7. Release the parking brake and drive.
NOTE:
• Engine idle speed will automatically increase to 1,000
RPM and engage the Variable Geometry Turbocharger
at low coolant temperatures to improve engine warm-
up.
• The engine may not automatically crank after the
engine Wait To Start telltale goes off if a door or the
hood is ajar.
• If the engine stalls, or if the ignition switch is left ON
for more than two minutes after the “Wait To Start

seconds and then back ON. Repeat steps 1 through 7 of

Extreme Cold Weather
The Cummins® diesel engine is equipped with several
features designed to assist cold weather starting and
operation:
•
The engine block heater is a resistance heater installed
in the water jacket of the engine just above and behind
the oil filter. It requires a 110–115 Volt AC electrical
outlet with a grounded, three-wire extension cord.
NOTE: The engine block heater cord is a factory installed
option. If your vehicle is not equipped, heater cords are
available from your authorized MOPAR® dealer.

STARTING AND OPERATING 211

•Brake pedal must not be applied.
• No vehicle, brake or clutch switch faults present.
• Vehicle engine must be running.
• PTO must be correctly installed using the vehicle
provided circuits.
The customer may choose to use the PTO while the
vehicle is moving. To do so, the PTO function must be
activated prior to taking the vehicle out of PARK. This is
accomplished by activating the upfitter-provided PTO
on/off switch. At this point, the customer may place the
vehicle in a forward or reverse gear and have PTO
operation once the vehicle begins to move. To disengage
PTO operation and return to “standard vehicle opera-
tion” simply toggle the on/off switch to the OFF position. NOTE:
For application specific information with respect
to PTO and pump requirements and additional vehicle
information (wiring schematics, preset idle values, en-
gine speed limits, and vehicle hardware and software
requirements) please refer to the Body Builders Guide by
accessing www.rambodybuilder.com and choosing the
appropriate links.
ENGINE RUNAWAY
Diesel engine runaway is a rare condition affecting diesel
engines, where the engine consumes its own lubrication
oil and runs at higher and higher RPM until it overspeeds
to a point where it destroys itself due to either mechani-
cal failure or engine seizure through lack of lubrication.

Inspection and service should also be performed anytime
a malfunction is observed or suspected. Retain all re-
ceipts.
Oil Change Indicator System — Cummins®
Diesel
Your vehicle is equipped with an engine oil change
indicator system. This system will alert you when it is
time to change your engine oil by displaying the words
“Oil Change Due” on your Electronic Vehicle Informa-
tion Center (EVIC) or Driver Information Display (DID).
The oil change reminder will remind the owner to change
the engine oil every 15,000 miles or 500 hours, whichever
comes first, except for the Chassis Cab models that are
using B20 biodiesel, which are 12,500 miles or 400 hours,
whichever comes first. Failure to change the engine oil
per the maintenance schedule can result in internal
engine damage.Your authorized dealer will reset the oil change indicator
message after completing the scheduled oil change. If a
scheduled oil change is performed by someone other
than your authorized dealer, the message can be reset by
referring to the steps described under “Electronic Vehicle
Information Center (EVIC)” or “Driver Information Dis-
play (DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument Panel”
for further information.
Replace the engine oil and oil filter every 15,000 miles
(24 000 km) or six months, or sooner if prompted by the
oil change indicator system. Under no circumstances
should oil change intervals exceed 15,000 miles (24
000 km) or six months, whichever comes first.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE 323

NOTE:
•Under no circumstances should oil change intervals
exceed 15,000 miles (24,000 km) or six months or 500
Hours, whichever comes first.
• Replace the engine oil and oil filter every 12,500 miles
(20 000 km) when running B20 fuel (Chassis Cab
Only).
If Chassis Cab models are operated with greater than 5%
levels of Biodiesel, the oil change interval must not
exceed 12,500 miles (20 000 km) under any circumstances.
See the Fuel Requirements section for more information
regarding operation of Chassis Cab models configured
for use with Biodiesel blend (B6-B20) fuel meeting ASTM
specification D-7467.Perform Service Indicator — Cummins® Diesel
Your vehicle will require emissions maintenance at a set
interval. To help remind you when this maintenance is
due, the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) or
Driver information Display (DID) will display “Perform
Service”. When the “Perform Service” message is dis-
played on the EVIC/DID it is necessary to have the
emissions maintenance performed. Emissions mainte-
nance may include replacing the Closed Crankcase Ven-
tilation (CCV) filter element. The procedure for clearing
and resetting the “Perform Service” indicator message is
located in the appropriate Service Information.
