CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Before cleaning, note the valve number. Clean the
valve heads with a soft wire wheel. Mark the valve
with the numbet* noted above.
Polish the valve stems with crocus cloth.
Inspect for abnormal wear on the valve heads and
stems.
Replace badly worn valves. Check for bent valves. Replace bent valves.
Measure the valve stem diameter (Fig. 2). The
valve stem diameter should be 7.935-7.960 mm (0.3126-0.3134 inch). If out of limits, replace the
valve. Mark the new valves with the replacement lo cation. Ik 1

• Step 2-Tighten to 24 N*m (18 ft. lbs.) torque. (3) The back plate on the pump seats against the
bottom of the bore in the cylinder block. When the
pump is correctly installed, the flange on the pump will not touch the cylinder block.
(4) Measure the idler gear to pump drive gear
backlash and the idler gear to crankshaft gear back lash (Fig. 8). The backlash should be 0.080-0.330 mm (0.003-0.013 inch). If the backlash is out of limits, re
place the oil pump drive gear and the idler gear.
(5) If the adjoining gear moves when you measure
the backlash, the reading will be incorrect.

REMOVAL
WARNING:
HOT OIL CAN
CAUSE PERSONAL
IN
JURY.
(1) Operate the engine until the water tempera
ture reaches 60°C (140°F). Shut the engine off.
(2) Use a container that can hold at least 14 liters
(15 quarts) to hold the used oil. Remove the oil drain
plug and drain the used engine oil into the container.
(3) Always check the condition of the used oil. This
can give you an indication of some engine problems
that might exist. • Thin, black oil indicates fuel dilution.
• Milky discoloration indicates coolant dilution.
(4) Clean the area around the lubricating oil filter
head. Remove the filter using a 90-95 mm filter
wrench.
(5) Clean the gasket surface of the filter head. The
filter canister O-Ring seal can stick on the filter
head. Make sure it is removed.
INSTALLATION (1) Fill the oil filter element with clean oil before
installation. Use the same type oil that will be used
in the engine.
(2) Apply a light film of lubricating oil to the seal
ing surface before installing the filter.
CAUTION:
Mechanical over-tightening
may
distort
the threads
or
damage
the filter
element seal.
(3) Install the filter as specified by the filter man
ufacturer. (4) Clean the drain plug and the sealing surface of
the pan. Check the condition of the threads and seal ing surface on the oil pan and drain plug.
(5) Install the drain plug using a new sealing washer.
Tighten the plug to 80 N-m (60 ft. lbs.) torque.
(6) Use only High-Quality Multi-Viscosity lubricat
ing oil in the Cummins Turbo Diesel engine. Choose
the correct oil for the operating conditions outlined in Group 0, Lubrication and Maintenance.
(7) Fill the enginfe with the correct grade of new
oil.
The engine capacity is i0.4 liters (11 quarts) in
the crankcase and 0.95 liters (1 quart) in the lubri cating oil filter. (8) Start the engine and operate it at idle for several
minutes. Check for leaks at the filter and drain plug.
(9) Stop the engine. Wait approximately 5 minutes
to let the oil in the upper parts of the engine to drain
back to the oil pan. Check the oil level again. Add oil as necessary to bring the level to the "H" (High)
mark on the dipstick.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Throughout this group, references are made to par
ticular vehicle models by alphabetical designation or
by the particular vehicle nameplate. A chart showing a breakdown of the alphabetical designations is in
cluded in the Introduction section at the beginning of
this manual.
The 5.9L (V-8) gas powered engine will be referred
to in this group as either the: LDC (Light Duty Cy cle) or HDC (Heavy Duty Cycle) engine. The HDC engine can be easily identified by the use of an en
gine mounted air injection pump. The 3.9L/5.2L/5.9L
LDC engine will not use an air injection pump.
This Fuel System group will cover all fuel system
components for the 3.9L (V-6), 5.2L (V-8), 5.9L LDC
(V-8),
5.9L HDC (V-8) and 5.9L (in-line six cylinder)
diesel engines.
The Fuel System consists of: the fuel tank, an
electric (fuel tank mounted) fuel pump and fuel fil
ter. It also consists of fuel tubes/lines/hoses, vacuum
hoses,
throttle body and fuel injector(s).
The Fuel Delivery System consists of: the electric
fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel tubes/lines/hoses, fuel rail,
fuel injectors and fuel pressure regulator.
A Fuel Return System is used on all vehicles (all
engines) except the 5.9L (V-8) gas powered engine. On this engine, a returnless type fuel system is
used. The fuel return system consists of fuel tubes/
lines and hoses that route fuel back to the fuel tank.
The Fuel Tank Assembly consists of: the fuel
tank, filler tube, fuel gauge sending unit/electric fuel
pump module, a pressure relief/rollover valve and a
pressure-vacuum filler cap. Also to be considered part of the fuel system is the
Evaporation Control System. This is designed to
reduce the emission of fuel vapors into the atmo sphere. The description and function of the Evapora
tive Control System is found in Group 25, Emission Control Systems.
FUEL
USAGE
STATEMENT-GAS
ENGINES
Your vehicle was designed to meet all emission
regulations and provide excellent fuel economy using
high quality unleaded gasoline. Only use unleaded gasolines having a minimum posted octane of 87. If your vehicle develops occasional light spark
knock (ping) at low engine speeds, this is not harm
ful.
However, continued heavy knock at high speeds can cause damage and should be re
ported to your dealer immediately. Engine dam age as a result of heavy knock operation may not be
covered by the new vehicle warranty. In addition to using unleaded gasoline with the
proper octane rating, those that contain deter
gents,
corrosion and stability additives are rec
ommended. Using gasolines that have these additives will help improve fuel economy, reduce
emissions and maintain vehicle performance. Gener ally, premium unleaded gasolines contain more addi
tive than regular unleaded gasolines. Poor quality gasoline can cause problems such as
hard starting, stalling and stumble. If you experience
these problems, use another brand of gasoline before considering service for the vehicle.

FUEL SYSTEM
•
GASOLINE/OXYGENATE
BLENDS
Some fuel suppliers blend unleaded gasoline with
materials that contain oxygen such as alcohol, MTBE and ETBE. The type and amount of oxygenate used
in the blend is important. The following are gener
ally used in gasoline blends:
ETHANOL
Ethanol (Ethyl or Grain Alcohol) properly blended,
is used as a mixture of 10 percent ethanol and 90
percent gasoline. Gasoline with ethanol may be
used in your vehicle.
METHANOL
CAUTION:
DO NOT USE
GASOLINES CONTAINING
METHANOL.
Use of methanol/gasoline blends may re
sult in starting and driveability problems. In addition,
damage may be done to critical fuel system compo
nents.
Methanol (Methyl or Wood Alcohol) is used in a va
riety of concentrations blended with unleaded gaso
line.
You may encounter fuels containing 3 percent
or more methanol along with other alcohols called co-
solvents.
Problems that are the result of using methanol/gas
oline blends are not the responsibility of Chrysler Corporation. They may not be covered by the vehicle
warranty.
MTBE/ETBE
Gasoline and MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether)
blends are a mixture of unleaded gasoline and up to 15 percent
MTBE.
Gasoline and
ETBE
(Ethyl
Ter
tiary Butyl Ether) are blends of gasoline and up to 17 percent ETBE. Gasoline blended with MTBE or
ETBE may be used in your vehicle.
CLEAN
AIR GASOLINE Many gasolines are now being blended that con
tribute to cleaner air, especially in those areas of the
country where air pollution levels are high. These
new blends provide a cleaner burning fuel and some are referred to as Reformulated Gasoline.
In areas of the country where carbon monoxide lev
els are high, gasolines are being treated with oxy
genated materials such as MTBE, ETBE and ethanol.
Chrysler Corporation supports these efforts toward
cleaner air and recommends that you use these gas
olines as they become available.
FUEL
REQUIREMENTS-DIESEL ENGINE
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable sup
plier in your Chrysler Corporation vehicle. For most
year-round service, number 2 (two) diesel fuel meet ing ASTM specification D-975 will provide good per
formance. If the vehicle is exposed to extreme cold (below -18°C - 0°F), or for any reason is required to
operate at colder than normal conditions for pro longed periods, then dilution of the 2D fuel with 50
percent kerosine or number ID diesel fuel will pro
vide better protection from fuel gelling or wax-plug ging of the fuel filters. Diesel fuel is seldom
completely free of water. To prevent fuel system
trouble, including fuel tube (line) freezing in winter, drain the accumulated water using the drain pro
vided. If you buy good quality fuel and follow the cold weather advice above, fuel conditioners should
not be required in your vehicle.

FUEL
PUMP
The fuel pump used in this system has a perma
nent magnet electric motor. The pump is part of the
fuel pump module (Fig. 2). The fuel pump module is suspended in fuel in the fuel tank. Fuel is drawn in
through a filter and pushed through the electric mo
tor to the outlet. The pump contains a check valve.
This valve is located near the pump outlet. It re stricts fuel movement in either direction to maintain
fuel supply line pressure when the pump is not oper ational. Voltage to operate the pump is supplied
through the auto shut down (ASD) and fuel pump re
lays.
