Engine Cooling System Inspection
Inspect the hoses and have them replaced
if
they
are cracked, swollen or deteriorated. Inspect all pipes,
fittings and clamps; replace as needed. Clean the
outside of the radiator and air conditioning condenser.
To
help ensure proper operation, a pressure test of
the cooling system and pressure cap is recommended
at least once a year.
Transfer
Case
and Front
Axle
(All-Wheel Drive) Inspection
Every
12
months, or
at
engine oil change intervals,
check front axle and transfer case and add lubricant
when necessary.
A
fluid
loss
could indicate
a
problem.
Check and have it repaired,
if
needed. Check vent
hose at transfer case for kinks and proper installation.
Brake System Inspection
Inspect the complete system. Inspect brake lines and
hoses for proper hook-up, binding, leaks, cracks,
chafing, etc. Inspect disc brake pads for wear and rotors
for surface condition. Inspect other brake parts,
including calipers, parking brake, etc. You may need
to
have your brakes inspected more often
if
your driving
habits or conditions result in frequent braking.
