If it becomes necessary to use a booster battery and
jumper cables to start an engine, use the following procedure.
J9200-86

(1) Engage the parking brake. Shift the automatic
transmission to PARK (if a manual transmission, shift to NEUTRAL).
(2) Turn off all lights, and all other electrical

loads.

(3)
Observe the battery condition indicator (Fig. 5).
If the battery condition indicator is light/bright col­
ored (or yellow), replace the battery. Do not attempt
to jump start an engine when the condition indi­
cator is light/bright colored (or yellow). If the
condition indicator is dark in the center (but without a green dot), proceed with connecting the jumper ca­

bles.

WARNING:
THE

This
could
establish

In
addition
it

(5) Connect a black jumper cable connector clamp
to the negative (-) terminal on the booster battery. Connect the other black jumper cable connector
clamp to a good ground source on the engine that is
to be started (Fig. 7).
Verify the engine ground (negative) contact
surface area is free of grease. Make sure there is
a good connection to bare metal. The engine
ground (negative) connection must provide good
electrical continuity.
(6) Start the engine.

must be disconnected in the following order:
• Black (negative) cable connector clamp from the
engine ground contact • Black (negative) cable connector clamp from the
negative terminal (-) on the booster battery
• Red (positive) cable connector clamps from the pos­ itive

LIFTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Refer to the Owner's Manual for emergency vehicle
lifting procedures.
FLOOR JACK When properly positioned, a floor jack can be used
to lift a vehicle (Fig. 8). Support the vehicle in the
raised position with jack stands at the front and rear ends of the frame rails.

CAUTION:
Do not
attempt
to lift a
vehicle with

• A twin-post, chassis hoist
• A ramp-type, drive-on hoist
When a frame-contact type hoist is used, verify
that the lifting pads are positioned properly (Fig. 8).

When a twin-post hoist is used, a 4 x 4 x 12-inch
wood spacer also could be required. Place the wood spacer under the front axle (opposite the differential
housing). This will maintain balance and level lift­ ing.

VEHICLE
TOWING
RECOMMENDATIONS
When it is necessary to tow a Ram Truck, the rec­
ommended method is either:
• the sling-type, rear-end raised towing method; or
• the wheel-lift towing method with a tow dolly lo­
cated under the front wheels. A vehicle with flat-bed hauling equipment can also
be used to transport a disabled vehicle.

ENGINE BREAK-IN
After first starting a new engine, allow it to idle
for 15 seconds before shifting into a drive gear. Also:
• Drive the vehicle at varying speeds less than 88
km/h (55 mph) for the first 480 km (300 miles).
• Avoid fast acceleration and sudden stops.
• Do not drive at full-throttle for extended periods of
time
• Do not drive at constant speeds
• Do not idle the engine excessively A special break-in engine oil is not required. The
original engine oil installed is a high quality lubri­
cant. New engines tend to consume more fuel and oil un­
til after the break-in period has ended.

ENGINE
OIL SPECIFICATIONS

API SERWICE
GRADE
Use an engine oil that conforms to API Service
Grade S5 SG/CD or SG/CE. MOPAR®provides engine
oils that conform to all of these service grades.

SULFATED ASH—DIESEL ENGINES
Oils that contain an excessive amount of sulfated
ash can cause deposits to develop on Diesel engine
valves. These deposits can result in valve wear.

SAE
WISC0SITY
An SAE viscosity grade is used to specify the vis­
cosity of engine oil. SAE 30 specifies a single viscos­
ity engine oil.
Engine oils also have multiple viscosities. 10W-30

To maintain proper lubrication of an engine, the
engine oil must be maintained at an acceptable level.
For gasoline engines, the acceptable levels are indi­ cated between the ADD and
FULL
marks on oil
dip­
stick. For Diesel engines, the acceptable levels are
indicated between the L (low) and H
(high) marks
on
oil dipstick. The oil level should be checked periodically. The
vehicle should be on a level surface. Wait for
five
minutes after stopping the engine. For gasoline en­
gines,
add oil only when the level indicated on the
dipstick is at or below the ADD mark. For Diesel en­
gines,
add oil only when the level indicated on the
dipstick is between the L and H marks.
Never oper­
ate a Diesel
engine when
the oil
level
is below
the L mark. The distance between the L and H
marks represents 1.9L (2 Qts) engine oil.

CAUTION:
Do not
overfill
an
engine crankcase
with

oil. This
will
cause
oil
aeration
and
result
in a de­

crease
in the
engine
oil
pressure.

ENGINE
OIL
FILTER

All engines are equipped with a throw-away type
oil filter. The same type of filter is recommended
when the filter is changed.

OIL CHANGE
AND
FILTER
REPLACEMENT
Bring engine up to normal operating temperature.
A more complete drainage of oil will result.
(1) Remove the drain hole plug and drain the en­
gine oil from the crankcase.
(2) Install the drain hole plug with a replacement
gasket. For gasoline engines, the oil filter should be
replaced during every second engine oil change.
For Diesel engines, the oil filter should be re­
placed during every engine oil change.
(3) Rotate the oil filter counterclockwise to remove
it.
(4) Clean the engine cylinder block oil filter boss. (5) Apply a light coat of new engine oil to the rub­
ber seal on the oil filter.
(6) Install and hand tighten the oil filter 1/2 to 3/4
of a turn clockwise. (7) Add new engine oil at the fill hole location on
top of the engine cylinder head cover. Wipe off any spilled oil.
(8) Observe the oil level on the dipstick.

CAUTION:
Do not
overfill
the
engine crankcase
with

oil.
(9)
Start the engine. Observe the oil pressure
gauge or warning lamp (as applicable). If the oil
pressure does not increase, stop the engine immedi­ ately. Check oil level.

WARNING:
USE
EXTREME CAUTION WHEN
THE
ENGINE
IS
OPERATING.
DO NOT PUT
YOUR
HANDS NEAR
THE
DRIVE BELT(S), PULLEYS
OR
FAN BLADE.
DO NOT

IN A
DIRECT LINE
WITH
THE FAN
BLADE.

INSPECTION SCHEDULE
Determine the coolant level. Inspect the cooling
system hoses/clamps after each service interval has
elapsed.

COOLANT LEVEL
It is recommended that the engine coolant level be
inspected at least once a month during periods of hot
weather.
With the engine at normal operating temperature,
check the coolant level in the coolant reserve tank.
The coolant level must be at least above the ADD mark. Add coolant to the coolant reserve tank only.
