The following chart will assist in converting metric
units to equivalent English and SAE units, or vise versa.

TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
TORQUE
CHARTS
A torque chart for fasteners is provided at the end
of each group (of service information). Refer to the Standard Torque Specifications chart to determine
torque values not listed in the group (Figs. 1 and 2).
It is important to be aware that the torque values
listed in the chart are based on clean and dry bolt

AND
GRADE/CLASS
IDENTIFICATION

THREAD
IDENTIFICATION
SAE and metric bolt/nut threads are not the same.
The difference is described in the Thread Notation chart.

GRADE/CLASS
IDENTIFICATION
The SAE bolt strength grades range from grade 2
to grade 8. The higher the grade number, the greater
the bolt strength. Identification is determined by the line marks on the top of each bolt head (Fig. 1). The
actual bolt strength grade corresponds to the number
of line marks plus 2.
• A grade 2 bolt has no line marks on top of the bolt
head
• A grade 5 bolt has 3 line marks on top of the bolt
head • A grade 7 bolt has 5 line marks on top of the bolt
head

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.

LUBRICATION
AND
MAINTENANCE

• A vehicle equipped with SAE approved sling-type
towing equipment can be used (Fig. 10). However,
many vehicles are equipped with air dams, spoilers, and/or ground effect panels. In this case a wheel-lift
towing vehicle or a flat-bed hauling vehicle is recom­ mended (Fig. 10). If a flat bed device is used, the ap­
proach angle should not exceed 15 degrees.
GROUND CLEARANCE The lifted wheels of the disabled vehicle should be
a minimum of 10 cm (4 in.) off the ground. Make
sure there is enough clearance at the opposite end.
This is critical when towing over rough terrain. If necessary, the rear ground clearance can be in­creased by removing the wheels from the lifted end
and then towing with the lifted end closer to the
ground. If the rear wheels are removed, secure the
brake drums. A 20 cm (8 in.) ground clearance must
be maintained between brake drums or rotors and the ground.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS The following safety precautions must be consid­
ered when preparing for and during a vehicle towing operation:
• Remove exhaust pipe tips that interfere with the
tow sling and crossbar • Padding should be placed between the tow sling/
crossbar and any painted surfaces
• If the vehicle is damaged, secure the loose and pro­
truding parts
• Always use a safety chain system that is indepen­ dent of the lifting and towing equipment
• When placing tow hooks on the rear axle, position them so they do not damage the brake tubing or
hoses
• Do not allow any of the towing equipment to con­
tact the fuel tank
• Do not tow the vehicle by connecting to the front
or rear shock absorbers
• The operator should not go under a vehicle while
it is lifted by the towing equipment. The vehicle
should first be supported by safety stands
• Do not allow passengers in a vehicle being towed
• Observe all state and local laws involving warning signals, night illumination, speed, etc.
• Do not exceed a towing speed of 48 km/h (30 mph)
• Avoid towing distances of more than 24 km (15
miles) whenever possible • Do not attach tow chains or a tow sling to a
bumper, the steering linkage, the universal joints, or a drive shaft
REAR-END RAISED TOWING It is recommended that the rear-end raised towing
method be used. Vehicles can be towed with the front
wheels on the ground for extended distances at speeds not exceeding 48 km/h (30 mph) (Fig. 11). (1) Attach the J-hooks around the axle shaft tubes
outboard of the rear springs. (2) Position and center the sling under and for­
ward of the rear bumper. (3) Attach safety chains (with pads) at each end of
the rear bumper.
(4) Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to
unlock the steering wheel. (5) Clamp the steering wheel with the front wheels
in the straight ahead position.

CAUTION:
Do not use the steering
column
lock
to

secure
front
wheel
in the straight-ahead
position.

(6) Shift the transmission to NEUTRAL.

ACCEPTABLE
OIL
LEVEL
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
