High Frequency Vibration: Vibration may indicate turbo
rotor imbalance. Have your Peterbilt Dealer or Authorized
Service Center investigate this immediately. If you detect any
deficiencies, take the vehicle to an Authorized Service Center
for servicing. Delay could lead to severe and expensive
damage to your vehicle.
Preventive Maintenance
Service the air cleaner periodically. If the vehicle operates in
areas with heavy dust, maintenance should be more frequent.
Follow the instructions below to remove the air filter.

Air Filter Replacement
