• Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE)

• American Petroleum Institute (API)

• National Lubricating Grease Institute (NLGI)

• Association des Constructeurs Européens d’ Automobiles (European Automobile Manufacturers Association)

(ACEA)

API SERVICE GRADE CERTIFIED

Use an engine oil that is API Certified. MOPART provides engine oils, that meet or exceed this requirement.

SAE VISCOSITY

An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the viscosity
of engine oil. Use only engine oils with multiple viscos­ities such as 5W-30 or 10W-30. These are specified
with a dual SAE viscosity grade which indicates the
cold-to-hot temperature viscosity range. Select an
engine oil that is best suited to your particular temper­ature range and variation. For 3.7L/4.7L engines SAE

5W-30 engine oil is recommended for all operating
temperatures. For 5.7L engines SAE 5W-20 engine
oil is recommended for all operating temperatures­.These engine oils improve low temperature start­ing and vehicle fuel economy. Refer to your engine
oil filler cap for the recommended engine oil vis­cosity for your vehicle.

ACEA Categories

For countries that use the ACEA European Oil Categories for Service Fill Oils, use engine oils that meet the require­ments of ACEA A1/B1, A2/B2, or A3/B3.

ENERGY CONSERVING OIL

An Energy Conserving type oil is recommended for gasoline engines. The designation of ENERGY CONSERVING
is located on the label of an engine oil container.

0 - 4 LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE DR/DH

CONTAINER IDENTIFICATION

Standard engine oil identification notations have been
adopted to aid in the proper selection of engine oil.
The identifying notations are located on the front label
of engine oil plastic bottles and the top of engine oil
cans.

This symbol means that the oil has been certified by
the American Petroleum Institute (API). Diamler­Chrysler only recommend API Certified engine oils.
Use MoparT engine oil or equivalent.

FUEL REQUIREMENTS - DIESEL ENGINE

WARNING: Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending agent. They can be unstable under certain
conditions and hazardous or explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.

Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable supplier in your Dodge truck. For most year-round service, number 2
diesel fuel meeting ASTM specification D-975 will provide good performance. If the vehicle is exposed to extreme
cold (below 0°F/-18°C), or is required to operate at colder-than-normal conditions for prolonged periods, use clima­tized No. 2 diesel fuel or dilute the No. 2 diesel fuel with 50% No. 1 diesel fuel. This will provide better protection
from fuel gelling or wax-plugging of the fuel filters.

Diesel fuel is seldom completely free of water. To prevent fuel system trouble, including fuel line freezing in winter,
drain the accumulated water from the fuel/water separator using the fuel/water separator drain provided. If you buy
good-quality fuel and follow the cold-weather advice above, fuel conditioners should not be required in your vehicle.
If available in your area, a high cetane “premium” diesel fuel may offer improved cold starting and warm-up perfor­mance.

ENGINE OIL - DIESEL ENGINES

Use only Diesel Engine Oil meeting standard MIL-2104C or API Classification CD or higher or CCML D4, D5.

SAE VISCOSITY GRADE

CAUTION: Low viscosity oils must have the proper API quality or the CCMC G5 designation.

To assure of properly formulated engine oils, it is rec­ommended that SAE Grade 10W-40 engine oils that
meet Chrysler material standard MS-6395, be used in
accordance to ACEA B3, B4 specification. European
Grade 10W-40 oils that meet Association des Con­structeurs Européens d’ Automobiles (European Auto­mobile Manufacturers Association) (ACEA)
specifications, are also acceptable.

Oils of the SAE 5W-40 grade number are preferred
when minimum temperatures consistently fall below -15°C.

DR/DH LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE 0 - 5

ACEA Categories

For countries that use the ACEA European Oil Cate­gories for Service Fill Oils, use engine oils that meet
the requirements of ACEA A1/B1, A2/B2, or A3/B3.

POWER STEERING FLUID

MoparT ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid is
required in the power steering system. Substitute flu­ids can induce power steering system failure.

MoparT ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid when
new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red so it can be
identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such as
engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is not permanent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is
driven, the ATF will begin to look darker in color and may eventually become brown. This is normal. ATF+4 also
has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and color cannot be used to indicate the fluid
condition or the need for a fluid change.

ENGINE COOLANT

WARNING: ANTIFREEZE IS AN ETHYLENE GLYCOL BASE COOLANT AND IS HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED OR
INHALED. IF SWALLOWED, DRINK TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND INDUCE VOMITING. IF INHALED, MOVE
TO FRESH AIR AREA. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT STORE IN OPEN OR UNMARKED
CONTAINERS. WASH SKIN AND CLOTHING THOROUGHLY AFTER COMING IN CONTACT WITH ETHYLENE
GLYCOL. KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DISPOSE OF GLYCOL BASE COOLANT PROPERLY, CON­TACT YOUR DEALER OR GOVERNMENT AGENCY FOR LOCATION OF COLLECTION CENTER IN YOUR
AREA.

WARNING: DO NOT OPEN A COOLING SYSTEM WHEN THE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE OR
HOT UNDER PRESSURE, PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT. AVOID RADIATOR COOLING FAN WHEN
ENGINE COMPARTMENT RELATED SERVICE IS PERFORMED, PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.

CAUTION: Use of Propylene Glycol based coolants is not recommended, as they provide less freeze pro­tection and less corrosion protection.

The cooling system is designed around the coolant. The coolant must accept heat from engine metal, in the cylinder
head area near the exhaust valves and engine block. Then coolant carries the heat to the radiator where the tube/
fin radiator can transfer the heat to the air.

The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion protection.
MoparT Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769), or the equivalent ethylene glycol base coolant
with organic corrosion inhibitors (called HOAT, for Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) is recommended. This cool­ant offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when mixed with 50% Ethylene Glycol and 50% distilled water
to obtain a freeze point of -37°C (-35°F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with
fresh properly mixed coolant solution.

CAUTION: Do not use coolant additives that are claimed to improve engine cooling.

CAUTION: MoparT Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be mixed with any
other type of antifreeze. Mixing of coolants other than specified non-HOAT or other HOAT coolant, may
result in engine damage that may not be covered under the new vehicle warranty, and decreased corrosion
protection.

COOLANT PERFORMANCE

The required ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) and distilled water mixture depends upon climate and vehicle operating
conditions. The coolant performance of various mixtures follows:

0 - 6 LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE DR/DH

Pure Distilled Water - Distilled water can absorb more heat than a mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for
purpose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a higher temperature and allows corrosion.

100 percent Ethylene-Glycol - The corrosion inhibiting additives in ethylene-glycol need the presence of distilled
water to dissolve. Without water, additives form deposits in system. These act as insulation causing temperature to
rise to as high as 149°C (300°F). This temperature is hot enough to melt plastic and soften solder. The increased
temperature can result in engine detonation. In addition, 100 percent ethylene-glycol freezes at -22°C (-8°F).

50/50 Ethylene-Glycol and Distilled Water - Is the recommended mixture, it provides protection against freezing to

-37°C (-34°F). The antifreeze concentration must always be a minimum of 44 percent, year-round in all climates. If
percentage is lower, engine parts may be eroded by cavitation. Maximum protection against freezing is provided
with a 68 percent antifreeze concentration, which prevents freezing down to -67.7°C (-90°F). A higher percentage
will freeze at a warmer temperature. Also, a higher percentage of antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat
because specific heat of antifreeze is lower than that of water.

CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be measured with normal field equipment and can cause prob­lems associated with 100 percent ethylene-glycol.

NOTE: Refer to Service Procedures in this group for fluid level checking procedures.

DR/DH LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE 0 - 7

MoparT ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid is the recommended fluid for DaimlerChrysler automatic transmis­sions.

Dexron II fluid IS NOT recommended. Clutch chatter can result from the use of improper fluid.

MoparT ATF +4, Automatic Transmission Fluid when new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red so it can be identified
from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is not permanent and is not an
indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin to look darker in color and may eventually
become brown. This is normal. ATF+4 also has a unique odor that may change with age. Consequently, odor and
color cannot be used to indicate the fluid condition or the need for a fluid change.

FLUID ADDITIVES

DaimlerChrysler strongly recommends against the addition of any fluids to the transmission, other than those auto­matic transmission fluids listed above. Exceptions to this policy are the use of special dyes to aid in detecting fluid
leaks.

Various “special” additives and supplements exist that claim to improve shift feel and/or quality. These additives and
others also claim to improve converter clutch operation and inhibit overheating, oxidation, varnish, and sludge.
These claims have not been supported to the satisfaction of DaimlerChrysler and these additives must not be
used. The use of transmission “sealers” should also be avoided, since they may adversely affect the integrity of
transmission seals.

OPERATION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID

The automatic transmission fluid is selected based upon several qualities. The fluid must provide a high level of
protection for the internal components by providing a lubricating film between adjacent metal components. The fluid
must also be thermally stable so that it can maintain a consistent viscosity through a large temperature range. If the
viscosity stays constant through the temperature range of operation, transmission operation and shift feel will remain
consistent. Transmission fluid must also be a good conductor of heat. The fluid must absorb heat from the internal
transmission components and transfer that heat to the transmission case.

24-VALVE CUMMINS TURBO DIESEL MAINTENANCE SCHEDULES

There are two maintenance schedules that show the required service for your vehicle.
First is Schedule “B”. It is for vehicles that are operated under the conditions that are listed below and at the

beginning of the schedule.

• Frequent short trips where the engine does not achieve full operating temperature (operating temperature
defined as 190° F (66° C ) coolant temperature).

• Extensive engine idling (over 10 minutes per hour of operation) at ambient temperatures less than 32° F (0°
C).

• Driving in dusty conditions.

• Frequent trailer towing.

• Taxi, police, or delivery service (commercial service).

• Off-road or desert operation.

• Extensive operation at high engine speeds (greater than 2900 rpm) and loads (greater than 70% throttle).

NOTE: Most vehicles are operated under the conditions listed for Schedule (B(.
Second is Schedule “A”. It is for vehicles that are not operated under any of the conditions listed under Schedule

9B9.
Use the schedule that best describes your driving conditions. Where time and mileage are listed, follow the interval

that occurs first.

CAUTION: Failure to perform the required maintenance items may result in damage to the vehicle.

At Each Stop for Fuel

• Check the engine oil level about 15 minutes after a fully warmed engine is shut off. Checking the oil level while
the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level reading. Add oil only when the level is
at or below the ADD or MIN mark.

• Check the windshield washer solvent and add if required.

• Drain water from the fuel filter.

Once a Month

• Check tire pressure and look for unusual wear or damage.

• Inspect the batteries and clean and tighten the terminals as required.

• Check the fluid levels of coolant reservoir, brake master cylinder, and transmission and transfer case (if

equipped), add as needed.

• Check Filter Minder™. Replace air cleaner filter element if necessary.

• Check all lights and all other electrical items for correct operation.

At Each Oil Change

• Change the engine oil filter.

• Inspect the exhaust system.

• Inspect the brake hoses.

• Inspect the CV joints (if equipped) and front suspension components.

• Check the automatic transmission fluid level.

• Check the manual transmission fluid level.

• Check the coolant level, hoses, and clamps.

sories, set the parking brake, place the automatic transmission in PARK or the manual transmission in NEUTRAL
and turn the ignition OFF.

3. On disabled vehicle, place gear selector in park or neutral and set park brake. Turn off all accessories.

4. Connect jumper cables to booster battery. RED clamp to positive terminal (+). BLACK clamp to negative terminal

(-). DO NOT allow clamps at opposite end of cables to touch, electrical arc will result. Review all warnings in this
procedure.

5. On disabled vehicle, connect RED jumper cable clamp to positive (+) terminal. Connect BLACK jumper cable

clamp to engine ground as close to the ground cable attaching point as possible.

6. Start the engine in the vehicle which has the booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes, then start the

engine in the vehicle with the discharged battery.

CAUTION: Do not crank starter motor on disabled vehicle for more than 15 seconds, starter will overheat
and could fail.

7. Allow battery in disabled vehicle to charge to at least 12.4 volts (75% charge) before attempting to start engine.

If engine does not start within 15 seconds, stop cranking engine and allow starter to cool (15 min.), before crank­ing again.

TOWING

STANDARD PROCEDURE

A vehicle equipped with SAE approved sling-type tow­ing equipment can be used to tow all vehicles. When
towing a 4WD vehicle using a wheel-lift towing device,
use tow dollies under the opposite end of the vehicle.
A vehicle with flat-bed device can also be used to
transport a disabled vehicle.

A wooden crossbeam may be required for proper con­nection when using the sling-type, front-end towing
method.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION: The following safety precautions must be observed when towing a vehicle:

• Secure loose and protruding parts.

• Always use a safety chain system that is independent of the lifting and towing equipment.

• Do not allow towing equipment to contact the disabled vehicle’s fuel tank.

• Do not allow anyone under the disabled vehicle while it is lifted by the towing device.

• Do not allow passengers to ride in a vehicle being towed.

• Always observe state and local laws regarding towing regulations.

• Do not tow a vehicle in a manner that could jeopardize the safety of the operator, pedestrians or other motor-

ists.

• Do not attach tow chains, T-hooks, J-hooks, or a tow sling to a bumper, steering linkage, drive shafts or a

non-reinforced frame hole.

• Do not tow a heavily loaded vehicle. Damage to the cab, cargo box or frame may result. Use a flatbed device

to transport a loaded vehicle.

GROUND CLEARANCE

CAUTION: If vehicle is towed with wheels removed, install lug nuts to retain brake drums or rotors.

A towed vehicle should be raised until lifted wheels are a minimum 100 mm (4 in) from the ground. Be sure there
is adequate ground clearance at the opposite end of the vehicle, especially when towing over rough terrain or steep
rises in the road. If necessary, remove the wheels from the lifted end of the vehicle and lower the vehicle closer to
the ground, to increase the ground clearance at the opposite end of the vehicle. Install lug nuts on wheel attaching
studs to retain brake drums or rotors.

RAMP ANGLE

If a vehicle with flat-bed towing equipment is used, the approach ramp angle should not exceed 15 degrees.

TOWING WHEN KEYS ARE NOT AVAILABLE

When the vehicle is locked and keys are not available, use a flat bed hauler. A Wheel-lift or Sling-type device can
be used on 4WD vehicles provided all the wheels are lifted off the ground using tow dollies.

FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE VEHICLE TOWING

Chrysler Corporation recommends that a vehicle be transported on a flat-bed device. A Wheel-lift or Sling-type
device can be used provided all the wheels are lifted off the ground using tow dollies.

WARNING: WHEN TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE AND THE DRIVE WHEELS ARE SECURED IN A WHEEL
LIFT OR TOW DOLLIES, ENSURE THE TRANSMISSION IS IN THE PARK POSITION (AUTOMATIC TRANSMIS­SION) OR A FORWARD DRIVE GEAR (MANUAL TRANSMISSION).

CAUTION: Many vehicles are equipped with air dams, spoilers, and/or ground effect panels. To avoid com­ponent damage, a wheel-lift towing vehicle or a flat-bed hauling vehicle is recommended.
