Note:Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge
indicates normal pressure. This should be indicated on the gauge within
15 seconds after starting.
Note:Idle the engine for three to five minutes before operating with a
full load.
Note:Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes. Excessive idling reduces
fuel economy.
Vehicles with a Manual Transmission
Note:Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Fully press the clutch pedal.
2. Start the engine.
Vehicles with an Automatic Transmission
Note:Do not touch the accelerator pedal.
1. Select positionN,orP(if equipped with a Park position).
2. Fully press the brake pedal.
3. Start the engine.
Starting the Engine with the Vehicle on a Steep Grade
When starting a diesel engine when the loaded vehicle is on a grade, the
engine RPM starts to fall slightly when the clutch is engaged. Do not
disengage the clutch and try to increase engine RPM as this may damage
driveline components. The engine recovers as the vehicle begins moving.
DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER (DPF)
WARNING:The normal operating temperature of the exhaust
system is very high. Never work around, or attempt to repair, any
part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Use special care when
working around the diesel particulate filter. The DPF heats up to a high
temperature after only a short period of engine operation, and can
remain hot even after the engine is turned off. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury.
Your vehicle is equipped with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), as part of
the after-treatment exhaust system, to trap soot and other large particles
produced by the engine combustion process. The soot that accumulates
in the filter must be periodically reduced to ash to prevent excessive
exhaust restriction. The soot reduction process, also known as “filter
regeneration,” is generally performed automatically by your engine and
after-treatment system.

3. The accelerator pedal, service brake pedal, and clutch pedal
(if equipped) must not be pressed.
4. The parking brake must remain set.
On average (depending on filter level and other factors), the process
takes 20–30 minutes to complete. The DPF lamp turns off when the
process is complete. Repeat Steps 1–5, if parked regeneration is
interrupted.
To Discontinue Parked Regeneration
Press any of the floor pedals to discontinue parked regeneration.
Maintenance and Service
The DPF is designed to retain a relatively large amount of residual ash
and provide many miles and hours of maintenance-free operation. At
some point, generally beyond 150000 miles (240000 kilometers) or
5000 hours of operation (whichever comes first), the DPF requires
professional cleaning to remove the accumulated ash.
The exact number of miles or hours of operation varies greatly
depending upon vehicle and engine loading and operating conditions, ash
content of the engine oil, and quality of the diesel fuel used in your
truck. Adhering to your engine manufacturer’s recommended oil and fuel
specifications maximizes the miles and hours of operation before a DPF
professional cleaning is required. See your engine manufacturer’s owner’s
manual for more details regarding recommended maintenance and
service of your DPF.
Exhaust Outlet Assembly
WARNING:The normal operating temperature of the exhaust
system is very high. Never work around or attempt to repair any
part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury.
Note:Do not modify or remove this device. Modification of the system
or additions of aftermarket devices can reduce the effectiveness of the
system, as well as cause damage to the exhaust system or engine. Any
modifications may also invalidate the vehicle and/or engine warranties.
See your warranty information.
Note:Blocked or plugged holes or modification to, or removal of, the
outlet assembly could result in elevated exhaust temperatures which may
result in vehicle or property damage or personal injury.

The exhaust outlet assembly on your vehicle is a uniquely functioning
device that accompanies the DPF assembly. It is designed to help control
the temperature of the exhaust during the DPF regeneration process.
The inlet holes in the side of the assembly are functional. These holes
allow outside air to be drawn into the outlet assembly. The holes need to
be kept clear of mud and other foreign material to maintain proper
functionality of the system. One way to keep the holes clear is to spray
the outlet assembly with a hose when washing the vehicle. Failure to
keep the functional holes clear of foreign material may result in the holes
becoming blocked or plugged.
SWITCHING OFF A DIESEL ENGINE
Allow the engine to idle for three to five minutes before shutting it
down; the larger the engine, the greater the need for this idling period.
Note:Try to limit engine idle to 10 minutes. Excessive idling reduces
fuel economy.
ENGINE AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:In the event of engine shutdown, make sure the
vehicle is safely off the road and the problem is remedied prior to
returning to the road. Failure to remove the vehicle from the road
could result in an accident, causing serious injury or death.
This feature either illuminates a light in the instrument cluster or sounds
a chime (or both) indicating that the engine is being shut down in the
event of high coolant temperature, low engine oil pressure, high diesel
particulate filter soot loading or low engine coolant level. In the event
any of these conditions exist, the engine automatically shuts down.
If the engine shuts down, it can be restarted and operated for
30 seconds at a time or until the problem is corrected. Do not attempt to
use this restarting feature to drive the vehicle very far as serious engine
damage could result.

WARNING:Do not mix diesel fuel with gasoline, gasohol or
alcohol. This could cause an explosion resulting in personal
injury.
WARNING:Do not use starting fluid such as ether or gasoline.
Such fluids can cause immediate explosive damage to the engine
and possible personal injury.
WARNING:Do not use home heating oil or any diesel fuel not
intended for highway use. Red dye is used to identify fuels
intended for agricultural and non-highway use. Damage to the fuel
injection system, engine and exhaust catalyst can occur if an improper
fuel is used. Do not add gasoline, gasohol or alcohol to diesel fuel. This
practice creates a serious fire hazard and engine performance problems.
Note:Use of any fuel other than those recommended may cause
powertrain damage, a loss of vehicle performance, and repairs may not
be covered under warranty.
Use only Ultra Low Sulfur (15 ppm Sulfur Maximum) number 1-D or 2-D
diesel fuel in your diesel engine. The engine and exhaust system were
designed to only use this fuel. Look for the ULTRA-LOW SULFUR
HIGHWAY DIESEL FUEL (15 ppm Sulfur Maximum) label on fuel pumps
when purchasing your fuel.
Number 1-D or winter blend number 2-D fuel is recommended at
temperatures below 20°F (-7°C). Diesel fuel containing no more than
20% biodiesel may be used. Biodiesel fuel is a product that has been
converted from renewable fuel sources, including vegetable oil, animal fat
and cooking oil. Raw or refined vegetable oil, animal fat, cooking oil or
recycled greases should not be used. All biodiesel up to B20 must
comply with ASTM D7467 standards.
See your engine operator’s manual for additional information and
restrictions regarding use of biodiesel fuel.
