near starter motor. See Fig. 3. Disconnect negative battery cables.
Disconnect electrical wiring harness connector for CKP sensor.
2) Remove starter motor. Remove CKP sensor mounting bolt and
bracket. Pull CKP sensor from engine block with a twisting motion. To
install CKP sensor, reverse removal procedure. Tighten CKP bolt to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
INTAKE MANIFOLD AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Removal & Installation
1) Disconnect electrical connector from intake manifold air
temperature sensor. See Fig. 3. Remove intake manifold air temperature
sensor from intake manifold cover.
2) To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten intake
manifold air temperature sensor to specification. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS.

FUEL LINE BLEEDING
NOTE: Fuel line bleeding is necessary if fuel injection pump is
replaced, fuel filter/water separator is not filled with
diesel fuel before installing or vehicle ran out off fuel.
Bleed high-pressure fuel lines if connections are loosened or
replaced. If engine has not been operated for an extended
time, bleed fuel lines before next initial engine start-up.
WARNING: DO NOT bleed fuel lines on a hot engine, as high exhaust
temperatures may cause a fire. Carefully bleed fuel lines, as
fuel is under extremely high pressure and could penetrate
skin. Use safety goggles and protective clothing when
bleeding fuel lines.
1) Loosen banjo bolt holding low-pressure fuel supply line to
side of fuel injection pump. Wrap a towel around banjo fitting to
catch fuel. Crank engine quickly and release key before engine starts.
This will operate fuel transfer pump for about 25 seconds.
2) If fuel is not present at fuel supply line after 25
seconds, turn ignition off. Repeat engine crank procedure until fuel
is present at fuel supply line. Tighten banjo bolt at fuel supply line
to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
CAUTION: Ensure parking brake is applied and transmission is in
Neutral before bleeding fuel injection pump or high-pressure
fuel lines. DO NOT operate starter for more than 30 seconds
when bleeding fuel injection pump or high-pressure fuel
lines. Allow 2-minute intervals between starter operations.
3) To bleed air from fuel injection pump, ensure parking
brake is applied and transmission is in Neutral, as engine may start
when operating starter to bleed air from fuel injection pump. Operate
starter for 30 seconds to bleed any trapped air in fuel injection
pump.
4) To bleed high-pressure fuel lines, ensure parking brake is
applied and transmission is in Neutral, as engine may start when
operating starter to bleed high-pressure fuel lines. Loosen high-
pressure fuel line nut at fuel injector.
5) Operate starter until steady fuel flow exists at high-
pressure fuel line. Tighten high-pressure fuel line nut to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS. Start engine. Repeat
procedure on each high-pressure fuel line until engine operates
smoothly.
FUEL FILTER/WATER SEPARATOR & WATER-IN-FUEL SENSOR
NOTE: Vehicle also contains an in-tank fuel filter located on
bottom of fuel tank module. For servicing procedure, see FUEL
TANK MODULE & IN-TANK FUEL FILTER under FUEL SYSTEM.
NOTE: When fuel filter/water separator is being replaced,
manufacturer recommends cleaning the pre-filter. See FUEL
HEATER under FUEL SYSTEM for servicing of pre-filter.
Removal
1) Ensure engine is off. Place drain pan below drain tube at
fuel filter/water separator. See Fig. 3. Rotate handle on drain valve
forward, toward front of vehicle to DRAIN position. Drain valve is
located near top of fuel filter/water separator. See Fig. 3. Once fuel
is drained from fuel filter/water separator, rotate handle on drain
valve back to CLOSE position.
Page 931 of 1691
2) Disconnect drain tube from drain valve. Disconnect
electrical connector for Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor at bottom of fuel
filter/water separator. See Fig. 3.
3) Support canister for fuel filter/water separator and
remove canister nut from top of filter mounting head. See Fig. 3.
Remove canister with fuel filter/water separator and seal ring from
filter mounting head. Remove fuel filter/water separator from
canister.
4) Remove "O" ring from top of shaft inside the canister.
Remove bolts and drain valve from canister (if necessary).
5) Check the 2 probes inside the canister on end of WIF
sensor for contamination. Clean probes if contaminated. If
contamination cannot be removed from the probes, replace WIF sensor.
If replacing WIF sensor, remove WIF sensor and "O" ring from canister.
6) Fuel heater is located inside fuel filter housing. Heater
mounting plate, heating element, temperature sensor, and wiring
harness are serviced as an assembly. Disconnect heater electrical
connector from engine wiring harness near upper rear part of filter.
7) Disconnect electrical connector at end of 2-wire harness
before attempting to pass harness through filter header. Remove clip
retaining wires to connector. Remove wires from connector. Remove 3
fuel heater screws. Press on heater sealing grommet to remove heater
from filter canister header. Pass wire through hole in filter header.
Remove fuel heater.
Installation
1) Ensure inside of canister is clean. Using NEW "O" ring,
install WIF sensor on canister (if removed). Tighten WIF sensor to
specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
2) Install drain valve on canister (if removed). Tighten
drain valve-to-canister bolts to specification. See TORQUE
SPECIFICATIONS.
3) Install NEW "O" ring on shaft inside canister. Coat "O"
ring with diesel fuel. Install NEW fuel filter/water separator and NEW
seal ring in canister. Coat seal ring with diesel fuel.
NOTE: Canister for fuel filter/water separator should be filled
with diesel fuel before installing. If canister cannot be
filled with diesel fuel, low-pressure fuel lines must be bled
after installation.
CAUTION: When installing canister on filter mounting head, ensure tab
areas on outside of canister align with tabs on filter
mounting head. This must be done to prevent damage to
canister and filter mounting head.
4) Fill canister for fuel filter/water separator with diesel
fuel. Install canister with fuel filter/water separator on filter
mounting head. Ensure canister fully engages with filter mounting head
and tab areas on outside of canister align with tabs on filter
mounting head.
5) Install and tighten canister nut to specification. See
TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
6) To install remaining components, reverse removal
procedure. If canister was not filled with diesel fuel, bleed low-
pressure fuel lines before starting engine. See FUEL LINE BLEEDING
under FUEL SYSTEM. Start engine and check for fuel leaks.
FUEL TANK MODULE & IN-TANK FUEL FILTER
NOTE: In-tank fuel filter is located on bottom of fuel tank module
which also contains the fuel gauge sending unit. Fuel tank
module is mounted on top of fuel tank.

Introduction
The frequency of scheduled inspection and maintenance
services in this article are based on normal vehicle usage ONLY. The
following Severe conditions are NOT taken into account:
* Frequent short driving less than 5 Miles (8 Km).
* Frequent driving in dusty conditions.
* Frequent trailer towing.
* Extensive idling.
* More than 50% of your driving is at sustained high speeds
during hot weather, above 90
F (32 C).
If the vehicle is operated mainly under any of these
conditions, this Normal service schedule article is inadequate. DO NOT
USE. Instead, use the Severe service schedule: See

( 1) - Approximate quantity listed.
( 2) - On gasoline engines, use an API energy conserving engine oil
that is certified for gasoline engines. On diesel engines, use
engine oil with API CF-4/SH or CG-4/SH rating for diesel
engines.
( 3) - Add this amount of fluid. Start engine and shift transmission
through all gears and back to Neutral. Add additional fluid to
bring fluid level to the MIN mark on dipstick. Recheck fluid
level with transmission at normal operating temperature. Adjust
fluid level to MAX mark on dipstick. Approximate drain and

( 4) - Quantity may vary by type of oil cooler and oil cooler lines.
( 5) - Verify type of transmission used before servicing. The NV 3500
uses a flywheel housing which is an integral part of the

is bolted to the front of the transmission and transmission
contains a Power Take-Off (PTO) cover on passenger's side of
transmission.
( 6) - Heavy-duty transmission is used with 5.9L diesel and 8.0L.

changed.
( 9) - Models with Power-Lok limited slip differential must have 8 ozs.
(.24L) of Mopar Trac-Lok Friction Modifier added if lubricant is\
changed.
( 10 ) - Models with Trac-Lok limited slip differential must have Mopar
Trac-Lok Friction Modifier added if lubricant is changed. Add
7 ozs. (.24L) of modifier on 2WD models or 10 ozs. (.30L) on
4WD models.
( 11 ) - Use only Mopar power steering fluid. DO NOT use automatic
transmission fluid.
