runout and unbalance. Refer to Group 22, Wheels and Tires for diagnosis information.
(5) Suspension components for wear and noise. Check
components for correct torque. Refer to Groups 2 and 3, Suspension and Axle for additional information.
WHEEL
ALIGNMENT
MEASUREMENTS/ADJUSTMENTS
The front wheel alignment positions must be set to
the specified limits. This will prevent abnormal tire
tread wear. The equipment manufacturer's recommenda
tions for use of their
equipment
should always
be followed. All
damaged
front suspension sys
tem components
should
be replaced. Do not at tempt to straighten any
bent
component.
CAMBER AND CASTER-2WD VEHICLES Camber and caster angle adjustments involve repo
sitioning the upper suspension arm cam adjustment
bolts (Fig. 2). Alignment adjustments are accom
plished by loosening the nuts and changing the posi
tion of the cam bolt.
(1) Remove all foreign material from the adjust
ment bolt threads.
(2) Record the camber and caster measurements
before loosening the adjustment bolt nuts.
(3) The camber angle should be adjusted as near as
possible to the preferred angle. The caster should be
the same at both sides of the vehicle. Refer to the Specifications chart.
CAMBER AND CASTER—4WD VEHICLES For 4WD vehicles, the correct wheel camber (verti
cal tilt) angle is factory preset at zero degree (0°).
Camber cannot be altered by adjustment.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to
adjust
the
camber
an
gle by
heating
or bending the axle or any
suspen
sion
component. If camber angle is
incorrect,
the
component(s)
causing
an
incorrect
angle must be replaced.
(1) It is important that the camber (vertical tilt)
angle be the same for both front wheels.
(2) The camber angle should be measured with ac
curate wheel alignment equipment. The acceptable
range is -1° to +1°. Refer to the Specifications chart.
Road test the vehicle and observe the steering
wheel return-to-center position. Before road testing,
check
and
correct
the tire
inflation pressures. Inflate
both
of the front tires
with exactly the
same
pressure.
During the road test, make vehicle turns to both
the left and right. If the steering wheel returns to
ward the center position unassisted, the caster angle is correct. However, if the steering wheel does not re turn toward the center position unassisted, an incor
rect caster angle is probable.
(1) The caster angle is factory preset at positive
two degrees
(
+
2°).
The acceptable range is +1/2° to +
3
1/2°.
(2) The caster angle should be measured with ac
curate wheel alignment equipment.
(3) Caster angle can be adjusted by installing ta
pered shims between the front axle pads and the spring brackets. The caster angle should be adjusted
as near as possible to the preferred angle.
(4) Record the caster measurement before remov
ing the original shims from the spring pads.
(5) The caster should be the same at both sides of
the vehicle. Refer to the Specifications chart.

WHEEL TOE POSITION The wheel toe position adjustment should be the fi
nal front wheel alignment adjustment. In all in stances, follow the equipment manufacturer's
recommended procedure.
(1) Secure the steering wheel with the front wheels
in the straight-ahead position. For vehicles equipped
with power steering, start the engine before straight ening the wheels.
With power steering, the engine should be op
erating during the wheel toe position adjust
ment.
(2) Loosen the tie rod adjustment sleeve clamp
bolts (Fig. 3).
(3) Adjust the wheel toe position by rotating the
tie rod adjustment sleeve (Fig. 3). Rotate each tie-rod end in the direction of
sleeve rotation during the adjustment (Fig. 3).
This will ensure that both tie-rod ends are at the center of their travel.
(4) If applicable, turn the ignition switch off.

CLUTCH
COMPONENTS
MECHANICAL COMPONENTS
The clutch mechanism
in
AD
models with
a gas or
diesel engine consists
of a
single, dry-type clutch disc and
a
diaphragm style clutch cover.
A
hydraulic
linkage
is
used
to
engage/disengage
the
clutch disc
and cover.
The transmission input shaft
is
supported
in the
crankshaft
by a
bearing.
A
sleeve type release bear
ing
is
used
to
operate
the
clutch cover pressure plate.
The release bearing
is
operated
by a
release fork
in
the clutch housing.
The
fork pivots
on a
ball stud
mounted inside
the
housing.
The
release fork
is
actu ated
by a
hydraulic slave cylinder mounted
in the
housing.
The
slave cylinder
is
operated
by a
clutch master cylinder mounted
on the
dash panel.
The
cyl
inder push
rod is
connected
to the
clutch pedal.
The clutch disc
has
cushion springs
in the
disc
hub.
The clutch disc facing
is
riveted
to the hub. The
fac ing
is
made from
a
non-asbestos material.
The
clutch
cover pressure plate
is a
diaphragm type with
a one-
piece spring
and
multiple release fingers.
The
pres sure plate release fingers
are
preset during
manufacture
and are not
adjustable.
A
265 mm
clutch disc
and
cover
are
used
in
models
with
a 3.9L
engine.
A 280 mm
clutch disc
and
cover are used
in
models with
a 5.2L, or
5.9L engine.
A
330 mm
clutch disc
and
cover
are
used
in
models
equipped with
the
optional
5.9L
Cummins diesel
en
gine.
Some diesel models
are
also equipped with
a
clutch pedal interlock switch.
The
switch
is in
circuit
with
the
starter relay
and is
actuated
by the
clutch
pedal
and
push
rod. The
clutch pedal must
be
fully depressed
in
order
to
start
the
engine.
HYDRAULIC LINKAGE COMPONENTS
The hydraulic linkage consists
of a
remote reser
voir, clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder and interconnecting fluid lines.

CLUTCH LINKAGE FLUID
The clutch fluid reservoir, master cylinder, slave
cylinder
and
fluid lines
are
prefilled with fluid
at the
factory during assembly operations. The hydraulic system should
not
require additional
fluid under normal circumstances.
In
fact,
the
reser
voir fluid level will actually increase
as
normal clutch wear occurs.
For
this reason,
it is
impor
tant
to
avoid overfilling,
or
removing fluid from
the reservoir. If inspection
or
diagnosis indicates additional fluid
may
be
needed,
use
Mopar brake fluid,
or an
equiv
alent meeting
SAE and DOT
standards J1703
and
DOT
3. Do not use any
other type
of
fluid.
CLUTCH
COMPONENT LUBRICATION
Proper clutch component lubrication
is
important
to satisfactory operation.
The
correct lubricant
and
not overlubricating
are
equally important. Apply rec
ommended lubricant sparingly
to
avoid disc
and
pres sure plate contamination. Clutch
and
transmission components requiring
lu
brication
are:
• pilot bearing
• release lever pivot ball stud
• release lever contact surfaces
• clutch disc
hub
splines
• clutch pedal pivot shaft bore
• clutch pedal bushings
• input shaft splines
• input shaft pilot
hub
• transmission front bearing retainer slide surface Do
not
apply grease
to any
part
of the
clutch
cover,
or
disc.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS
Use Mopar multi-purpose grease
for the
clutch
pedal bushings
and
pivot shaft.
Use
Mopar high tem
perature grease
(or
equivalent)
for all
other lubrica
tion requirements. Apply recommended amounts
and
do
not
over lubricate.

TEMPERATURE AND
OIL
INDICATING SYSTEM
(FIG.
3) The operation of the temperature and oil pressure
indicating systems are identical. In the temperature
system the sending unit resistance varies in direct
relationship to the temperature of the coolant. When the engine is cold, the resistance of the tem
perature sending unit is high and a cold temperature
will be indicated on the gauge. When the engine is hot, the resistance of the tem
perature sending unit is low and a hot temperature
will be indicated on the gauge. In the oil pressure indicating system the sending
unit resistance is actuated by a diaphragm as the oil
pressure increases or decreases. Low oil pressure causes high resistance. High pressure causes low re
sistance. 12

WARNING LAMP
The oil pressure warning switch, mounted on the
engine, is controlled by engine oil pressure. When engine oil pressure is normal, the switch is
held in the OFF or OPEN position. This stops cur
rent from flowing to the oil pressure warning lamp
on instrument panel. When the engine oil pressure is low, the switch is
in the ON or CLOSED position. This allows current
to flow to the oil pressure warning lamp in the in strument cluster causing the warning lamp to illumi

SPEEDOMETER/ODOMETER SYSTEM
The speedometer/odometer system consists of an
electric speedometer and pushbutton reset odometer
mounted in the cluster. The system also includes the
wire harness from the cluster to the distance sensor at the transmission, and the adapter and pinion in
the transmission. The speedometer/odometer has the same appearance as a conventional version but it
eliminates the cable-driven mechanical system. A signal is sent from a transmission mounted distance
sensor to the speedometer/odometer circuitry through
the wiring harness. By eliminating the speedometer cable, instrument cluster service and removal is im
proved. Refer to Group 21 - Transmission for select ing the proper pinion, and selecting and indexing the
proper adapter.
