2006 DODGE RAM SRT-10 clock

1. Using a new seal (gasket), position fuel pump mod-
uleintoopeninginfueltank.
2. Position lockring (5) over top of fuel pump module.
3. Rotate module until embossed alignment arrow
points to center alignment mark. This step must be
performed to prevent float from contacting side of
fuel tank. Also be sure fuel fitting on top of pump
module is pointed to drivers side of vehicle.
4. Install Special Tool 9340 (3) to lockring.
5. Install 1/2 inch drive breaker (1) into Special Tool
9340 (3).
6. Tighten lockring (clockwise) until all seven notches
have engaged.
7. Install fuel tank (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/
FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL TANK - INSTALLATION).

ACTUATOR - FUEL CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is located at the rear
of the high-pressure, fuel injection pump (2).
OPERATION
The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is an electronically controlled solenoidvalve. The ECM controls the amount of fuel
that enters the high-pressure pumping chambers by opening and closing theFCA based on a demanded fuel pres-
sure. When the FCA is opened, the maximum amount of fuel is being supplied tothe fuel injection pump. Any fuel
that does not enter the injection pump is directed to the cascade overflow valve. The cascade overflow valve reg-
ulates how much excess fuel is used for lubrication of the pump and how much is returned to the fuel tank through
the drain manifold.
An audible click from the FCA is normal when operating the key from the ON to the OFF position.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the cap srews and Fuel Control Actuator (FCA).
2. Twist and pull FCA to remove.
INSTALLATION
1. Lubricate the new Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) o-ring with clean oil before installation.
2. Turn the FCA in a clockwise direction while pressing it into the bore. Be sure that the FCA flange is flush with the
mounting surface on the Fuel Injection Pump.
3. Install the capscrews by hand.
4. Then tighten capscrews to 7Nm (62 in-lbs).

DESCRIPTION - SRT10
The SRT-10 column has noSTARTposition on the key cylinder. The push starter button switch is mounted on the
Instrument panel center stack. All SRT-10 columns are Tilt columns, Standard cab trucks come with manual trans-
missions, Quad cab trucks come equipped with automatic transmissions.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
STEERING COLUMN
If the vehicle is involved in a front end collision/the air bag has deployedthe column must be inspected. This
inspection will determine if the Column has collapsed. Inspect the columnmounting capsules visually and manually
push and pull them to check for separation or fractures. If capsules are fractured or have moved the column MUST
be replaced.
REMOVAL
WARNING: Before servicing the steering column the airbag system must be disarmed. Refer to electrical
restraint system for service procedures. Failure to do so may result in accidental deployment of the airbag
and possible personal injury.
CAUTION: All fasteners must be torqued to specification to ensure proper operation of the steering column.
1. Position the front wheelsstraight ahead.
2. Disconnect the negative (ground) cable from the battery.
3. Remove the airbag, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RE-
STRAINTS/DRIVER AIRBAG - REMOVAL).
4. Remove the steering wheel (1) with special tool
CJ98–1 (2) or an appropriate steering wheel puller.
(Refer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN/STEERING
WHEEL - REMOVAL).
CAUTION: Ensure the puller bolts are fully
engaged into the steering wheel and not into the
clockspring, before attempting to remove the
wheel. Failure to do so may damage the steering
wheel/clockspring.

8. Remove the clock spring, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRI-
CAL/RESTRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - REMOVAL).
9. Disconnect the wiring harness (8) to the column.
10. Remove the shift cable (5) from the column shift
lever actuator (4) (Refer to 21 - TRANSMISSION/
TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 32RH/GEAR SHIFT
CABLE - REMOVAL).
11. Release the shift cable (5) from the column
bracket (7) and remove it from the bracket.
12. Remove the upper steering shaft coupler bolt (2).
13. Separate the shaft from the coupler (3).
14. Remove the brake light switch (2) and discard
(Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/LAMPS/LIGHTING -
EXTERIOR/BRAKE LAMP SWITCH - REMOVAL).
15. Remove the four steering column mounting nuts
(1 & 3).

7. Install the shifter cable (5). (Refer to 21 - TRANS-
MISSION/TRANSAXLE/AUTOMATIC - 32RH/GEAR
SHIFT CABLE - INSTALLATION)
8. Connect the wiring harness (8) to the column.
9. Install the clockspring (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/
RESTRAINTS/CLOCKSPRING - REMOVAL).
10. Install the shrouds (1&2).
11. Align the spline on the wheel hub to shaft.
12. Then install the steering wheel and install anewbolt. Tighten the bolt to 61 Nꞏm (45 ft. lbs.).
13. Install the airbag (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/DRIVER AIRBAG- INSTALLATION).
14. Install the tilt lever knob (2).

STEERING WHEEL
REMOVAL
1. Disable and remove the driver’s side airbag. (Refer
to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/DRIVER AIR-
BAG - REMOVAL).
2. Partially remove the steering wheel bolt and leave
theboltinthecolumn.
3. Install puller CJ98-1 (2) or equivalent using the top
ofthebolttopushon.
4. Remove and discard the steering wheel bolt.
5. Remove the steering wheel (1).
INSTALLATION
NOTE: Do not reuse the old steering wheel bolt (a new bolt must be used)
1. Install steering wheel to the column
NOTE: Be certain that the steering wheel mounting bolt is tightened to the proper torque specification to
ensure proper clockspring operation.
2. Install the new steering wheel bolt. Tighten the bolt to 61 Nꞏm (45 ft. lbs.).
3. Install the driver’s side air bag. (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RESTRAINTS/DRIVER AIRBAG - INSTALLATION).

TILT LEVER KNOB RELEASE
REMOVAL
1. Remove the screw (1) securing the tilt lever knob
(2).
2. Remove the steering column opening cover (Refer to 23 - BODY/INSTRUMENTPANEL/STEERING COLUMN
OPENING COVER - REMOVAL).
3. Remove the lower shroud.
NOTE: Use special care not to pry on the clockspring electrical connector whenremovingorinstallingthe
mounting screw located next to the clockspring.
4. Remove the two mounting screws (1) from the tilt
lever knob release bracket (3).

ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTMENT
CAUTION: Steering gear must be adjusted in the proper order. If adjustments are not performed in order,
gear damage and improper steering response may result.
NOTE: Adjusting the steering gear in the vehicle is not recommended. Remove gear from the vehicle and
drain the fluid. Then mount gear in a vise to perform adjustments.
1. Remove the steering gear from the vehicle(Referto19-STEERING/GEAR-REMOVAL).
2. Mount the gear carefully into a soft-jawed vise.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the vise on the gear case. This may affect the adjustment
3. Hold the steering gear upside down over a drain pan and rotate the input shaft back and forth several times
lock-to-lock to discharge the fluid from the steering gear
4. Rotate the input shaft to the left stop and then back-off approximately 45 degrees. Using an inch-pound torque
wrench on the input shaft, record the peak torque required to slowly and evenly rotate the input shaft clockwise
1⁄2turn (180 degrees) starting from the 45 degree position. This peak torque reading is the preload torque. The
preload torque must be within 2 - 10 in-lbs.
5. Rotate the input shaft to its center of travel (approximately 1.5 turns from either stop). Place the torque wrench
on the input shaft with the handle in the vertical position. Rotate the torque wrench slowly and evenly
1⁄4turn (90
degrees) each side of center and record the peak torque measure on or near center. This total on-center torque
reading must be 5 - 9 in-lbs higher than the previously measured preload torque without exceeding a total of 17
in-lbs. The value of the total on-center minus the preload torque is defined as the meshload torque
6. If required, adjust the on-center torque by loosening the adjuster screw lock nut and turning the adjuster screw
until the total on-center and meshload torque readings fall within the specified values. Turn the adjuster screw
clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease the torque reading. While holding the adjuster screw in
place, tighten the lock nut to 34 Nꞏm (25 ft. lbs.).
7. Re-check the preload and on-center torque readings.
8. Install pitman arm on the steering gear (Refer to 19 - STEERING/LINKAGE/PITMAN ARM - INSTALLATION).
9. Reinstall steering gear to the vehicle (Refer to 19 - STEERING/GEAR - INSTALLATION).
