    Diesel information DIESEL ENGINE INFORMATION The diesel engine fuel system consists of: a frame-mounted electric fuel supply pump an engine mounted fuel filter/water separator a fuel restriction sensor a unit injector for each cylinder The combination fuel filter/water separator removes both water and impurities from the fuel.
  • Page 5 Fast start glow plug system The glow plug system consists of: eight glow plugs the glow plug relay engine oil temperature (EOT) sensor barometric pressure (BARO) sensor The glow plug system is electronically controlled by the PCM. The PCM energizes the glow plugs immediately after the ignition is placed in the ON position, then determines how long the glow plugs will be on according to the EOT and BARO sensors.
  • Page 6 Diesel information Air filter restriction gauge The restriction gauge, located on the clean-air side of the air cleaner upper housing, shows if the air filter is clogged. Refer to “Engine Compartment” in Service Points chapter. The air filter element should be replaced when the colored band on the gauge reaches the CHANGE FILTER mark.

Your vehicle fuel system is equipped with a fuel filter/water separator to remove water from the fuel. The WATER IN FUEL light will illuminate when the ignition is turned to START (as part of the light function check) and when the fuel filter/water separator has a significant quantity of water in If the light illuminates when the engine is running, stop the vehicle as...

  • Page 9: Starting

    Starting STARTING THE ENGINE Read all starting instructions carefully before you start your vehicle. For temperatures below 0°C (32°F), the use of the correct grade engine oil is essential for proper operation. If your vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, make sure the parking brake is set fully before you turn the key.
  • Page 10 Starting 5. After the engine starts, allow it to idle for about 15 seconds. (Do not increase engine speed until the oil pressure gauge indicates normal pressure.) STOPPING THE ENGINE Turn the ignition to OFF. To prolong engine life (after extended high speed or maximum GVW operation), it is recommended that a hot engine be allowed to operate at low idle for about 7–10 minutes which would allow sufficient time for the turbocharged engine to cool down.
  • Page 11 Starting Operation in standing water Ingestion of water into the diesel engine can result in immediate and severe damage to the engine. If driving through water, slow down to avoid splashing water into the intake. If the engine stalls, and ingestion of water into the engine is suspected, do not try to restart the engine.

  • Page 15 Your vehicle’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by volume, so you cannot necessarily use all available space when loading a vehicle. Distribute the load so that only 10 to 15% of the total is on the tongue. Tie down the load so that it does not shift and change the weight on the hitch.

  • Page 16: General Maintenance Information

  • Page 17 General maintenance information Truck stops have pumps and nozzles designed for larger, heavy-duty trucks. When refueling at truck stops: if the nozzle shuts off repeatedly when refueling, wait 5–10 seconds; then use a slower rate of flow (don’t depress the nozzle trigger as far). If air is allowed to enter the fuel system (during fuel filter change or if you run out of fuel) the engine will purge the trapped air as it runs.
