A MESSAGE FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC

Chrysler Group LLC and Cummins威welcome you as a

Cummins威turbocharged diesel-powered truck owner.

Your diesel truck will sound, feel, drive, and operate

differently from a gasoline-powered truck. It is important

that you read and understand this manual.

Almost 100% of the heavy duty trucks in the United

States and Canada are diesel-powered because of the fuel

economy, rugged durability, and high torque which per-

mits pulling heavy loads. Cummins威engines power well

over half of these trucks. Now this same technology and

proven performance is yours in your truck equipped

with the Cummins威turbocharged diesel engine.

You may find that some of the starting, operating, and

maintenance procedures are different. However, they are

simple to follow and careful adherence to them will

ensure that you take full advantage of the features of this

engine.

NOTE: Some aftermarket products may cause severe

engine/transmission and/or exhaust system damage.

Your vehicle’s Powertrain Control Systems can detect

and store information about vehicle modifications that

increase horsepower and torque output such as whether

or not performance-enhancing powertrain components,

commonly referred to as downloaders, power boxes, or

performance chips have been used.

This information cannot be erased and will stay in the

system’s memory even if the modification is removed.

This information can be retrieved by Chrysler Group

LLC, and service and repair facilities, when servicing

your vehicle. This information may be used to determine

if repair will be covered by warranty.

There is a probability that the use of a “performance

chip” will prohibit the engine from starting. In this

instance, the vehicle will need to be serviced by a

authorized dealer in order to return the vehicle to it’s

factory settings.

STEERING WHEEL LOCK — IF EQUIPPED

Your vehicle may be equipped with a passive steering

wheel lock. This lock prevents steering the vehicle with-

out the key fob. If the steering wheel is moved approxi-

mately a half turn in either direction and the key fob is

not in the ignition switch, the steering wheel will lock.

To Manually Lock the Steering Wheel

With the engine running, turn the steering wheel upside

down, turn off the engine and remove the key fob. Turn

the steering wheel slightly in either direction until the

lock engages.

To Release the Steering Wheel Lock

Insert the key fob into the ignition switch and start the

engine. If the key fob is difficult to turn, move the wheel

slightly to the right or left to disengage the lock.

NOTE: If you turned the wheel to the right to engage

the lock, you must turn the wheel slightly to the right to

disengage it. If you turned the wheel to the left to engage

the lock, turn the wheel slightly to the left to disengage it.

ENGINE BREAK-IN RECOMMENDATIONS

The Cummins威turbocharged diesel engine does not

require a break-in period due to its construction. Normal

operation is allowed, providing the following recommen-

dations are followed:

•

Warm up the engine before placing it under load.

•

Do not operate the engine at idle for prolonged

periods.

•

Use the appropriate transmission gear to prevent

engine lugging.

6 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE

•

Observe vehicle oil pressure and temperature indica-

tors.

•

Check the coolant and oil levels frequently.

•

Vary throttle position at highway speeds when carry-

ing or towing significant weight.

NOTE: Light duty operation such as light trailer towing

or no load operation will extend the time before the

engine is at full efficiency. Reduced fuel economy and

power may be seen at this time.

For additional vehicle break-in requirements, refer to

“Trailer Towing” in “Starting and Operating” of the

Owners Manual.

Because of the construction of the Cummins威turbo-

charged diesel engine, engine run-in is enhanced by

loaded operating conditions which allow the engine

parts to achieve final finish and fit during the first

6,000 miles (10 000 km).
