Note:Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge
indicates normal pressure. The oil pressure gauge should indicate this
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 you engage the clutch. 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. You must periodically
reduce the soot that accumulates in the filter to prevent excessive
exhaust restriction. The engine and after-treatment system generally
perform the soot reduction process, also known as “filter regeneration,”
automatically.

3. Do not press the accelerator pedal, service brake pedal, or clutch
pedal (manual transmission).
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 can 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 vary 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 about 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 or engine warranty. See
your warranty information.
Note:Blocked or plugged holes or modification to, or removal of, the
outlet assembly could result in elevated exhaust temperatures that 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 can 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 enter into the outlet assembly. Keep the holes 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 your vehicle. Failure to keep the functional
holes clear of foreign material may result in blocking or plugging of the
holes.
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 is 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 tone (or both) indicating that the engine is being shut down due to
high coolant temperature, low engine oil pressure, high diesel particulate
filter soot loading or low engine coolant level. If any of these conditions
exist, the engine automatically shuts down.
If the engine shuts down, you can restart and operate it for 30 seconds
at a time or until you correct the problem. Do not attempt to use this
restarting feature to drive your vehicle very far as serious engine damage
could result.
ENGINE BLOCK HEATER (IF EQUIPPED)
WARNING:Failure to follow engine block heater instructions
could result in property damage or personal injury.
WARNING:Do not use your heater with ungrounded electrical
systems or two-pronged (cheater) adapters. There is a risk of
electrical shock.

Diesel Engine
WARNING:Using low sulfur (16-500 ppm) or high sulfur
(greater than 500 ppm) diesel fuel in a diesel engine designed to
use only Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel fuel causes certain emission
components to malfunction which may also cause the Service Engine
Soon light to illuminate indicating an emissions-related concern. It may
also increase the likelihood of engine oil dilution with fuel which may
lead to major engine damage
WARNING:Do not mix diesel fuel with gasoline, gasohol or
alcohol. This could cause an explosion resulting in personal
injury.
WARNING:Do not add gasoline, gasohol or alcohol to diesel
fuel. This practice creates a serious fire hazard resulting in
personal injury and engine performance problems.
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.
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) No. 1-D or 2-D
diesel fuel in your diesel engine. Diesel fuel No. 1-D or winter diesel fuel
blend of No. 2-D is recommended at ambient temperatures below 20°F
(-7°C). Diesel fuel that is blended with 20% biodiesel maximum may be
used.
