Hub Caps/Wheel Covers — If Equipped
The hub caps must be removed before
raising the vehicle off the ground.
For 2500/3500 single rear wheel (SRW)
models, use the flat end of the lug wrench to
hook and pull off the hub cap. Find the opening
in the hub cap, insert the lug wrench, and pull
off the cap. If you need to pry against the
wheel, protect the wheel surface.
Lug Wrench Insertion Location — Hub Cap
On 3500 models with dual rear wheels
(DRW), you must first remove the hub
caps—use the procedure noted for the single
rear wheel. For the wheel covers (wheel
skins), insert the flat end of the lug wrench
between the outer edge of the wheel cover
and the wheel. Pry against the wheel to
remove the wheel cover. Repeat this proce

off.
Lug Wrench Insertion Location — Wheel Cover
Replace the wheel covers using a rubber
mallet to ease the installation. Align the
wheel cover vent holes to the wheel vent
holes. Tap on the wheel cover as needed to
firmly seat it evenly around the wheel.
JUMP STARTING
If your vehicle has a discharged battery, it
can be jump started using a set of jumper
cables and a battery in another vehicle, or by
using a portable battery booster pack. Jump
starting can be dangerous if done improp

section carefully.
CAUTION!
Use extreme caution when removing the
front and rear wheel covers. Damage can
occur to the center cap and/or the wheel if
screwdriver type tools are used. A pulling
motion, not a pry off motion, is
recommended to remove the caps.
CAUTION!
Use a pulling motion to remove the hub
cap. Do not use a twisting motion when
removing the hub cap, damage to the
hub cap; finish may occur.
The rear hub caps on the dual rear wheel
has two pull off notches. Make sure that
the hook of the jack handle driver is
located squarely in the cap notch before
attempting to pull off.
WARNING!
Do not attempt jump starting if the battery
is frozen. It could rupture or explode and
cause personal injury.
