NOTICE
Failure to remove the driveline(s) or the drive
axle shafts when towing the vehicle with the rear
wheels on the ground could result in damage to
the transmission and other parts.
12.
Use a paint pen to mark the drivelines in as built
condition, and then remove the driveline, the
interaxle driveline (if equipped), for each axle
that may touch the ground during the towing
process. Store the drivelines and U-joints in a
secure location so they will not come off during
transport.
13.
Remove the tow cables from the tow hooks and
retract the recovery boom. See Fig. 23.15.
14.
Remove the tow hooks from the bumper.
IMPORTANT: On trucks equipped with a front
air suspension, either air pressure must be
supplied to the secondary air system or the front
suspension must be blocked to operating height
with wooden spacers and the axle chained to
the frame to prevent damage to the truck.
