CONVERTER-CATALYTIC
DESCRIPTION
WARNING: THE NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IS VERY HIGH. THERE-
FORE, NEVER WORK AROUND OR ATTEMPT TO SERVICE ANY PART OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEMUNTIL IT
IS COOLED. SPECIAL CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING NEAR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.
THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CONVERTER RISES TO A HIGH LEVEL AFTER A SHORT PERIOD OFENGINE
OPERATION TIME.
CAUTION: DO NOT remove spark plug wires from plugs or by any other means short out cylinders. Failure
of the catalytic converter can occur due to a temperature increase caused by unburned fuel passing
through the converter.
The stainless steel catalytic converter body is designed to last the life of the vehicle. Excessive heat can result in
bulging or other distortion, but excessive heat will not be the fault of theconverter. If unburned fuel enters the con-
verter, overheating may occur. If a converter is heat-damaged, correct the cause of the damage at the same time
the converter is replaced. Also, inspect all other components of the exhaust system for heat damage.
Unleaded gasoline must be used to avoid contaminating the catalyst core.
50 State emission vehicles incorporate two mini catalytic converters located after the exhaust manifolds and before
the inline catalytic converter.
OPERATION
The catalytic converter captures and burns any unburned fuel mixture exiting the combustion chambers during the
exhaust stroke of the engine. This process aids in reducing emissions output.

5.9L DIESEL ENGINE
WARNING: IF TORCHES ARE USED WHEN WORK-
ING ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, DO NOT ALLOW
THE FLAME NEAR THE FUEL LINES.
1. Raise and support the vehicle.
2. Saturate the bolts and nuts with heat valve lubri-
cant. Allow 5 minutes for penetration.
3. Remove clamp bolts from exhaust pipe to catalytic
converter clamp (5).
NOTE: Do not remove nut from T-Bolt. Only
remove nut far enough, so that the T-end can be
removed from the clamp.
NOTE: The catalytic converter to exhaust manifold
clamp is not reusable. Always use a new clamp
when reinstalling the catalytic converter.

5. Remove the T-bolt end of the fastener, from the
clamp (1).
6. Spread the clamp, and remove the catalytic converter (4) and front exhaust pipe (2) from the vehicle.
7. Discard the clamp.
8. Remove front exhaust pipe to catalytic converter clamp (3).
9. Separate front exhaust pipe (2) from catalytic converter (4).
8.3L ENGINE
1. Raise and support vehicle.
2. Saturate the bolts and nuts with heat valve lubri-
cant. Allow 5 minutes for penetration.
3. Disconnect oxygen sensor electrical connectors.
4. Remove LH exhaust pipe to manifold bolts (2),
retainers and nuts (1).
5. Remove LH catalytic converter to muffler clamp
nuts (4).
6. Rotate LH catalytic converters (6) from the muffler
(5).
7. Remove RH exhaust pipe to manifold bolts (2),
retainers and nuts (1).
8. Remove RH catalytic converter to muffler clamp
nuts (4).
9. Rotate RH catalytic converter (3) from the muffler
(5).
10. Remove clamps and nuts (4).
INSPECTION
Look at the stainless steel body of the converter, inspect for bulging or other distortion that could be a result of
overheating. If the converter has a heat shield attached make sure it is notbent or loose.
If you suspect internal damage to the catalyst, tapping the bottom of the catalyst with a rubber mallet may indicate
a damaged core.
INSTALLATION
3.7L/4.7L ENGINE
1. Install RH catalytic converter to exhaust clamp (4)
on RH catalytic converter (3) and position into
exhaust pipe (5).
2. Install and hand tighten RH catalytic converter to
exhaust manifold bolts (2).
3. Install c-clip nut (1) and bolt (2) to converter (3) to
manifold.
4. Tighten catalytic converter to exhaust manifold
bolts(1)to31Nꞏm(23ft.lbs.).
5. Tighten all clamp nuts (4) to 52.2 Nꞏm (40 ft. lbs.)
torque.
6. Check the exhaust system for contact with the
body panels. A minimum of 25 mm (1.0 in.) is
required between the exhaust system components
and body/frame parts. Make the necessary adjust-
ments, if needed.
7. Check to ensure you have at least 25 mm clear-
ance to oil pan.
8. Plug in O2 sensor wiring.
9. Lower the vehicle.
10. Start the engine and inspect for exhaust leaks. Repair exhaust leaks asnecessary.

FUEL DELIVERY - GAS
DESCRIPTION
The fuel delivery system consists of:
a fuel pump module containing the electric fuel pump, fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator, fuel gauge sending unit
(fuel level sensor) and a secondary fuel filter located at the bottom of thepump module
fuel tubes/lines/hoses
a combination fuel filter/fuel pressure regulator
quick-connect fittings
fuel injector rail
fuel tank
fuel tank filler/vent tube assembly
fuel tank filler tube cap
accelerator pedal
throttle cable
Certain fuel delivery components can be found in the following graphics:
8. Connect other end of jumper wire to positive side of battery.
9. Connect one end of a second jumper wire to remaining injector terminal.
CAUTION: Powering an injector for more than a few seconds will permanentlydamage the injector.
10. Momentarily touch other end of jumper wire to negative terminal of battery for no more than a few seconds.
11. Place a rag or towel below fuel line quick-connect fitting at fuel rail.
12. Disconnect quick-connect fitting at fuel rail. Refer to Quick-Connect Fittings.
13. Return fuel pump relay to PDC.
14. One or more Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC’s) may have been stored in PCMmemory due to fuel pump relay
removal. The DRB
scantoolmustbeusedtoeraseaDTC.
STANDARD PROCEDURE - DRAINING FUEL TANK - EXCEPT DIESEL
WARNING: The fuel system may be under constant fuel pressure even with the engine off. This pressure
must be released before servicing fuel tank.
Two different procedures may be used to drain fuel tank: through the fuel fill fitting on tank, or using a diagnostic
scan tool to activate the fuel pump relay. Due to a one-way check valve installed into the fuel fill opening fitting at
the tank, the tank cannot be drained conventionally at the fill cap.
The quickest draining procedure involves removing the rubber fuel fill hose at the fuel tank.
As an alternative procedure, the electric fuel pump may be activated allowingtanktobedrainedatfuelrailcon-
nection. Refer to diagnostic scan tool for fuel pump activation procedures. Before disconnecting fuel line at fuel rail,
release fuel pressure. Refer to the Fuel System Pressure Release Procedure for procedures. Attach end of special
test hose tool number 6631 or 6539 at fuel rail disconnection (tool number 6631isusedon5/16”fuellineswhile
tool number 6539 is used on 3/8” fuel lines). Position opposite end of this hose tool to an approved gasoline drain-
ing station. Activate fuel pump and drain tank until empty.
If electric fuel pump is not operating, fuel must be drained through fuel fill fitting at tank. Refer to following proce-
dures.
1. Release fuel system pressure.
2. Raise vehicle.
3. Thoroughly clean area around fuel fill fitting and rubber fuel fill hoseat tank.
4. If vehicle is equipped with 4 doors and a 6 foot (short) box, remove left-rear tire/wheel.
5. Loosen clamp and disconnect rubber fuel fill hose at tank fitting. Usingan approved gas holding tank, drain fuel
tank through this fitting.
