Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Cummins Maintenance Items???

[Israelson]

I'm a new cummins owner... just purchased a shop manual... every 10,000 miles or so ir says "Inspect fab hub', "inspect damper", "Inspect water pump weep hole for blockage"... I can't find any instructions in the book as to what exactly I'm supposed to be checking and where these things are located? Can anybogy help a newbee. Thanks.

Check this out on the weep hole http://dodgeram.org/tech/dsl/cooling-sys/weep_hole.htm



Here's one with a pencil stuck in it to keep it from leaking

Inspecting the fan hub involves checking for loose blades and cracks. Rotate the fan, it shouldn't freewheel nor be locked up.



The damper is the lowest pulley on your engine, check that the rubber isn't falling apart or squeezing out.
