Fouled spark plug is indicated by a wet, black appearance. This could be
caused by a dirty air filter element or other restrictions in the air intake sys-
tem. Incorrectly adjusted valves, spark plug wire which are in poor condi-
tion or poor quality fuel could also contribute to the problem.
REAR AXLE
The rear axle is provided with a lubricant level check plug located on the driver side at the rear of the housing.
Unless leakage of rear axle lubricant is evident, an annual lubricant check is sufficient.

Clean the area around the check and fill plugs. Remove
the check plug. The correct lubricant level is just below the
bottom of the threaded hole. If lubricant is to be added,
remove the fill plug and add lubricant using a funnel. Add
lubricant slowly until lubricant starts to seep from the check
plug hole. Install the check plug and the fill plug. In the
event that the lubricant is to be replaced, a drain plug is
provided at the bottom of the differential housing.
