DIESEL ENGINE
DESCRIPTION
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.
Use good quality diesel fuel from a reputable sup-
plier in your Dodge truck. For most year-round ser-
vice, number 2 diesel fuel meeting ASTM
specification D-975 will provide good performance. If
the vehicle is exposed to extreme cold (below 0ÉF/-
18ÉC), or is required to operate at colder-than-normal
conditions for prolonged periods, use climatized No. 2
diesel fuel or dilute the No. 2 diesel fuel with 50%
No. 1 diesel fuel. This will provide better protection
from fuel gelling or wax-plugging of the fuel filters.
Diesel fuel is seldom completely free of water. To
prevent fuel system trouble, including fuel line freez-
ing in winter, drain the accumulated water from the
fuel/water separator using the fuel/water separator
drain provided. If you buy good-quality fuel and fol-low the cold-weather advice above, fuel conditioners
should not be required in your vehicle. If available in
your area, a high cetane ªpremiumº diesel fuel may
offer improved cold starting and warm-up perfor-
mance.
DESCRIPTION - ENGINE COOLANT
ETHYLENE-GLYCOL MIXTURES
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be
measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethyl-
ene-glycol.
The required ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) and water
mixture depends upon the climate and vehicle oper-
ating conditions. The recommended mixture of 50/50
ethylene-glycol and water will provide protection
against freezing to -37É C (-34É F). The antifreeze
concentrationmust alwaysbe a minimum of 44 per-
cent, year-round in all climates.If percentage is
lower than 44 percent, engine parts may be
eroded by cavitation, and cooling system com-
ponents may be severely damaged by corrosion.
Maximum protection against freezing is provided
with a 68 percent antifreeze concentration, which
prevents freezing down to -67.7É C (-90É F). A higher
percentage will freeze at a warmer temperature.
Also, a higher percentage of antifreeze can cause the
VALUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE 0 - 1

down to -67.7ÉC (-90ÉF). A higher percentage will
freeze at a warmer temperature. Also, a higher per-
centage of antifreeze can cause the engine to over-
heat because specific heat of antifreeze is lower than
that of water.
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be
measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethyl-
ene-glycol.
COOLANT SELECTION AND ADDITIVES
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder
heads and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Only MopartAntifreeze/Coolant, 5
Year/100,000 Mile Formula (glycol base coolant with
corrosion inhibitors called HOAT, for Hybrid Organic
Additive Technology) is recommended. This coolant
offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when
mixed with 50% distilled water to obtain to obtain a
freeze point of -37ÉC (-34ÉF). If it loses color or
becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with
fresh properly mixed coolant solution.
CAUTION: Do not use coolant additives that are
claimed to improve engine cooling.

DESCRIPTION - ENGINE OIL - DIESEL
ENGINES
SAE VISCOSITY GRADE
CAUTION: Low viscosity oils must have the proper
API quality.
The engine manufacturer strongly recommends the
use of synthetic engine oils, such as Mobilt1 SAE
0W-40.
We strongly recommend engine oils that meet the
requirements of the API Service Category CI-4 and
meet the requirements of Material Standard
MS-6395. Use Mopar or an equivalent oil meeting
the specification MS-6395.
Do not add any materials (other than leak detec-
tion dyes) to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engi-
neered product and it's performance may be impaired
by supplemental additives.
When topping off engine oil, only use oil of the
same quality grade and SAE classification.
The SAE class(viscosity)should be selected in
accordance with the average air temperature for the
season of the year.
The temperature limits given for the different SAE
classes should be regarded as guidelines which may
be exceeded temporarily to avoid excessively frequent
engine oil changes.

Full synthetic oils, such as Mobilt1 0W-40, is
required if the ASSYST Oil Service Reminder is fol-
lowed. Use of a lower quality oil on this service
schedule may cause severe engine damage.
DESCRIPTION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID - NAG1
NOTE: Refer to Service Procedures in this group for
fluid level checking procedures.
Shellt3403 Automatic Transmission Fluid is the
recommended fluid for the NAG1 DaimlerChrysler
automatic transmission.
Dexron II fluid IS NOT recommended. Clutch
chatter can result from the use of improper
fluid.
MopartATF+4, Automatic Transmission Fluid, or
other fluids meeting MS-9602, may be used if Shellt
3403 Automatic Transmission Fluid is not available.
Shellt3403 Automatic Transmission Fluid when
new is red in color. The ATF is dyed red so it can be
identified from other fluids used in the vehicle such
as engine oil or antifreeze. The red color is not per-
manent and is not an indicator of fluid condition. As
the vehicle is driven, the ATF will begin to look
darker in color and may eventually become brown.
This is normal.
FLUID ADDITIVES
DaimlerChrysler strongly recommends against the
addition of any fluids to the transmission, other than
those automatic transmission fluids listed above.
Exceptions to this policy are the use of special dyes
to aid in detecting fluid leaks.
Various ªspecialº additives and supplements exist
that claim to improve shift feel and/or quality. These
additives and others also claim to improve converter
clutch operation and inhibit overheating, oxidation,
varnish, and sludge. These claims have not been sup-
ported to the satisfaction of DaimlerChrysler and
these additivesmust not be used.The use of trans-
mission ªsealersº should also be avoided, since they
may adversely affect the integrity of transmission
seals.
OPERATION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID
The automatic transmission fluid is selected based
upon several qualities. The fluid must provide a high
level of protection for the internal components by
providing a lubricating film between adjacent metal
components. The fluid must also be thermally stable
so that it can maintain a consistent viscosity through
a large temperature range. If the viscosity stays con-
stant through the temperature range of operation,transmission operation and shift feel will remain con-
sistent. Transmission fluid must also be a good con-
ductor of heat. The fluid must absorb heat from the
internal transmission components and transfer that
heat to the transmission case.

TOWING
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TOWING
WARNING: Do not tow the vehicle if the key cannot
be turned in the ignition lock. If the key cannot be
turned, the ignition lock remains locked and the
vehicle cannot be steered. With the engine not run-
ning there is no power assistance for the braking
and steering systems. In this case, it is important to
keep in mind that a considerably higher degree of
effort is necessary to brake and steer the vehicle.
The vehicle must not be towed with the front axle
raised and the key in position 2 in the ignition lock
as the drive wheels could then lock due to the
acceleration skid control (ASR)

(1) Clean any debris away from the test ports caps
at the ALB controller.
(2) Connect brake adapters special tool 9297 to the
test ports at the ALB controller.
(3) Install a Pressure Gauge, Special Tool
C-4007-A, to the adapters.
(4) Tighten all tube nut fittings to 17 N´m (145 in.
lbs.) torque.
(5) Bleed any air out of the system. This includes
bleeding the air from the hose between the pressure
test fitting and pressure gauge, which is done at the
pressure gauge.
NOTE: Adjustment is determined for the automatic
load-dependent brake power control system accord-
ing to the ALB plate. This is housed in the stowage
compartment under the front passenger's door
panel. The part number of the rear spring is
stamped into the spring eye. This must correspond
to the part number of the rear spring on the ALB
plate.
(6) To accurately adjust the rear axle load you
must first determine the rear axle load by weighing
the vehicle at a local scale.
(7) Install the brake pedal winch Special tool 9296
between the brake pedal and the driver seat and
slowly turn the dial until the specified inlet brake
pressure is indicated at the gauge.
NOTE: The pressure gauge, connected at the ALB
controller must indicate the outlet pressure which
is assigned on the ALB plate to the rear axle load
determined.
NOTE: If the rear axle load determined is between
two figures indicated on the ALB plate, the outlet
pressure should be determined accordingly.
(8) If the pressure measured differs from the spec-
ification, adjust the ALB controller (Fig. 16).
(9) Loosen the brake pedal winch.
(10) Adjust the outlet pressure by turning the
adjusting nut (Fig. 16)To increase pressure -
tighten the adjusting nut. To reduce pressure -
loosen the adjusting nut.(11) After adjustment reinstall the brake pedal
winch and recheck the pressures and readjust if
needed.
(12) Tighten the lock adjusting nut.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING - MASTER
CYLINDER/POWER BOOSTER
(1) Start engine and check booster vacuum hose
connections. A hissing noise indicates vacuum leak.
Correct any vacuum leak before proceeding.
(2) Stop engine and shift transmission into Neu-
tral.
(3) Pump brake pedal until all vacuum reserve in
booster is depleted.
(4) Press and hold brake pedal under light foot
pressure. The pedal should hold firm, if the pedal
falls away master cylinder is faulty (internal leak-
age).
(5) Start engine and note pedal action. It should
fall away slightly under light foot pressure then hold
firm. If no pedal action is discernible, power booster,
vacuum supply, or vacuum check valve is faulty. Pro-
ceed to the POWER BOOSTER VACUUM TEST.
(6) If the POWER BOOSTER VACUUM TEST
passes, rebuild booster vacuum reserve as follows:
Release brake pedal. Increase engine speed to 1500
rpm, close the throttle and immediately turn off igni-
tion to stop engine.
(7) Wait a minimum of 90 seconds and try brake
action again. Booster should provide two or more vac-
uum assisted pedal applications. If vacuum assist is
not provided, booster is faulty.

CENTRAL TIMER MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The central timer module (CTM) is located beneath
the driver seat. The CTM uses information carried on
the programmable communications interface (PCI)
data bus network along with many hard wired inputs
to monitor many sensor and switch inputs. In
response to those inputs, the circuitry and program-
ming of the CTM allow it to supply the vehicle occu-
pants with audible and visual information, and to
control and integrate many functions and features of
the vehicle through both hard wired outputs and the
transmission of message outputs to other modules in
the vehicle over the PCI data bus.
The features that the CTM supports or controls
include the following:
²Central Locking- The CTM on vehicles
equipped with the optional Vehicle Theft Security
System (VTSS) includes a central locking/unlocking
feature.
²Enhanced Accident Response- The CTM pro-
vides an optional enhanced accident response fea-
ture. This is a programmable feature.
²Panic Mode- The CTM provides support for
the optional RKE system panic mode including horn,
headlamp, and park lamp flash features.
²Power Lock Control- The CTM provides the
optional power lock system features, including sup-
port for the automatic door lock and door lock inhibit
modes.²Programmable Features- The CTM provides
support for certain programmable features.
²Remote Keyless Entry- The CTM provides
the optional Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system fea-
tures, including support for the RKE Lock (with
optional horn and park lamps flash), Unlock (with
park lamps flash, driver-door-only unlock, and
unlock-all-doors), Panic, and illuminated entry
modes, as well as the ability to be programmed to
recognize up to four RKE transmitters. The RKE
horn, driver-door-only unlock, and unlock-all-doors
features are programmable.
²Vehicle Theft Security System- The CTM
provides control of the optional Vehicle Theft Secu-
rity System (VTSS) features, including support for
the central locking/unlocking mode and control of the
Security indicator in the instrument cluster.
Hard wired circuitry connects the CTM to the elec-
trical system of the vehicle. Refer to the appropriate
wiring information.
Many of the features in the vehicle controlled or
supported by the CTM are programmable using the
DRBIIItscan tool. However, if any of the CTM hard-
ware components are damaged or faulty, the entire
CTM unit must be replaced. The hard wired inputs
or outputs of all CTM versions can be diagnosed
using conventional diagnostic tools and methods;
however, for diagnosis of the CTM or the PCI data
bus, the use of a DRBIIItscan tool is required. Refer
to the appropriate diagnostic information.
VAELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULES 8E - 1

TRANSMISSION CONTROL
MODULE
DESCRIPTION
The transmission control module (TCM) receives,
processes and sends various digital and analog sig-
nals related to the automatic transmission. In addi-
tion, it processes information received from other
vehicle systems, such as engine torque and speed,
accelerator pedal position, wheel speed, kick-down
switch, traction control information, etc.
The TCM is located under the driver's seat and is
connected to other control modules via a CAN bus. It
controls all shift functions to achieve smooth shift
comfort in all driving situations considering:
²Vehicle speed.
²Transmission status.
²Position of selector lever.
²Selected shift range.
²CAN signals.
²Engine Status.Engine speed limits may be reached in all gears
with full throttle or in kick-down operation. In for-
ward driving, the shift range of the forward gears
can be adjusted by the operator by tipping the selec-
tor lever to the left or right (AutoStick). However, the
TCM features a downshift inhibitor to prevent the
engine from overspeeding.
OPERATION
The transmission control module (TCM) deter-
mines the current operating conditions of the vehicle
and controls the shifting process for shift comfort and
driving situations. It receives this operating data
from sensors and broadcast messages from other
modules.
The TCM uses inputs from several sensors that are
directly hardwired to the controller and it uses sev-
eral indirect inputs that are used to control shifts.
This information is used to actuate the proper sole-
noids in the valve body to achieve the desired gear.
The shift lever assembly (SLA) has several items
that are monitored by the TCM to calculate shift
lever position. The reverse light switch, an integral
part of the SLA, controls the reverse light relay con-
trol circuit. The Brake/Transmission Shift Interlock
(BTSI) solenoid and the park lockout solenoid (also
part of the SLA) are controlled by the TCM.
The ECM and ABS broadcast messages over the
controller area network (CAN C) bus for use by the
TCM. The TCM uses this information, with other
inputs, to determine the transmission operating con-
ditions.
The TCM:
²determines the momentary operating conditions
of the vehicle.
²controls all shift processes.
²considers shift comfort and the driving situation.
The TCM controls the solenoid valves for modulat-
ing shift pressures and gear changes. Relative to the
torque being transmitted, the required pressures are
calculated from load conditions, engine rpm, vehicle
speed, and ATF temperature.
The following functions are contained in the TCM:
²Shift Program
²Downshift Safety
²Torque Converter Lock-Up Clutch.
²Adaptation.
This transmission does not have a TCM relay.
Power is supplied to the SLA and the TCM directly
from the ignition.
