CAUTION: If fuel contamination due to fungi or other microorganisms is
suspected a fuel additive with a biocide may be used. Follow
the manufacturers dosage as recommended on product label. Use
biocides ONLY when necessary, excessive use can may cause
other fuel system problems.
DIESEL FUEL CONTAMINATION
WARNING: Diesel fuel system may be contaminated with fungi or other
microorganisms. Keep contaminated fuel away from open skin
cuts or sores to prevent skin irritation or infection.
DIESEL FUEL REQUIREMENTS
CAUTION: All diesel engines have been developed to take advantage of
the high energy content of No. 2 diesel fuel or No. 2
climatized-diesel fuels. It also operates on No. 1-diesel
fuels if temperatures are expected to be extended arctic
conditions -10
\bF (-23\bC).
WARNING: Do NOT use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel blending agent. They
can be unstable under certain conditions and hazardous or
explosive when mixed with diesel fuel.
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE (ESD) PARTS
WARNING: Many solid state electrical components can be damaged by
static electricity (ESD). Some will display a warning label,
but many will not. Discharge personal static electricity by
touching a metal ground point on the vehicle prior to
servicing any ESD sensitive component.
ENGINE OIL
CAUTION: Never use non-detergent or straight mineral oil.
ENGINE OIL FILTER (CARTRIDGE TYPE)
CAUTION: Use of Mopar Oil Filter Cartridge (P/N 04746914) is
RECOMMENDED. The engine oil filter cartridge should be
changed at every engine oil change. Use the same type oil
that will be used in the engine.
FUEL SYSTEM SERVICE
WARNING: Relieve fuel system pressure prior to servicing any fuel
system component (fuel injection models).
HALOGEN BULBS
WARNING: Halogen bulbs contain pressurized gas which may explode if
overheated. DO NOT touch glass portion of bulb with bare
hands. Eye protection should be worn when handling or working
around halogen bulbs.
RADIATOR CAP
CAUTION: Always disconnect the fan motor when working near the
radiator fan. The fan is temperature controlled and could
start at any time even when the ignition key is in the OFF
position. DO NOT loosen or remove radiator cap when cooling
system is hot.

FUEL LINE DISCONNECT FITTINGS
NOTE: Fuel lines may contain single tab, dual tab or plastic
retainer ring disconnect fitting. See Fig. 6. Determine type
of disconnect fitting used and use proper procedure for
proper disconnect fitting.

Removal & Installation (Single Tab)
1) Disconnect negative battery cables. Ensure disconnect

CAUTION: DO NOT apply battery voltage to fuel injector for extended
periods, or fuel injector may be damaged.
7) Momentarily touch remaining end of jumper wire to negative
battery terminal in short intervals to energize fuel injector and
release remaining fuel pressure.
8) Remove jumper wires. Reinstall electrical connector and
fuel pump relay. Fuel system components may now be serviced. Cover
fuel lines with shop towel before disconnecting, as some residual fuel
pressure may exist.
9) Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTCs) may have been stored in
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) due to the removal of fuel pump relay.\
Using scan tool, clear DTCs from PCM. See appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS
article for clearing of DTCs.
FUEL LINE DISCONNECT FITTINGS
NOTE: Fuel lines may contain single tab, dual tab or plastic
retainer ring disconnect fitting. See Fig. 24. Determine type
of disconnect fitting used and use proper procedure for
proper disconnect fitting.
