NOTE
Lubrication of universal and slip joints will be
accomplished while performing other inspec-
tion tasks in that same area. Tighten, repair,
and/or replace components of universal, slip
joints, and propeller shafts when found to be
damaged or worn, as required. If mainte-
nance is required at a higher level, records
should reflect closest point of reference to
ensure proper identification of components
requiring service.
d.
Lubricate universal and slip joints on transfer
case-to-front axle propeller shaft adapter every 3,000 mi
(4,800 km) or 3 months, whichever occurs first (Volume
5, WP
0820).
e.
Inspect universal and slip joints on transfer case-
to-front axle propeller shaft for damage or worn
components. Replace worn components (Volume 3,
WP
0402).
CAUTION
Breather and axle around breather must be
wiped clean before servicing to prevent dam-
age to axle from contamination.
f.
Remove, clean, and lubricate axle breathers
every 1,000 mi (1,600 km) or monthly, whichever occurs
first (Volume 3, WP
0405).

Remove differential fill plug (Figure 8, Item 1)
and check oil level in differential (Figure 8, Item 4) every
3,000 mi (4,800 km) or 3 months, whichever occurs
first (Volume 5, WP
0820). Fill if necessary. Level should
be within 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) from hole of plug (Figure 8,
Item 1) when oil is cold, and to the hole of fill plug when
hot.
h.
Inspect differential drain plug (Figure 8, Item 3)
and fill plug (Figure 8, Item 1) for tightness and signs of
leakage. Tighten drain plug (Figure 8, Item 3)
