Running Out of Fuel
If the diesel engine stalls and you think that you
have run out of fuel, do this to restart your engine:
{CAUTION:
Diesel fuel is ammable. It could start a
re if it gets on hot engine parts. You
could be burned. Do not let too much fuel
ow from the air bleed valve, and wipe up
any spilled fuel with a cloth.
1. If you are parked on a level surface, add at
least 2 gallons (7.6 liters) of fuel. However, if
you are parked on a slope, you may need
to add up to 5 gallons (18.9 liters) of fuel.
2. Follow the fuel priming procedure earlier in
this section to prime the fuel filter.3. Close the air bleed valve.
4. Turn the ignition key to START for 10 to
15 seconds at a time until your engine
starts. If the engine tries to run, but does not
run smoothly, increase the rpm a little
using the accelerator pedal. This will help
force air through the system.
Your check engine light may come on if the
vehicle has run out of fuel. This light may stay on
for a few drive cycles after the condition is
corrected, but will eventually clear itself.

If the system is ever reset accidentally, you must
change your oil at 3,000 miles (5 000 km)
since your last oil change. Remember to reset the
oil life system whenever the oil is changed.
How to Reset the Engine Oil Life
System
The Engine Oil Life System calculates when to
change your engine oil and filter based on vehicle
use. Anytime your oil is changed, reset the
system so it can calculate when the next oil
change is required. If a situation occurs where you
change your oil prior to a change engine oil light
being turned on, reset the system.
To reset the change engine oil light, do the
following:
1. Turn the ignition key to RUN with the
engine off.
2. Fully press and release the accelerator pedal
slowly three times within 10 seconds.
If the change engine oil light flashes for
five seconds, the system is resetting.
3. Turn the key to OFF.
If the change engine oil light comes back on when
you start your vehicle, the engine oil life system
has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
What to Do with Used Oil
Used engine oil contains certain elements that may
be unhealthy for your skin and could even cause
cancer. Do not let used oil stay on your skin for very
long. Clean your skin and nails with soap and
water, or a good hand cleaner. Wash or properly
dispose of clothing or rags containing used engine
oil. See the manufacturer’s warnings about the use
and disposal of oil products.
Used oil can be a threat to the environment. If you
change your own oil, be sure to drain all the oil from
the filter before disposal. Never dispose of oil by
putting it in the trash, pouring it on the ground, into
sewers, or into streams or bodies of water. Instead,
recycle it by taking it to a place that collects used
oil. If you have a problem properly disposing of your
used oil, ask your dealer, a service station or a local
recycling center for help.

Corrosive materials used for ice, snow removal,
and dust control can collect on the underbody.
If these materials are not removed, accelerated
corrosion (rust) can occur on underbody parts
such as fuel lines, frame, floor pan, and exhaust
system. At least every spring, flush these materials
from the underbody with plain water. Take care
to clean well any areas where mud and other
debris can collect. Sediment packed in closed
areas of the frame should be loosened before
being flushed.
Engine Cover Check
Check that the cab’s engine cover and seal
(if equipped) are not torn or damaged.
Be sure that the cover is clamped down firmly
to the floor.
At Least Once a Year
