To Stow The Flat Or Spare — If Equipped
Refer to Upfitters Body Builders Guide for information

on stowing your spare tire (if equipped).

HOISTING

A conventional floor jack may be used at the jacking

locations. Refer to the graphics that show jacking loca-

tions. However, a floor jack or frame hoist must never be

used on any other parts of the underbody.

CAUTION!

Never use a floor jack directly under the differential
housing of a loaded truck or damage to your vehicle
may result.

JUMP-STARTING PROCEDURES

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 improperly

so please follow the procedures in this section carefully.
NOTE:

When using a portable battery booster pack

follow the manufacturer’s operating instructions and

precautions.

CAUTION!

Do not use a portable battery booster pack or any
other booster source with a system voltage greater
than 12 Volts or damage to the battery, starter motor,
alternator or electrical system may occur.
