Maintenance and Specifications
If engine cranks but won't start
Prolonged starter cranking (in excess of 30 seconds) could cause
damage to the starter motor.
• Check the fuel gauge. You may be out of fuel. If the gauge shows that
there is fuel in the tank, the trouble may be in the electrical system or
the fuel system. If equipped with an auxiliary tank, be sure that the tank
control switch is set for the tank with fuel and not on an empty tank.
• Leaving the ignition key turned to 4 (ON) for over two minutes
without starting may make starting difficult because the glow plugs
will cease activation. Reset the system by turning the ignition key to 3
(OFF) and then back to 4 (ON) again.
If the engine runs hot
The following could cause the engine to overheat:
• Lack of coolant.
• Dirty cooling system.
• Plugged radiator fins, charge air cooler, A/C condenser and/or oil
cooler.
• Driving with frozen coolant.
• Sticking thermostat.
• Overloading or pulling heavy trailers during hot weather.
• Grill or radiator air blockage.
• Slipping or missing drive belt.
• Plugged or very dirty air cleaner element.
If fuses burn out
Burned-out or blown fuses usually indicate an electrical short-circuit,
although a fuse may occasionally burn out from vibration. Insert a second
fuse. If this fuse immediately burns out and you cannot locate the cause,
return your vehicle to your dealer for a circuit check.
Replacement fuses and circuit breakers must always be the same
rating as the original equipment shown. Never replace a fuse or
circuit breaker with one of a higher rating. Higher rated fuses or circuit
breakers could allow circuit overloading in the event of a circuit malfunction,
resulting in severe vehicle damage or personal injury due to fire.
Refer to the Owner's Guide for replacement of fuses.
