UNDERBODY LINES
DESCRIPTION
The rear heater-A/C unit plumbing is used only on
models with the optional rear heater-A/C unit. The
formed metal rear heater-A/C unit suction line, liquid
line, and heater lines are available for separate ser-
vice replacement. The molded and straight heater
hoses used on the rear heater-A/C unit can be ser-
viced in the vehicle. Refer to Group 7 - Cooling Sys-
tem for the heater hose service procedures.
OPERATION
The rear heater and A/C lines are all serviced as
individual pieces. When disconnecting any line or
block ensure that the area around it is clean of any
contaminations that can get in to the system (Fig. 8),
(Fig. 9), (Fig. 11), (Fig. 10) and (Fig. 12).Any kinks or sharp bends in the rear heater-A/C
unit plumbing will reduce the capacity of the entire
heating and air conditioning system. Kinks and
sharp bends reduce the system flow. High pressures
are produced in the refrigerant system when the air
conditioning compressor is operating. High tempera-
ture coolant is present in the heater plumbing when
the engine is operating. Extreme care must be exer-
cised to make sure that each of the plumbing connec-
tions is pressure-tight and leak free.

FUEL DOSING PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The dosing pump is a combined delivery, dosing
and shut-off system for the fuel supply to the heater
from the vehicles fuel tank.
OPERATION
The dosing pump is an electrically operated pump
that receives its operation instructions from the sup-
plemental heater electronic control module. The
pump supplies diesel fuel from the fuel tank to the
heater unit.
REMOVAL
The dosing pump is serviceable without removing
the component from the vehicle.
(1) Disconnect the rubber hose at the fuel line to
heater fuel pump. Leave the rubber hose on the fuel
line.(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CONDITION-
ING/CABIN HEATER/FUEL LINE - REMOVAL)
(Fig. 2).
(2) Disconnect the fuel line between the dosing
pump and the heater unit.NOTE: Position and retain heater fuel line to pre-
vent fuel leakage while servicing dosing pump.
NOTE: Utilize an approved fuel storage container to
catch any residual fuel.
(3) Disconnect the electrical connector to the fuel
pump by depressing the integral spring and pulling
the connector away from the pump.
(4) Remove the dosing pump from the rubber iso-
lation.
INSTALLATION
(1) Mount the rubber isolation back onto the
splash shield mounting flanges at two locations.
(2) Connect fuel lines to the dosing pump and the
heater unit. The connectors should point towards the
heater fuel line.
(3) Use aviation style clamps to attach the hose to
the fuel pump nipples(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR
CONDITIONING/CABIN HEATER/FUEL LINE -
INSTALLATION).

(4) Connect the electrical connector to the fuel
pump by depressing the integral spring and pushing
the connector towards the dosing pump. Pull the con-
nector towards the heater to verify the installation.
(5) Verify function of the heater.
FUEL LINE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - CLEANING
(1) Remove the cabin heater fuel line(Refer to 24 -
HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CABIN HEAT-
ER/FUEL LINE - REMOVAL).
(2) With cabin heater line removed from vehicle
place a shop cloth on the fuel tank end of the fuel
line to catch any residue, then apply a small amount
of air pressure to the other end of the fuel line.
(3) Check to see if air pressure is coming from the
tank end of the line. If pressure is flowing unre-
stricted the line is clean.
(4) If the line shows any signs of being restricted
after air pressure is applied, then the fuel line should
be replaced.
(5) Install the cabin heater line(Refer to 24 -
HEATING & AIR CONDITIONING/CABIN HEAT-
ER/FUEL LINE - INSTALLATION).
(6) Verify function of the heater.
REMOVAL
(1) Elevate vehicle on a lift taking note of the
heater exhaust tube flexible section.
(2) Remove clamps on dosing pump end of fuel line
and separate line from pump (Fig. 3).
NOTE: Have an approved fuel holding device ready
to capture any diesel fuel that drains from fuel line
or heater unit.
(3) Remove clamp from fuel line at fuel tank con-
nection and separate line from tank.
(4) Remove any retaining clips and remove line
from vehicle.

(1) Elevate the vehicle on a hoist/lift taking note of
heater exhaust tube flexible section.
(2) Drain cooling system(Refer to 7 - COOLING -
STANDARD PROCEDURE).
(3) Carefully open one hose to the underbody tube
assembly and drain the remaining coolant. A salvage

flow will occur from both the heater and the hose and
tube assemblies.
(4) Remove the second hose from the underbody
hose and tube assembly.
(5) Loosen the hose and tube assembly from the
toe-board cross member at two locations.

body harness near the toe board cross member and
rail.
(7) Remove the wiring harness from the toe board
cross member(Refer to 24 - HEATING & AIR CON-
DITIONING/CABIN HEATER/HEATER UNIT -
REMOVAL).
(8) Open the fuel fill cap. Disconnect the rubber
fuel hose between the body tube assembly and the
fuel pump nipple at the body tube joint. A minimal
amount of fuel may flow from the open port.
NOTE: Utilize an approved fuel storage container to
catch any residual fuel.
(9) Loosen the two M8 fasteners at the rail. Take
care to notice that the exhaust tube bracket tab is on
top of the heater bracket.(10) Remove the heater exhaust tube flex section
from the exhaust tube by loosening the M6 bolt of
the clamp assembly. Remove the hose from the
exhaust tube. Removal of the rail tube assembly may
aid in this service operation.(Refer to 24 - HEATING
& AIR CONDITIONING/CABIN HEATER/EXHAUST
TUBE - REMOVAL).
(11) Remove seat hex nut at the heater mounting
flange to cross member.
(12) Loosen the remaining M6 and M8 fasteners
which mount the exhaust tube assembly to the vehi-
cle.
(a) Install a suitable cabin heater support device
under the cabin heater and secure the cabin heater
to the device.
