A WORD ABOUT YOUR KEYS The double sided keys may be inserted into the locks with either side up. The keys for your new vehicle are enclosed in a plastic bag with a bar code label affixed to the front. The bar code can be used to or der duplicate keys from your dealer or a locksmith.
The ⬙ Security Light ⬙ , located in the instrument cluster , will illuminate for about 3 seconds when the ignition switch is first turned to the ON position. If the vehicle electronics do not r eceive a valid signal from the ignition key , the ⬙ Security Light ⬙ will flash continuously to signal that the vehicle has been immobilized.
2. Insert the second valid key and switch the ignition to the ON position within 15 seconds. After 10 seconds the ⬙ Security Light ⬙ will begin to flash.
IGNITION AND STEERING LOCK — IF EQUIPPED Manual T ransmissions Depress and hold the r elease button located between the ignition switch and the instrument panel. T urn the igni- tion key to LOCK and remove the key . DOOR KEY The same key used to start the vehicle is also used to unlock the doors.
W ARNING! When leaving the vehicle always remove the key from the ignition lock, and lock your vehicle. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, or with access to an unlocked vehicle. Unsupervised use of vehicle equipment may cause severe personal inju- ries and death.
Automatic Door Locks If this feature is enabled, your door locks will lock automatically when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 15 mph. This feature is enabled when your vehicle is shipped from the assembly plant and can be disabled by using the following procedur e: 1.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTR Y — IF EQUIPPED This system allows you to lock or unlock the doors from distances up to about 23 feet (7 meters) using a hand held radio transmitter .
5. This will enable you to unlock all doors on the first press of the UNLOCK button. T o lock the doors: Press and r elease the LOCK button on the transmitter to lock all doors. If the ignition is OFF , when the doors are locked, the parking lights will flash on once and the horn will chirp once.
4. T o reactivate this featur e, repeat the above steps. Using the Panic Alarm T o activate the Panic mode while the ignition is OFF press and release the P ANIC button on the transmitter once. When the Panic mode is activated, the interior lights will illuminate, the headlamps and parking lights will flash, and the horn will sound.
2. Closeness to a radio transmitter such as a radio station tower , airport transmitter , and some mobile or CB radios. T ransmitter Battery Service The recommended r eplacement battery is a 3V lithium 2016 cell. This transmitter requir es two batteries.
SECURITY ALARM SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED This system monitors the vehicle doors and ignition for unauthorized operation. When the alarm is activated, the system provides both audible and visual signals. For the first 3 minutes the horn will sound and the headlights and security telltale will flash repeatedly .
horn will sound three times when you unlock the doors and the security lamp will flash for 30 seconds. Check the vehicle for tampering. The Security system will also disarm, if the vehicle is started with a programmed Sentry Key .
The control on the left fr ont door panel has up-down switches that give you fingertip control of all power windows. There is a single opening and closing switch on the front passenger door for passenger window contr ol. The windows will operate only when the ignition switch is turned to the ON or ACC (Accessory) position.
W indow Lockout Switch (4 Door Models Only) The window lockout switch on the driver’s door allows you to disable the window control on the other doors. T o disable the window controls on the other doors, pr ess the window lock button. T o enable the window controls, press the window contr ol button again.
Sliding Rear Window A locking device in the center of the window helps to prevent entry fr om the rear of the vehicle. Squeeze the lock to release the window . WIND BUFFETING W ind buffeting can be described as the perception of pressur e on the ears or a helicopter type sound in the ears.
W ARNING! In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer much greater injuries if you are not properly buck- led up. Y ou can strike the interior of your vehicle or other passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your vehicle are buckled up properly .
W ARNING! It is extremely dangerous to ride in a cargo area, inside or outside of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is not equipped with seats and seat belts.
Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions 1. Enter the vehicle and close the door . Sit back and adjust the seat. 2. The seat belt latch plate is above the back of the front seat, next to your arm in the rear seat. Grasp the latch plate and pull out the belt.
W ARNING! • A belt buckled into the wrong buckle will not protect you properly . The lap portion could ride too high on your body , possibly causing internal injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you. • A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well.
W ARNING! • A lap belt worn too high can increase the risk of internal injury in a collision. The belt forces won’t be at the strong hip and pelvic bones, but across your abdomen. Always wear the lap belt as low as pos- sible and keep it snug. • A twisted belt can’t do its job as well.
Standard Cab Front Center Three Point Belt 1. The front center seat belt on the Standard Cab may be disconnected to open up utilization of the storage areas behind the front seats. The black latch plate can be detached from the black keyed seat belt buckle located on the inboard side of the passenger seat.
W ARNING! • If the black latch and black buckle are not prop- erly connected when the seat belt is used by an occupant, the seat belt will not be able to provide proper restraint and will increase the risk of injury in a collision. • When reattaching the black latch and black buckle, ensure the seat belt webbing is not twisted.
W ARNING! If the black latch and buckle are not connected when the seat belt is used by an occupant, the seat belt will not restrain you properly . Adjustable Upper Shoulder Belt Anchorage In the front r ow outboard seats, the shoulder belt can be adjusted upward or downwar d to help position the belt away from your neck.
As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will prefer a lower position, and if you ar e taller than average, you’ll prefer a higher position. When you r elease the anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that it is locked in position.
3. Allow the belt to retract. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound. This indicates the safety belt is now in the automatic locking mode.
NOTE: These devices are not a substitute for pr oper seat belt placement by the occupant. The seat belt still must be worn snugly and positioned properly . The pretensioners ar e triggered by the airbag contr ol module. Like the airbags, the pretensioners ar e single use items.
3. W ithin 60 seconds of turning the ignition switch to the ON position, unbuckle and then re-buckle the driver’s seat belt at least three times within 10 seconds, ending with the seat belt buckled. NOTE: W atch for the Seat Belt W arning Light to turn on while unbuckling and off while r e-buckling the seat belt.
W ARNING! Using a seat belt extender when not needed can increase the risk of injury in a collision. Only use the seat belt extender when the lap belt is not long enough when it is worn low and snug, and in the recommended seating positions. Remove and store the extender when not needed.
NOTE: The front airbags ar e certified to the Federal regulations that allow less for ceful deployment. The front airbags have a multistage inflator design. This may allow the airbag to have differ ent rates of inflation that are based on collision severity and occupant size.
Along with the seat belts, front airbags work with the instrument panel knee bolsters to pr ovide improved protection for the driver and fr ont passenger . W indow bags also work with seat belts to improve occupant protection. The seat belts are designed to pr otect you in many types of collisions.
4. If your vehicle has window bags, do not lean against the door or window , airbags will inflate forcefully into the space between you and the door . 5. If the airbag system in this vehicle needs to be modified to accommodate a disabled person, contact the Customer Center .
Air Bag System Components The airbag system consists of the following: • Occupant Restraint Controller • Side Remote Acceleration Sensors (If Equipped) • Airbag W arning Light • Driver Airbag .
How the Airbag System W orks • The Occupant Restraint Controller (ORC) determines if a frontal collision is sever e enough to requir e the airbags to inflate. The front airbag inflators ar e de- signed to provide dif ferent rates of airbag inflation from dir ection provided by the ORC.
• If your vehicle is equipped with an Occupant Classi- fication System (OCS), the sun visor air bag warning label will have the phrase ⬙ even with advanced air bags ⬙ on it.
For almost all properly installed r ear facing child re- straints, the P AD indicator light (If Equipped) will be illuminated indicating that the front passenger airbag is turned off and will not inflate. If the P AD indicator light is not illuminated, DO NOT assume the air bag is turned off and move the child r estraint to the second row of seats.
on the seat will also be sensed. The weight of an adult will cause the system to turn the airbag on. In this case, the OCS has classified the occupant of the seat as an adult. An adult occupant needs to sit in a normal position (with their feet on or near the floor) in order to be properly classified.
airbag is turned off until the fault is clear ed. If an object is lodged under the seat and interferes with operation of the weight sensors, a fault will occur which turns on both the P AD Indicator Light (If Equipped) and the Airbag W arning Light.
• Y our vehicle has four W eight Sensors (If Equipped) located between the seat and the floor pan. The weight sensors measure applied weight and transfers that information to the OCM. • The Side Impact SRS W indow Bags are designed to activate only in certain side collisions.
• Do not use prior or future model year seat covers not designated for the specific model being repair ed. Al- ways use the correct seat cover specified for the vehicle. • Do not replace the seat cover with an aftermarket seat cover . • Do not add a secondary seat cover other than those approved by DaimlerChrysler/Mopar .
Passenger Airbag On/Off Switch – (Standard Cab V ehicles Only) The passenger front airbag is to be turned of f only if the passenger: • is an infant (less than 1 year old) who must ride in the fro.
W ARNING! Whenever an airbag is turned off, even a lap/ shoulder belted passenger may hit their head, neck, or chest on the dashboard (instrument panel) or windshield in a crash.
If you do have a collision which deploys the airbags, any or all of the following may occur: • The nylon airbag material may sometimes cause abra- sions and/or skin reddening to the driver and fr ont passenger as the airbags deploy and unfold.
Maintaining Y our Airbag System W ARNING! • Modifications to any part of the airbag system could cause it to fail when you need it. Y ou could be injured if the airbag system is not there to protect you.
• The light remains on or flickers after the 6 to 8 second interval. • The light flickers or comes on and remains on while driving. NOTE: If the speedometer , tachometer or any engine related gauges ar e not working, the airbag control mod- ule may also be disabled.

Child Restraint Everyone in your vehicle needs to be buckled up all the time — babies and children, too. Every state in the United States and all Canadian provinces r equire that small children ride in pr oper restraint systems. This is the law , and you can be prosecuted for ignoring it.
Infants and Small Children There ar e differ ent sizes and types of restraints for children fr om newborn size to the child almost large enough for an adult safety belt.
• The belt-positioning booster seat is for children weigh- ing more than 40 lbs (18 kg), but who ar e still too small to fit the vehicle’s seat belts properly . If the child cannot sit with knees bent over the vehicle’s seat cushion while the child’s back is against the seat back, they should use a belt-positioning-booster seat.
Here are some tips for getting the most out of your child restraint: • Before buying any r estraint system, make sure that it has a label certifying that it meets all applicable Safety Standards. W e also recommend that you make sure that you can install the child restraint in the vehicle where you will use it befor e you buy it.
• If the belt still can’t be tightened, or if pulling and pushing on the restraint loosens the belt, disconnect the latch plate from the buckle, turn the buckle around, and insert the latch plate into the buckle again. If you still can’t make the child restraint secur e, try a differ ent seating position.
Identification dots are located above the standar d cab front seat lower anchorages as a guide for locating lower anchors. NOTE: For children riding in the fr ont seat of a Stan- dard Cab model r efer to the “Passenger Airbag On/Off Switch” located in this section.
Child restraint systems having attachments designed to connect to the lower anchorages are now available. Child restraints having tether straps and hooks for connection to the seatback tether anchorage have been available for some time.
Installing the Child Restraint System W ARNING! Do not install child restraint systems equipped with LA TCH attachments in the center position of a Quad Cab model rear seat. The LA TCH anchorages in this seat are designed for the two outboard seating posi- tions only .
W ARNING! Improper installation of a child restraint to the LA TCH anchorages can lead to failure of an infant or child restraint. The child could be badly injured or killed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions exactly when installing an infant or child restraint.
2. Lift the cover (if so equipped), and attach the hook to the square opening in the sheet metal. 3. Install the child restraint and remove the slack in the tether strap according to the manufactur er’s instructions. Multiple Child Restraint Installation Sequence - (Quad Cab Rear Seats) 1.
5. Place a child restraint on the center rear seat and adjust the tether strap so that it will reach under the head restraint to the tether anchor dir ectly behind the seat and to the anchor directly behind the right seat.
Quad Cab T ether Strap Mounting 66 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE.
Children T oo Large for Booster Seats Children who ar e large enough to wear the shoulder belt comfortably , and whose legs are long enough to bend over the front of the seat when their back is against the seat back should use the lap/shoulder belt in a rear seat.
• Check the engine oil level at every fuel fill. NOTE: A new engine will consume some oil during the first few thousand miles of operation. This should be considered as a normal part of the br eak-in and not interpreted as a sign of dif ficulty . SAFETY TIPS T ransporting Passengers This vehicle is designed to carry passengers in the cab only .
Exhaust Gas W ARNING! Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, a poten- tially toxic gas that by itself is colorless and odorless. T o avoid inhaling these gases, the following precau- tions should be observed: • Do not run the engine in a closed garage or in confined areas any longer than needed to move your vehicle in or out of the area.
Safety Checks Y ou Should Make Inside The V ehicle Seat Belts Inspect the belt system periodically , checking for cuts, frays and loose parts. Damaged parts must be replaced immediately . Do not disassemble or modify the system. Seat belt assemblies must be replaced after an accident if they have been damaged (bent retractor , torn webbing, etc.

IGNITION/ST ARTER SWITCH LOCK Engages the steering wheel lock (if equipped) when the steering wheel is turned. OFF Unlocks the steering wheel (if equipped with locking wheel). ON This is the normal running position. ACC Allows the electrical accessories to be used when the engine is not running.
ST ARTING PROCEDURES The starter should not be operated for more than 15- second intervals. W aiting a few seconds between such intervals will protect the starter fr om overheating. Manual T ransmission Apply the parking brake, place the gearshift control lever in NEUTRAL and depress the clutch pedal to the floor before starting the vehicle.
instrument panel and r elease when the engine starts. If the engine fails to start within 10 seconds, turn the key to the OFF position, wait 5 seconds, then repeat the normal starting procedur e. If Engine Fails T o Start If the engine fails to start after you have followed the normal starting procedur e, it may be flooded.
After Starting The idle speed is automatically controlled and will de- crease as the engine warms up. CAUTION! Long periods of engine idling, especially at high engine speeds can cause excessive exhaust tempera- tures which can damage your vehicle. Do not leave your vehicle unattended with the engine running.
“P” Park This gear position supplements the parking brake by locking the transmission. The engine can be started in this range. Never use Park while the vehicle is in motion. Apply the parking brake when leaving the vehicle in this range. Always apply parking brake first, then place the selector in Park position.
W ARNING! It is dangerous to shift the selector lever out of “P” or “N” if the engine speed is higher than idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate quickly forward or in re- verse. Y ou could lose control of the vehicle and hit someone or something.
NOTE: Do not exceed maximum engine speed. “1” First Use this position for driving up very steep hills and for engine braking at low speeds (20 mph [32 km/h] or less) when going downhill.

occurs, press the “T OW/HAUL” button. This will im- prove performance and r educe the potential for transmis- sion overheating or failur e due to excessive shifting. The “TOW/HAUL” light will illuminate in the instr u- ment cluster to indicate when the switch has been activated.
Manual T ransmission — 6-Speed NOTE: The parking brake should be engaged before leaving the vehicle, especially on an incline. This model is equipped with a clutch interlocking igni- tion system. The clutch pedal must be fully depressed to start the vehicle.
Y ou should use low gear when starting from a standing position if under a heavy load. T o shift into Reverse, come to a complete stop. Depress the clutch and pause briefly to allow the gear train to stop. Move the shift lever from the Neutral position straight across and up into Reverse.
CAUTION! When descending a hill, be very careful to downshift one gear at a time to prevent overspeeding the engine which can cause valve damage. LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL The limited-slip differ enti.
P ARKING BRAKE The foot operated parking brake is positioned below the lower left corner of the instrument panel. T o release the parking brake, pull the parking brake release handle. NOTE: The instrument cluster r ed brake warning light will come on and flash to indicate that the parking brake is applied.
W ARNING! • Always fully apply the parking brake when leaving your vehicle, or it may roll and cause damage or injury . Also be certain to leave a manual transmis- sion in Reverse or first gear . Failure to do so may allow the vehicle to roll and cause damage or injury .
Brake Noise During normal operation of the brake system certain noises may be present fr om time to time. Occasional ⬙ groan ⬙ or ⬙ squeal ⬙ noises may occur during normal operation of the brake system which may not be indica- tive of a problem.
W ARNING! Pumping of the anti-lock brakes will diminish their effectiveness and may lead to an accident. Pumping makes the stopping distance longer . Just press firmly on your brake pedal when you need to slow down or stop.
POWER STEERING Y our power steering system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for any reason the hydraulic pr essure is interrupted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle. Under these conditions you will experience a substantial increase in steering effort.
• European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards. T ires designed to this standar d have the tire size molded into the sidewall beginning with the section width. The letter ⬙ P ⬙ is absent from this tir e size designation. Example: 215/65R15 96H • L T(Light T ruck)-Metric tire sizing is based on U.
T ire Sizing Chart EXAMPLE: Size Designation: P = Passenger car tire size based on U.S. design standar ds ⴖ ....blank.... ⴖ = Passenger car tire based on Eur opean design standards LT = Light T ruck tire based on U.
EXAMPLE: Service Description: 95 = Load Index —A numerical code associated with the maximum load a tire can carry . H = Speed Symbol —A symbol indicating the range of speeds at which a tire can carry a load corresponding to its load index under certain operating conditions.
Tire Identification Number (TIN) The TIN may be found on one or both sides of the tire however the date code may only be on one side. T ires with white sidewalls will have the full TIN including date code located on the white sidewall side of the tire.
Tire Loading and T ire Pressure T ire Placard Location NOTE: The proper cold tir e inflation pressur e is listed on either the face of the driver’s door or the driver’s side “B” pillar .
3) the tire size designed for your vehicle 4) the cold tire inflation pr essures for the fr ont, rear and spare tir es. Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle.
4. The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and luggage load capacity . For example, if “XXX” amount equals 1400 lbs. and there will be five 150 lb. passengers in your vehicle, the amount of available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lb.
226 ST ARTING AND OPERA TING.
W ARNING! Overloading of your tires is dangerous. Overloading can cause tire failure, affect vehicle handling, and increase your stopping distance. Use tires of the recommended load capacity for your vehicle.
2. Economy— Improper inflation pr essures can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the tir e tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce tr ead life resulting in a need for earlier tire r eplacement. Underinflation also increases tir e rolling r esistance and results in higher fuel consumption.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap–if equipped. This will prevent moisture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the valve stem. Inflation pressur es specified on the placard ar e always “cold tire inflation pr essure”.
T ire Pressures for High Speed Operation The manufacturer advocates driving at safe speeds within posted speed limits. Where speed limits or condi- tions are such that the vehicle can be driven at high speeds, maintaining correct tir e inflation pressur e is very important.
Compact Spare Tire — If Equipped The compact spare is for temporary emer gency use with radial tires. It is engineer ed to be used on your style vehicle only . Since this tire has limited tread life, the original tire should be r epaired (or r eplaced) and rein- stalled at the first opportunity .
Limited Use Spare — If Equipped The limited use spare tir e is for temporary emergency use on your vehicle. This tire is identified by a limited use spare tir e warning label located on the limited use spare tire and wheel assembly . This tire may look like the original equipped tire on the fr ont or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not.
W ARNING! Fast spinning tires can be dangerous. Forces gener- ated by excessive wheel speeds may cause tire dam- age or failure. A tire could explode and injure someone. Do not spin your vehicle’s wheels faster than 35 mph (55 km/h) when you are stuck.
Life of Tire The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying factors including but not limited to: • Driving style • T ire pressur e • Distance driven W ARNING! T ires and spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combina- tions of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance charac- teristics, resulting in changes to steering, han- dling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tire and wheel out-of- balance. Proper balancing will r educe vibration and avoid tire cupping and spotty wear .
These cautions apply to all chain traction devices, includ- ing link and cable (radial) chains. T ire chain use is permitted only on the rear tir es of SR T–10 Models. NOTE: The use of class “S” chains is permitted on SR T– 10 Models with the use of 17 x 8 steel wheels (part number 521 13265AC) available from your authorized dealer .
TIRE ROT A TION RECOMMENDA TIONS T ires on the front and r ear axles of vehicles operate at differ ent loads and perform differ ent steering, driving, and braking functions. For these reasons, they wear at unequal rates, and develop irregular wear patterns.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS Y our vehicle is designed to meet all emis- sion regulations and pr ovide excellent fuel economy when using high quality pre- mium unleaded gasoline having an octane rating of 91 or higher . Light spark knock at low engine speeds is not harmful to your engine.
Gasoline/Oxygenate Blends Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with mate- rials called oxygenates such as 10% alcohol, MTBE, ETBE or T AME. Oxygenates are r equired in some ar eas of the country during the winter months to reduce carbon monoxide emissions.
Sulfur In Gasoline Y our vehicle may have been designed to meet California low emission standards on clean burning, low sulfur , California gasoline. Gasoline sold outside of California is allowed to have higher sulfur levels that may affect the performance of your vehicle’s catalytic converter .
some light smoke, your engine may be out of tune or malfunctioning and may requir e immediate service. Contact your dealer for service assistance. • When pulling a heavy load or driving a fully loaded vehicle when the humidity is low and the temperature is high, use a premium unleaded fuel to help pr event spark knock.
the vehicle is raised. Have any abnormal conditions repair ed promptly . Until repaired, drive with all side windows fully open. ADDING FUEL NOTE: The fuel tank filler tube is about 2 inches (50 mm) down from the opening.
CAUTION! Damage to the fuel system or emission control system could result from using an improper fuel tank filler tube cap (gas cap). A poorly fitting cap could let impurities into the fuel system. W ARNING! • Never allow any lit smoking materials near the vehicles while removing the cap or filling the tank.
CAUTION! Damage to the catalytic converter can result if your vehicle is not kept in proper operating condition. In the event of engine malfunction, particularly involv- ing engine misfire or other apparent loss of perfor- mance, have your vehicle serviced promptly .
VEHICLE LOADING Certification Label As requir ed by National Highway T raffic Safety Admin- istration Regulations, your vehicle has a certification label affixed to the driver’s side door or pillar .
T ire Size The tire size on the Label r epresents the actual tir e size on your vehicle. Replacement tires must be equal to the load capacity of this tire size.
Improper weight distributions can have an adverse ef fect on the way your vehicle steers and handles and the way the brakes operate. CAUTION! Do not load your vehicle any heavier than the GVWR or the maximum front and rear GA WR. If you do, parts on your vehicle can break, or it can change the way your vehicle handles.

W ARNING! The jack is designed to use as a tool for changing tires only . The jack should not be used to lift the vehicle for service purposes, unless suitable sup- ports are placed under the vehicle as a safety mea- sure. The vehicle should be jacked on a firm level surface only .
Reinstalling The Scissors-T ype Jack And T ools (SRT–10 Models) 1. Lower the jack all the way down by turning the jack turn-screw until the jack is snug. 2. Position the jack and tool bag (unrolled). Make sure the lug wrench is under the jack near the jack turn-scr ew .
3. Fold the flap and roll the jack tool kit into a cylindrical package (in direction of arr ows), and tie to the jack using the tie straps. Folding Flap and Rolling Bag T ying Bag to Jack with Straps .
4. Place the jack and tools in the storage position holding the jack by the jack turn-screw , slip the jack and tools under seat so that the bottom slot engages into the fastener on the floor and then secure to the floor pan using the wing bolt.
CHANGING A FLA T TIRE Removing The Spare Tire Remove the spare tir e before attempting to jack the truck. Attach the wheel wrench to the jack extension tube. Insert the tube through the access hole between the lower tailgate and the top of the bumper and into the winch mechanism tube.
Tire Changing Procedure W ARNING! Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. Y ou could be crushed. Never get any part of your body under a vehicle that is on a jack. Never start or run the engine while the vehicle is on a jack.
• T urn on the Hazard W arning Flasher . • Block both the front and r ear of the wheel diagonally oppo- site the jacking position. For example, if the right front wheel is being changed, block the left rear wheel. • Passengers should not remain in the vehicle when the vehicle is being jacked.
1. Remove the spare wheel, jack, and tools from storage. 2. Using the wheel wrench, loosen, but do not remove, the wheel nuts by turning them counterclockwise one turn while the wheel is still on the ground.
• When changing a rear wheel, assemble the jack drive tube to the jack and connect the drive tube to the extension tube. Place the jack under the axle between the spring and the shock absorber with the drive tubes extending to the rear . • Connect the jack tube extension and wheel wrench.
6. Using the wheel wrench, finish tightening the nuts using a crisscross pattern. Corr ect nut tightness is 90–1 10 ft. lbs. (125–150 N·m). If in doubt about the correct tightness, have them checked with a torque wr ench by your dealer or at a service station.

ENGINE COMP ARTMENT— 8.3L 288 MAINT AINING YOUR VEHICLE.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II) Y our vehicle is equipped with a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBD II. This system monitors the performance of the emissions and engine control systems.
For states which have an I/M (Inspection and Maintenance) requir ement, this check verifies the following: the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) is functioning and is not on when the engine is running, and that the OBD (On Board Diagnostic) system is r eady for testing.
b. The MIL light will r emain fully illuminated until the first engine crank or the key is turned off. This means that your vehicle’s OBD system is ready and you can proceed to the I/M station. If your OBD system is not ready , you should see your dealer or repair facility .
W ARNING! Y ou can be badly injured working on or around a motor vehicle. Do only that service work for which you have the knowledge and the proper equipment. If you have any doubt about your ability to perform a service job, take your vehicle to a competent mechanic.
Checking the oil while the vehicle is on level ground will improve the accuracy of the oil level r eadings. Maintain the oil level between the ADD and SAFE markings on the dipstick. Adding one quart of oil when the reading is at the ADD mark will result in a SAFE r eading on these engines.
• More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds during hot weather , above 32°C (90°F) • T axi, Police or delivery service (commercial service) • Off-r oad or desert operation • If equipped for and operating with E-85 (ethanol) fuel.
Engine Oil Identification (API) Symbol There is a symbol to aid you in selecting the pr oper engine oil. This symbol means that the oil has been certified by the American Petroleum Institute (API). W e only recommend synthetic API Certified engine oils, such as Mo- bil 1 威 , that meet the requir ements of Material Standard MS-10725.
Materials Added to Engine Oil Do not add any materials (other than leak detection dyes) to engine oil. Engine oil is an engineered pr oduct and it’s performance may be impaired by supplemental addi- tives. Disposing of Used Engine Oil And Oil Filters Care should be taken in disposing of used engine oil and oil filters from your vehicle.
Spark Plugs Spark plugs must fire pr operly to assure engine perfor - mance and emission control. New plugs should be in- stalled at the specified mileage. The entire set should be replaced if ther e is any malfunction due to a faulty spark plug, malfunctioning spark plugs can damage the cata- lytic converter .
Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter requir es the use of unleaded fuel only . Leaded gasoline will destroy the effectiveness of the catalyst as an emission control device. Under normal operating conditions, the catalytic con- verter will not requir e maintenance.
W ARNING! A hot exhaust system can start a fire if you park over materials that can burn. Such materials might be grass or leaves coming into contact with your ex- haust system. Do not park or operate your vehicle in areas where your exhaust system can contact any- thing that can burn.
Crankcase Emission Control System Proper operation of this system depends on fr eedom from plugging due to deposits. As vehicle mileage builds up, the Crankcase V entilation V alve orifice may accumu- late deposits. If a valve is not working properly , replace it with a new orifice.
CAUTION! It is essential when replacing the cables on the battery that the positive cable is attached to the positive post and the negative cable is attached to the negative post. Battery posts are marked (+) positive and negative (-) and identified on the battery case.
Refrigerant Recovery And Recycling The air conditioning system of your vehicle contains R-134a, a refrigerant that does not deplete the ozone layer in the upper atmosphere. The manufactur er recommends that air conditioning service be done by facilities using refrigerant r ecycling and recovery equipment that meets SAE standard J1991.
The ball joints originally supplied with the vehicle are permanently lubricated at the factory and do not requir e service. However , if the seals on the ball joints are damaged, the joints should be replaced. Serviceable replacement ball joints ar e available.
Windshield Wiper Blades The rubber edges of the wiper blades and the windshield should be cleaned periodically with a sponge or soft cloth and a mild nonabrasive cleaner . This will remove accu- mulations of salt or road film. Operation of the wipers on dry glass for long periods may cause deterioration of the wiper blades.
Exhaust System The best protection against carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle body is a properly maintained engine exhaust system. Whenever a change is noticed in the sound of the exhaust system, .
Cooling System Cooling System Maintenance At the intervals shown in the Maintenance Schedules Section of the manual, the system should be drained, flushed and filled. Inspection Check engine coolant (antifreeze) pr otection every 12 months (before the onset of fr eezing weather , where applicable).
W ARNING! Never add coolant to the radiator when the engine is overheated. Do not loosen or remove pressure cap to cool an overheated engine! The coolant is under pressure and severe scalding could result. Drain, Flush And Refill At intervals shown on the Maintenance Schedules, the system should be drained, flushed and refilled.
NOTE: Failure to follow the antifr eeze concentration and replacement r ecommendations, or failure to use antifreeze formulated to pr event corrosion of all cooling system metals, may result in radiator plugging, over heat- ing, or cooling system leaks such as in core hole plugs.
Disposal Of Used Engine Coolant Used ethylene glycol based engine coolant is a regulated substance requiring pr oper disposal. Check with your local authorities to determine the disposal rules for your community . Do not store ethylene glycol-based engine coolant in open containers or allow it to remain in puddles on the ground.
Insure nylon tubing in these ar eas has not melted or collapsed. Inspect all hose connections such as clamps and cou- plings to make sure they ar e secure and no leaks ar e present. Components should be replaced immediately if ther e is any evidence of wear or damage that could cause failure.
W ARNING! Overfilling the brake fluid reservoir can result in spilling brake fluid on hot engine parts and the brake fluid catching fire. Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from for eign matter or moisture.
Propeller Shaft Universal Joints Cross T ype (No fittings) — Relubrication of this type of universal joint is not requir ed. The seals should be inspected for external leaks or damage. If external leaks or damage is evident, the universal joint should be replaced.
Manual T ransmission Lubricant Selection Refer to the Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts section for correct fluid type. CAUTION! Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac- turer’s recommended fluid may cause deterioration in transmission shift quality .
Procedure For Checking Fluid Level T o properly check the automatic transmission fluid level, the following procedur e must be used: 1. The vehicle must be on level ground. 2. The engine should be running at curb idle speed for a minimum of 60 seconds.
CAUTION! Using a transmission fluid other than the manufac- turers recommended fluid may cause deterioration in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter shudder . Using a transmission fluid other than the manufacturers recommended fluid will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes.
Front Wheel Bearings Front wheel bearings for all Dodge Ram T rucks ar e sealed-for-life. They do not r equire gr easing or seal replacement. In some instances, these bearings will “purge” excess gr ease and the bearing will look slightly wet. This is normal.
Appearance Care and Protection from Corrosion Protection of Body and Paint from Corrosion V ehicle body care requir ements vary according to geo- graphic locations and usage.
• A void using abrasive compounds and power buffing that may diminish the gloss or thin out the paint finish. CAUTION! Do not use abrasive or strong cleaning materials such as steel wool or scouring powder , which will scratch metal and painted surfaces.
• If you carry special cargo such as chemicals, fertilizers, de-icer salt, etc., be sure that such materials ar e well packaged and sealed. • If a lot of driving is done on gravel roads, consider mud or stone shields behind each wheel. • Use Mopar 威 touch up paint on scratches as soon as possible.
Glass Surfaces All glass surfaces should be cleaned on a regular basis with any commercial household-type glass cleaner . Never use an abrasive type cleaner . Use caution when cleaning inside rear windows equipped with electric defrosters or windshields equipped with a windshield wiper de-icer .
