A MESSAGE FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC

Chrysler Group LLC and Cummins® welcome you as a

Cummins® turbocharged diesel-powered truck owner.

Your diesel truck will sound, feel, drive, and operate

differently from a gasoline-powered truck. It is important

that you read and understand this manual.

Almost 100% of the heavy duty trucks in the United

States and Canada are diesel-powered because of the fuel

economy, rugged durability, and high torque which per-

mits pulling heavy loads. Cummins® engines power well

over half of these trucks. Now this same technology and

proven performance is yours in your truck equipped

with the Cummins® turbocharged diesel engine.

You may find that some of the starting, operating, and

maintenance procedures are different. However, they are

simple to follow and careful adherence to them will

ensure that you take full advantage of the features of this

engine.

NOTE: Some aftermarket products may cause severe

engine/transmission and/or exhaust system damage.

Your vehicle’s Powertrain Control Systems can detect

and store information about vehicle modifications that

increase horsepower and torque output such as whether

or not performance-enhancing powertrain components,

commonly referred to as downloaders, power boxes, or

performance chips have been used.

This information cannot be erased and will stay in the

system’s memory even if the modification is removed. This

information can be retrieved by Chrysler Group LLC, and

service and repair facilities, when servicing your vehicle.

This information may be used to determine if repair will be

covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

There is a probability that the use of a “performance

chip” will prohibit the engine from starting. In this

instance, the vehicle will need to be serviced by a

authorized dealer in order to return the vehicle to it’s

factory settings.
