• If an engine has been operating and the coolant is hot,

allow the engine to cool before you slowly loosen the
filler cap and relieve the pressure from the cooling
system.

• To avoid burns, remember that the engine components

will stay hot after the engine is shut off.

• Do not use gasoline or other flammable materials to

clean parts. Always use approved cleaning solvents.

• Relieve all pressure in the fuel, oil and cooling systems

before any lines, fittings or related items are removed
or disconnected. Be alert for possible pressure when
disconnecting any device from a system that utilizes
pressure. Do not check for pressure leaks with your
hand. High pressure oil or fuel can cause personal
injury.

WARNING!

Do not open the high pressure fuel system with the
engine running. Engine operation causes high fuel
pressure. High pressure fuel spray can cause serious
injury or death.

Important: All maintenance other than that listed in

this manual, as well as some procedures listed here,
MUST

be performed by your local Dodge Truck

Dealer. Your authorized Dodge Dealer has been
trained and has the necessary parts to maintain your
engine.
