NOTE: After setting the child protection door lock system, always test the door from the inside to make certain it is in the desired position.
WINDOWS Power Windows – If Equipped 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 and on the rear doors of Quad Cab t and Mega Cab t models.

OCCUP ANT RESTRAINTS Some of the most important safety features in your vehicle are the r estraint systems. These include the front and rear seat belts for the driver and all passengers, fr ont airbags for both the driver and front passenger and, if equipped, window bags for the driver and passengers seated next to a window .
of ejection and the risk of injury caused by striking the inside of the vehicle. Everyone in a motor vehicle should be belted at all times. Lap/Shoulder Belts All seating positions except the Quad Cab t front center seating position have combination lap/shoulder belts.
W ARNING! • W earing a seat belt incorrectly is dangerous. Seat belts are designed to go around the large bones of your body . These are the strongest parts of your body and can take the forces of a collision the best. W earing your belt in the wrong place could make your injuries in a collision much worse.
3. When the belt is extended long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click.” 1 — Latch Plate Latch Plate T o Buckle 38 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR V.
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.
Regular Cab Front Center Three-Point Belt 1. The front center seat belt on the Regular 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.
Center Lap Belts The center seating position for the Quad Cab t front seat has a lap belt only . T o fasten the lap belt, slide the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a 9 click. 9 T o lengthen the lap belt, tilt the latch plate and pull. T o remove slack, pull the loose end of the webbing.
Enhanced Seat Belt Reminder System (BeltAlert T ) If the driver’s seat belt has not been buckled within 60 seconds of starting the vehicle and if the vehicle speed is greater than 5 mph (8 km/h), the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert t ) will alert the driver to buckle the seat belt.
The Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert t ) can be reac- tivated by repeating this pr ocedure. NOTE: Although the Enhanced W arning System (BeltAlert t ) has been deactivated, the Seat Belt W arning Light will continue to illuminate while the driver’s seat belt remains unbuckled.
Driver And Right Front Passenger Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)—Airbags This vehicle has airbags for both the driver and right front passenger as a supplement to the seat belt r estraint systems. The driver’s front airbag is mounted in the steering wheel.
W ARNING! • Do not put anything on or around the front airbag covers or attempt to manually open them. Y ou may damage the airbags and you could be injured be- cause the airbags are no longer functional. These protective covers for the airbag cushions are de- signed to open only when the airbags are inflating.
Here ar e some simple steps you can follow to minimize the risk of harm from a deploying airbag. 1. Children 12 years and under should always ride buckled up in a rear seat in an appr opriate child restraint.
W ARNING! • Relying on the airbags alone could lead to more severe injuries in a collision. The airbags work with your seat belt to restrain you properly . In some collisions the airbags won’t deploy at all. Always wear your seat belts even though you have airbags.
• Driver and Front Passenger Seat Belt Pr etensioners (if equipped) • Driver Seat T rack Position Sensor (if equipped) • Passenger Side Frontal Airbag ON/OFF Switch (2500/ 3500 Regular Cab V ehi.
W ARNING! Ignoring the AIRBAG warning light in your instru- ment panel could mean you won’t have the airbags to protect you in a collision. If the light does not come on, stays on after you start the vehicle, or if it comes on as you drive, have the airbag system checked right away .
• The Driver and Passenger Airbag/Inflator Units are located in the center of the steering wheel and the right side of the instrument panel. When the ORC detects a collision requiring the airbags, it signals the inflator units. A large quantity of nontoxic gas is generated to inflate the front airbags.
• The Knee Impact Bolsters help protect the knees of the driver and the front passenger , and positions them for the best interaction with the front airbag.
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 six to eight- 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.
In the event that an investigation is undertaken by DaimlerChrysler Corporation (regar dless of initiative), the company or its designated repr esentative will first obtain permission of the appropria.

W ARNING! In a collision, an unrestrained child, even a tiny baby , can become a missile inside the vehicle. The force required to hold even an infant on your lap can become so great that you could not hold the child, no matter how strong you are. The child and others could be badly injured.
unless the airbag is turned off. An airbag deployment could cause severe injury or death to infants in this position. • Children who weigh mor e than 20 lbs (9 kg) and who are older than one year can ride forwar d-facing in the vehicle.
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.
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. • Buckle the child into the seat according to the child restraint manufactur er’s directions.
NOTE: For children riding in the fr ont seat of a Regular Cab model, refer to the “Passenger Airbag ON/OFF Switch” located in this section. Regular Cab Passenger Seat Quad Cab t Rear Outboard Seat.
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.
of reach of childr en. It is recommended that before installing the child restraint, buckle the seat belt so the seat belt is tucked behind the child restraint and out of reach.
rearwar d-facing infant restraints will also be equipped with a tether strap, a hook and means for adjusting the tension in the strap. In general, you will first loosen the adjusters on the lower straps and tether straps so that you can more easily attach the hook or connector to the lower anchorages and tether anchorages.
W ARNING! An incorrectly anchored tether strap could lead to seat failure and injury to the child. In a collision, the seat could come loose and allow the child to crash into the inside of the vehicle or other passengers, or even be thrown from the vehicle.
Multiple Child Restraint Installation Sequence - (Quad Cab t Rear Seats) 1. Obtain tether straps by raising the head restraints and reaching between the r ear glass and rear seat. The tether strap may be retained with an elastic band. Accessibility to the tether strap is greatly impr oved by raising the seat cushion to the “up” position.
Multiple Child Restraints 72 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE ST ARTING YOUR VEHICLE.
T ether Anchorage Points at All Three Seating Positions (Mega Cab t ) 1. Place the child restraint on the seat and adjust the tether strap so that it will reach over the seatback under the head restraint to the tether anchor dir ectly behind the seat.
• Make sure that the child is upright in the seat. • The lap portion should be low on the hips and as snug as possible. • Check belt fit periodically . A child’s squirming or slouching can move the belt out of position. If the shoulder belt contacts the face or neck, move the child closer to the center of the vehicle.
• Check the coolant and oil levels frequently . • V ary throttle position at highway speeds when carry- ing or towing significant weight. Because of the construction of the Cummins t Diesel engine.

ST ARTING PROCEDURES – DIESEL ENGINES Before starting your vehicle, adjust your seat, adjust both inside and outside mirrors, and fasten your seat belts. The starter should not be operated for more than 15- second intervals. W aiting a few minutes between such intervals will protect the starter fr om overheating.
NOTE: The engine block heater cord is a factory in- stalled option. If your vehicle is not equipped, heater cords ar e available from your authorized Mopar t dealer . • A 12–volt heater built into the fuel filter housing aids in preventing fuel gelling.
CAUTION! If W A TER IN FUEL indicator light remains on DO NOT ST AR T engine before you drain water from the fuel filter to avoid engine damage. Refer to “Drain- ing Fuel/W ater Separator Filter (6.7L Diesel Engine)” under “Maintenance Procedures” in Section 7.
Follow the steps in the Normal Starting Procedur e ex- cept: CAUTION! Do not crank engine for more than 15 seconds at a time or starter motor damage may result. T urn key to OFF and wait at least two minutes for starter to cool before repeating start procedure.
For Extremely Cold W eather Starting — Engine Manifold Air T emperature Below 0°F (-18°C) In extremely cold weather below 0°F (-18°C) it may be beneficial to cycle the manifold heaters twice before attempting to start the engine.
• If the engine is started before the W AIT TO ST ART light turns off, the pr eheat cycle will turn off. • If the engine is cranked for more than 10 seconds, the post-heat cycle will turn off. NOTE: Engine idle speed will automatically increase to 1000 RPM at low coolant temperatures to impr ove engine warm-up.
Starting Fluids W ARNING! ST AR TING FLUIDS or flammable liquids are NEVER TO BE USED in the Cummins t Diesel (see W arning label). Never pour diesel fuel, flammable liquid, starting fluids (ether) into the air cleaner canister , air intake piping, or turbocharger inlet in an attempt to start the vehicle.
• V oltmeter Operation: 1. The voltmeter may show a gauge fluctuation if certain engine temperatures ar e below 66°F (19°C). This cycling operation is caused by the post-heat cycle of the intake manifold heater system. The number of cycles and the length of the cycling operation is controlled by the engine contr ol module.
• Climatized Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel is a blend of Number 2 Ultra Low Sulfur and Number 1 Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuels which reduces the temperatur e at which wax crystals form in fuel. NOTE: The engine requir es the use of “Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel Fuel” .
Block Heater Usage A. T emperatures below 0°F (-18°C) • Block Heater Required for 15W -40 • Block Heater Recommended for 5W -40 B. T emperatures below - 20°F (-29°C) • Block Heater Required .
NOTE: High-speed, no-load running of a cold engine can result in excessive white smoke and poor engine performance. No-load engine speeds should be kept under 1,200 rpm during the warm-up period, especially in cold ambient temperature conditions.
NOTE: An optional driver-contr olled high idle speed is available on automatic transmission equipped vehicles with speed control. This featur e allows the driver to select an elevated idle speed between 1 100 and 1500 rpms. Y our dealer can enable this feature.
Stopping The Engine Idle the engine a few minutes before r outine shutdown. After full load operation, idle the engine 3 to 5 minutes before shutting it down. This idle period will allow the lubricating oil and coolant to carry excess heat away from the combustion chamber , bearings, internal components, and turbocharger .
Engine Speed Control CAUTION! Prevent overspeeding the engine going down hill. When descending steep grades, use a combination of gears and service brakes to control vehicle/engine speed.
• Up Steep Hills — select a lower transmission gear , but try and keep the torque converter clutch engaged. • Air Conditioning — turn it off temporarily . Do Not Operate The Engine W ith Low Oil Pressure When the engine is at normal operating temperature, the minimum oil pressur es required ar e: Idle 700 to 800 RPM .
DIESEL EXHAUST BRAKE (ENGINE BRAKING) – IF EQUIPPED The exhaust brake feature will only function when the driver turns the exhaust brake switch to the ON position.
W ARNING! Do not use the Exhaust Brake feature when driving in icy or slippery conditions as the increased engine braking can cause the rear wheels to slide and the vehicle to swing around with the possible loss of vehicle control, which may cause an accident possi- bly resulting in personal injury or death.
TRANSMISSION SHIFTING Automatic T ransmission with Overdrive (68RFE) — If Equipped The gear selector lever display located in the instrument panel cluster indicates the transmission gear range (the selector is illuminated for night driving). The selector lever is mounted on the right side of the steering column.
W ARNING! Y our vehicle could move and injure you and others if it is not completely in P ARK. Check by trying to move the shift lever back and forth without first pulling it toward you after you have set it in P ARK. Make sure it is in P ARK before leaving the vehicle.
Upshifts into both overdrive gears, 5th and 6th, will be delayed when the transmission fluid temperature is below 40° F (4.5° C) or above 240° F (1 15.5° C). NOTE: Use caution when operating a heavily loaded vehicle in 2nd or 1st gear in high ambients as torque converter slip can impose significant additional heat load on the cooling system.
NOTE: If the vehicle is started in extremely cold tem- peratures, the transmission may not shift into Over drive and will automatically select the most desirable gear for operation at this temperature. Normal operation will resume when the transmission fluid temperatur e has risen to a suitable level.
delayed. Shifts into 5th and 6th gear are still allowed under steady cruise conditions. Closed thr ottle down- shifts (for improved engine braking) may occur during steady braking maneuvers. Pressing the switch a second time restor es normal operation.
NOTE: T o select the proper gear position for maximum deceleration (engine braking), simply press and hold the switch down (-). The transmission will shift to the range from which the vehicle can best be slowed down. T orque Converter Clutch A feature designed to improve fuel economy has been included in the automatic transmission on your vehicle.
MANUAL TRANSMISSION W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended without having the parking brake fully applied. The parking brake should al- ways be applied when the driver is not in the vehicle, especially on an incline.
T ruck models with manual transmission are equipped with a clutch interlocking ignition system. The clutch pedal must be fully depressed to start the vehicle. Fully depress the clutch pedal befor e shifting gears. As you release the clutch pedal, lightly depr ess the accelera- tor pedal.
Downshifting Moving from a high gear down to a lower gear is recommended to pr eserve brakes when driving down steep hills. In addition, downshifting at the right time provides better acceleration when you desir e to resume speed. Downshift progr essively .
Maximum Recommended Downshifting Speeds Gear Selec- tion 6t o5 5t o4 4t o3 3t o2 2t oL Maxi- mum Speed 68 mph (109 km/h) 50 mph (80 km/h) 32 mph (51 km/h) 19 mph (31 km/h) 10 mph (16 km/h) Reverse Shifting T o shift into REVERSE (R), bring the vehicle to a com- plete stop.
This transfer case is intended to be driven in the 2-wheel drive position (2H) for normal street and highway con- ditions such as dry hard surfaced r oads.
NOTE: Delayed shifts out of four-wheel drive may be experienced due to uneven tire wear , low or uneven tire pressur es, excessive vehicle loading, or cold tempera- tures. W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the NEUTRAL position without first fully engaging the parking brake.

vehicle in motion, the transfer case will engage/ disengage faster if you momentarily release the accelera- tor pedal after completing the shift. Apply a constant force when shifting the transfer case lever .
Electronically Shifted T ransfer Case Operating Information/Precautions (4 Position Switch) — If Equipped This is an electric shift transfer case and is operated by the 4WD Control Switch (T ransfer Case Switch), which is located on the instrument panel.
in the 4WD LOCK and 4WD LOW positions on dry hard surfaced roads may cause incr eased tire wear and dam- age to the driveline components. NOTE: The transfer case NEUTRAL position is selected by depressing the r ecessed button located on the lower left hand corner of the 4WD Control Switch.
If One or More Shift Conditions Are Not Met: 1. The indicator light for the current position will remain ON. 2. The newly selected position indicator light will con- tinue to flash.
When operating your vehicle in 4WD LOW , the engine speed is approximately thr ee times that of the 2WD or 4WD LOCK positions at a given road speed. T ake care not to overspeed the engine and do not exceed 25 mph (40 km/h). Proper operation of 4-wheel drive vehicles depends on tires of equal size, type and cir cumference on each wheel.
4WD LOCK 4-Wheel Drive Lock Range - Locks the front and r ear driveshafts together . Forces the front and r ear wheels to rotate at the same speed. Additional traction for loose, slippery road surfaces only . 4WD LOW 4-Wheel Drive Low Range - Low speed 4-wheel drive.
light will continue to flash until all the requir ements for the selected position have been met. T o retry a shift: return the contr ol knob back to the original position, make certain all shift requir ements have been met, wait five seconds and try the shift again.
Preferred Procedure 1. W ith engine running, slow vehicle to 2 to 3 mph (3 to 5 km/h). 2. Shift the transmission into NEUTRAL (depr ess clutch on manual transmissions). 3. While still rolling, rotate the transfer case contr ol switch to the desired position.
LIMITED-SLIP DIFFERENTIAL — IF EQUIPPED The limited-slip differ ential provides additional traction on snow , ice, mud, sand and gravel, particularly when there is a dif ference between the traction characteristics of the surface under the right and left rear wheels.
DRIVING ON SLIPPER Y SURF ACES When driving on wet or slushy roads, it is possible for a wedge of water to build up between the tire and r oad surface. This is known as hydroplaning and may cause partial or complete loss of vehicle control and stopping ability .
Shallow Standing W ater Although your vehicle is capable of driving through shallow standing water , consider the following Caution and W arning before doing so.
W ARNING! • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s traction capabilities. Do not exceed 5 mph (8 km/h) when driving through standing water . • Driving through standing water limits your vehi- cle’ s braking capabilities, which increases stop- ping distances.
NOTE: After off-r oad usage, particularly in sand or mud, inspect the underside of the vehicle for accumu- lated dirt at the propeller shaft, axles, U-joints, brake rotors and calipers. Use a hose to clean off any accumulation of dirt or mud. Check the exhaust system and all exposed components for any sign of damage.
Be sure the parking brake is firmly set when parked and the shift lever is in the P ARK position. When parking on a hill you should apply the parking brake before placing the shift lever in P ARK, otherwise the load on the transmission locking mechanism may make it difficult to move the shift lever out of P ARK.
When parking on a hill, turn the front wheels towar d the curb on a downhill grade and away from the curb on an uphill grade. The parking brake should always be applied whenever the driver is not in the vehicle.
Four-Wheel Anti-Lock Brake System W ARNING! Anti-Lock Brake Systems contain sophisticated elec- tronic equipment. It may be susceptible to interfer- ence caused by improperly installed or high output radio transmitting equipment. This interference can cause possible loss of anti-lock braking capability .
This Anti-lock Brake System is designed to aid the driver in maintaining vehicle control under adverse braking conditions. The system operates with a separate com- puter to modulate hydraulic pressur e to prevent wheel lockup and help avoid skidding on slippery surfaces.
POWER STEERING The standard power steering system will give you good vehicle response and incr eased ease of maneuverability in tight spaces. The system will provide mechanical steering capability if power assist is lost. If for some reason the power assist is interr upted, it will still be possible to steer your vehicle.
TIRE SAFETY INFORMA TION Tire Markings NOTE: • P (Passenger)-Metric tir e sizing is based on U.S. design standards. P-Metric tir es have the letter “P” molded into the sidewall preceding the size designation. Ex- ample: P215/65R15 95H. • European Metric tir e sizing is based on European design standards.

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 ca.
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 the 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 pressure is listed on either the face of the driver’s door or the driver’s side B-Pillar .
Loading The vehicle maximum load on the tire must not exceed the load carrying capacity of the tire on your vehicle. Y ou will not exceed the tire’s load carrying capacity if you adhere to the loadi.
available cargo and luggage load capacity is 650 lbs (295 kg) {(since 5 x 150 = 750, and 1400 – 750 = 650 lbs (295 kg)}. 5. Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being loaded on the vehicle. That weight may not safely exceed the available cargo and luggage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
ST ARTING AND OPERA TING 323 5.
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. Under-inflation also increases tire r olling resistance and results in higher fuel consump- tion.
check tire pr essure. Do not make a visual judgement when determining proper inflation. Radial tir es may look properly inflated even when they ar e under-inflated. CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure, al- ways reinstall the valve stem cap (if equipped).
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 pressure 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 replaced) and r ein- stalled at the first opportunity .
original equipped tire on the fr ont or rear axle of your vehicle, but it is not. Installation of this limited-use spare tire af fects vehicle handling. Since it is not the same tire, replace (or r epair) the original tire and reinstall on the vehicle at the first opportunity .
T read Wear Indicators T read wear indicators ar e in the original equipment tires to help you in determining when your tires should be replaced. These indicators are molded into the bottom of the tr ead grooves. They will appear as bands when the tr ead depth becomes 1/16 in (2 mm).
W ARNING! T ires and the spare tire should be replaced after six years, regardless of the remaining tread. Failure to follow this warning can result in sudden tire failure. Y ou could lose control and have an accident resulting in serious injury or death.
W ARNING! • Do not use a tire, wheel size or rating other than that specified for your vehicle. Some combinations of unapproved tires and wheels may change suspension dimensions and performance characteristics, result- ing in changes to steering, handling, and braking of your vehicle.
Improper alignment will not cause vehicle vibration. V ibration may be a result of tir e 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 r ear tires of Ram 4X2 trucks. NOTE: The use of class “U” chains is permitted on the front and r ear of 4X4, 2500 Ram T rucks with L T245/ 70R17E tires.
SNOW TIRES Snow tires should be of the same size and type constr uc- tion as the front tir es. Consult the manufacturer of the snow tire to determine any maximum vehicle speed requir ement associated with the tire. These tires should always be operated at the vehicle maximum capacity inflation pressur es under any load condition.
Follow the recommended tir e rotation frequency for your type of driving found in the “Maintenance Schedules” Section of this manual. More fr equent rotation is permis- sible if desired. The r easons for any rapid or unusual wear should be corrected prior to r otation being per- formed.
Dual Rear Wheels The tires used on dual wheel assemblies should be matched for wear to prevent overloading one tir e in a set. T o check if tires ar e even, lay a straight edge across all four tires. The straight edge should touch all the tir es. CAUTION! 3500 Dual Rear T ires have only one approved direc- tion of rotation.
TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) — IF EQUIPPED The T ire Pr essure Monitoring System (TPMS) will warn the driver of a low tire pr essure based on the vehicle recommended cold tir e inflation placard pressur e. The placard pr essure is defined on the T ire and Loading Information label.
The TPM System will continue to warn the driver of low tire pr essure as long as the condition exists, and will not turn off until the tir e pressure is at or above r ecom- mended cold placard pr essure.
CAUTION! After inspecting or adjusting the tire pressure always reinstall the valve stem cap. This will prevent mois- ture and dirt from entering the valve stem, which could damage the T ire Pressure Monitoring Sensor .
Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) “Light Load” Reset Switch Description – If Equipped W ARNING! Never operate your vehicle with the TPMS and tire pressures set to the Light Load Inflation Pressure settings if carrying more than two occupants (150 lbs each) plus 200 pounds of cargo.
“Light Load” Reset Switch Operation – If Equipped • This vehicle may have differ ent recommended tire pressur e values between the front and rear tir es as shown in both the T ire Loading Information Label and the Supplemental T ire Pr essure Information Label.
T o switch from the max load inflation pr essure (cold) low pressur e warning threshold to the light load inflation pressur e (cold) low pressure warning thr eshold, begin by placing the ignition switch in the RUN position.
W ARNING! It is the driver ’ s responsibility to change to the max load inflation pressure (cold) low pressure warning threshold condition when not driving in the light load condition as defined as two occupants ( 150 lbs each) plus 200 pounds of cargo.
NOTE: It is particularly important, for you to check the tire pr essure in all of your tires r egularly and to maintain the proper pr essure. The T ire Pr essure Monitoring System (TPMS) consists of t.
the ignition key is cycled, this sequence will repeat, providing the system fault still exists. A system fault can occur by any of the following scenarios: 1. Signal interference due to electronic devices or driving next to facilities emitting the same Radio Frequencies as the TPM sensors.
Light will turn OFF , as long as no tire pr essure is below the low-pressur e warning limit in any of the four active road tir es. The vehicle may need to be driven for up to 10 minutes above 15 mph (25 km/h) in order for the TPMS to receive this information.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS Fuel Requirements (6.7L Diesel Engines) Use good quality diesel fuel from a r eputable supplier in your vehicle. Federal law requir es that you must fuel this vehicle with Ultra Low .
Fuel Specifications The Cummins T urbocharged, Char ge Air Cooled, Diesel engine has been developed to take advantage of the high energy content and generally lower cost No. 2 Ultra Low Sulfur diesel fuel or No. 2 Ultra Low Sulfur climatized diesel fuels.
W ARNING! A fire may result if fuel is pumped into a portable container that is on a truck bed. Y ou could be burned. Always place fuel containers on the ground while filling. Fuel Filler Cap (Gas Cap) The gas cap is behind the fuel filler door . If the gas cap is lost or damaged, be sure the r eplacement cap is for use with this vehicle.
A void Using Contaminated Fuel Fuel that is contaminated by water or dirt can cause severe damage to the engine fuel system. Pr oper main- tenance of the engine fuel filter and fuel tank is essential.
2. Crank the engine for 1 to 2 seconds. If the engine does not start, then release the key or starter button back to the RUN position (do not turn the key back to the OFF position). The electric fuel transfer pump will continue to run and pur ge air from the system for about 20 seconds.
Gross V ehicle W eight Rating (GVWR) The GVWR is the total permissible weight of your vehicle including driver , passengers, vehicle, options and cargo. The label also specifies maximum capacities of front and rear axle systems (GA WR). T otal load must be limited so GVWR and front and r ear GA WR are not exceeded.
Curb W eight The curb weight of a vehicle is defined as the total weight of the vehicle with all fluids, including vehicle fuel, at full capacity conditions, and with no occupants or cargo loaded into the vehicle.
An EXAMPLE of a loaded vehicle is shown in the following chart. Note that neither GVWR nor GA WR capabilities are exceeded. Overloading can cause poten- tial safety hazards and shorten service life. NOTE: The weights shown in this chart are not necessarily the weights for your vehicle.
TRAILER TOWING In this section you will find safety tips and information on limits to the type of towing you can reasonably do with your vehicle. Before towing a trailer car efully re- view this information to tow your load as efficiently and safely as possible.
Gross Axle W eight Rating (GA WR) The GA WR is the maximum capacity of the front and rear axles. Distribute the load over the front and r ear axles evenly . Make sure that you do not exceed either front or rear GA WR. W ARNING! It is important that you do not exceed the maximum front or rear GA WR.
W eight-Distributing Hitch A weight-distributing system works by applying lever- age through spring (load) bars. They ar e typically used for heavier loads, to distribute trailer tongue weight to the tow vehicle’s front axle and the trailer axle(s).

SNOWPLOW Snowplow Prep Packages ar e available as a factory installed option. These packages include components necessary to equip your vehicle with a snowplow .
Before plowing • Check the hydraulic system for leaks and proper fluid level. • Check the mounting bolts and nuts for proper tight- ness. • Check the runners and cutting edge for excessive wear . The cutting edge should be 1/4 to 1/2 inch above ground in snow plowing position.
of the plow . Front end tow-in should be checked and reset if necessary at the beginning and end of the snowplow season. This will help prevent uneven tir e wear .
NOTE: During snowplow usage on vehicles equipped with an overhead console module, the outside tempera- ture display will show higher temperatur es than the outside ambient temperature. The higher displayed tem- perature is due to blocked or r educed airflow to the underhood ambient temperatur e sensor by the snow- plow .
RECREA TIONAL TOWING (BEHIND MOTORHOME, ETC.) CAUTION! Front or rear wheel lifts should not be used. Internal damage to the transmission or transfer case will occur if a front or rear wheel lift is used when recreational towing. Recreational T owing – 2-Wheel Drive Models Recreational towing of 2-Wheel Drive models is not allowed.
Recreational T owing Procedure — Manual Shift T ransfer Case — If Equipped Use the following procedur e to prepare your vehicle for recr eational towing: CAUTION! It is necessary to follow these steps to be certain that the transfer case is fully in NEUTRAL before recre- ational towing to prevent damage to internal parts.
CAUTION! Damage to the automatic transmission may occur if the transmission is shifted into P ARK with the trans- fer case in NEUTRAL and the engine running. W ith the transfer case in NEUTRAL ensure that the engine is OFF prior to shifting the transmission into P ARK.
CAUTION! • Do not use a bumper-mounted clamp-on tow bar on your vehicle. The bumper face bar will be damaged. • Do not disconnect the rear driveshaft because fluid will leak from the transfer case and damage the internal parts.
7. After shift is completed and the NEUTRAL light comes on, release the NEUTRAL button. 8. Start engine. 9. Shift automatic transmission into REVERSE. 10. Release brake pedal for five seconds and ensure that there is no vehicle movement. 1 1. Repeat steps 9 and 10 with the transmission in DRIVE.
CAUTION! Damage to the transmission may occur if the trans- mission is shifted into P ARK with the transfer case in NEUTRAL and the engine running. W ith the transfer case in NEUTRAL ensure, that the engine is OFF prior to shifting the transmission into P ARK.
NOTE: Steps 1 through 5 ar e requirements that must be met prior to depressing the transfer case Neutral (N) button, and must continue to be met until one second elapses and the shift has been completed.
W ARNING! Y ou or others could be injured if you leave the vehicle unattended with the transfer case in the NEUTRAL position without first fully engaging the parking brake. The transfer case NEUTRAL position disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and will allow the vehicle to move despite the transmission position.

JACKING AND TIRE CHANGING W ARNING! • Being under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you. Y ou could be crushed. Never put 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.
W ARNING! After using the jack and tools, always reinstall them in the original carrier and location. While driving you may experience, abrupt stopping, rapid accelera- tion, or sharp turns. A loose jack, tools, bracket or other objects in the vehicle may move around with force, resulting in serious injury .
NOTE: The winch mechanism is designed for use with the jack extension tube only . Use of an air wrench or other power tools is not recommended and can damage the winch. Tire Changing Procedure W ARNING! Getting under a jacked-up vehicle is dangerous. The vehicle could slip off the jack and fall on you.
• 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. 3. For 2500/3500 4x2 series trucks, when changing a front wheel, place the bottle jack under the frame rail behind the wheel.
NOTE: If the jack will not lower by turning the dial (thumbwheel) by hand, it may be necessary to use the jack drive tube in order to lower the jack. 4X2 Jacking 390 WHA T TO DO IN EMERGENCIES.
4. By rotating the wheel wrench clockwise, raise the vehicle until the wheel just clears the surface. W ARNING! Raising the vehicle higher than necessary can make the vehicle unstable and cause an accident. It could slip off the jack and hurt someone near it.

On 3500 models with dual rear wheels (DR W), you must first remove the hub caps. The jack handle driver has a hook at one end that will fit in the pry off notch of the rear hub caps. Position the hook and pull out on the ratchet firmly . The hub cap should pop off.
8-Stud — Dual Rear Wheels Dual wheels are flat mounted, center piloted. The lug nuts are a two piece assembly . When the tires ar e being rotated or r eplaced, clean these lug nuts and add two drops of oil at the interface between the hex and the washer .
These dual rear wheels should be tightened as follows: 1. T ighten the wheel nuts in the numbered sequence to a snug fit. 2. Retighten the wheel nuts in the same sequence to the torques listed in the table. Go thr ough the sequence a second time to verify that specific torque has been achieved.
tightened to recommended tor que. T ighten the nuts to final torque in incr ements. Progress ar ound the bolt circle, tightening the nut opposite to the nut just pr evi- ously tightened until final torque is achieved. Recom- mended torques ar e shown in the following chart.
JUMP-ST ARTING W ARNING! T o prevent personal injury or damage to clothing, do not allow battery fluid to contact eyes, skin or fabrics. Do not lean over a battery when connecting jumper cables or allow cable clamps to touch each other . Keep open flames or sparks away from battery vent holes.
CAUTION! Use the Jump-Start Procedure only when the charge indicator (if equipped) in both batteries is dark in the center . Do not attempt jump-starting when either battery charge indicator (if equipped) is bright or yellow .
2. Connect one end of the other jumper cable to negative (-) post of booster battery . Connect the other end of the jumper cable to a good ground on the engine block of the vehicle with the discharged battery . Make sure a good connection is made, free of dirt and gr ease.
W ARNING! Any procedure other than above could result in: 1. Personal injury caused by electrolyte squirting out the battery vent; 2. Personal injury or property damage due to battery explosion; 3. Damage to charging system of booster vehicle or of immobilized vehicle.
In general, the least amount of accelerator pedal pressur e to maintain the rocking motion without spinning the wheels or racing the engine, is most effective. Racing the engine or spinning the wheels, due to the frustration of not freeing the vehicle, may lead to transmission over - heating and failure.
CAUTION! T ow hooks are for emergency use only , to rescue a vehicle stranded off-road. Do not use tow hooks for tow truck hookup or highway towing. Y ou could damage your vehicle. TOWING A DISABLED VEHICLE Proper towing or lifting equipment is r equired to prevent damage to your vehicle.

ENGINE COMP ARTMENT — 6.7L DIESEL ENGINE 408 MAINT AINING YOUR VEHICLE.
ONBOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM (OBD II) V ehicles equipped with California emissions controls have a sophisticated onboard diagnostic system called OBDII. This system monitors the performance of the emissions, engine, and automatic transmission control systems.
ENGINE DA T A PLA TE Use the information from the engine data plate when discussing service or sourcing parts for your engine. The engine data plate is located on the intake side of the breather cover .
CAUTION! T o maintain your vehicle safely follow these guide- lines: • W atch your vehicle’s mileage and check your Maintenance Schedules regularly for required ser- vicing. Excessive wear or damage to certain vehicle components can result if required services are not performed.
W ARNING! T o maintain your vehicle safely and avoid personal injury , follow these guidelines: • Never spray or pour diesel fuel, flammable liquid or starting fluids (ether) into the air cleaner assembly , air intake piping or turbocharger inlet in an attempt to start the vehicle, unintended engine acceleration may occur .
Engine Oil Checking Oil Level T o assure pr oper lubrication of your vehicle’s engine, the engine oil must be maintained at the correct level. Check the oil level at regular intervals. The best time to check the oil level is before starting the engine after it has been parked overnight.
Never operate the engine with oil level below the “ADD” mark or above the upper “SAFE” mark. Change Engine Oil (6.7L Diesel Engine) Follow the 6.7L Diesel Maintenance Schedule for recom- mended engine oil change intervals. Engine Oil Selection (6.
Engine Oil V iscosity (SAE Grade) Use SAE 15W -40 Engine Oil that meets DaimlerChrysler Materials Standard MS-10902 and the API CJ-4 engine oil category . Engine oil not designated by the DaimlerChrysler or Cummins t Material Standards and API CJ-4 should not be used, engine and exhaust system durability may be compromised.
Engine Oil Filter Refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for the correct part number . The engine oil filter should be changed at every engine oil change. Engine Oil And Filter — Change Operate the engine until the coolant temperature r eaches 140°F (60°C).
CAUTION! Fill the oil filter element with clean oil before instal- lation. Use the same type oil that will be used in the engine. When filling the oil filter , prevent foreign material from falling into the filter .
Start the engine and operate it at idle for several minutes. Check for leaks at the lubricating oil filter and oil pan drain plug. Run the engine until it has reached operating tempera- ture, stop the engine. W ait approximately 15 minutes to let the oil in the upper parts of the engine drain back to the pan.
Engine Air Cleaner Filter (6.7L Diesel Engines) CAUTION! All air entering the engine intake must be filtered. The abrasive particles in unfiltered air will cause rapid wear to engine components. The condition of the air cleaner filter is monitored by the Engine Control Module.
If the vehicle experiences a sudden loss of engine power when being driven in heavy snow , rain or when plowing snow , and the EVIC message center states SER VICE AIR FIL TER or the Filter Minder™ (if equipped) is showing a plugged filter , then visually inspect the air filter for snow/ice build up or extreme water saturation.
The clear plastic housing on the Filter Minder™ (If Equipped), allows you to view the amount of air pressur e drop acr oss the filter element. It consists of a diaphragm and a calibrated spring sealed inside the plastic housing.
Draining Fuel/W ater Separator Filter (6.7L Diesel Engine) CAUTION! Do not drain the fuel/water separator filter when the engine is running. CAUTION! Do not prefill the fuel filter when installing a new fuel filter . There is a possibility that debris could be introduced into the fuel filter during this action.
If the W A TER IN FUEL LIGHT comes on and a single chime is heard while you ar e driving, or with the key in the ON position, there may be a pr oblem with your water separator wiring or sensor .
W ARNING! Do not open the high pressure fuel system with the engine running. Engine operation causes high fuel pressure. High pressure fuel spray can cause serious injury or death. Priming if the engine has run out of fuel 1. Add a substantial quantity of fuel to the tank, approxi- mately 5 to 10 gallons (19L to 38L).
W ARNING! Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending agent. They can be unstable under certain conditions and be hazardous or explosive when mixed with diesel fuel. CAUTION! Due to lack of lubricants in alcohol or gasoline, the use of these fuels can cause damage to the fuel system.
T o achieve these emission standards, your vehicle is equipped with a state of the art engine and exhaust system. The engine and exhaust aftertreatment system work together to achieve the EP A Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Emissions Standards. These systems ar e seam- lessly integrated into your vehicle and managed by the Cummins t 6.
located on the top of the engine valve cover . For addi- tional information, see your local authorized dealer . Catalyst Full See Owner Manual “Catalyst Full See Owner Manual” will be displayed on the overhead console of your vehicle if the exhaust particulate filter reaches 80% of its maximum storage capacity .
CA T AL YST FULL SER VICE REQD If the particulate filter reaches 99% of its capacity , the overhead console in your vehicle will chime twice and display the message CA T AL YST FULL SER VICE REQD.
W ARNING! • Battery fluid is a corrosive acid solution and can burn or even blind you. Don’t allow battery fluid to contact your eyes, skin or clothing. Don’t lean over a battery when attaching clamps. If acid splashes in eyes or on skin, flush the area imme- diately with large amounts of water .
Battery Blanket Usage A battery loses 60% of its cranking power as the battery temperature decr eases to 0°F (-18°C). For the same de- crease in temperatur e, the engine requires twice as much power to crank at the same RPM. The use of 120 V AC powered battery blankets will gr eatly increase starting capability at low temperatures.
NOTE: Use only manufacturer appr oved A/C System Sealers, Stop Leak Products, Seal Conditioners, Compr es- sor Oil, or Refrigerants. Refrigerant Recovery and Recycling R-134a Air Conditioning Refrigerant is a hydrofluorocar - bon (HFC) that is endorsed by the Environmental Pr o- tection Agency and is an ozone-saving product.
Steering Linkage — Inspection Whenever the vehicle is hoisted all steering linkage joints should be inspected for evidence of damage. If seals are damaged, parts should be replaced to pr event leakage or contamination of the grease.
Body Lubrication Locks and all body pivot points, including such items as seat tracks, doors, liftgate, tailgate, sliding doors and hood hinges should be lubricated periodically to assure quiet, easy operation and to protect against r ust and wear .
Windshield W ashers The fluid reservoir is located under the hood and should be checked for fluid level at regular intervals. Fill the reservoir with windshield washer solvent only (not ra- diator antifreeze). When r efilling the washer fluid reser- voir , take some washer fluid and apply it to a cloth or towel and wipe the wiper blades clean.
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 W ARNING! Y ou or others can be badly burned by hot coolant or steam from your radiator . If you see or hear steam coming from under the hood, don’t open the hood until the radiator has had time to cool. Never try to open a cooling system pressure cap when the radiator is hot.
Coolant bottle level check The coolant reserve system pr ovides a quick visual method of determining that the coolant level is adequate. W ith the engine idling and warmed to the normal operating temperature, the level of the coolant on the coolant bottle should be between the fluid level marks.
CAUTION! The manufacturer highly recommends that all cool- ing system service, maintenance, and repairs be per- formed by your local authorized dealer . If the solution is dirty or contains a considerable amount of sediment, clean and flush with a reliable cooling system cleaner .
Adding Coolant Y our vehicle has been built with an improved engine coolant that allows extended maintenance intervals. This coolant can be used up to 5 Y ears or 100,000 miles (160 000 km) before r eplacement. T o prevent reducing this extended maintenance period, it is important that you use the same coolant throughout the life of your vehicle.
The cap should be inspected and cleaned if there is any accumulation of foreign material on the sealing surfaces. W ARNING! • The warning words “DO NOT OPEN HOT” on the cooling system pressure cap are a safety pre- caution. Never add coolant when the engine is overheated.
The radiator normally remains completely full, so ther e is no need to remove the radiator cap unless checking for coolant freeze point or r eplacing coolant. Advise your service attendant of this. As long as the engine operating temperature is satisfactory , the coolant bottle need only be checked once a month.
• Make sure that the radiator and coolant r ecovery bottle overflow hoses are not kinked or obstr ucted. • Keep the front of the radiator clean. If your vehicle is equipped with air conditioning, keep the front of the condenser clean also. • Do not change the thermostat for summer or winter operation.
T o guarantee optimum performance of the system, keep the surfaces of the charge air cooler , condenser and radiator clean and free of debris. Periodically check the hoses leading to and from the char ge air cooler for cracks or loose clamps resulting in loss of pr essure and reduced engine performance.
Brake Master Cylinder The fluid level of the master cylinder should be checked when performing under the hood service, or immedi- ately if the brake system warning lamp indicates system failure. The brake master cylinder has a translucent plastic reservoir .
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.
Rear Axle And 4x4 Front Driving Axle Fluid Level For Model 9.25 Front Axles and 10.5”/1 1.5” Rear Axles refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for the correct lubricant type. For normal service, periodic fluid level checks are not r equired.
Drain And Refill Follow the Maintenance Schedule for recommended transfer case fluid change intervals. Lubricant Selection Refer to Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts for the correct lubricant type. Manual T ransmission — If Equipped Fluid Level Check This fluid level can be checked by removing the filler plug.
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.
5. Remove the dipstick, wipe it clean and reinsert it until seated. 6. Remove the dipstick again and note the fluid level on both sides. The fluid level should be between the “HOT” (upper) refer ence holes on the dipstick at normal operat- ing temperature.
Automatic T ransmission Fluid and Filter Change T o obtain best performance and long life for automatic transmissions, the manufacturer r ecommends that they be given regular maintenance service by an authorized dealer or Service Center .
Rear Wheel Bearings Clean and repack when brake linings ar e replaced or rotors r esurfaced. Noise Control System Required Maintenance & W arranty For 3500 T wo-Wheel Drive and Four-Wheel Drive mod- els over 10,000 lbs. (4 535 kg) Gross V ehicle W eight Rating.
Required Maintenance For Noise Control Systems The following maintenance services must be performed every 6 months or 6,000 miles (9 600 km), whichever comes first, to assure pr oper operation of the noise control systems. In addition, inspection and service should be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected.
