Rear Wheel Drive Light Duty Trucks
REAR WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS
Important:
- Dust or dirt can enter the back of the transmission through the opening created by the removal of the slip yoke from the transmission if proper
protection is not provided.
- Verify that the transmission fluid is at the proper level before driving the truck.
Rear wheel drive vehicles, equipped with Automatic Transmission or Manual Transmission, should NOT be dinghy towed. These transmissions have no provisions for internal lubrication
while being towed. In order to properly tow these vehicles, place the vehicle on a platform trailer with all four tires off the ground. Avoid towing the
vehicle with all four tires on the ground. In rare instances when it is unavoidable that a rear wheel drive vehicle be dinghy towed, the propeller shaft
to axle yoke orientation should be marked and the propeller shaft removed. Refer to the applicable Service Manual for procedures on propeller shaft removal/installation.
TOWING PROCEDURE
In order to properly dinghy tow the vehicle, use the following procedure:
1. Firmly set the parking brake.
2. Place the AT in Park (P) or the MT in the lowest gear (1st).
3. Securely attach the vehicle being towed to the tow vehicle.
Caution: Shifting the transfer case to Neutral can cause the vehicle to roll, even if the transmission is in park (automatic) or 1st gear (manual), and
may cause personal injury.
4. If equipped, place the transfer case shift lever in Neutral (N).
Notice: Use extra care whenever towing another vehicle. Do not exceed the towing vehicle's gross combination weight (GCW) by adding the weight
of the dinghy towed vehicle or vehicle damage may result.
5. When the vehicle being towed is firmly attached to the tow vehicle, release the parking brake.
6. Insert the ignition key and turn the key to the OFF position, which is one position forward of LOCK. Unlocking the steering column allows for proper movement of the front wheels and tires during towing.
