A MESSAGE FROM CHRYSLER LLC
Chrysler LLC and Cummins
威
welcome you as a Cum-
mins

turbocharged diesel-powered truck owner.
Almost 100% of all heavy duty trucks are diesel-powered
because of the fuel economy, rugged durability, and high
torque which permits 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.
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. 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.
