Have your mechanic use some black
CARC paint to stencil NO STEP on
the area in front of the valve. The sten-
cils are in the Common shop sets.
Grease Fitting Lowdown
A grease fitting that’s often over-
looked is the one that lubes the U-
joints for the steering shaft spline.
Watch Your Step
Watch your feet around the air infla-
tion extension valves on the rear
wheels.
Step on one while climbing onto the
truck, and you can break the valve.
End result—flat tire.

Lube u-joint here
The fitting is “in the dark” because
it’s inside the cab. It’s also hard to find
on the vehicle’s lube plate.
Forget it, though, and steering just
gets harder.
It’s not a step!
