired to the trailer electrical
ground. Ground wires should be attached to a clean, bare metal surface, not to a painted surface.
DO NOT rely on the trailer hitch coupling for ground.
^ When using butt splice connectors, test the splice integrity by pulling on the wires after crimping.
^ DO NOT use insulation displacement or insulation piercing crimp type terminals.
^ Some electrical equipment will require splicing into the vehicle wiring. Follow the attached Wiring
Procedure when installing these components.
WIRING PROCEDURE
1. With the ignition key in the OFF position, disconnect the battery.
2. Remove one inch of insulation from each wire to be connected.
3. Slide a piece of heat shrink tubing (PN 4419644) onto one wire.

TROUBLESHOOTING
VOLTAGE LIMITER TEST
1. Connect voltmeter between temperature sending unit (locating in fitting in bottom radiator tank)
and a suitable ground. Do not disconnect
electrical connector from sending unit.
2. Turn ignition switch to On position and observe voltmeter. 3. If voltmeter needle fluctuates, the
voltage limiter is operating properly. 4. If voltmeter does not fluctuate, replace voltage limiter. The
voltage limiter is located on the sensor panel. To gain access to the limiter,
remove panel and unsnap the back cover.
TEMPERATURE GAUGE TEST
1. Disconnect electrical connector from temperature sending unit in lower radiator tank. 2. Connect
tester No. C-3826 or equivalent between temperature sending unit and a suitable ground. 3. Move
tester pointer to "C" position, then turn ignition switch On and observe temperature gauge.
Temperature gauge should read within 1/8 inch
of "C".
4. Move tester pointer to "M" position. Temperature gauge should now advance to normal range
left of 1/2 position on dial. 5. Move tester pointer to "H" position. Temperature gauge should now
advance to "H" position on dial. 6. If temperature gauge responds to tests described in steps 3, 4
and 5, but does not operate when sending unit electrical connector is attached, the
sending unit is defective and should be replaced.
7. If temperature gauge does not respond to tests described in steps 3, 4 and 5, check for loose
connections, broken wire, open printed circuit or
faulty gauge.

Page 1559
Idle Speed/Throttle Actuator - Electronic: Description and Operation
Fig. 46 Vacuum throttle positioner system
Some vehicles are equipped with a throttle positioner system to prevent unburned hydrocarbon
emissions through the exhaust system when the engine is decelerated from a high RPM. This
system consists of an electronic speed switch, an electrically controlled vacuum solenoid valve and
a vacuum actuated throttle positioner, Fig. 46. The electronic speed switch senses ignition pulses
from the 5 ohm ballast resistor terminal connected to the ignition control unit. When engine speed
exceeds 2000 RPM, the speed switch allows vacuum to energize the throttle positioner. When the
positioner is energized, a throttle stop provided, will prevent the engine from returning to the idle
position. When the throttle is released, it will return the idle to 1750 RPM. As the engine
decelerates, the electronic speed switch senses when the engine speed drops below 2000 RPM
and de-energizes the throttle positioner. This permits the throttle to return to the normal idle stop
position and the engine will continue to decelerate to the idle speed. This operation positions the
throttle partially open (1750 RPM) whenever the engine decelerates from a speed above 2000
RPM to a speed just below 2000 RPM, thus providing sufficient air flow through the engine to dilute
the air/fuel mixture.

Brake Proportioning/Combination Valve: Description and Operation Proportioning Valve
Fig. 23 Type 1, Combination Valve
Fig 2 Brake Warning Switch / Hold Off Valve (Cut Away View)
NOTE: This valve is part of a combination valve. See Application and ID.
The proportioning valve section transmits full input pressure to the rear brakes up to a certain point,
called the split point. Beyond that point it reduces the amount of pressure increase to the rear
brakes according to a certain ratio. On light pedal applications, approximately equal brake pressure will be transmitted to the front and
rear brakes.
- At higher pressures, the pressure transmitted to the rear brakes will be lower than to the front
brakes to prevent premature rear wheel lock-up and skid.
If hydraulic pressure is lost in the front brake system, rear brake system hydraulic pressure moves
the brake warning switch piston and opens a bypass in the proportioning unit allowing full rear
brake hydraulic pressure.

Fig. 20 Checking worm preload
The worm groove is ground with a high point in the center. When the rack-piston nut passes over
this high point, a preload of a 1 to 4 inch pounds torque should be obtained. 1. With worm pointing
up, clamp rack-piston nut in a vise with soft jaws (do not hold rack-piston nut in area of Teflon ring).
2. Place valve on worm, engaging worm drive pin. 3. Rotate worm until it extends 11/4 inch from
rack-piston nut to thrust bearing face. This is the center position. 4. Attach an inch pound torque
wrench with socket on stub shaft. Oscillate wrench through a total arc of approximately 60° in both
directions several
times and take a reading. The highest reading obtained with worm rotating should be between 1
and 4 inch pounds. Take a torque reading pulling the torque wrench to the right and a reading
pulling the wrench to the left. Total both readings and take one half of this total as the average
torque. Do not use a torque wrench having maximum torque reading of more than 100 inch
pounds.
Install Housing Lower End Plug
1. Install new housing end plug O-ring seal. 2. Insert end plug into gear housing and seat against
O-ring. Slight pressure may be necessary to seat end plug properly. 3. Install end plug retainer ring
so end of ring extends over and at least 1/2 inch beyond ring removal assist hole.
Install Pitman Shaft Gear & Side Cover
1. Install stub shaft flange and turn steering worm until center groove of rack-piston is aligned with
center of pitman shaft needle bearings. 2. Install new side cover O-ring. 3. Install pitman shaft gear
so that center tooth of gear meshes with center groove of rack-piston. Make sure side cover O-ring
is in place before
pushing cover against housing.
4. Install and tighten side cover screws.
Install Rack-Piston Nut End Plug
1. Install new O-ring seal on end plug, being careful not to allow seal to twist in groove. 2. Install
end plug into rack-piston nut by pressing into place. 3. Install end plug retaining ring, being sure
ring is bottomed in its groove.

reach the outer surface of the nut, they enter the return guides which direct them across and down
into the ball nut where they enter the circuit again. When a right turn is made, the ball nut moves
upward and the balls circulate in the reverse direction. The teeth of the ball nut engage teeth on the
sector which is forged integral with the pitman shaft. The teeth on the ball nut are made so that a
"high point" or tighter fit exists between the ball nut and pitman shaft sector teeth when the front
wheels are in the straight-ahead position. The teeth on the sector are tapered slightly so that a
proper lash may be obtained by moving the pitman shaft endwise by means of a lash adjuster
screw which extends through the gear housing side cover. The head of the last adjuster and the
selectively fitted shim fit snugly into a T-slot in the end of the pitman shaft so that the screw also
controls end play of the shaft. The screw is locked by an external lock nut.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Testing and Inspection
CONSTANT VOLTAGE REGULATOR (CVR) TYPE
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING
A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions included with the tester.

How To Measure
NOTE: For additional information on how to use a drum micrometer see Fundamentals and Basics.
- A drum micrometer is used to measure the drum diameter.
- The micrometer scale should be initially set to the original (new) thickness of the drum.
- The base of the micrometer should be placed in the deepest groove in the drum and held steady
while the measuring point is swiveled to find the maximum diameter.
- The base and measuring point should be kept at the same depth in the drum.

Brake Disc: Fundamentals and Basics Tightening Notes
WHEN TIGHTENING LUG NUTS, REMEMBER...
Always tighten the lug nuts to the correct torque specification. Lightly lubricate the studs with an
anti-seize compound to ensure proper torque and prevent damage to the threads. Tighten in an
alternating pattern around the wheel until the wheel is centered on the studs. Do your final
tightening with a torque wrench. When servicing disc brakes it is very important to properly torque
the wheel assembly.
Lug nuts which are installed with an air impact tool are often over-torqued. This may distort the
rotor and result in excessive lateral runout (rotor wobble) and a pedal pulsation upon braking.
Recheck the wheel bearings once the tires are installed. With the vehicle raised and properly supported, grasp the tire at the top and bottom and attempt to
rock them back and forth. There should be no detectable lateral (wobble) movement.

Crankshaft Main Bearing Seal: Service and Repair
Fig. 23 Rear main bearing caps. V8-318 (5.2L) & V8-360 (5.9L)
V8-318 (5.2L) & V8-360 (5.9L)
When necessary to replace rear main bearing oil seal on V8-318 models, removal of engine from
vehicle or removal of crankshaft from engine block is not necessary. Remove engine oil pan as
described under ``Oil Pan, Replace,'' then the rear main bearing cap. Using oil seal replacement
tool No. KD-492 or equivalent, remove defective upper seal, then, using same tool, install new seal.
After installation, trim upper seal to eliminate frayed ends. Install rear main bearing cap, then the oil
pan as described under ``Oil Pan, Replace.''
Replacement of rear main bearing oil seals is similar to procedure given above for 6 cylinder
engines. A seal retainer is not found on these engines; lower half of seal is installed into groove in
rear main bearing cap.
The 318 engine has cap seals in addition to lower seal secured by rear main bearing cap. Cap seal
with yellow paint is installed, narrow sealing edge up, into right side with bearing cap in engine
position. Cap seals must be flush with shoulder of bearing cap to prevent oil leakage.
The 360 engine requires sealer to be applied adjacent to rear main bearing oil seal as cap seals
are not used, Fig. 23. After applying sealer, quickly assemble rear main bearing cap to block and
torque to specifications.
V8-446 (7.3L)
Crankshaft rear bearing oil seal consists of two pieces of special packing. One piece is installed in
the groove in the rear bearing cap and the other piece is installed in a similar groove in the cylinder
block.
Position the rear bearing seal in the groove in the cylinder block. Lay an improvised mandrel in the
bearing bore and strike the mandrel with a hammer to drive the seal into the groove. Install the seal
in the bearing cap in a similar manner. Using a sharp knife, cut off both ends of each seal which
project out of the grooves. When cutting off the ends of the seals, do not leave frayed ends which
would prevent proper seating of the bearing cap if the ends should extend between cap and
cylinder block.

The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.

TROUBLESHOOTING
VOLTAGE LIMITER TEST
1. Connect voltmeter between temperature sending unit (locating in fitting in bottom radiator tank)
and a suitable ground. Do not disconnect
electrical connector from sending unit.
2. Turn ignition switch to On position and observe voltmeter. 3. If voltmeter needle fluctuates, the
voltage limiter is operating properly. 4. If voltmeter does not fluctuate, replace voltage limiter. The
voltage limiter is located on the sensor panel. To gain access to the limiter,
remove panel and unsnap the back cover.
TEMPERATURE GAUGE TEST
1. Disconnect electrical connector from temperature sending unit in lower radiator tank. 2. Connect
tester No. C-3826 or equivalent between temperature sending unit and a suitable ground. 3. Move
tester pointer to ``C'' position, then turn ignition switch On and observe temperature gauge.
Temperature gauge should read within 1/8 inch
of ``C''.
4. Move tester pointer to ``M'' position. Temperature gauge should now advance to normal range
left of 1/2 position on dial. 5. Move tester pointer to ``H'' position. Temperature gauge should now
advance to ``H'' position on dial. 6. If temperature gauge responds to tests described in steps 3, 4
and 5, but does not operate when sending unit electrical connector is attached, the
sending unit is defective and should be replaced.
7. If temperature gauge does not respond to tests described in steps 3, 4 and 5, check for loose
connections, broken wire, open printed circuit or
faulty gauge.
OIL LEVEL PUSH BUTTON SWITCH
1. Inspect switch for poor solder connections and repair or replace as necessary. 2. Test each
circuit for continuity using an ohmmeter or test lamp. If any open circuits are found, the switch
should be replaced. To replace switch,

This bulletin supersedes Technical Service Bulletin #18-19-85 which should be removed from your
files. The model application has been expanded to include 1981 and 1982 model years.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Fig. 11 Hydraulic valve lifter. V8-446 (7.3L)
Figs. 10 and 11 illustrate the type of hydraulic valve lifters used. Before disassembling any part of
the engine to check for noise, check the oil pressure at the gauge and the oil level in the oil pan.
The oil level in the pan should never be above the ``full'' mark on the dipstick, nor below the ``add
oil'' mark. Either of the two conditions could be responsible for noisy lifters.
Fig. 12 Removing stuck hydraulic lifter with special tool. Typical
LIFTER, REPLACE
Worn valve guides or cocked springs are sometimes mistaken for noisy lifters. Determine which
lifter is noisy. If the application of side thrust on the valve spring fails to noticeably reduce the noise,
the lifter is probably faulty and should be removed for inspection. Removal of stuck lifters requires a
special tool, Fig. 12. When installing hydraulic lifters in the engine, fill them with light engine oil to
avoid excessive time required to quiet them during initial operation of engine.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit, which is an oil pressure switch.
The oil pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is
turned on, the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed
contacts in the pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses
the diaphragm, opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If it does not light,
disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or cylinder block. Then if
the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the bulb.
If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the engine
unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight and
properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground).
If the warning light remains lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before
proceeding further to determine the cause for a low pressure indication.
The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the engine is idling, even though the oil
pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when the engine speed is increased.

Notes, Warnings, and Hints
Brake Master Cylinder: Fundamentals and Basics Notes, Warnings, and Hints
REMOVAL
WARNING: DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid is very corrosive to your vehicles finish.
Removing master cylinders can be a messy process. To prevent or minimize any possible damage
perform the following: Siphon all brake fluid from the master-cylinder reservoir prior to removal.
- Use a fender cover to protect the vehicles finish.
- Use a drip pan to catch all fluid that leaks from the master-cylinder during removal.
- Any brake fluid which contacts the vehicles finish should be washed off immediately.
- Any brake fluid which drips onto electrical connections should be immediately removed (aerosol
brake cleaner works well for this).
After the brake lines have been disconnected from the master-cylinder place vacuum caps over
ends of the lines to prevent further leakage or contamination.
Once the master-cylinder has been removed place it in a drip pan. Although the reservoir is empty,
brake fluid trapped within the cylinder bore will continue to slowly leak out.
INSTALLATION
Prior to installation the master-cylinder should be bench bled (this can be done on the vehicle but it
is much easier on a workbench.
NOTE: Normal brake bleeding procedures will not remove air which is trapped in the cylinder bore
area of a master-cylinder.
Attach the brake line fittings prior to snugging down the master-cylinder retaining bolts. The fittings
are much easier to start turning when the master-cylinder is still loose.
WARNING: Remember to tighten the retaining bolts after the brake lines are installed and
tightened.
When snugging down the retaining bolts, alternately tighten them in small increments. This
prevents the master-cylinder or push rod from becoming cocked.
Upon installing the master-cylinder the entire brake system (front and rear) will need to be bled. Air
enters the brake system as soon as the brake lines are removed. It only requires a very small
amount of air in the system to create a soft brake pedal.
WARNING: Never test drive a vehicle after a master-cylinder replacement until a firm brake pedal
with a 75% reserve is established.

Fig. 4 Thrust plate & rotor installed on driveshaft
1. Carefully mount pump in vise with soft jaws and remove reservoir cap. When clamping pump in
vise, do not exert excessive force on front hub
as this may distort drive shaft bushing in housing.
2. Remove rear pump mounting stud and Of-ring seal, pressure union and Of-ring seal. 3. Remove
reservoir, and second pressure union Of-ring seal. 4. Using a small punch, depress end plate
retaining ring enough to allow removal from groove. Use the 1/8 inch diameter hole in housing.
Then
remove retaining ring with screwdriver.
5. Remove end plate which is spring loaded and usually sits above housing level. If end plate
sticks, a slight rocking action should free it. If rocking
action fails to free plate, use a magnet.
6. Remove two pressure springs from pump housing. 7. Remove flow control valve and spring by
inverting housing. Do not disassemble flow control valve as it is serviced as a unit and pre-set at
the
factory.
8. Remove drive shaft key from slot in shaft. Then with end of shaft pointed downward, press down
until shaft is free. 9. Turn assembly over and remove drive shaft and rotary group.
10. Remove rotor retaining ring from groove in drive shaft. Remove rotor and thrust plate from
shaft. 11. Remove and discard Of-ring seals from pump housing. Remove driveshaft oil seal only if
inspection shows necessity for replacement.
Inspection
1. Clean all parts except the drive shaft oil seal in cleaning fluid. The seal will be damaged if
immersed in cleaning fluid. 2. Check fit of vanes in slots of rotor for tightness or excessive
looseness. Vanes must fit snugly but slide freely in slots in rotor. Tight fit of vanes in
rotor can usually be corrected by thorough cleaning. Replace rotor if excessive looseness exists
between rotor and vanes. Replace vanes if worn or scored.
3. Examine machined surfaces of pump ring for roughness or wear. Replace ring if roughness
cannot be corrected with crocus cloth. 4. Inspect thrust plate, pressure plate and end plate for
wear, scores or other damage. 5. Inspect pump housing for cracks or damage. Check housing for
evidence of wear or scoring. 6. Check all springs for free length, distortion or collapsed coils. 7.
Inspect located dowel pins for distortion. 8. Examine outer diameter of flow control valve for scoring
or roughness. Slight damage may be cleaned up with crocus cloth. Check valve assembly
for freedom of movement in bore of pump housing.
9. Check all oil passages in pump parts for obstruction. Use a piece of tag wire to clean out holes.
10. Check bushing in pump housing for wear or damage.

Clock: Service and Repair
Regulation of electric clocks is accomplished automatically by resetting the time. If the clock is
running fast, the action of turning the hands back to correct the time will automatically cause the
clock to run slightly slower. If the clock is running slow, the action of turning the hands forward to
correct the time will automatically cause the clock to run slightly faster (10 to 15 seconds day). A
lock-out feature prevents the clock regulator mechanism from being reset more than once per wind
cycle, regardless of the number of times the time is reset. After the clock rewinds, if the time is then
reset, automatic regulation will take place. If a clock varies over 10 minutes per day, it will never
adjust properly and must be repaired or replaced.
WINDING CLOCK WHEN CONNECTING BATTERY OR CLOCK WIRING The clock requires
special attention when reconnecting a battery that has been disconnected for any reason, a clock
that has been disconnected, or when replacing a blown clock fuse. It is very important that the
initial wind be fully made. The procedure is as follows:
1. Make sure that all other instruments and lights are turned off. 2. Connect positive cable to
battery. 3. Before connecting the negative cable, press the terminal to its post on the battery.
Immediately afterward, strike the terminal against the battery
post to see if there is a spark. If there is a spark, allow the clock to run down until it stops ticking,
and repeat as above until there is no spark. Then immediately make the permanent connection
before the clock can again run down. The clock will run down in approximately two minutes.
4. Reset clock after all connections have been made. The foregoing procedure should also be
followed when reconnecting the clock after it has been
disconnected, or if it has stopped because of a blown fuse. Be sure to disconnect battery before
installing a new fuse.
TROUBLESHOOTING If clock does not run, check for blown "clock" fuse. If fuse is blown, check
for short in wiring. If fuse is not blown, check for open circuit. With an electric clock, the most
frequent cause of clock fuse blowing is voltage at the clock which will prevent a complete wind and
allow clock contacts to remain closed. This may be caused by any of the following: discharged
battery, corrosion on contact surface of battery terminals, loose connections at battery terminals, at
junction block, at fuse clips, or at terminal connection of clock. Therefore, if in reconnecting battery
or clock it is noted that the clock is not ticking, always check for blown fuse, or examine the circuits
at the points indicated above to determine and correct the cause.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Antilock Brake System Bleeding Procedures
Fig 2 Extending Valve Stem
NOTE: All vehicles are equipped with a pressure hold-off valve. The valve is located (in the
combination valve) on the left frame rail. The hold off valve balances front and rear braking force to
improve braking and steering control on icy surfaces. The valve shuts off the flow of brake fluid
between 3 and 135 PSI. Because the valve shuts off flow in this pressure range the valve must be
held open manually -- using tool C-4121 or equivalent -- when pressure bleeding the system.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should a rigid clamp, wedge or block be used to depress the
valve stem. This could cause an internal valve failure resulting in complete loss of front brakes.
1. Clean all dirt and foreign material from the cover of the master cylinder to prevent dirt from falling
into the master cylinder reservoir when the
cover is removed.
2. Install metering valve hands off tool, part No. C-4121 to valve stem of metering valve.
NOTE: Complete bleeding of dual master cylinder is important before performing this procedure!
3. Starting with RWAL hydraulic valve, clean all dirt from the bleeder valve. 4. Place bleeder hose
on the bleeder valve and insert the other end of the bleeder hose into a clear jar half filled with
clean brake fluid. This will
permit the observation of air bubbles as they are being expelled from the hydraulic system and also
prevent air from being drawn back into the system.
5. Continue this bleeding with:
a. The right rear wheel b. Then left rear wheel c. Next, bleed the right front and d. Finish with the
left front wheel
6. Repeat this bleeding procedure if there is any indication of air remaining in the hydraulic system:
- Spongy brake pedal
- Warning light ON
CAUTION: The pressure release valve is in its innermost position when there is no pressure
present. No attempt should be made to further depress the valve stem.
NOTE: If diagnosis determines that master cylinder alone is cause of trouble, it can be replaced
without bleeding the hydraulic system provided the replacement cylinder is completely bled before
installation. After brake tubes are connected have helper apply force to pedal while both tube nuts
are cracked to release any air and then retightened.
Page 2826
Brake Hose/Line: Service and Repair
NOTE: Always use factory recommended hose to insure quality, correct length and superior fatigue
life.
CAUTION: Care should be taken to make sure that the tube and hose mating surfaces are clean
and free from nicks and burrs.
CAUTION: Right and left brake hoses are not interchangeable.
NOTE: Use new, copper seal washers. All connections should be properly made and torqued.
1. The flexible hydraulic brake hose should always be installed on the vehicle by first tightening the
block end of the hose onto caliper, or rear axle
housing tee.
2. The intermediate bracket should then be bolted to the upper control arm. 3. The hose bracket is
then attached to the side rail. 4. Finally, the tube is attached to the hose.

WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FILE. THIS REVISION CORRECTS AN ERROR
IN THE A-6Q4 ILLUSTRATION.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Repeated automatic transmission failures.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
The purpose of this bulletin is to emphasize the importance of properly flushing the transmission oil
cooler following any repair which requires the removal or replacement of any automatic
transmission or transaxle. Clogged or restricted transmission oil coolers can be a cause of
recurring transmission failures. Restriction of cooler flow can cause overheating of the transmission
fluid and reduce important lubrication to internal rotating parts.
Although several styles of transmission coolers are in use, including various oil-to-air designs and
those internal to the radiator tank, all have small internal passages which can trap debris, such as
loose lock-up clutch friction material and become clogged. It is absolutely necessary, in any case of
transmission failure, to thoroughly flush the cooler, following the procedure outlined below and then
check the flow to ensure that all possible debris has been removed.
When reverse flushing an automatic transmission cooler the following procedure should be used:

Brake Caliper: Fundamentals and Basics Installation Notes
WHEN INSTALLING CALIPERS AND PADS, REMEMBER...
- Clean and lubricate caliper slide joint/pins with high temperature silicone grease:
Unlike drum brakes, disc brakes do not utilize a spring to withdraw the pads/linings when the brake
pedal is released. Disc brakes rely on the elasticity of the piston seals, and the unrestricted
movement of the caliper slide assemblies to release the brakes.
If the slide joints/pins are not cleaned and lubricated properly the disc brake linings will drag upon
the release of the brake pedal. This will result in overheated brakes and premature brake wear.
Disc Brake Mechanical Force Diagram
NOTE: Floating calipers require free and unrestricted movement on the caliper mounting. Floating
or sliding calipers have pistons only on one side of the rotor. The first part of the piston's travel
forces the inner pad against the rotor, then further travel forces the movable part of the caliper to
pull the outer pad against the rotor.
High temperature silicone lubricant must be used. Low temperature grease can melt and
contaminate the pads and rotors, or can bake into a very hard substance which binds the slides.
Petroleum based grease can cause the slide boots to soften and swell.
- Work on one side at a time. If you forget how to reassemble the parts you can always use the
other side as a model.
Anti-squeal Coating
- Apply an anti-squeal coating to the back side of the pads/linings. This coatings acts as an
insulator to dampen high frequency vibrations that are generated during normal braking. These
compounds are highly effective in preventing brake squeal.
- Many professional repair shops recommend always rebuilding or replacing the calipers when
replacing the brake linings, because:
When the pistons are forced back into the calipers, the piston seals are dragged across any
corrosion or abrasives that may be deposited on the inside of the caliper.
Damage to the seals may not be initially evident. As the new brake linings begin to wear, the piston
is gradually withdrawn from the caliper. This results in the piston seals again being dragged across
the layer of corrosion and deposits.

- Brake fluid which is contaminated with air or water will significantly add to the amount of pedal
travel.
- Pure DOT 3 (or 4) brake fluid is incompressible (allowing for a solid, firm pedal). A small amount
of air trapped in the brake fluid will require extra effort from the master-cylinder to compress it,
resulting in a soft and spongy pedal.
- During prolonged or severe braking the brake fluid temperature can rapidly rise above 212
degrees F. When this occurs any water in the brake fluid will boil into steam (which is
compressable) and create a soft and spongy pedal.
Rear Brake Shoe Adjustment Drum brake system utilize return springs to pull the shoes away from the drums when not in use.
The amount of distance the shoes have to extend to meet the drums greatly affects the amount of
pedal travel.
- Shoes/Linings which are badly out of adjustment can by themselves result in a brake pedal
sinking all the way to the floor
NOTE: Improperly adjusted rear shoes/linings also affect the parking brake.
Calipers Excessive rotor wobble caused by a warped rotor or loose/worn wheel bearings can knock the
caliper piston further inward from its normal resting position. This results in additional pedal travel
required to extend the piston and apply the brakes.
Drum Expansion Drums which are worn past their "Discard" thickness are prone to expanding outwards into an oval
shape during heavy braking. This drum expansion results in additional brake pedal travel.
Brake Fade During prolonged or severe braking, the amount of pedal effort/travel required to slow the vehicle
increases as the ability of the brakes to dissipate heat decreases.
- As the brake linings heat up, their "coefficient of friction" is reduced (they become slicker). As the
coefficient of friction is reduced, more hydraulic pressure is required to stop the vehicle. More
hydraulic pressure results in more heat which then results in more pedal fade.
- As the brake linings, rotors, and drums begin to wear, their ability to absorb and release heat is
reduced significantly. This makes worn brakes more prone to "pedal fade".
NOTE: Prior to replacing a master-cylinder, verify the entire brake system is functioning properly.

Choke Vacuum Kick The choice diaphragm adjustment controls the fuel delivery while the engine is
running. It positions the choke valve within the air horn by action of the linkage between the choke
shaft and the diaphragm. The diaphragm must be energized to measure the vacuum kick
adjustment. Vacuum can be supplied by an auxiliary vacuum source.
Choke Unloader (Wide Open Kick) The choke unloader is a mechanical device to partially open the
choke valve at wide open throttle. It is used to eliminate choke enrichment during cranking of an
engine. Engines which have been flooded or stalled by excessive choke enrichment can be cleared
by use of the unloader. Refer to carburetor adjustments for adjusting procedure. Fast Idle Speed
Fast idle engine speed is used to overcome cold engine friction, stalls after cold starts and stalls
because of carburetor icing. Refer to carburetor adjustments for procedure.
Fast Idle Cam Position This adjustment is used to provide cam stop speeds at proper times during
engine warmup. TSB 14-04-87 May 4, 1987 Publication #81-370-6007

1. Place the vehicle on a hoist, with a helper in the driver's seat to apply the brakes. 2. Remove the
access plug from the rear adjustment slot in each brake support plate to provide access to the
adjuster star wheel.
NOTE: It will be necessary to hold the adjuster lever away from the star wheel to permit the
following adjustment.
3. Back the star wheel off approximately 30 notches.
- This eliminates the possibility of maximum adjustment, whereby the adjuster does not operate
because the closest possible adjustment has been reached.
4. Spin the wheel and brake drum in the reverse direction and -- with greater than normal force -apply the brakes suddenly.
- This sudden application of force will cause the secondary brake shoe to leave the anchor. The
wrap up effect will move the secondary shoe, and the cable will pull the adjuster lever up.
- Upon application of the brake pedal, the lever should move upward, turning the star wheel.
- Thus, a definite rotation of the adjuster star wheel can be observed if the automatic adjuster is
working properly.
- If one or more adjusters do not function properly, the respective drum must be removed for
adjuster servicing.

no other faulty condition such as incorrect basis timing, incorrect idle speed, faulty hose or wiring
connections, etc. Adjustment of the carburetor air fuel mixture should be performed after a major
carburetor overhaul.
(1) Remove the concealment plug. Set the parking brake and place the transmission in neutral.
Turn all lights and accessories off. Connect a tachometer to the engine. Start the engine and allow
it to warm up on the second highest step of the fast idle cam until normal operating temperature is
reached return the engine to idle and turn off engine.
(2) Remove air cleaner, disconnect and plug the vacuum hoses at the EGR valve and ESA
computer. No vacuum is to be applied to the computer. Disconnect and plug canister purge hose at

(7) With the propane bottle upright and in a safe location, open the propane main valve. Slowly
open the propane metering valve until the maximum engine rpm is reached. When too much
propane is added, engine rpm will decrease. "Fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest
engine rpm.
(8) With the propane still flowing, adjust the idle speed screw on the solenoid to obtain the correct
propane rpm. Again, "fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest engine rpm. If there has
been a change in the maximum rpm, readjust the idle speed screw to the specified propane rpm.
(9) Turn off the propane main valve and allow the engine speed to stabilize. Slowly adjust the
mixture screws by equal amounts, pausing between adjustments to allow engine speed to stabilize, to obtain the smoothest idle at the correct idle rpm. (10)
Turn on the propane main valve end "Fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest engine
rpm. If the maximum engine speed is more than 25
rpm different than the specified propane rpm, repeat steps (8) through (11).
(11) Turn off propane main and metering valves. Remove the propane supply hose and reinstall
the heated air sensor hose. Reinstall new concealment
plugs. Reconnect vacuum line on ESA, reconnect carburetor electrical connector. Perform the
Solenoid Idle Stop, Idle RPM, and Fast Idle Speed Adjustment Procedures.

sure that throttle positioner operates and can maintain its position when a hand load is applied. If
not, determine cause of malfunction and correct as necessary as described under ``Testing''
procedure before proceeding further.
2. Accelerate engine to about 2500 RPM then loosen positioner adjustment lock nut and rotate
positioner assembly until it just contacts throttle lever.
3. Release throttle and adjust positioner to decrease engine speed until a sudden drop in speed
occurs (over 1000 RPM). Continue adjusting positioner in decreasing direction 1/4 turn and tighten
lock nut.
4. Accelerate engine to about 2500 RPM and release throttle. If engine speed returns to normal
idle, throttle positioner is properly adjusted.

BEEN CHARGED. DON'T BREAK LIVE CIRCUITS AT THE TERMINALS OF THE BATTERY ON
CHARGE, A SPARK WILL OCCUR WHERE THE LIVE CIRCUIT IS BROKEN. KEEP ALL OPEN
FLAMES AWAY FROM THE BATTERY.
When it is necessary to charge a sealed battery, the following safety procedures must be followed:
1. Do not charge the battery if "GREEN" except immediately following prolonged cranking.
2. Do not charge the battery if the test indicator is a "LIGHT YELLOW" or "BRIGHT" color.
REPLACE THE BATTERY.
3. If the battery feels HOT (125 degrees F, 52 degrees C) or if excessive gassing occurs through
the vent holes, discontinue charging or reduce the charging rate IMMEDIATELY.
CAUTION: CHARGE THE BATTERY ONLY UNTIL THE GREEN DOT APPEARS. DO NOT
OVERCHARGE.
Slight tapping or shaking of the battery may be necessary to make the-GREEN DOT appear.
There are many types of battery charging equipment available. Be sure to follow the instructions of
the equipment manufacturer for the necessary preparations and precautions. However, the
following items should be observed when slow charging the battery with any type of equipment:
1. If the battery is to remain in the vehicle, disconnect the cables at the battery negative cable first
to prevent damage to the electrical system during charging.
2. Thoroughly clean the battery. Refer to "Battery Visual Inspection."
Charging Procedure and Recommendations
CHARGING PROCEDURE
1. Batteries with the GREEN DOT showing DO NOT require charging unless they have just been
discharged (such as a long crank, etc.).
2. Make sure that all charger connections are clean and tight.
3. For best results, batteries should be charged when the electrolyte and the plates are at room
temperature. A battery that is extremely cold may not accept current for SEVERAL hours after
charging has begun.
4. Charge the battery ONLY until the GREEN DOT appears. The battery should be checked every
half hour while charging. Tapping or shaking the battery may be necessary to make the GREEN
DOT appear.
5. After charging, the battery should be tested as outlined in "Battery Testing."
CHARGING RECOMMENDATIONS
DO NOT CHARGE FROZEN BATTERIES. If the state of charge is very low, the battery may
freeze. If it is suspected that the battery is frozen, move the battery to a heated area for at least two
hours before charging. Do not place battery near open flame.
Time Required, Battery Charged & Testing Information
CHARGING TIME REQUIRED
The time required to charge a battery will vary, depending upon the following factors:
1. Size of the Battery - A completely discharged large heavy-duty battery requires more than twice
the recharging as a completely discharged small passenger car battery.
2. Battery Temperature - The charging time required to charge any battery is increased as the
temperature goes down. When a fast charger is connected to a cold battery, the current accepted
by the battery will remain low. As the battery warms up, it will accept a higher rate of charge.
3. Charger Capacity - A charger that can supply only 5 amps charging current will require a much
longer period of charging than one that can deliver a charging current of 30 amps or more.
Charging rates of up to 50 amps are generally acceptable PROVIDED the battery does not gas
excessively or become over heated.
4. State of Charge - A completely discharged battery will require more than twice as much current
input to reach a fully charged state, than a battery that was half discharged when charging began.
Because the electrolyte is nearly pure water in a fully discharged battery, it cannot accept current
as well as electrolyte. This is the reason the battery will not accept current when the charging cycle
first begins. As the battery remains on the charger, the current from the charger causes the
electrolytic acid content to rise. This increase in acid content will make the electrolyte a better
conductor and the battery accepts a higher charging rate.

Brake Disc: Fundamentals and Basics How to Use A Micrometer
CONSTRUCTION
The spindle on a micrometer is moved in or out by rotating the thimble or ratchet.
The thread pitch on the spindle is 40 threads per inch. A single full rotation of the thimble extends
or retracts the spindle one thread or 1/40 of an inch (0.025, 25 thousands).
The thimble is divided into 25 equal divisions. Rotating the thimble one division will extend or
retract the spindle 1/25 of a thread.
(1/25) x (1/40)inch = 1/1000 inch (0.001), one division on the thimble is equal to 0.001 inches.
HOW TO READ
As the thimble is rotated out it uncovers a scale on the sleeve. Each major division on the scale is
1/10 of an inch (0.100)
Each major division is separated into 4 minor divisions, each equal to 25/1000 of an inch (0.025).

Steering Column: Description and Operation
ENERGY ABSORBING STEERING COLUMNS
The energy absorbing function of the steering column allows the column to collapse at a controlled
rate during a severe collision. The collaPSIng action reduces the possibility of the steering wheel
being driven rearward towards the driver. If the driver is thrown forward into the steering wheel, the
column can collapse even further at the same controlled rate, thereby reducing the force of impact.
Several designs of steering column jackets are used. There is the slip tube design which is held
together with plastic inserts or rivets that shear upon impact and allow the column to collapse. And
there is the slotted or corrugated mesh design and bellows type design which shorten in length
during impact. The shift tube is a two piece design which is held together by injections of plastic
that form the interconnecting inserts and shear pins. Under impact, there is a gradual paring away
of the inserts by the knife-like edge in the adjoining tube section. The steering shaft is a two piece
assembly. The upper piece is solid and has a double flattened lower end. The lower piece is hollow
and formed to fit over the double flattened section of the upper piece. The purpose of the double
flattened section is to provide continued steering action even though the shaft is completely
collapsed. Upon impact, the shear pins break off and the shaft gradually telescopes against
resistance provided by the plastic injections. The steering column mounting bracket prevents the
column from being shifted towards the driver during impact. It uses two "breakaway capsules" that
allow the mounting bracket to slip off its attaching points, allowing the steering column to compress
or yield in a forward direction under a severe impact from the driver's end.

wheel drive models will be addressed in a future bulletin.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Customer concern for a "snap" or "clunk" after medium-heavy brake application to a stop is
completed or when accelerating from a stop. The noise may also be heard at the 1-2 upshift.
DIAGNOSIS
Description of Condition
Drive line "snap" is a single snap or clunk noise sometimes heard when braking to a forward stop
or accelerating from a stop. It is ordinarily heard just as a stop is completed, when the vehicle
transitions from the nose-down braking attitude to the level-stationary attitude. It may also be heard
just as motion begins on acceleration or at the 1-2 upshift.
Forward direction braking causes the rear axle pinion nose to pitch downward from brake torque
reaction. The vehicle also assumes an overall nose-down attitude. The combination of these
motions results in maximum rearward excursion of the prop shaft slip yoke in the transmission
extension. At the end of the stopping maneuver, the slip yoke would ordinarily slide smoothly back
into the extension. The characteristic "snap" occurs when the slip yoke momentarily binds in the
rearward position, then abruptly "snaps" forward to the neutral position. PARTS REQUIRED

Symptom/Condition, Diagnosis & Parts Information
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Refitting Rack-Piston Balls
Do not refit balls unless the steering is loose. If such is the case, a thrust adjustment and
over-center adjustment should correct the problem if it lies in the steering gear. If balls are pitted or
rough, then select the proper ball size for proper adjustment. If the torque reading obtained above
is too high or too low (on new balls only), disassemble and reassemble, using the next size smaller
(or larger) balls and recheck worm preload. A rack-piston nut with a ball size of 7 does not have a
number stamped on the flat surface. For ball sizes other than 7, the ball size is stamped on the flat
surface of the rack-piston nut. Ball sizes are numbered from 6 to 11, with 6 being the smallest and
11 the largest. Ball sizes are graduated in increments of 0.00008 inch from 0.28117 inch to
0.28157 inch.

Brake Warning Switch Testing
1. Raise the car on a hoist and open a wheel cylinder bleeder while a helper depresses the brake
pedal and observes the warning light. 2. If the light fails to light, inspect for a burned out bulb,
disconnected socket, or a broken or disconnected wire at the switch. 3. If the bulb is not burned out
and the wire continuity is uninterrupted, check the service brake warning switch operation with a
test lamp between
the switch terminal and a voltage source.
4. If light still fails to light, disconnect the brake tubes from the valve assembly and install a new
valve assembly. 5. If a new valve is installed, bleed the system.
CAUTIONS:
- Do not disassemble valve to reset the piston.
- The warning switch is not serviced separately. Do not remove the switch or attempt to repair.
NOTE: After repairing and bleeding the brake system, applying the brakes with moderate force will
hydraulically recenter the piston and automatically turn off the warning light.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
A bimetal temperature switch, located in the cylinder head, controls the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a burned out bulb, an open in
the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch.
If the red light is lit when the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a
ground, defective temperature switch, or overheated cooling system.
As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is functioning properly, a wire which is connected to
the ground terminal of the ignition switch is tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the "Start"
(engine cranking) position, the ground terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will
be lit. When the engine is started and the ignition switch is in the "On" position, the test circuit is
opened and the bulb is then controlled by the temperature switch.

P-1796-C The drainless torque converter, introduced in February, 1977, prevents the ability to
completely flush the converter. To eliminate the possibility of a repeat transmission failure, it is
necessary that the torque converter be replaced if any of the following conditions exist when the
transmission is being replaced or repaired:
^ There is a heavy accumulation of dirt or contamination in the bottom of the oil pan.
^ The transmission oil is burnt or black.
^ Small particles can be seen suspended in the oil.
^ Excessive torque converter hub damage has occurred.
^ The problem is directly related to the torque converter.
In addition to the above conditions, the transmission cooler lines should be flushed thoroughly to
clean the transmission's hydraulic system. (Refer to the appropriate service manual for the
recommended procedure.)

Diverter Valve
Air Diverter Valve: Description and Operation Diverter Valve
Fig. 3 Diverter valve
The diverter valve, Fig. 3, prevents backfire in the exhaust system during sudden deceleration.
When the throttle is suddenly closed at the beginning of deceleration, the air/fuel mixture becomes
too rich to burn. When the mixture reaches the exhaust area and combines with the injector air, it
becomes burnable, and the next firing of the engine will ignite the mixture. When the diverter valve
senses this sudden increase in intake manifold vacuum, the valve opens, allowing air to pass from
the air pump, through the valve and silencer, and to the atmosphere. A pressure relief valve,
integral with the diverter valve, controls system pressure by diverting excessive pump output at
high engine speeds to the atmosphere through the silencer.

Vacuum Brake Booster: Description and Operation
These units are self contained vacuum hydraulic power braking units. They are the vacuum
suspended type which use engine intake manifold vacuum and atmospheric pressure for their
power, eliminating the need for a vacuum reservoir. A mechanically operated control valve, integral
with the vacuum power diaphragms, controls degree of brake application or release depending on
amount of foot pressure applied to valve operating rod through the brake pedal linkage.
The control valve is a single poppet type valve with the atmospheric port and a vacuum port. The
vacuum port seal is a part of the valve body attached to the diaphragm assembly. The atmospheric
port is a part of the valve plunger which moves within the valve housing and vacuum power
diaphragm assembly.
These units require no maintenance and must be replaced as a complete assembly.

Electronic instrument clusters contain an odometer memory chip to record the vehicle mileage.
Since the chip is relatively small and delicate, certain care must be exercised in handling the device
during cluster or chip service. Refer to the procedure below for proper memory chip removal and
installation procedures.
DIAGNOSIS
Prior to servicing the instrument cluster, utilize the "Self-Diagnostic Test" procedure provided in the
service manual to determine whether the cluster or the memory chip is faulty.
^ A code of 1, 2 or 3 during the first test and the word "Fail" displayed in the odometer area,
indicates the cluster is defective. Replace the cluster, retaining the memory chip for installation in
the replacement cluster so as to maintain the vehicle mileage. This electronic memory device
contains the current accumulated vehicle mileage. Follow the procedure below to transfer the
memory chip.
^ A code of "4" and the word "Fail" displayed in the odometer area indicates a probable odometer
memory chip failure. Order a replacement chip package and install per the following instructions.
NOTE: REPLACEMENT OF THE ODOMETER CHIP IS PERMISSIBLE ONLY WHERE ORIGINAL
MILEAGE MAY BE POSTED ON A DOOR JAMB LABEL. IN AREAS WHERE LAWS REQUIRE
ORIGINAL MILEAGE TO BE DISPLAYED IN ODOMETER, CONTACT HUNTSVILLE ON

The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Service Notes
Universal Joint: Service and Repair Service Notes
Fig. 1 Production type universal joints which use nylon injection rings in place of snap rings
Before disassembling any universal joint, examine the assembly carefully and note the position of
the grease fitting (if used). Also, be sure to mark the yokes with relation to the propeller shaft so
they may be reassembled in the same relative position. Failure to observe these precautions may
produce rough vehicle operation which results in rapid wear and failure of parts, and place an
unbalanced load on transmission, engine and rear axle. When universal joints are disassembled for
lubrication or inspection, and the old parts are to be reinstalled, special care must be exercised to
avoid damage to universal joint spider or cross and bearing cups. Some driveshafts use an injected
nylon retainer on the universal joint bearings. When service is necessary, pressing the bearings out
will sheer the nylon retainer. Replacement with the conventional steel snap ring type is then
necessary.

Wipers/Washers - Wipers Smear or Streak Windshield
Wiper Blade: All Technical Service Bulletins Wipers/Washers - Wipers Smear or Streak Windshield
NUMBER: 23-014-06
GROUP: Body
DATE: March 8, 2006
SUBJECT: Windshield Wiper Blade/Element Maintenance
MODELS: All
All All Chrysler Group Vehicles
DISCUSSION:
Windshield wiper blades/elements are frequently replaced unnecessarily. Because of the
environmental conditions vehicles can be operated in, a film can build up on both the windshield
and the windshield wiper elements that will cause poor cleaning/streaking of the windshield, and in
some instances, a chattering condition as the wipers blades travel across the windshield.
Replacement of the wiper blades/elements is normally NOT required to correct streaking issues. A
simple NORMAL MAINTENANCE cleaning of the wiper blades/elements and windshield is all that
is required.
If the wipe pattern appears to be streaky or if there is chatter and no damage to the wiper
blades/elements is obvious, the following steps should be performed:
1. Use a soft cloth or sponge & squeegee and MOPAR Windshield Washer Solvent (p/n
04318067AB, 16 Oz. bottle or p/n 04318068AB, 32 Oz. bottle), MOPAR Glass Cleaner (p/n
04897623AB, 16 Oz. bottle) or a solution of 50/50 alcohol and water, to wash the windshield.
2. Raise the wiper blades off the glass and clean the wiper blade elements (rubber insert) with
MOPAR Windshield Washer Solvent or a solution of 50/50 alcohol and water and a soft cloth,
paper towel or sponge.
3. Return the wiper blades to their normal operating position and function the washer system. If the
wiper blades/elements are not streaking the windshield or chattering, replacing the blade
assembly(ies) is not necessary. If the wipe pattern is still objectionable, repeat step 2 several times.
If the wipe pattern is still objectionable, replace the wiper blades/elements.

Brake Master Cylinder: Fundamentals and Basics Parts Reminder List
RECOMMENDED PARTS
Basic Service, Replacement New or rebuilt master-cylinder
- Fresh/New brake fluid
Optional Aerosol brake cleaner.
New or Rebuilt Master Cylinder Always closely compare the new master-cylinder with the old master-cylinder. Minor variations in
the size and depth of the primary piston can result in significant reductions in braking performance.
- Examine the end of the master-cylinder where the pushrod contacts the piston. The depth and
diameters of the pistons should match.
Brake Fluid
Proper bench bleeding the master-cylinder and flushing the brake system will require a minimum of
16 oz of brake fluid.
- Never Mix DOT 3 (light amber in color) with DOT 5 (purple in color). There have been reports of
damage to brake system seals when DOT 3 and DOT 5 fluids are mixed
- Always store brake fluid in a sealed container. When left open brake fluid will absorb moisture
from the air. This reduces the boiling point of the brake fluid and could lead to a soft pedal or brake
system failure during prolonged or emergency braking.
- Never add automatic transmission fluid, engine oil, or power steering fluid to the master-cylinder.
Petroleum based fluids will cause the rubber seals and gaskets in the brake system to swell and
leak.
Aerosol Brake Cleaner Commercially produced aerosol brake cleaners are designed to effectively clean brake systems
while not leaving an oily residue.
- Do not use carburetor cleaner or solvent based products to clean brake system components.
These products will leave a residue which could contaminate the brake fluid or cause a reduction in
braking performance.

The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.

Notes, Warnings, and Hints
Brake Disc: Fundamentals and Basics Notes, Warnings, and Hints
WHEN INSTALLING A ROTOR/DISC, REMEMBER...
Thoroughly clean the rotors with brake cleaner.
- Any grease or brake fluid which comes in contact with the rotor should be thoroughly cleaned
prior to installing the new pads/linings.
- Grease and other contaminants become lodged in the microscopic pores of the rotor's surface.
This prolongs the brake-in time of the new linings and contaminates the friction material.
- Commercially produced aerosol brake cleaners should be used to clean the rotor. Unlike
carburetor cleaner or other petroleum based solvents, brake cleaner does not leave a residue on
the rotor's surface.
Recheck the wheel bearings once the tires are installed.
- With the vehicle raised and properly supported, grasp the tire at the top and bottom and attempt
to rock them back and forth. There should be no detectable lateral (wobble) movement.

This bulletin supersedes Technical Service Bulletin #18-19-85 which should be removed from your
files. The model application has been expanded to include 1981 and 1982 model years.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

On a new vehicle (under 300 miles/500 km) reduce RPM settings by 75 RPM. Tampering with the
carburetor is a violation of Federal law. Adjustment of the carburetor idle air fuel mixture can only
be done under certain circumstances as explained below. Upon completion of the adjustment, the
concealment plugs must be replaced. This procedure should only be used if an idle defect still
exists after normal diagnosis reveals no other faulty condition such as incorrect basis timing,
incorrect idle speed, faulty hose or wiring connections, etc. Adjustment of the carburetor air fuel
mixture should be performed after a major carburetor overhaul. (1)
Remove the concealment plug. Set the parking brake and place the transmission in neutral. Turn
all lights and accessories off. Connect a tachometer to the engine. Start the engine and allow it to
warm up on the second highest step of the fast idle cam until normal operating temperature is
reached. Return the engine to idle and turn off engine.
(2) Remove air cleaner, disconnect and plug the vacuum hoses at the EGR valve and ESA
computer. No vacuum is to be applied to the computer. Disconnect and plug canister purge hose at
canister.
(3) Disconnect carburetor electrical connector.
(4) Remove the PCV valve from the cylinder head cover and allow the valve to draw underhood air.
(5) Start and run engine.
(6) Disconnect the vacuum supply hose from the choke diaphragm at the carburetor and install the
propane supply hose in its place. Other connections at the tee must remain in place.
(7) With the propane bottle upright and in a safe location, open the propane main valve, Slowly
open the propane metering valve until the maximum engine rpm is reached. When too much
propane is added, engine rpm will decrease. "Fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest
engine rpm.
(8) With the propane still flowing, adjust the idle speed screw on the solenoid to obtain the correct
propane rpm. Again, "fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest engine rpm. If there has
been a change in the maximum rpm, readjust the idle speed screw to the specified propane rpm.
(9) Turn off the propane main valve and allow the engine speed to stabilize. Slowly adjust the
mixture screws by equal amounts, pausing between adjustments to allow engine speed to stabilize, to obtain the smoothest idle at the correct idle rpm. (10)
Turn on the propane main valve and "Fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest engine
rpm. If the maximum engine speed is more than 25
rpm different than the specified propane rpm, repeat steps 8 through 12.
(11) Turn off propane main and metering valves. Remove the propane supply hose and reinstall
the heated air sensor hose. Reinstall new concealment
plugs. Reconnect vacuum line on ESA, reconnect carburetor electrical connector. Perform the
Solenoid Idle Stop, Idle RPM, and Fast Idle Speed Adjustment Procedures.
13. ACCELERATOR PUMP STROKE MEASUREMENT 2280 MODELS (1)
Remove bowl vent cover plate and vent valve lever/and spring. Caution: Do not dislodge or lose
vent valve lever retainer.
(2) With pump link in No. 1 inner hole and levers installed, adjust the throttle blades to the closed
position by backing out the idle speed screw.
(3) Set the distance from the top of pump lever to the top of bowl vent cover surface to .050" +/.005" by bending the pump link. Check that wide open throttle can be reached without binding.

Air/Fuel Mixture: Adjustments Idle Mixture (Propane Method)
Fig. 1 Propane enrichment specification chart
EXC. 1985 MODELS This procedure should only be used after normal diagnosis has revealed no
other faults, or if carburetor has been overhauled. Idle mixture adjustment requires artificial
propane enrichment. A propane enrichment tool, C-4464 or equivalent, must be used to adjust idle
mixture. Before proceeding, make sure that propane cylinder is adequately filled to ensure correct
propane flow.
1. Remove concealment plug or limiter cap from mixture adjusting screw. Refer to appropriate
carburetor section.
2. Set parking brake and place transmission in Neutral position.
3. Turn off all lights and accessories, then connect tachometer.
4. Start engine and allow to reach normal operating temperature.
5. Disconnect and plug vacuum hose at EGR valve, ESA computer and distributor, as required.
6. On models equipped with carburetor ground switch, connect jumper wire between switch and
ground.
7. On models not equipped with Spark Control Computer (SCC), disconnect and plug vacuum hose
from carburetor at heated air temperature sensor and OSAC valve, if equipped, then remove air
cleaner.
8. On models with SCC, air cleaner cannot be removed but may be propped up.
9. Disconnect vacuum hose from heated air door or choke diaphragm, except as listed below, and
connect hose from metering valve on enrichment tool to fitting.
10. Remove PCV valve from cylinder head cover and allow to draw underhood air.
11. Disconnect plug control hose at canister.
12. On models equipped with oxygen sensor feedback, disconnect electrical connector from
oxygen sensor and ground connector. Remove and plug vacuum hose at vacuum transducer on
SCC, then install suitable vacuum pump to vacuum transducer, apply 16 inches of vacuum, and
allow engine to run for two minutes.
13. On models without oxygen sensor feedback, allow engine to run for one minute.
14. On all models, open main propane valve fully. Slowly open propane metering valve until
maximum idle RPM is obtained. Too much propane will cause engine speed to drop. Adjust
metering valve to obtain maximum idle RPM.
15. With propane flowing, adjust idle speed to specified enriched RPM, Fig. 1, by turning idle speed
screw.
16. Adjust metering valve to obtain maximum RPM. If there has been a change in maximum RPM,
readjust idle speed screw to specified enriched RPM.

Description and Operation
Fuel Gauge: Description and Operation
A hinged float arm in the fuel tank contacts a variable resistor in the gauge sending unit. The
varying resistance in the fuel gauge circuit registers on the instrument panel gauge. Resistance in
the circuit is lowest when the fuel tank is full and float arm is raised. The resulting high current flow
causes the instrument panel gauge to indicate Full.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Disconnect electrical connector from fuel tank sending unit and attach connector to a known
good sending unit. 2. Connect a jumper wire between sending unit fuel pickup tube and a good
ground. 3. Secure sending unit float arm in the empty stop position and turn ignition On. Within two
minutes, the gauge should read Empty, plus one pointer
width or minus two pointer widths.
4. Move float arm and secure in the full stop position. Within two minutes, the gauge should read
Full, plus two pointer widths, or minus one pointer
width.
5. If fuel gauge does not operate as specified, check the following:
a. Wiring and electrical connections between sending unit and connector. b. Wiring and electrical
connections between connector and printed circuit board terminals. c. Circuit continuity between
printed circuit board terminals and gauge terminals. d. Voltage limiter performance.
6. If fuel gauge operates as specified with known good sending unit, check fuel tank and original
sending unit as follows:
a. Remove sending unit from fuel tank. b. Connect sending unit wire and jumper wire as previously
described. c. If fuel gauge now operates as specified, check sending unit for damage, obstructions
or improper installation and correct as necessary.

Symptom/Condition, Diagnosis & Parts Information
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Steering Gear: Service and Repair Saginaw Rotary Valve Power Steering Gears
Four factors affect power operation of the steering system: fluid level and condition, drive belt
tension, pump pressure and steering gear adjustment. These should always be checked before
any major service operations are performed. Conditions such as, hard or loose steering, road
shock or vibrations are not always due to steering gear or pump, but are often related instead to
such factors as low tire pressure and front end alignment. These factors should be checked and
corrected before any adjustment of the steering gear is made.
CHECKING FLUID LEVEL
1. Run engine to normal operating temperature, then shut it off. Remove reservoir filler cap and
check oil level on dipstick. Level should be up to
"Full" mark on dipstick.
2. If level is low, add power steering fluid to proper level on dipstick and replace filler cap. When
adding less than one pint of fluid, it is
permissible to use automatic transmission fluid. When adding larger quantities or when making a
complete fluid change, it is recommended that special power steering fluid be used.
3. When checking fluid level after system has been serviced, air must be bled from the system as
outlined under "Bleeding System."
BLEEDING SYSTEM
1. With wheels turned all the way to the left, add the recommended fluid to the "Add" mark on
dipstick. 2. Start engine. While running at fast idle, recheck fluid level and, if necessary, add fluid to
the "Add" mark on dipstick. 3. Bleed system by turning wheels from side to side without hitting
stops. Maintain fluid level just above internal pump casting. Fluid with air in it
will have a light tan appearance. This air must be eliminated from fluid before normal steering
action can be obtained.
4. Return wheels to center position and continue to run engine for two or three minutes, then shut it
off. 5. Road test vehicle to make sure steering functions normally and is free from noise. 6.
Recheck fluid level, making sure level is at the "Full" mark.

Do not re-install the spindle nut and attempt to slide-hammer the grease seal from the hub.
WHEEL BEARING REPACKING
- The hub and spindle should be thoroughly cleaned of all old grease.
- The bearings should be cleaned in solvent and allowed to dry completely.
WARNING: Do not spin dry the bearings with compressed air, this practice can rapidly damage
bearings.
- If possible use a commercial wheel bearing packer, otherwise repack the bearings by hand.
Hand Repacking Place a quantity of high-temperature, multi purpose wheel bearing grease in the palm of your hand.
- Cup the bottom of the bearing cage (the wider end) into the palm of your hand forcing grease up
through the cage. Repeat the procedure until the new grease is pushed out of the top of the cage.
- Repeat this around the entire circumference of the bearing.
- Apply a coating of new wheel bearing grease to the spindle and the inside of the hub.
NOTE: The hub should not be completely packed with new grease. As the brakes are applied the
hub will heat up and the grease will expand. If an excessive amount of grease is prepacked into the
hub, upon heating it will force its way past the grease seals and contaminate the brake system.
- Also apply a thin coating of grease to the inside lip of the new grease seals.
NOTE: The side of the grease seal from which the spring is visible should point towards the
bearing.

Universal Joint: Service and Repair Constant Velocity Type
Fig. 9 Constant velocity (CV) universal joint
This type of universal joint, consists of two conventional cross and roller joints connected with a
special link yoke. Because the two joint angles are the same, even though the usual universal joint
fluctuation is present within the unit, the acceleration of the front joint (within the yoke) is always
neutralized by the deceleration of the rear joint (within the yoke) and vice versa. The end result is
the front and rear propeller shafts always turn at a constant velocity.

The voltmeter is a gauge which measures the electrical flow from the battery to indicate whether
the battery output is within tolerances. The voltmeter reading can range from 13.5-14.0 volts under
normal operating conditions. If an undercharge or overcharge condition is indicated for an extended
period, the battery and charging system should be checked.
TROUBLESHOOTING To check voltmeter, turn key and headlights on with engine off. Pointer
should move to 12.5 volts. If no needle movement is observed, check connections from battery to
circuit breaker. If connections are tight and meter shows no movement, check wire continuity. If
wire continuity is satisfactory, the meter is inoperative and must be replaced.

As shown, the wormshaft on the lower end of the steering shaft and the ball nut which is mounted
on the worm have mating spiral grooves in which steel balls circulate to provide a low friction drive
between wormshaft and ball nut. Two sets of balls are used, ranging in number from approximately
20 to 30 to a set, depending upon the size of the gear unit. Each set of balls operate independently
of the other. The circuit through which each set of balls circulates includes the grooves in the worm
and ball nut and a ball return guide attached to the outer surface of the nut. When the wheel and
steering shaft turn to the left, the ball nut is moved downward by the balls which roll between the
worm and nut. As the balls

Symptom/Condition, Diagnosis & Parts Information
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

pickup similar
1. With distributor removed from vehicle, perform Steps 1 to 3 as outlined in Distributor
Disassemble.
2. Remove pickup coil and upper plate by depressing retainer clip and moving it away from
mounting stud. Pickup coil cannot be removed from upper plate.
3. Lightly lubricate upper plate pivot pin and lower plate support pins with distributor lubricant.
Install upper plate pivot pin through smallest hole in lower plate and install retainer clip. The upper
plate must ride on the support pins on the lower plate.
4. Install lower and upper plates and pickup coil as an assembly and install distributor into vehicle.
On dual pickup distributors, the start pickup may be identified by a two prong male connector and
the run pickup may be identified by a male-female plug, Fig. 17.
5. To set air gap on all single pickup distributors and start pickup of dual pickup distributors, align
one reluctor tooth with pickup pole and install a .006 inch non-magnetic feeler gauge between
reluctor tooth and pickup pole, Figs. 17 and 18. Rotate pickup coil until contact is made between
reluctor tooth, feeler gauge and pickup pole. Tighten pickup coil hold down screw and remove
feeler gauge. The feeler gauge should be removed without force. If it cannot, readjust gap.
6. To set air gap on run pickup of dual pickup distributors, first adjust start pickup as described in
step 5, then adjust run pickup as described in step 5. Use a .012 inch non-magnetic feeler gauge to
adjust run pickup air gap.
7. Perform a second gap check using a .008 inch feeler gauge on all single pickup distributors and
on start pickup of dual pickup distributor or a .014 inch feeler gauge on run pickup of dual pickup
distributors. Do not force feeler gauge between reluctor tooth and pickup pole as it is possible to do
so. The feeler gauge should not be able to fit between the reluctor tooth and pickup pole if air gap
is correctly set. Apply vacuum to vacuum control unit. Pickup should not contact reluctor tooth.
Readjust air gap if contact occurs. If pickup contacts reluctor teeth on one side of shaft only, the
distributor shaft is most likely bent and shaft replacement required.

Brake Fluid: Service and Repair
Aluminum Master Cylinder
NOTES:
- With disc brakes, fluid level can be expected to fall as the brake pads wear.
- Check master cylinder fluid level twice annually.
- Master cylinder reservoirs are marked with the words "fill to bottom of rings".
1. Wipe caps and reservoir clean to prevent dirt and foreign matter from dropping into the reservoir.
2. Remove the caps to check the level.
- On aluminum master cylinder add DOT 3 fluid to bring the level to the bottom of the primary split
ring.
- On the cast iron master cylinder, add DOT 3 fluid to bring the level to within a 1/4 inch of the top
of reservoir.
CAUTION: Use fluid other than DOT 3 that may have a lower boiling point -- such as fluid identified
as 7OR1 or unidentified as to specification -- could result in brake failure during long, hard braking.
CAUTION: Do not use fluid which has been stored in an unsealed container. Brake fluid stored in
this manner will absorb moisture which could result in brake failure during long, hard braking.
CAUTION: Use of petroleum based fluids will result in seal damage.

Brake Disc: Testing and Inspection
Fig 2 Disc Measuring Points
PURPOSE
In the manufacturing of the brake rotor all the tolerances regarding surface finish, parallelism, 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 (0.015-inch) in depth is normal. This
condition does not affect the brake operation.
Some discoloration or wear of the disc surface is normal and does not require re-surfacing when
linings are replaced.

(standard) axles during April, 1984.
The new seal replaces the old seal, PN 2931875, in all of these applications, and will service prior
model year applications. The new seal features a flange which insures installation to the proper
depth, and incorporates a sealant on the outside diameter. These features provide improved
sealing.
The new seal can be installed by using existing Miller Special Tool. Use Miller Special Tool
#C-4202 and handle #C-4171 to install the seal. Turn Tool #C-4202 so that the flat side is against
the seal. Drive the seal flange flush with the axle housing.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE SPECIAL SERVICE TOOL #C-4130 CALLED OUT IN THE SERVICE

Description and Operation
Ammeter Gauge: Description and Operation
The ammeter is an instrument used to indicate current flow into and out of the battery. When
electrical accessories in the vehicle draw more current than the alternator can supply, current flows
from the battery, and the ammeter indicates a discharge ( - ) condition. When electrical loads of the
vehicle are less than alternator output, current is available to charge the battery, and the ammeter
indicates a charge (+) condition. If battery is fully charged, the voltage regulator reduces alternator
output to meet only immediate vehicle electrical loads. When this happens, ammeter reads zero.
Fig. 1 Typical conventional type ammeter
CONVENTIONAL AMMETER A conventional ammeter must be connected between the battery
and alternator in order to indicate current flow. This type ammeter consists of a frame to which a
permanent magnet is attached. The frame also supports an armature and pointer assembly.
Current in this system flows from the alternator through the ammeter, then to the battery or from
the battery through the ammeter into the vehicle electrical system, depending on vehicle operating
conditions. When no current flows through the ammeter, the magnet holds the pointer armature so
that the pointer stands at the center of the dial. When current passes in either direction through the
ammeter, the resulting magnetic field attracts the armature away from the effect of the permanent
magnet, thus giving a reading proportional to the strength of the current flowing.
Troubleshooting When the ammeter apparently fails to register correctly, there may be trouble in
the wiring which connects the ammeter to the alternator and battery or in the alternator or battery
itself. To check the connections, first tighten the two terminal posts on the back of the ammeter.
Then, following each wire from the ammeter, tighten all connections on the ignition switch, battery
and alternator. Chafed, burned or broken insulation can be found by following each ammeter wire
from end to end. All wires with chafed, burned or broken insulation should be repaired or replaced.
After this is done, and all connections are tightened, connect the battery cable and turn on the
ignition switch. The needle should point slightly to the discharge ( - ) side. Start the engine and run
slightly above idling speed. The needle should move slowly to the charge side (+). If the pointer
does not move as indicated, the ammeter is out of order and should be replaced.
SHUNT TYPE AMMETER The shunt type ammeter is actually a specifically calibrated voltmeter. If
it connected to read voltage drop across a resistance wire (shunt) between the battery and
alternator. The shunt is located either in the vehicle wiring or within the ammeter itself. When
voltage is higher at the alternator end of the shunt, the meter indicates a charge (+) condition.
When voltage is higher at the battery end of the shunt, the meter indicates a discharge ( - )
condition. When voltage is equal at both ends of the shunt, the meter reads zero.
Troubleshooting Ammeter accuracy can be determined by comparing reading with an ammeter of
known accuracy.
1. With engine stopped and ignition switch in RUN position, switch on headlamps and heater fan.
Meter should indicate a discharge ( - ) condition. 2. If ammeter pointer does not move, check
ammeter terminals for proper connection and check for open circuit in wiring harness. If
connections and
wiring harness are satisfactory, ammeter is defective.
3. If ammeter indicates a charge (+) condition, wiring harness connections are reversed at
ammeter.

Fuel Gauge: Testing and Inspection
A hinged float arm in the fuel tank contacts a variable resistor in the gauge sending unit. The
varying resistance in the fuel gauge circuit registers on the instrument panel gauge. Resistance in
the circuit is lowest when the fuel tank is full and float arm is raised. The resulting high current flow
causes the instrument panel gauge to indicate Full.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Disconnect electrical connector from fuel tank sending unit and attach connector to a known
good sending unit. 2. Connect a jumper wire between sending unit fuel pickup tube and a good
ground. 3. Secure sending unit float arm in the empty stop position and turn ignition On. Within two
minutes, the gauge should read Empty, plus one pointer
width or minus two pointer widths.
4. Move float arm and secure in the full stop position. Within two minutes, the gauge should read
Full, plus two pointer widths, or minus one pointer
width.
5. If fuel gauge does not operate as specified, check the following:
a. Wiring and electrical connections between sending unit and connector. b. Wiring and electrical
connections between connector and printed circuit board terminals. c. Circuit continuity between
printed circuit board terminals and gauge terminals. d. Voltage limiter performance.
6. If fuel gauge operates as specified with known good sending unit, check fuel tank and original
sending unit as follows:
a. Remove sending unit from fuel tank. b. Connect sending unit wire and jumper wire as previously
described. c. If fuel gauge now operates as specified, check sending unit for damage, obstructions
or improper installation and correct as necessary.

Description and Operation
Idle Enrichment Switch: Description and Operation
Fig. 44 Idle enrichment system
The idle enrichment system, Fig. 44, improves cold engine driveability by using a metering system
related to the basic carburetor instead of the choke. During cold engine operation, the complete
idle system will be enriched. Idle system air is controlled by a small diaphragm mounted near the
top of the carburetor. When control vacuum is applied to the diaphragm, idle system air is reduced,
resulting in an increased fuel flow and a richer air/fuel mixture. The vacuum signal to the carburetor
diaphragm is controlled by a thermal switch which is in contact with the engine coolant flow. When
the engine is cold, the switch is open and the vacuum signal is passed to the diaphragm. As the
engine warms, the switch closes, eliminating the vacuum signal and returning the carburetor
metering to normal, lean levels. On some systems, this engine coolant vacuum switch controls the
duration of idle system enrichment. In other systems, similar coolant vacuum switches are used,
but the switch receives its vacuum signal from a solenoid valve operated by an electric timer. Idle
enrichment will last for approximately 35 seconds. When the engine warms, the thermal switch will
prevent additional cycles of idle enrichment, however, when the engine is cold, each restart will
cycle the enrichment for an additional 35 seconds. The switches used in solenoid controlled
systems close at approximately 150° F., while others close at approximately 98° F. All switches
open at approximately 12° F.

Symptom/Condition, Diagnosis & Parts Information
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Testing and Inspection
Brake Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Testing and Inspection
Brake Warning Switch Testing
1. Raise the car on a hoist and open a wheel cylinder bleeder while a helper depresses the brake
pedal and observes the warning light. 2. If the light fails to light, inspect for a burned out bulb,
disconnected socket, or a broken or disconnected wire at the switch. 3. If the bulb is not burned out
and the wire continuity is uninterrupted, check the service brake warning switch operation with a
test lamp between
the switch terminal and a voltage source.
4. If light still fails to light, disconnect the brake tubes from the valve assembly and install a new
valve assembly. 5. If a new valve is installed, bleed the system.
CAUTIONS:
- Do not disassemble valve to reset the piston.
- The warning switch is not serviced separately. Do not remove the switch or attempt to repair.
NOTE: After repairing and bleeding the brake system, applying the brakes with moderate force will
hydraulically recenter the piston and automatically turn off the warning light.

Description and Operation
Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
A bimetal temperature switch located in the cylinder head controls the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a burned out bulb, an open in
the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch.
If the red light is lit when the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a
ground, defective temperature switch, or overheated cooling system.
As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is functioning properly, a wire which is connected to
the ground terminal of the ignition switch is tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the "Start"
(engine cranking) position, the ground terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will
be lit. When the engine is started and the ignition switch is in the "On" position, the test circuit is
opened and the bulb is then controlled by the temperature switch.

antifreeze/coolant in the dealership. Some of the systems have been advertised as producing a
recycled antifreeze "as good as" original and suggest the recycled product is suitable for use in
Chrysler Corporation vehicles.
Tests, so far, indicate most of these systems merely remove suspended solids from the used
antifreeze/coolant through the use of various size filters. These systems do not remove glycol
degradation products, or dissolved solids, which can cause water pump seal wear.
These systems use a universal "reinhibitor package". The "reinhibitor package" can not restore
every type antifreeze/coolant inhibitor system to a like new condition.
Tests results indicate these "recycled" products do not consistently provide the protection required
in Chrysler Corporation engines and cooling systems.
The use of these "reconstituted" antifreeze/coolants is not authorized in the performance of any
repair covered under the provisions of the warranty.

Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Hydraulic Brake Booster: Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview
Keep all disassembled parts clean until assembly. Lubricate all seals and metal friction points with
power steering fluid. When unit is disassembled, all seals and tube inserts should be replaced.
These parts are available in replacement kits. If any accumulator valve components are damaged
or lost, replace all valve components.
1. Inspect spool valve and spool valve bore for corrosion, nicks, scoring or other damage.
Discoloration of the spool or bore, particularly in the
groove areas, is not harmful and replacement is not necessary.
2. If spool valve or bore has nicks or scoring that can be felt with a fingernail, the entire booster
should be replaced as an assembly. The clearance
between the spool valve and the spool valve bore is important. Because of this clearance, the
spool valve and the housing make up a selective assembly. The spool valve is selected to match
the spool valve bore.
3. Inspect piston for scratches and nicks. If scratches on the outside surface can be felt with a
fingernail, replace piston.

Removal Notes
Brake Caliper: Fundamentals and Basics Removal Notes
When Removing the Caliper, Remember...
- Prior to removing the calipers, remove/siphon brake fluid from master-cylinder until the reservoir
is only 1/3 full.
- Brake fluid will remove paint and damage electrical connections. Use a drip pan and fender
covers to protect the vehicle's finish and electrical system.
- Always replace all brake linings on an axle. Never replace only one wheel. Unequal lining
thickness between wheels on the same axle will result in a strong steering pull when the brakes are
applied.
- Work on one side at a time. If you forget how to reassemble the parts you can always use the
other side as a model.
- When forcing the piston back into the caliper, open the bleeder valve first. Corrosion and other
deposits accumulate inside of the caliper. If the bleeder valve is not opened when the piston is
forced back into the caliper, these deposits will be forced back through the brake lines and into the
master-cylinder.
- When pushing the pistons back into the caliper with the bleeder screw open, a stream of brake
fluid will be expelled from the bleeder screw for 2-3 feet. Use a drip pan and be careful not to
"shoot" brake fluid onto the vehicle's finish. A cleaner method is to use a piece of clear plastic hose
and a glass or plastic jar to catch the expelled fluid.
- Upon removal, Do Not allow the calipers to hang by the flexible brake hoses. The brake hoses
can be damaged easily by this practice. These hoses are double walled, damage to the interior
pressure hose will not be visible.
- Do not depress the brake pedal with either caliper removed from the rotor. The caliper pistons will
be inadvertently expelled from the caliper. If this occurs rebuild or replace the caliper, do not
attempt to insert the piston back into the caliper.

Description and Operation
Orifice Spark Advance Control (OSAC): Description and Operation
The OSAC system is used on some vehicles to aid in the control of oxides of nitrogen (NOx). The
system controls the vacuum to the vacuum advance actuator of the distributor. A tiny orifice is
incorporated in the OSAC valve which delays the change in ported vacuum to the distributor by
about 17 seconds (27 seconds on some models) when going from idle to part throttle. When going
from part throttle to idle, the change in ported vacuum to the distributor will be instantaneous. The
valve will only delay the ported vacuum signal when the ambient temperature is about 60° F. or
above. Vacuum is obtained by a vacuum tap just above the throttle plates of the carburetor. This
type of tap provides no vacuum at idle, but provides manifold vacuum as soon as the throttle plates
are opened slightly. Proper operation of this valve depends on air tight fittings and hoses and on
freedom from sticking or plugging due to deposits.

indicator will be BLACK or dark (75% to 50%) or RED (50% to 0%). Replacement of the battery will
be necessary if the test indicator is YELLOW or bright in color. This would be an indication of low
fluid level.
The test indicator is a built-in hydrometer on top of the battery case. it provides visual information
for battery testing. The test indicator is to be used with accepted diagnostic procedures only. It
should not be used to determine if the battery is good or bad.
It is important when observing the test indicator that the battery be relatively level, and the indicator
itself be clean. A light may be required to view the indicator.
Under normal operating conditions, one of four conditions can be observed with a
maintenance-free battery
1. GREEN DOT
Any green appearance is interpreted as a "GREEN DOT" (100% to 75% state of charge), and the
battery is adequately charged for testing. On rare occasions following prolonged cranking, the
green dot may still be visible with a low battery voltage (below 12.4 volts) indicated on your
voltmeter. Should this condition occur, charge the battery as described in the shop manual under
"Battery Charging Procedures."
2. DARK OR BLACK DOT
A DARK or BLACK DOT (50% to 75% state of charge) indication is a result of the battery being
partially discharged, but not below the 45% level. The battery should be checked and charged until
the GREEN DOT visible prior to performing a load test.
3. RED DOT
A RED DOT visible in the viewing port will be an indication that the battery is BELOW a 50% state
of charge and it will be necessary to charge the battery until the GREEN DOT is visible, PRIOR to
performing any testing. DO NOT let the battery remain in a discharged state as internal damage
may occur.
WARNING: ON RARE OCCASIONS, THE TEST INDICATOR MAY TURN A "LIGHT YELLOW"
OR "BRIGHT" COLOR. THIS INDICATES A LOW ELECTROLYTE LEVEL. THE VEHICLE'S
CHARGING SYSTEM SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY CHECKED FOR AN OVERCHARGING
CONDITION. ALTHOUGH THE BATTERY MAY BE CAPABLE OF FUTURE SERVICE, REPLACE
IT. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHARGE, TEST, OR JUMP START THE VEHICLE.
BATTERY VISUAL INSPECTION
1. Make sure the ignition switch is in the "OFF" position and all battery feed accessories are off.
2. Disconnect the battery cables at the negative cable first.
3. Remove battery hold-down clamp and remove battery from vehicle.
WARNING: CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN, IN THE EVENT THE BATTERY CASE IS CRACKED OR
LEAKING, TO PROTECT HANDS FROM THE ELECTROLYTE. A SUITABLE PAIR OF
NON-ABSORBENT GLOVES SHOULD BE WORN WHEN REMOVING THE BATTERY BY HAND.
4. Clean the top of the battery with a solution of clean warm water and baking soda. Scrub area
with a stiff bristle brush and wipe off with a cloth moistened with ammnonia or baking soda and
water.
5. Inspect battery case and cover for cracks. If cracks are present, the battery must be replaced.
6. Inspect the battery tray for damage caused by loss of acid from the battery. If acid damage is
present, it will be necessary to clean the area with the same solution as described in Step 4.
7. Clean the battery posts with a suitable battery post cleaning tool.
8. Clean the inside surfaces of the terminal clamps with a suitable battery cleaning tool. Replace
damaged or frayed cables and broken terminal clamps.
9. Inspect the battery for damage around the hold-down ledge. If damage is present, replace the
battery.
10. Install the battery in the vehicle, making sure that the battery is properly positioned in the
battery tray. Install the hold-down clamp and bolt. Tighten the battery hold-down clamp bolt (refer to
the service manual for proper torque specification).
11. Connect the cable clamps to the battery posts, making sure that the clamps are flush with the
tops of the battery posts. Tighten the clamps securely, and coat all connections with mineral grease
after tightening.

A full rotation will move the thimble exactly one minor division on the sleeve.
To read the micrometer you must add the measurement which is visible on the sleeve to the
measurement which is showing on the thimble
In the example the sleeve measurement is 0.250 inches and the thimble measurement is 0.017
inches. The total measurement is then equal to the two measurements combined, 0.267 inches.
NOTES
The accuracy and calibration of a micrometer can be altered easily by applying too much pressure
to the spindle. Use the thimble to quickly rotate the spindle in until it is near the rotor.
- Use the ratchet to rotate the spindle into contact with the rotor.
- The ratchet has a built in slip which prevents excessive stress or pressure from developing.
Calibrate the micrometer regularly. Most micrometers come with a precision dowel which allows for
easy and accurate adjustments.

Speedometer Cable: Testing and Inspection
The following material covers only that service on speedometers which is feasible to perform.
Repairs on the units themselves are not included as they require special tools and extreme care
when making repairs and adjustments that only an experienced speedometer mechanic should
attempt. The speedometer has two main parts, the speedometer head and the speedometer drive
cable. When the speedometer fails to indicate speed or mileage, the cable or cable housing is
probably broken.
SPEEDOMETER CABLE
Most cables are broken due to lack of lubrication, or a sharp bend or kink in the housing. A cable
might break because of the speedometer head mechanism binds. In such cases, the speedometer
head should be repaired or replaced before a new cable or housing is installed. A "jumpy" pointer
condition, together with a scraping noise, is due, in most instances, to a dry or kinked speedometer
cable. The kinked cable rubs on the housing and winds up, slowing down the pointer. The cable
then unwinds and the pointer "jumps." To check for kinks, remove the cable, lay it on a flat surface
and twist one end with the fingers. If it turns over smoothly the cable is not kinked. But if part of the
cable flops over as it is twisted, the cable is kinked and should be replaced.
LUBRICATION The speedometer cable should be lubricated with special cable lubricant. Fill the
ferrule on the upper end of the housing with the cable lubricant. Insert the cable in the housing,
starting at the upper end. Turn the cable around carefully while feeding it into the housing. Repeat
filling the ferrule except for the last six inches of cable. Too much lubricant at this point may cause
the lubricant to work into the speedometer head.
INSTALLING CABLE During installation, if the cable sticks when inserted in the housing and will
not go through, the housing is damaged inside or kinked. Be sure to check the housing from one
end to the other. Straighten any sharp bends by relocating clamps or elbows. Replace housing if it
is badly kinked or broken. Position the cable and housing so that they lead into the head as straight
as possible. Check the new cable for kinks before installing it. Use wide, sweeping, gradual curves
where the cable comes out of the transmission and connects to the head so the cable will not be
damaged during installation. Arrange the housing so it does not lean against the engine because
heat from the engine may dry out the lubricant. If inspection indicates that the cable and housing
are in good condition, yet pointer action is erratic, check the speedometer head for possible
binding. The speedometer drive pinion should also be checked. If the pinion is dry or its teeth are
stripped, the speedometer may not register properly.

to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.

08-11-84
P-982-C SYMPTOM/CONDITION
The magnetic type of voltmeters used in subject 1984 vehicles are sensitive to heat build up inside
the instrument cluster housing. The increased heat that builds up places the voltmeter indicator
toward the high end of the "normal" operating portion of the meter or, under the right conditions,
may just enter the "high warning" portion of the meter.
The conditions causing this high reading are as follows:
^ An hour or more of continuous driving at cold ambient temperatures (cold temperature operation
causes the voltage regulator output to be higher than hot temperature operation).
^ Instrument cluster illumination lamps and/or heater/defroster on, which increases temperatures
around the voltmeter.
If a high voltmeter reading exists, verify battery and charging system are operating normally per
service manual procedures. If system meets specifications, assure customer that system is
operating properly. Do not replace voltage regulator or voltmeter if test results meet service manual
specifications.
A defective voltage regulator (overcharging) will normally cause the voltmeter to read well into the
warning area (full scale) and will occur immediately, not over a period of an hour or more.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Description and Operation
CONSTANT VOLTAGE REGULATOR (CVR) TYPE
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING
A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions included with the tester.

Hydraulic Brake Booster: Description and Operation Hydro-Boost II
Hydro-Boost II is an hydraulically operated power brake booster. The hydraulic brake booster
consists of an open center spool valve and an hydraulic cylinder combined into a single housing.
The power steering pump provides the hydraulic fluid pressure to operate both the power brake
booster and the power steering gear.
A dual master cylinder is bolted to the brake booster and is operated by a pushrod projecting from
the booster cylinder bore. The Hydro-Boost II also has an accumulator system which stores
sufficient fluid under pressure to provide one power assisted brake application when steering pump
failure occurs.

TESTING Battery must be fully charged for test to be accurate.
1. Clean battery terminals, then connect positive lead of a suitable voltmeter to battery positive post
and the negative lead to a suitable ground.
2. Connect an engine tachometer, then start and operate engine at 1250 RPM with all lights and
accessories in the "off" position.
3. Note voltmeter readings, then refer to voltage chart. An ammeter reading registering an
immediate charge, then gradually returning to normal, is normal. The duration the ammeter
remains positioned to the right depends on cranking time.
TEST RESULTS
1. If voltage is fluctuating or below limits, proceed as follows:
a. Ensure voltage regulator has a proper ground through regulator case, mounting screws and
chassis. b. Place ignition switch in "off" position, then disconnect voltage regulator connector and
inspect for a possible open circuit. c. Place ignition switch in "on" position. Do not start engine or
distort terminals with voltmeter probe. d. Ensure battery voltage exists at blue and green leads at
voltage regulator wiring harness terminals, then place ignition switch in "off" position.
If steps a through d are satisfactory, replace voltage regulator.

GROUP: ELECTRICAL
DATE: Apr. 22, 1991
SUBJECT: Trailer Tow Wiring Installation
MODELS:
ALL DODGE TRUCKS
DISCUSSION:
Improper installation of trailer tow wiring or electrical components can cause erratic operation of the
vehicles electrical system. When installing wiring or additional components, or diagnosing a vehicle
with erratic electrical operation, observe the following guidelines.
^ Inspect trailer wiring for bare or broken wires, corroded splices and terminals, shorted lamp
sockets, poor or insufficient grounding between the trailer wiring system and trailer frame.
^ When connecting lighting circuits, use a factory trailer tow wiring harness or a Mopar service kit if
available. Mopar kits include mating connectors and do not require cutting or splicing of vehicle
wiring. If cutting or splicing is required, the attached Wiring Procedure should be followed.
^ When installing any electrical equipment (such as electric brakes, battery chargers, lighting, and
winches) make sure that the tow vehicles electrical ground is hard wired to the trailer electrical
ground. Ground wires should be attached to a clean, bare metal surface, not to a painted surface.
DO NOT rely on the trailer hitch coupling for ground.
^ When using butt splice connectors, test the splice integrity by pulling on the wires after crimping.
^ DO NOT use insulation displacement or insulation piercing crimp type terminals.
^ Some electrical equipment will require splicing into the vehicle wiring. Follow the attached Wiring
Procedure when installing these components.
WIRING PROCEDURE
1. With the ignition key in the OFF position, disconnect the battery.
2. Remove one inch of insulation from each wire to be connected.
3. Slide a piece of heat shrink tubing (PN 4419644) onto one wire.

DISASSEMBLY CONSTANT VELOCITY JOINT
To disassemble the constant velocity joint, the bearings should be removed in sequence shown.
This method requires the least amount of work. 1. Mark all yokes before disassembly as shown, so
that they can be reassembled in their original relationship to maintain driveshaft balance. The
following procedure can be performed in a vise and a cross press tool, can be used in place of the
socket used to drive the bearings.
2. Support the driveshaft horizontally in line with the base plate of a press. Place rear end of
coupling yoke over a 1-1/8 inch socket to accept the
bearing. Place a socket slightly smaller than the bearing on the opposite side of the spider.

Cleaning, Inspecting & Honing Caliper
Fig 14 Honing Piston Bore
Clean all parts using alcohol or a suitable solvent and blow dry, using compressed air. Blow out all
drilled passages and bores.
NOTE: Whenever a caliper has been disassembled, a new boot and seal must be installed at
reassembly.
Inspect the piston bore for scoring or pitting. Install a new piston if it is pitted, scored or the plating is severely worn.
- Bores that show light scratches or corrosion, can usually be cleared with crocus cloth.
- Bores that have deep scratches or scoring should be honed, using Tool C-4095, or equivalent,
providing the diameter of the bore is not increased more than 0.002 inch (0.050mm).
- If the bore does not clean up within this specification, a new caliper housing should be installed.

Brake Hose/Line: Testing and Inspection
NOTE: Flexible rubber hose is used at both front brakes and at a rear axle junction block.
Inspection of brake hoses should be performed whenever the brake system is serviced and every
7,500 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first (every engine oil change).
Inspect flexible hydraulic brake hoses for: Severe surface cracking
- Scuffing
- Worn spots
If the fabric casing of the rubber hose is exposed due to cracks or abrasions in the rubber hose
cover, the hose should be replaced immediately!
Eventual deterioration of the hose can take place with possible burst failure.
CAUTION: Faulty installation can cause twisting, and wheel, tire or chassis interference.
Inspect steel brake tubing for: Evidence of physical damage that may restrict fluid flow.
- Heavily corroded tubing may eventually develop a leak.
In either case, the tubing should be replaced.

9. Remove and discard O-ring from knuckle, if equipped, then carefully remove axle shaft
assembly. Examine inner seal surface and knuckle bore for
wear or damage and replace knuckle if required. If outer axle shaft seal surface is grooved, repair
as follows: a. Measure in from yoke shoulder of axle approximately 3/8 inch. Use a center punch
and stake at 1/4 inch intervals around circumference of
shaft. This will size shaft and ensure a tight fit of inner seal slinger.
b. Proper bearing clamp should be checked by installing bearing cups and spacer into knuckle bore
and bolting bearing retainer to knuckle. If a
0.004 inch feeler gauge can not be inserted between knuckle and retainer at the six places midway
between retainer mounting ears, the knuckle must be replaced. The brake dust shield may have to
be removed to complete this check. If knuckle is serviceable, remove retainer, bearing cups and
spacer and install dust shield if removed.

Brake Disc: Service and Repair Rotor Refinishing
CAUTION: Servicing of disc brakes is extremely critical due to the close tolerances required in
machining the brake disc to insure proper brake operation.
Tolerance and Precision The maintenance of these close controls on the friction surfaces is
necessary to prevent brake roughness.
In addition, the surface finish must be non-directional and maintained at a micro-inch finish. This close control of the rubbing surface finish is necessary to avoid pulls and erratic performance
and promote long lining life and equal lining wear of both left and right brakes.
In light of the foregoing remarks, refinishing of the rubbing surfaces should not be attempted unless
precision equipment, capable of measuring in micro-inches (millionths of an inch) is available.
CAUTION: Do not reface a disc brake rotor more than 0.030 inch (0.762mm) less than the original
disc minimum thickness. Reface both sides of rotor, not exceeding 0.030 (0.762mm) total.
NOTE: All rotors (disc) will show marking of minimum allowable thickness cast on the un-machined
surface. This marking includes 0.030 inch (0.762mm) allowable rotor wear beyond the recommended 0.030
inch (0.762mm) of disc refacing.
Example: Minimum Allowable Thickness 0.940 in (23.8mm)
- Allow for Wear 0.030 in (0.762mm)
- Do Not Reface Beyond 0.970 in (24.6mm)

Brake Disc: Fundamentals and Basics Wheel Bearing Inspection and Repacking
WHEEL BEARING INSPECTION
Inspect the wheel bearing closely for the following:
Fatigue Spalding
Look for small flakes of shiny metal (babbit) embedded in the grease. This can easily be done by
dragging the bearing across a clean shop towel. Any metal flakes will be readily visible in the
grease deposited on the shop towel. If any flakes are found the wheel bearing should be replaced.
Brinelling
Look for a series of vertical indentations on the races. This is caused by impact loading or vibration
while the bearing is not rotating. Replace the bearing if the indentations are severe or the bearing is
noisy.
Heat Discoloration
Heat discoloration can range from faint yellow to dark blue. This results from the bearing being
adjusted too tightly or an insufficient amount of lubricant/grease.
Excessive heat can cause the races and rollers to soften. To check for a loss of temper on the
races or rollers a simple file test may be performed. A file drawn lightly over a race or roller which
has lost its case hardening will grab and cut metal, whereas a file drawn lightly over a hardened
part will glide readily without scratching the metal.
Replace the bearing and race if softening is indicated.
Cracked Outer Race
Cracked races often result from the race being driven in cocked or at an angle. Replace the
bearing and race and be careful to drive the new race in evenly.
Loose Outer Race
Check to see that the race is tight and secure in the hub. If there is any evidence of movement or
slippage, replace both the hub assembly and the bearing.
Bent or Damaged Cage
Verify that the cage has not been bent or distorted. Bent or damaged cages are often the result of
improper bearing and grease seal removal techniques.
When removing the inner wheel bearing use a seal puller to remove the grease seal. The inner
bearing should then just slide out of the hub.

Fuel Gauge Sender: Testing and Inspection
A hinged float arm in the fuel tank contacts a variable resistor in the gauge sending unit. The
varying resistance in the fuel gauge circuit registers on the instrument panel gauge. Resistance in
the circuit is lowest when the fuel tank is full and float arm is raised. The resulting high current flow
causes the instrument panel gauge to indicate Full.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Disconnect electrical connector from fuel tank sending unit and attach connector to a known
good sending unit. 2. Connect a jumper wire between sending unit fuel pickup tube and a good
ground. 3. Secure sending unit float arm in the empty stop position and turn ignition On. Within two
minutes, the gauge should read Empty, plus one pointer
width or minus two pointer widths.
4. Move float arm and secure in the full stop position. Within two minutes, the gauge should read
Full, plus two pointer widths, or minus one pointer
width.
5. If fuel gauge does not operate as specified, check the following:
a. Wiring and electrical connections between sending unit and connector. b. Wiring and electrical
connections between connector and printed circuit board terminals. c. Circuit continuity between
printed circuit board terminals and gauge terminals. d. Voltage limiter performance.
6. If fuel gauge operates as specified with known good sending unit, check fuel tank and original
sending unit as follows:
a. Remove sending unit from fuel tank. b. Connect sending unit wire and jumper wire as previously
described. c. If fuel gauge now operates as specified, check sending unit for damage, obstructions
or improper installation and correct as necessary.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
A bimetal temperature switch, located in the cylinder head, controls the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a burned out bulb, an open in
the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch.
If the red light is lit when the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a
ground, defective temperature switch, or overheated cooling system.
As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is functioning properly, a wire which is connected to
the ground terminal of the ignition switch is tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the "Start"
(engine cranking) position, the ground terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will
be lit. When the engine is started and the ignition switch is in the "On" position, the test circuit is
opened and the bulb is then controlled by the temperature switch.
Page 3896
Vacuum Gauge/Economy Meter: Testing and Inspection
Fig. 2 Typical vacuum gauge
This gauge measures intake manifold vacuum. The intake manifold vacuum varies with engine
operating conditions, carburetor adjustments, valve timing, ignition timing and general engine
condition. Since the optimum fuel economy is directly proportional to a properly functioning engine,
a high vacuum reading on the gauge relates to fuel economy. For this reason some manufacturers
call the vacuum gauge a "Fuel Economy Indicator." Most gauges have colored sectors the green
sector being the "Economy" range and the red the "Power" range. Therefore, the vehicle should be
operated with gauge registering in the green sector or a high numerical number for maximum
economy.
FUEL ECONOMY WARNING SYSTEM This system actually monitors the engine vacuum just like
the vacuum gauge, but all it registers is a low vacuum. The light on the instrument panel warns the
vehicle operator when engine manifold vacuum drops below the economical limit. Switch operation
is similar to that of the oil pressure indicating light, except that the switch opens when vacuum,
rather than oil pressure, is applied.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Fuel Economy Warning Light The fuel economy warning light should go on when the ignition is
turned on. If it does not light, disconnect the wire from the fuel economy vacuum switch connector
and ground the wire to the frame or cylinder block. If the warning light still does not go on, check for
burned out indicating bulb or an open in the harness between the vacuum switch and instrument
panel. If the warning light goes on, circuit is functioning and the vacuum switch should be checked
for proper ground. Remove and clean the mounting bracket screws and the mounting surfaces. If
system still does not operate, perform the following: With the electrical connector and vacuum tube
disconnected from the switch, connect a self-powered test light to the switch electrical connector
and to the vacuum gauge mounting bracket. Attach a vacuum pump to gauge (Rotunda Model No.
ZRE-10662 hand operated). If the following conditions are not met the switch has to be replaced:
1. With vacuum applied test light should be "Off". 2. With no vacuum to the vacuum switch test light
should be "On". 3. If the warning light remains lit when it normally should be out, check vacuum
hose to vacuum switch for damage or plugged condition.

This bulletin supersedes Technical Service Bulletin #18-19-85 which should be removed from your
files. The model application has been expanded to include 1981 and 1982 model years.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Fig. 8 Rotary valve components
1. If used, work spool spring onto bearing diameter of stub shaft and remove spool spring. 2. Tap
end of stub shaft gently against workbench to remove valve spool. Because of the slight clearance
between valve body and spool, the
slightest cocking of spool may jam it in valve body. If slight cocking occurs, make a gentle attempt
to reverse removal procedure. If this does not free spool, it has become cocked in valve body bore
and may be removed later.
3. Remove and discard valve spool dampener O-ring. 4. Remove stub shaft, torsion bar (small
diameter bar extending through stub shaft) and valve cap by tapping end of torsion bar lightly with
a plastic
hammer. This will dislodge cap from valve body cap pin. Do not disassemble stub shaft as these
parts are pinned together and serviced only as an assembly.
5. If valve spool has become cocked as mentioned above, first inspect parts to determine in which
direction the spool is cocked. A few very light taps
with a plastic hammer should align and free the spool in the bore. Remove and discard O-ring
dampener seal from spool.
6. Carefully remove valve body Teflon rings and ring back-up O-ring seals.

This bulletin supersedes Technical Service Bulletin #18-19-85 which should be removed from your
files. The model application has been expanded to include 1981 and 1982 model years.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Description and Operation
Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
A bimetal temperature switch located in the cylinder head controls the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a burned out bulb, an open in
the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch.
If the red light is lit when the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a
ground, defective temperature switch, or overheated cooling system.
As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is functioning properly, a wire which is connected to
the ground terminal of the ignition switch is tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the "Start"
(engine cranking) position, the ground terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will
be lit. When the engine is started and the ignition switch is in the "On" position, the test circuit is
opened and the bulb is then controlled by the temperature switch.

Fig. 34 Choke control switch. 6-225 & V8 engines less Rochester Quadrajet Carburetor
The electric assist choke, Fig. 32, is used to reduce carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbon (HC)
emission during engine starting and warm-up. The choke thermostatic coil spring reacts to engine
temperature, however, an electric heating element next to a bimetallic spring in the choke well will
assist engine heat to shorten choke duration, Fig. 33. The wattage of the choke heater is part of the
choke calibration and may change from year to year. The single stage electric assist choke will
provide a more rapid choke opening at temperatures above approximately 60° F., and a slower
choke opening below 60° F. A wire from the choke heater is connected to an electrical control
switch, Fig. 34. An oil pressure switch is connected in series with the control switch to prevent early
choke opening. As oil pressure increases, the choke control receives current. At 60° F. and above,
the choke heater is energized by the control switch. Since the heater control switch is mounted on
the engine, some cold weather operation may energize the choke heater. This could happen after
the choke has opened without benefit of electric heat. This condition will not have an adverse effect
on engine operation, and will soon be turned off. The dual stage control switch shortens choke
duration at temperatures above 80°F. and stabilizes choke duration during cold weather operation.
Cold weather heat levels are regulated by an electrical resistor connected to both terminals of the
control. At temperatures below 55°F., electrical power to the choke heating element is reduced by
the resistor. At temperature above 80°F., the resistor is bypassed by a switch inside the control to
supply full electrical power to the choke heater unit. When the engine is started during cold weather
conditions two levels of choke heat will be experienced, low during engine warm-up and high after
engine warm-up. High heat levels occur after the choke is open to ensure an open choke condition
under all driving conditions and minimize choking action which can occur after short stops during
cold weather operation. Engines started in hot weather conditions will not experience low choke
heat levels, as the switch is normally warmer than 80°F. The heating element should not be
exposed to, or immersed in, any fluid for any reason. An electric short in the wiring to the heater or
within the heater will be a short in the ignition system.

Clock: Testing and Inspection
Regulation of electric clocks is accomplished automatically by resetting the time. If the clock is
running fast, the action of turning the hands back to correct the time will automatically cause the
clock to run slightly slower. If the clock is running slow, the action of turning the hands forward to
correct the time will automatically cause the clock to run slightly faster (10 to 15 seconds day). A
lock-out feature prevents the clock regulator mechanism from being reset more than once per wind
cycle, regardless of the number of times the time is reset. After the clock rewinds, if the time is then
reset, automatic regulation will take place. If a clock varies over 10 minutes per day, it will never
adjust properly and must be repaired or replaced.
WINDING CLOCK WHEN CONNECTING BATTERY OR CLOCK WIRING The clock requires
special attention when reconnecting a battery that has been disconnected for any reason, a clock
that has been disconnected, or when replacing a blown clock fuse. It is very important that the
initial wind be fully made. The procedure is as follows:
1. Make sure that all other instruments and lights are turned off. 2. Connect positive cable to
battery. 3. Before connecting the negative cable, press the terminal to its post on the battery.
Immediately afterward, strike the terminal against the battery
post to see if there is a spark. If there is a spark, allow the clock to run down until it stops ticking,
and repeat as above until there is no spark. Then immediately make the permanent connection
before the clock can again run down. The clock will run down in approximately two minutes.
4. Reset clock after all connections have been made. The foregoing procedure should also be
followed when reconnecting the clock after it has been
disconnected, or if it has stopped because of a blown fuse. Be sure to disconnect battery before
installing a new fuse.
TROUBLESHOOTING If clock does not run, check for blown "clock" fuse. If fuse is blown, check
for short in wiring. If fuse is not blown, check for open circuit. With an electric clock, the most
frequent cause of clock fuse blowing is voltage at the clock which will prevent a complete wind and
allow clock contacts to remain closed. This may be caused by any of the following: discharged
battery, corrosion on contact surface of battery terminals, loose connections at battery terminals, at
junction block, at fuse clips, or at terminal connection of clock. Therefore, if in reconnecting battery
or clock it is noted that the clock is not ticking, always check for blown fuse, or examine the circuits
at the points indicated above to determine and correct the cause.
Front Band Adjustment
Band: Adjustments Front Band Adjustment
The kickdown band adjusting screw is located on the left side of the transmission case. 1. Loosen
lock nut and back off approximately five turns. Test adjusting for free turning in the transmission
case. 2. Using wrench, Tool C-3380-A with adapter C-3705, tighten adjusting screw 47 to 50 in.

Description and Operation
Orifice Spark Advance Control (OSAC): Description and Operation
The OSAC system is used on some vehicles to aid in the control of oxides of nitrogen (NOx). The
system controls the vacuum to the vacuum advance actuator of the distributor. A tiny orifice is
incorporated in the OSAC valve which delays the change in ported vacuum to the distributor by
about 17 seconds (27 seconds on some models) when going from idle to part throttle. When going
from part throttle to idle, the change in ported vacuum to the distributor will be instantaneous. The
valve will only delay the ported vacuum signal when the ambient temperature is about 60° F. or
above. Vacuum is obtained by a vacuum tap just above the throttle plates of the carburetor. This
type of tap provides no vacuum at idle, but provides manifold vacuum as soon as the throttle plates
are opened slightly. Proper operation of this valve depends on air tight fittings and hoses and on
freedom from sticking or plugging due to deposits.

Description and Operation
Fan Clutch: Description and Operation
Fig. 1 Fan drive clutch assembly. 1984-87 models (1980-83 models similar)
Fig. 2 Variable speed fan with coiled bimetallic thermostatic spring
Do not operate engine until fan has first been inspected for cracks and/or separations. If a fan
blade is found to be bent or damaged in any way, do not attempt to repair or reuse damaged part.
Proper balance is essential in fan assembly operation. Balance cannot be assured once a fan
assembly has been found to be bent or damaged and failure may occur during operation, creating
an extremely dangerous condition. Always replace damaged fan assembly.
The fan drive clutch is a fluid coupling containing silicone oil. Fan speed is regulated by the
torque-carrying capacity of the silicone oil. The more silicone oil in the coupling, the greater the fan
speed, and the less silicone oil, the slower the fan speed.
The fan drive clutch uses a heat-sensitive, coiled bimetallic spring connected to an opening plate.
This unit causes the fan speed to increase with a rise in temperature and to decrease as
temperature decreases.

About Brake System Bleeding
Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair About Brake System Bleeding
WHEN BLEEDING BRAKES REMEMBER...
- Brake fluid will remove paint and damage electrical connections. Use a drip pan and fender
covers to protect the vehicle's finish and electrical system.
- Always flush and bleed the brake hydraulic sys. when servicing the brakes, because:
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, after 3-4 years of service the water content of the brake
fluid may be as high as 6-7%. This significantly reduces the boiling point of the brake fluid which
may result in a soft pedal or brake failure during prolonged or severe braking. Corrosion deposits
and other contaminants gradually build up inside of the brake hydraulic sys. Check the bottom of
the master-cylinder reservoir for a build up of fine black silt. If any is present the brake fluid should
be flushed.
- Never reuse brake fluid that has been drained from the brake system.
DOT 3,4 or DOT 5
As a general rule DOT 5 brake fluid should not be used in vehicles recommending DOT 3 or 4 type
fluid.
DOT 5 brake fluid is silicone based. DOT 3 (standard) and DOT 4 (heavy-duty) are glycol-based.
DOT 5 can be distinguished from conventional brake fluids by its purple color (which comes from a
dye).
DOT 5 silicone brake fluid won't mix with glycol-based brake fluid (creating concern over sludging if
all old fluid isn't removed when a system is refilled with silicone).
Silicone does not absorb moisture. DOT 5 brake fluid does not become contaminated with moisture
over time as conventional DOT 3 and 4 brake fluids do. Silicone is also chemically inert, nontoxic
and won't damage paint like conventional brake fluid. It also has a higher boiling point.
Because of this, it is often marketed as a premium "lifetime" brake fluid. It is often used to preserve
brake systems in antique vehicles and those that sit for long periods of time between use.
Silicone also has slightly different physical properties and compressibility, making it unsuitable for
ABS systems calibrated to work with DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid.

addition of a template to the parts kit.
Symptom/Condition, Diagnosis & Parts Information
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Customer concern for a "snap" or "clunk".
^ After medium-heavy brake application to a stop is completed.
^ When accelerating from a stop.
^ At the 1-2 upshift.
DIAGNOSIS
Description of Condition
Drive line "snap" is a single snap or clunk noise sometimes heard when braking to a forward stop
or accelerating from a stop. It is ordinarily heard just as a stop is completed, when the vehicle
transitions from the nose-down braking attitude to the level-stationary attitude. It may also be heard
just as motion begins on acceleration or at the 1-2 upshift.
Forward direction braking causes the rear axle pinion noise to pitch downward from brake torque
reaction. The vehicle also assumes an overall nose-down attitude. The combination of these
motions results in maximum rearward excursion of the prop shaft in the slip yoke. At the end of the
stopping maneuver, the prop shaft would ordinarily slide smoothly back into the slip yoke. The
characteristic "snap" occurs when the prop shaft momentarily binds in the rearward position, then
abruptly "snaps" forward to the neutral position.
PARTS REQUIRED
1 Boot Package PN 4137901
REPAIR PROCEDURE
This repair consists of installing a boot package on the slip yoke.
1. Raise vehicle.
2. Remove rear driveshaft and slip yoke assembly.
3. Remove slip yoke from driveshaft. Inspect the splines on the driveshaft and in the slip yoke for
wear. Replace if excessive wear is observed.
4. Remove and discard the slip yoke snap-on rubber seal.
5. Thoroughly clean all old grease out of the slip yoke and driveshaft splines with a suitable solvent.
6. After cleaning the slip yoke in solvent, clean the cup plug vent hole area with Mopar Brake and
Carburetor Cleaner, PN 4318037. Seal the vent hole with an epoxy (2 part) cement (Duro Depend
II, PN MITB-1, or equivalent). Allow cure time as stated in the instructions.
7. Remove the slip yoke grease fitting and install the 1/4"-28 pipe plug supplied in the kit.
8. Apply and spread not more than half the supplied lubricant to the slip yoke splines and driveshaft

This bulletin supersedes Technical Service Bulletin #18-19-85 which should be removed from your
files. The model application has been expanded to include 1981 and 1982 model years.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Pulse Air Aspiration System
Pulsair Valve: Description and Operation Pulse Air Aspiration System
Fig. 10 Aspirator air valve
The valve, Fig. 10, in this system uses exhaust pressure pulsations to draw air into the exhaust
system to reduce CO and HC emissions. It draws fresh air from the ``clean'' side of the air cleaner
and past a one-way spring loaded diaphragm. The diaphragm opens to permit fresh air to mix with
the exhaust gases during negative pressure (vacuum) pulsations. When the pressure is positive,
the diaphragm closes and no gases are allowed to flow past the valve. The aspirator valve
operates most efficiently at idle and slightly past idle when the negative pulses are maximum. At
higher speeds, the aspirator valve remains closed. Vehicles equipped with V8-318 engine and
1985-87 vehicles with 4-156 engine have two aspirators.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Testing and Inspection
CONSTANT VOLTAGE REGULATOR (CVR) TYPE
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING
A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions included with the tester.
Page 3693
Fuel Gauge Sender: Testing and Inspection
A hinged float arm in the fuel tank contacts a variable resistor in the gauge sending unit. The
varying resistance in the fuel gauge circuit registers on the instrument panel gauge. Resistance in
the circuit is lowest when the fuel tank is full and float arm is raised. The resulting high current flow
causes the instrument panel gauge to indicate Full.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Disconnect electrical connector from fuel tank sending unit and attach connector to a known
good sending unit. 2. Connect a jumper wire between sending unit fuel pickup tube and a good
ground. 3. Secure sending unit float arm in the empty stop position and turn ignition On. Within two
minutes, the gauge should read Empty, plus one pointer
width or minus two pointer widths.
4. Move float arm and secure in the full stop position. Within two minutes, the gauge should read
Full, plus two pointer widths, or minus one pointer
width.
5. If fuel gauge does not operate as specified, check the following:
a. Wiring and electrical connections between sending unit and connector. b. Wiring and electrical
connections between connector and printed circuit board terminals. c. Circuit continuity between
printed circuit board terminals and gauge terminals. d. Voltage limiter performance.
6. If fuel gauge operates as specified with known good sending unit, check fuel tank and original
sending unit as follows:
a. Remove sending unit from fuel tank. b. Connect sending unit wire and jumper wire as previously
described. c. If fuel gauge now operates as specified, check sending unit for damage, obstructions
or improper installation and correct as necessary.

Symptom/Condition, Diagnosis & Parts Information
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Power Door Lock Motor: Testing and Inspection
To determine which door solenoid is defective, check for proper lock/unlock operation at each door.
If none of the solenoids operate, the problem may be due to a shorted door solenoid.
Disconnecting the defective solenoid will allow the other(s) to operate.
To test an individual door solenoid, remove the door trim panel(s) to gain access to the door
solenoid. Unplug the door solenoid connector and connect a voltmeter between the "lock" wire
(OR) and a known good ground. Move the lock knob to the lock position and check for available
voltage. Connect the voltmeter to the "unlock" (LB) wire and move the lock knob to the unlock
position again checking the available voltage. If voltage is present in both lock knob positions, the
door solenoid is defective. If voltage is not present in one position or neither positions, the relay,
door switch, or connecting wires may be defective.

Temperature Warning Lamp/Indicator: Testing and Inspection
A bimetal temperature switch, located in the cylinder head, controls the operation of a temperature
indicator light with a red lens. If the engine cooling system is not functioning properly and coolant
temperature exceeds a predetermined value, the warning light will illuminate.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the red light is not lit when the engine is being cranked, check for a burned out bulb, an open in
the light circuit, or a defective ignition switch.
If the red light is lit when the engine is running, check the wiring between light and switch for a
ground, defective temperature switch, or overheated cooling system.
As a test circuit to check whether the red bulb is functioning properly, a wire which is connected to
the ground terminal of the ignition switch is tapped into its circuit. When the ignition is in the "Start"
(engine cranking) position, the ground terminal is grounded inside the switch and the red bulb will
be lit. When the engine is started and the ignition switch is in the "On" position, the test circuit is
opened and the bulb is then controlled by the temperature switch.
Page 2763
- The measurement should be repeated at 3 or more places around the circumference of the drum
to determine if the drum is out of round. If the measurements differ by more than 0.004 inches the
drum should be resurfaced.
NOTE: A drum which is out of round will cause a pedal pulsation to be felt upon braking.
- The measurement should also be repeated at various depths of the drum to check for a bellmouth
condition. If the measurements differ by more than 0.010 inches the drum should be resurfaced.
NOTE: 1 inch = 25.4mm, so if your micrometer measures in inches and the specified thickness on
the disc is in millimeters, convert millimeters to inches by dividing the specified number of
millimeters by 25.4.
Example: Specification on disc is 17.8 mm. Dividing 17.8mm by 25.4mm/in = 17.8/25.4 = 0.70
inches.
NOTE: After a brake drum is machined, wipe the braking surface diameter with a cloth soaked in
denatured alcohol.
WARNING: If one brake drum is machined, the other should also be machined to the same
diameter to maintain equal braking forces.

Testing and Inspection
Brake Fluid Pressure Sensor/Switch: Testing and Inspection
Brake Warning Switch Testing
1. Raise the car on a hoist and open a wheel cylinder bleeder while a helper depresses the brake
pedal and observes the warning light. 2. If the light fails to light, inspect for a burned out bulb,
disconnected socket, or a broken or disconnected wire at the switch. 3. If the bulb is not burned out
and the wire continuity is uninterrupted, check the service brake warning switch operation with a
test lamp between
the switch terminal and a voltage source.
4. If light still fails to light, disconnect the brake tubes from the valve assembly and install a new
valve assembly. 5. If a new valve is installed, bleed the system.
CAUTIONS:
- Do not disassemble valve to reset the piston.
- The warning switch is not serviced separately. Do not remove the switch or attempt to repair.
NOTE: After repairing and bleeding the brake system, applying the brakes with moderate force will
hydraulically recenter the piston and automatically turn off the warning light.

Removal Notes
Brake Caliper: Fundamentals and Basics Removal Notes
When Removing the Caliper, Remember...
- Prior to removing the calipers, remove/siphon brake fluid from master-cylinder until the reservoir
is only 1/3 full.
- Brake fluid will remove paint and damage electrical connections. Use a drip pan and fender
covers to protect the vehicle's finish and electrical system.
- Always replace all brake linings on an axle. Never replace only one wheel. Unequal lining
thickness between wheels on the same axle will result in a strong steering pull when the brakes are
applied.
- Work on one side at a time. If you forget how to reassemble the parts you can always use the
other side as a model.
- When forcing the piston back into the caliper, open the bleeder valve first. Corrosion and other
deposits accumulate inside of the caliper. If the bleeder valve is not opened when the piston is
forced back into the caliper, these deposits will be forced back through the brake lines and into the
master-cylinder.
- When pushing the pistons back into the caliper with the bleeder screw open, a stream of brake
fluid will be expelled from the bleeder screw for 2-3 feet. Use a drip pan and be careful not to
"shoot" brake fluid onto the vehicle's finish. A cleaner method is to use a piece of clear plastic hose
and a glass or plastic jar to catch the expelled fluid.
- Upon removal, Do Not allow the calipers to hang by the flexible brake hoses. The brake hoses
can be damaged easily by this practice. These hoses are double walled, damage to the interior
pressure hose will not be visible.
- Do not depress the brake pedal with either caliper removed from the rotor. The caliper pistons will
be inadvertently expelled from the caliper. If this occurs rebuild or replace the caliper, do not
attempt to insert the piston back into the caliper.

Generator: Description and Operation Chrysler Alternators
The main components of the alternator are the rotor, stator, diodes, end shields and drive pulley.
Direct current is available at the output "BAT" terminal. The function of the voltage regulator is to
limit output voltage. This is accomplished by controlling the current flow in the rotor field coil, in turn
controlling the strength of the rotor magnetic field. The electronic voltage regulator is a sealed,
non-adjustable unit.

LATERAL RUNOUT
Lateral runout is the movement of the rotor from side to side as it rotates on the spindle. This could
also be referred 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 1. Tighten the wheel bearings to eliminate all freeplay. 2. Attach a dial
indicator to a solid non-rotating portion of the hub assembly or 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 and observe the dial indicator.

Symptom/Condition, Diagnosis & Parts Information
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Description and Operation
Speedometer Cable: Description and Operation
The following material covers only that service on speedometers which is feasible to perform.
Repairs on the units themselves are not included as they require special tools and extreme care
when making repairs and adjustments that only an experienced speedometer mechanic should
attempt. The speedometer has two main parts, the speedometer head and the speedometer drive
cable. When the speedometer fails to indicate speed or mileage, the cable or cable housing is
probably broken.
SPEEDOMETER CABLE
Most cables are broken due to lack of lubrication, or a sharp bend or kink in the housing. A cable
might break because of the speedometer head mechanism binds. In such cases, the speedometer
head should be repaired or replaced before a new cable or housing is installed. A "jumpy" pointer
condition, together with a scraping noise, is due, in most instances, to a dry or kinked speedometer
cable. The kinked cable rubs on the housing and winds up, slowing down the pointer. The cable
then unwinds and the pointer "jumps." To check for kinks, remove the cable, lay it on a flat surface
and twist one end with the fingers. If it turns over smoothly the cable is not kinked. But if part of the
cable flops over as it is twisted, the cable is kinked and should be replaced.
LUBRICATION The speedometer cable should be lubricated with special cable lubricant. Fill the
ferrule on the upper end of the housing with the cable lubricant. Insert the cable in the housing,
starting at the upper end. Turn the cable around carefully while feeding it into the housing. Repeat
filling the ferrule except for the last six inches of cable. Too much lubricant at this point may cause
the lubricant to work into the speedometer head.
INSTALLING CABLE During installation, if the cable sticks when inserted in the housing and will
not go through, the housing is damaged inside or kinked. Be sure to check the housing from one
end to the other. Straighten any sharp bends by relocating clamps or elbows. Replace housing if it
is badly kinked or broken. Position the cable and housing so that they lead into the head as straight
as possible. Check the new cable for kinks before installing it. Use wide, sweeping, gradual curves
where the cable comes out of the transmission and connects to the head so the cable will not be
damaged during installation. Arrange the housing so it does not lean against the engine because
heat from the engine may dry out the lubricant. If inspection indicates that the cable and housing
are in good condition, yet pointer action is erratic, check the speedometer head for possible
binding. The speedometer drive pinion should also be checked. If the pinion is dry or its teeth are
stripped, the speedometer may not register properly.

(7) With the propane bottle upright and in a safe location, open the propane main valve. Slowly
open the propane metering valve until the maximum engine rpm is reached. When too much
propane is added, engine rpm will decrease. "Fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest
engine rpm.
(8) With the propane still flowing, adjust the idle speed screw on the solenoid to obtain the correct
propane rpm. Again, "fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest engine rpm. If there has
been a change in the maximum rpm, readjust the idle speed screw to the specified propane rpm.
(9) Turn off the propane main valve and allow the engine speed to stabilize. Slowly adjust the
mixture screws by equal amounts, pausing between adjustments to allow engine speed to stabilize, to obtain the smoothest idle at the correct idle rpm. (10)
Turn on the propane main valve end "Fine tune" the metering valve to obtain the highest engine
rpm. If the maximum engine speed is more than 25
rpm different than the specified propane rpm, repeat steps (8) through (11).
(11) Turn off propane main and metering valves. Remove the propane supply hose and reinstall
the heated air sensor hose. Reinstall new concealment
plugs. Reconnect vacuum line on ESA, reconnect carburetor electrical connector. Perform the
Solenoid Idle Stop, Idle RPM, and Fast Idle Speed Adjustment Procedures.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Antilock Brake System Bleeding Procedures
Fig 2 Extending Valve Stem
NOTE: All vehicles are equipped with a pressure hold-off valve. The valve is located (in the
combination valve) on the left frame rail. The hold off valve balances front and rear braking force to
improve braking and steering control on icy surfaces. The valve shuts off the flow of brake fluid
between 3 and 135 PSI. Because the valve shuts off flow in this pressure range the valve must be
held open manually -- using tool C-4121 or equivalent -- when pressure bleeding the system.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should a rigid clamp, wedge or block be used to depress the
valve stem. This could cause an internal valve failure resulting in complete loss of front brakes.
1. Clean all dirt and foreign material from the cover of the master cylinder to prevent dirt from falling
into the master cylinder reservoir when the
cover is removed.
2. Install metering valve hands off tool, part No. C-4121 to valve stem of metering valve.
NOTE: Complete bleeding of dual master cylinder is important before performing this procedure!
3. Starting with RWAL hydraulic valve, clean all dirt from the bleeder valve. 4. Place bleeder hose
on the bleeder valve and insert the other end of the bleeder hose into a clear jar half filled with
clean brake fluid. This will
permit the observation of air bubbles as they are being expelled from the hydraulic system and also
prevent air from being drawn back into the system.
5. Continue this bleeding with:
a. The right rear wheel b. Then left rear wheel c. Next, bleed the right front and d. Finish with the
left front wheel
6. Repeat this bleeding procedure if there is any indication of air remaining in the hydraulic system:
- Spongy brake pedal
- Warning light ON
CAUTION: The pressure release valve is in its innermost position when there is no pressure
present. No attempt should be made to further depress the valve stem.
NOTE: If diagnosis determines that master cylinder alone is cause of trouble, it can be replaced
without bleeding the hydraulic system provided the replacement cylinder is completely bled before
installation. After brake tubes are connected have helper apply force to pedal while both tube nuts
are cracked to release any air and then retightened.

cracked to release any air and then retightened.
NOTE: All vehicles are equipped with a pressure hold-off valve. The valve is located (in the
combination valve) on the left frame rail. The hold off valve balances front and rear braking force to
improve braking and steering control on icy surfaces. The valve shuts off the flow of brake fluid
between 3 and 135 PSI. Because the valve shuts off flow in this pressure range the valve must be
held open manually -- using tool C-4121 or equivalent -- when pressure bleeding the system.
Gravity and pedal bleeding DO NOT require holding this valve open.

1. With brake drums removed, inspect the wheel cylinder boots for evidence of a brake fluid leak. 2.
Block brake pedal in stroke position. 3. Visually check the boots for cuts, tears, or heat cracks.
- If any of these conditions exist, the wheel cylinders should be completely cleaned, inspected and
new parts installed.
NOTE: A slight amount of fluid on the boot may not be a leak, but may be preservative fluid used at
assembly.

4. Rotate the bezel on the dial indicator such that "0" is at the low deflection point. 5. Again rotate
the rotor at least one complete turn and observe the needle deflection. Total needle deflection will
equal lateral runout. 6. Readjust the wheel bearings.
MINIMUM THICKNESS
The thickness of a rotor is important for two reasons: 1. Rotors which are too thin are not able to
properly absorb and release heat during heavy braking. This results in reduced braking capacity
and
brake fade.
2. Rotors worn below minimum thickness in combination with worn pads/linings can result in the
caliper piston extending too far becoming
cocked or jammed.
Rotor thickness should be measured at the thinnest point on the rotor. Any rotor which is worn
below its minimum thickness should be replaced.
For accurate measurements, it is best to remove the caliper to allow for complete access to the
inboard side of the rotor. For more information on how to use a disc brake micrometer see
Fundamentals and Basics. See: Fundamentals and Basics
PARALLELISM
Parallelism is the measurement of the thickness of the rotor at 12 or more points around the
circumference of the rotor. All measurements must be made at the same distance in from the edge
of the rotor.

This bulletin supersedes Technical Service Bulletin #18-19-85 which should be removed from your
files. The model application has been expanded to include 1981 and 1982 model years.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Oil Pressure Gauge: Description and Operation
CONSTANT VOLTAGE REGULATOR (CVR) TYPE
This oil pressure indicating system incorporates an instrument voltage regulator, electrical oil
pressure gauge and a sending unit which are connected in series. The sending unit consists of a
diaphragm, contact and a variable resistor. As oil pressure increases or decreases, the diaphragm
actuated the contact on the variable resistor, in turn controlling current flow to the gauge. When oil
pressure is low, the resistance of the variable resistor is high, restricting current flow to the gauge,
in turn indicating low oil pressure. As oil pressure increases, the resistance of the variable resistor
is lowered, permitting an increased current flow to the gauge, resulting in an increased gauge
reading.
TROUBLESHOOTING
A special tester is required to diagnose this type gauge. Follow instructions included with the tester.

SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Customer concern for a "snap" or "clunk" after medium-heavy brake application to a stop is
completed or when accelerating from a stop. The noise may also be heard at the 1-2 upshift.
DIAGNOSIS
Description of Condition
Drive line "snap" is a single snap or clunk noise sometimes heard when braking to a forward stop
or accelerating from a stop. It is ordinarily heard just as a stop is completed, when the vehicle
transitions from the nose-down braking attitude to the level-stationary attitude. It may also be heard
just as motion begins on acceleration or at the 1-2 upshift.
Forward direction braking causes the rear axle pinion nose to pitch downward from brake torque
reaction. The vehicle also assumes an overall nose-down attitude. The combination of these
motions results in maximum rearward excursion of the prop shaft slip yoke in the transmission
extension. At the end of the stopping maneuver, the slip yoke would ordinarily slide smoothly back
into the extension. The characteristic "snap" occurs when the slip yoke momentarily binds in the
rearward position, then abruptly "snaps" forward to the neutral position. PARTS REQUIRED
Vehicles equipped with A904/999 transmission:
1 - Yoke (nickel plated) PN 4137452
Vehicles equipped with A727 transmission:
1 - Yoke (nickel plated) PN 4137456
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1. Raise vehicle.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit, which is an oil pressure switch.
The oil pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is
turned on, the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed
contacts in the pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses
the diaphragm, opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If it does not light,
disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or cylinder block. Then if
the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the bulb.
If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the engine
unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight and
properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground).
If the warning light remains lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before
proceeding further to determine the cause for a low pressure indication.
The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the engine is idling, even though the oil
pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when the engine speed is increased.

Calipers which are not rebuilt or replaced have a higher probability of sticking or leaking.
- Check to ensure the bleeder screw is not frozen prior to reinstalling caliper. Freeing a stuck
bleeder screw is much easier with the caliper removed from the vehicle.

Volt Meter Gauge: Testing and Inspection
The voltmeter is a gauge which measures the electrical flow from the battery to indicate whether
the battery output is within tolerances. The voltmeter reading can range from 13.5-14.0 volts under
normal operating conditions. If an undercharge or overcharge condition is indicated for an extended
period, the battery and charging system should be checked.
TROUBLESHOOTING To check voltmeter, turn key and headlights on with engine off. Pointer
should move to 12.5 volts. If no needle movement is observed, check connections from battery to
circuit breaker. If connections are tight and meter shows no movement, check wire continuity. If
wire continuity is satisfactory, the meter is inoperative and must be replaced.

Test Results
1. If a higher than specified voltage drop is indicated, clean and tighten all connectors in charging
circuit. A voltage drop test may be performed at each connector to locate point of excessive
resistance.
2. If charging circuit resistance test was satisfactory, disconnect battery ground cable, then the
ammeter, voltmeter and carbon pile.
3. Remove jumper wire.
4. Connect battery ground cable, then the hose between SMEC and air cleaner.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Pressure Bleeding (Preferred Procedure)
Fig 2 Extending Valve Stem
NOTE: All vehicles are equipped with a pressure hold-off valve. The valve is located (in the
combination valve) on the left frame rail. The hold off valve balances front and rear braking force to
improve braking and steering control on icy surfaces. The valve shuts off the flow of brake fluid
between 3 and 135 PSI. Because the valve shuts off flow in this pressure range the valve must be
held open manually -- using tool C-4121 or equivalent -- when pressure bleeding the system.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should a rigid clamp, wedge or block be used to depress the
valve stem. This could cause an internal valve failure resulting in complete loss of front brakes.
1. Clean all dirt and foreign material from the cover of the master cylinder to prevent dirt from falling
into the master cylinder reservoir when the
cover is removed.
2. Install metering valve hands off tool, part No. C-4121 to valve stem of metering valve.
NOTE: Complete bleeding of dual master cylinder is important before performing this procedure!
3. Starting with RWAL hydraulic valve, clean all dirt from the bleeder valve. 4. Place bleeder hose
on the bleeder valve and insert the other end of the bleeder hose into a clear jar half filled with
clean brake fluid. This will
permit the observation of air bubbles as they are being expelled from the hydraulic system and also
prevent air from being drawn back into the system.
4. Continue this bleeding with:
a. The left rear wheel. b. Next, bleed the right front. c. Finish with the left front wheel.
6. Repeat this bleeding procedure if there is any indication of air remaining in the hydraulic system:
- Spongy brake pedal
- Warning light ON
CAUTION: The pressure release valve is in its innermost position when there is no pressure
present. No attempt should be made to further depress the valve stem.
NOTE: If diagnosis determines that master cylinder alone is cause of trouble, it can be replaced
without bleeding the hydraulic system provided the replacement cylinder is completely bled before
installation. After brake tubes are connected have helper apply force to pedal while both tube nuts
are cracked to release any air and then retightened.

Brake Master Cylinder: Fundamentals and Basics Bench Bleeding Notes
BENCH BLEEDING
Why
A master-cylinder will develop little or no pressure if air is trapped in cylinder bore. Normal brake
bleeding will not remove air trapped within the master-cylinder.

Clamp the master-cylinder securely in a vice. It is usually best to clamp the side of the vice onto the
flat surface that is used to secure the master-cylinder to the brake booster.
There are two basic methods for bleeding master-cylinder, one utilizes stroking the master-cylinder
to expel air from the cylinder bore while the other utilizes a large syringe to backflush fluid from the
outlet ports to the reservoir.
Stroking Fill the master-cylinder with clean brake fluid.
- The brake line fittings on the master-cylinder should be capped or plugged.
NOTE: Special "bench bleeding" plastic fittings are available which allow for recirculating the brake
fluid back into the reservoir.
- Using a dull object, slowly stroke the master-cylinder piston, air and brake fluid will be expelled
from the brake line fittings. Prior to releasing the piston plug or cap the outlet ports.
- Repeat this procedure 8-10 times or until no air is emitted from the outlet ports.
- When finished, cap the outlet ports and install the master-cylinder.
Syringe Fill the syringe (one especially designed for brake bleeding) with clean brake fluid.
- Insert the end of the syringe into one of the outlet ports on the master-cylinder.
- Slowly compress the syringe and back flush the brake fluid through the master-cylinder.
- A combination of air and brake fluid will be emitted from the inlet port in the fluid reservoir.
- Repeat this procedure until only brake fluid is emitted into the reservoir.
- Cap the outlet ports and install the master-cylinder.

Oil Pressure Warning Lamp/Indicator: Description and Operation
Many trucks utilize a warning light on the instrument panel in place of the conventional dash
indicating gauge to warn the driver when the oil pressure is dangerously low. The warning light is
wired in series with the ignition switch and the engine unit, which is an oil pressure switch.
The oil pressure switch contains a diaphragm and a set of contacts. When the ignition switch is
turned on, the warning light circuit is energized and the circuit is completed through the closed
contacts in the pressure switch. When the engine is started, build-up of oil pressure compresses
the diaphragm, opening the contacts, thereby breaking the circuit and putting out the light.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The oil pressure warning light should go on when the ignition is turned on. If it does not light,
disconnect the wire from the engine unit and ground the wire to the frame or cylinder block. Then if
the warning light still does not go on with the ignition switch on, replace the bulb.
If the warning light goes on when the wire is grounded to the frame or cylinder block, the engine
unit should be checked for being loose or poorly grounded. If the unit is found to be tight and
properly grounded, it should be removed and a new one installed. (The presence of sealing
compound on the threads of the engine unit will cause a poor ground).
If the warning light remains lit when it normally should be out, replace the engine unit before
proceeding further to determine the cause for a low pressure indication.
The warning light will sometimes light up or flicker when the engine is idling, even though the oil
pressure is adequate. However, the light should go out when the engine speed is increased.

Open Circuit Voltage Test & Possible Causes of Battery Failure Information
Open Circuit Voltage Test
If the battery fails the load test, check the state of charge. The open circuit or no-load voltage test is
a good measure of the state of charge after the battery has stabilized from the load test. Be sure to
let the battery recover from the load test for at least two minutes before checking the no-load
voltage to estimate the percent of charge.
BATTERY PERCENT OF CHARGE CHART
Open Circuit Voltage Percent of Charge
11.7 or less 0
12.0 25
12.2 50
12.4 75
12.6 or more 100
Because the voltage changes in the open circuit voltage test are small, most battery testers use
special voltmeters with expanded scales to show the percent of charge. If the percent of charge is
75% or more, the battery is considered to be at a nominal state of charge. If the battery failed the
load test and is at 75% state of charge or more, it should be replaced. On the other hand, if the
battery is under 75%, it should be charged and load tested again.
If the battery fails the load test a second time, the battery should be replaced.
POSSIBLE CAUSES OF BATTERY FAILURES IN VEHICLE
Battery failures are often NOT the fault of the battery, but caused by existing conditions in the
vehicle. Some of the most common are:
1. Corroded Battery Posts or Connectors - When charging or replacing a battery, the posts and
cables should ALWAYS be thoroughly cleaned. The film of corrosion that accumulates on these
connections can cause a poor connection even when the cables are tight. It is also important to
check the cables themselves. Corrosion can "WICK" down into the cable beneath the insulation
and cause excessive amounts of resistance in the cable.
2. Electrical Leakage or "Key Off" Loads - Vehicles normally have a "Key Off" load or drain due to
the requirement of the electronics and computers in the vehicle. A "Key Off" drain of 15 to 25
milliamps is entirely normal, and poses no short-term problems for the battery.
There are, however, a number of electrical components in the vehicle that can draw in excess of 50
milliamps and cause a discharged battery. To check for this condition, turn off all accessories in the
car and close all doors, trunk, and turn off all lights. If there is an underhood lamp, remove the bulb.
Now you can check for a battery draw by either one of the following methods:
a. Remove the POSITIVE battery cable, and connect an ohmmeter between the DISCONNECTED
battery cable and the vehicle's chassis or engine block. An ohmmeter reading of 100 ohms or less
is an indication of a draw that is 0.1 amp or more. This would be excessive and would require
correction.
b. Remove the NEGATIVE battery cable, and connect an ammeter with a 0 TO 10 AMP SCALE
between the cable and the NEGATIVE post of the battery. Observe the reading on the ammeter
VERY CLOSELY.
If the ammeter indicates a current draw, WAIT 2 MINUTES and again check the meter. Due to
such items as illuminated entry systems and ignition key illumination TIMERS, you may have a
false indication of current draw until they time out. After 2 minutes the ammeter should show 0
current draw. If it does NOT show 0, there is an excessive draw condition that must be corrected
PRIOR to continuing the test. If the ammeter DOES return to ZERO, remove the large scale meter
and install an ammeter that will read below ONE ampere. A reading of 0.1 amp or more would
indicate an excessive draw condition that must be located and corrected.
Further Points to Consider
Proper operation of the charging system should be confirmed. The drive belts must be properly
tightened, wiring connectors properly attached, the voltage regulator functioning properly, correct
alternator output, and no electrical loads left on inadvertently.

NUMBER: 23-014-06
GROUP: Body
DATE: March 8, 2006
SUBJECT: Windshield Wiper Blade/Element Maintenance
MODELS: All
All All Chrysler Group Vehicles
DISCUSSION:
Windshield wiper blades/elements are frequently replaced unnecessarily. Because of the
environmental conditions vehicles can be operated in, a film can build up on both the windshield
and the windshield wiper elements that will cause poor cleaning/streaking of the windshield, and in
some instances, a chattering condition as the wipers blades travel across the windshield.
Replacement of the wiper blades/elements is normally NOT required to correct streaking issues. A
simple NORMAL MAINTENANCE cleaning of the wiper blades/elements and windshield is all that
is required.
If the wipe pattern appears to be streaky or if there is chatter and no damage to the wiper
blades/elements is obvious, the following steps should be performed:
1. Use a soft cloth or sponge & squeegee and MOPAR Windshield Washer Solvent (p/n
04318067AB, 16 Oz. bottle or p/n 04318068AB, 32 Oz. bottle), MOPAR Glass Cleaner (p/n
04897623AB, 16 Oz. bottle) or a solution of 50/50 alcohol and water, to wash the windshield.
2. Raise the wiper blades off the glass and clean the wiper blade elements (rubber insert) with
MOPAR Windshield Washer Solvent or a solution of 50/50 alcohol and water and a soft cloth,
paper towel or sponge.
3. Return the wiper blades to their normal operating position and function the washer system. If the
wiper blades/elements are not streaking the windshield or chattering, replacing the blade
assembly(ies) is not necessary. If the wipe pattern is still objectionable, repeat step 2 several times.
If the wipe pattern is still objectionable, replace the wiper blades/elements.

About Brake System Bleeding
Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair About Brake System Bleeding
WHEN BLEEDING BRAKES REMEMBER...
- Brake fluid will remove paint and damage electrical connections. Use a drip pan and fender
covers to protect the vehicle's finish and electrical system.
- Always flush and bleed the brake hydraulic sys. when servicing the brakes, because:
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, after 3-4 years of service the water content of the brake
fluid may be as high as 6-7%. This significantly reduces the boiling point of the brake fluid which
may result in a soft pedal or brake failure during prolonged or severe braking. Corrosion deposits
and other contaminants gradually build up inside of the brake hydraulic sys. Check the bottom of
the master-cylinder reservoir for a build up of fine black silt. If any is present the brake fluid should
be flushed.
- Never reuse brake fluid that has been drained from the brake system.
DOT 3,4 or DOT 5
As a general rule DOT 5 brake fluid should not be used in vehicles recommending DOT 3 or 4 type
fluid.
DOT 5 brake fluid is silicone based. DOT 3 (standard) and DOT 4 (heavy-duty) are glycol-based.
DOT 5 can be distinguished from conventional brake fluids by its purple color (which comes from a
dye).
DOT 5 silicone brake fluid won't mix with glycol-based brake fluid (creating concern over sludging if
all old fluid isn't removed when a system is refilled with silicone).
Silicone does not absorb moisture. DOT 5 brake fluid does not become contaminated with moisture
over time as conventional DOT 3 and 4 brake fluids do. Silicone is also chemically inert, nontoxic
and won't damage paint like conventional brake fluid. It also has a higher boiling point.
Because of this, it is often marketed as a premium "lifetime" brake fluid. It is often used to preserve
brake systems in antique vehicles and those that sit for long periods of time between use.
Silicone also has slightly different physical properties and compressibility, making it unsuitable for
ABS systems calibrated to work with DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid.

files. The model application has been expanded to include 1981 and 1982 model years.
SYMPTOM/CONDITION
Engine performance is gradually reduced in high ambient temperature or high altitude driving due
to a drop in fuel pressure, which starves engine for fuel (goes lean). Engine may not start until fuel
system components cool off.
DIAGNOSIS
The following are characteristics of vapor lock and should be observed on a fully warmed up
engine. (Vapor lock does not affect cold engine driveability.)
^ Occurs after hot soak, prolonged idle, or highway speeds at any throttle opening.
^ Sag due to lean mixture.
^ No black smoke at tailpipe.
^ Fuel pressure drops to 0.
^ Carburetor air horn dry.
^ No accelerator pump discharge.
^ May not start until engine cools.
^ Engine may not sustain heavy loads.

Brake Bleeding: Service and Repair Pressure Bleeding (Preferred Procedure)
Fig 2 Extending Valve Stem
NOTE: All vehicles are equipped with a pressure hold-off valve. The valve is located (in the
combination valve) on the left frame rail. The hold off valve balances front and rear braking force to
improve braking and steering control on icy surfaces. The valve shuts off the flow of brake fluid
between 3 and 135 PSI. Because the valve shuts off flow in this pressure range the valve must be
held open manually -- using tool C-4121 or equivalent -- when pressure bleeding the system.
CAUTION: Under no circumstances should a rigid clamp, wedge or block be used to depress the
valve stem. This could cause an internal valve failure resulting in complete loss of front brakes.
1. Clean all dirt and foreign material from the cover of the master cylinder to prevent dirt from falling
into the master cylinder reservoir when the
cover is removed.
2. Install metering valve hands off tool, part No. C-4121 to valve stem of metering valve.
NOTE: Complete bleeding of dual master cylinder is important before performing this procedure!
3. Starting with RWAL hydraulic valve, clean all dirt from the bleeder valve. 4. Place bleeder hose
on the bleeder valve and insert the other end of the bleeder hose into a clear jar half filled with
clean brake fluid. This will
permit the observation of air bubbles as they are being expelled from the hydraulic system and also
prevent air from being drawn back into the system.
4. Continue this bleeding with:
a. The left rear wheel. b. Next, bleed the right front. c. Finish with the left front wheel.
6. Repeat this bleeding procedure if there is any indication of air remaining in the hydraulic system:
- Spongy brake pedal
- Warning light ON
CAUTION: The pressure release valve is in its innermost position when there is no pressure
present. No attempt should be made to further depress the valve stem.
NOTE: If diagnosis determines that master cylinder alone is cause of trouble, it can be replaced
without bleeding the hydraulic system provided the replacement cylinder is completely bled before
installation. After brake tubes are connected have helper apply force to pedal while both tube nuts
are cracked to release any air and then retightened.

Speedometer Head: Testing and Inspection
The following material covers only that service on speedometers which is feasible to perform.
Repairs on the units themselves are not included as they require special tools and extreme care
when making repairs and adjustments that only an experienced speedometer mechanic should
attempt. The speedometer has two main parts, the speedometer head and the speedometer drive
cable. When the speedometer fails to indicate speed or mileage, the cable or cable housing is
probably broken.
SPEEDOMETER CABLE
Most cables are broken due to lack of lubrication, or a sharp bend or kink in the housing. A cable
might break because of the speedometer head mechanism binds. In such cases, the speedometer
head should be repaired or replaced before a new cable or housing is installed. A "jumpy" pointer
condition, together with a scraping noise, is due, in most instances, to a dry or kinked speedometer
cable. The kinked cable rubs on the housing and winds up, slowing down the pointer. The cable
then unwinds and the pointer "jumps." To check for kinks, remove the cable, lay it on a flat surface
and twist one end with the fingers. If it turns over smoothly the cable is not kinked. But if part of the
cable flops over as it is twisted, the cable is kinked and should be replaced.
LUBRICATION The speedometer cable should be lubricated with special cable lubricant. Fill the
ferrule on the upper end of the housing with the cable lubricant. Insert the cable in the housing,
starting at the upper end. Turn the cable around carefully while feeding it into the housing. Repeat
filling the ferrule except for the last six inches of cable. Too much lubricant at this point may cause
the lubricant to work into the speedometer head.
INSTALLING CABLE During installation, if the cable sticks when inserted in the housing and will
not go through, the housing is damaged inside or kinked. Be sure to check the housing from one
end to the other. Straighten any sharp bends by relocating clamps or elbows. Replace housing if it
is badly kinked or broken. Position the cable and housing so that they lead into the head as straight
as possible. Check the new cable for kinks before installing it. Use wide, sweeping, gradual curves
where the cable comes out of the transmission and connects to the head so the cable will not be
damaged during installation. Arrange the housing so it does not lean against the engine because
heat from the engine may dry out the lubricant. If inspection indicates that the cable and housing
are in good condition, yet pointer action is erratic, check the speedometer head for possible
binding. The speedometer drive pinion should also be checked. If the pinion is dry or its teeth are
stripped, the speedometer may not register properly.
