ROLLOVER VALVE
DESCRIPTION
Diesel Powered Engine:One rollover valve is
used. The rollover valve is located on the top of the
fuel tank module (Fig. 49). The valve may be serviced
separately.
Gasoline Powered Engines:If equipped with a
26 or 34 gallon fuel tank, two rollover valves are
used. One of the valves is permanently mounted to
the top of fuel tank (Fig. 50). If replacement of this
particular valve is necessary, the fuel tank must be
replaced. The other rollover valve is located on the
top of the fuel pump module (Fig. 50). This valve
may be serviced separately. If replacement is neces-
sary, refer to the Removal/Installation section of this
group.
If equipped with a 35 gallon fuel tank, two rollover
valves are used. Both valves are permanently
mounted to the top of fuel tank (Fig. 51). If replace-
ment is necessary, the fuel tank must be replaced.

on preprogrammed (fixed) values and inputs from
other sensors.
Upstream Sensors:Two upstream sensors are
used (1/1 and 2/1). The 1/1 sensor is the first sensor
to receive exhaust gases from the #1 cylinder. They
provide an input voltage to the PCM. The input tells
the PCM the oxygen content of the exhaust gas. The
PCM uses this information to fine tune fuel delivery
to maintain the correct oxygen content at the down-
stream oxygen sensors. The PCM will change the air/
fuel ratio until the upstream sensors input a voltage
that the PCM has determined will make the down-
stream sensors output (oxygen content) correct.
The upstream oxygen sensors also provide an input
to determine mini-catalyst efficiency. Main catalytic
convertor efficiency is not calculated with this pack-
age.
Downstream Sensors:Two downstream sensors
are used (1/2 and 2/2). The downstream sensors are
used to determine the correct air-fuel ratio. As the
oxygen content changes at the downstream sensor,
the PCM calculates how much air-fuel ratio change is
required. The PCM then looks at the upstream oxy-
gen sensor voltage, and changes fuel delivery until
the upstream sensor voltage changes enough to cor-
rect the downstream sensor voltage (oxygen content).
The downstream oxygen sensors also provide an
input to determine mini-catalyst efficiency. Main cat-
alytic convertor efficiency is not calculated with this
package.
Medium and Heavy Duty 8.0L V-10 Engine:
Four oxygen sensors are used (2 upstream, 1 pre-cat-
alyst and 1 post-catalyst). The upstream sensors (1/1
and 2/1) will fine-tune the air-fuel ratio through the
Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The pre-catalyst
(1/2) and post-catalyst (1/3) sensors will determine
catalytic convertor efficiency (efficiency of the main
catalytic convertor). This is also done through the
PCM.
Heavy Duty 5.9L Engine:Downstream sensors
are not used with this emissions package, meaning
catalytic convertor efficiency is not calculated with
this package. Two upstream sensors are used. The
left upstream sensor (1/1) will monitor cylinders 1, 3,
5 and 7. The right upstream sensor (2/1) will monitor
cylinders 2, 4, 6 and 8. The PCM monitors the oxy-
gen content of the sensors, and will fine-tune the air-
fuel ratio.
Engines equipped with either a downstream sen-
sor(s), or a post-catalytic sensor, will monitor cata-
lytic convertor efficiency. If efficiency is below
emission standards, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp
(MIL) will be illuminated and a Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) will be set. Refer to Monitored Systems
in Emission Control Systems for additional informa-
tion.REMOVAL
Never apply any type of grease to the oxygen
sensor electrical connector, or attempt any sol-
dering of the sensor wiring harness. For sensor
operation, it must have a comparison source of
oxygen from outside the exhaust system. This
fresh air is supplied to the sensor through its
pigtail wiring harness.
The O2S (oxygen sensors) are numbered 1/1, 1/2,
1/3, 2/1 and 2/2.
On HDC engines, the pre-catalyst/post catalyst
O2S sensors are located at the inlet and outlet ends
of the catalytic converter (Fig. 39).
The 1/1 and 2/1 sensors are located before the
mini-cats (Fig. 40). The 1/2 and 2/2 sensors are
located after the mini-cats (Fig. 40).

FUEL TRANSFER PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The fuel transfer pump (fuel lift pump) is located
on the left-rear side of the engine cylinder block
above the starter motor (Fig. 50). The 12±volt electric
vane-type pump is operated and controlled by the
Engine Control Module (ECM) (Fig. 51).
OPERATION
The purpose of the fuel transfer pump is to supply
(transfer) a low-pressure fuel source:fromthe fuel
tank,throughthe fuel filter/water separator andto
the fuel injection pump. Here, the low-pressure is
raised to a high-pressure by the fuel injection pump
for operation of the high-pressure fuel injectors.
Check valves within the pump, control direction of
fuel flow and prevent fuel bleed-back during engine
shut down.
Normal current flow to the pump is 12 amperes.
With the engine running, the pump has2modes of
operation: Mode 1: 100 percent duty-cycle with a
minimum pressure of 10 psiexcept when the
engine is cranking.Mode 2: 25 percent duty-cycle
with minimum pressure of 7 psiwith the engine
cranking
The 25 percent duty-cycle is used to limit injection
pump inlet pressure until the engine is running.

PUMP
DESCRIPTION
The P-Series pump is used on these vehicles (Fig.
1). The pump shaft has a pressed-on pulley that is
belt driven by the crankshaft pulley on gasoline
engines. The pump is driven off the back of the vac-
uum pump on the diesel engine.
Trailer tow option vehicles are equipped with a
power steering pump oil cooler. The oil cooler is
mounted to the front crossmember.
NOTE: Power steering pumps are not interchange-
able with pumps installed on other vehicles.
OPERATION
Hydraulic pressure is provided by the pump for the
power steering gear. The power steering pump is a
constant flow rate and displacement, vane-type
pump. The pump is connected to the steering gear
via the pressure hose and the return hose. On vehi-
cles equipped with a hydraulic booster, the pump
supplies the hydraulic pressure for the booster.

seat bushings correctly. The bushing replacement
tools are included in Bushing Tool Set C-3887-B.
Pre-sized service bushings are available for
replacement purposes. Only the sun gear bushings
are not serviced.
The use of crocus cloth is permissible where neces-
sary, providing it is used carefully. When used on
shafts, or valves, use extreme care to avoid rounding
off sharp edges. Sharp edges are vital as they pre-
vent foreign matter from getting between the valve
and valve bore.
Do not reuse oil seals, gaskets, seal rings, or
O-rings during overhaul. Replace these parts as a
matter of course. Also do not reuse snap rings or
E-clips that are bent or distorted. Replace these parts
as well.
ASSEMBLY
Do not allow dirt, grease, or foreign material to
enter the case or transmission components during
assembly. Keep the transmission case and compo-
nents clean. Also make sure the tools and workbench
area used for assembly operations are equally clean.
Shop towels used for wiping off tools and hands
must be made fromlint freematerial. Lint will stick
to transmission parts and could interfere with valve
operation, or even restrict fluid passages.
Lubricate the transmission components with
Moparttransmission fluid during reassembly. Use
MopartDoor Ease, or Ru-GlydeŸ on seals and
O-rings to ease installation.
Petroleum jelly can also be used to hold thrust
washers, thrust plates and gaskets in position during
assembly. However,do notuse chassis grease, bear-
ing grease, white grease, or similar lubricants on any
transmission part. These types of lubricants can
eventually block or restrict fluid passages and inter-
fere with valve operation. Use petroleum jelly only.
Do not force parts into place. The transmission
components and subassemblies are easily installed by
hand when properly aligned.
If a part seems extremely difficult to install, it is
either misaligned or incorrectly assembled. Also ver-
ify that thrust washers, thrust plates and seal rings
are correctly positioned before assembly. These parts
can interfere with proper assembly if mis-positioned.
The planetary geartrain, front/rear clutch assem-
blies and oil pump are all much easier to install
when the transmission case is upright.

ELECTRONIC GOVERNOR
DESCRIPTION
Governor pressure is controlled electronically. Com-
ponents used for governor pressure control include:
²Governor body
²Valve body transfer plate
²Governor pressure solenoid valve
²Governor pressure sensor
²Fluid temperature thermistor
²Throttle position sensor (TPS)
²Transmission speed sensor
²Powertrain control module (PCM)
GOVERNOR PRESSURE SOLENOID VALVE
The solenoid valve is a duty-cycle solenoid which
regulates the governor pressure needed for upshifts
and downshifts. It is an electro-hydraulic device
located in the governor body on the valve body trans-
fer plate (Fig. 66).
GOVERNOR PRESSURE SENSOR
The governor pressure sensor measures output
pressure of the governor pressure solenoid valve (Fig.
67).
GOVERNOR BODY AND TRANSFER PLATE
The transfer plate is designed to supply transmis-
sion line pressure to the governor pressure solenoid
valve and to return governor pressure.
The governor pressure solenoid valve is mounted in
the governor body. The body is bolted to the lower
side of the transfer plate (Fig. 67).
GOVERNOR PRESSURE CURVES
There are four governor pressure curves pro-
grammed into the transmission control module. The
different curves allow the control module to adjust
governor pressure for varying conditions. One curve
is used for operation when fluid temperature is at, or
below, ±1ÉC (30ÉF). A second curve is used when fluid
temperature is at, or above, 10ÉC (50ÉF) during nor-
mal city or highway driving. A third curve is used
during wide-open throttle operation. The fourth curve
is used when driving with the transfer case in low
range.
OPERATION
Compensation is required for performance varia-
tions of two of the input devices. Though the slope of
the transfer functions is tightly controlled, offset may
vary due to various environmental factors or manu-
facturing tolerances.
The pressure transducer is affected by barometric
pressure as well as temperature. Calibration of the
zero pressure offset is required to compensate for
shifting output due to these factors.
Normal calibration will be performed when sump
temperature is above 50 degrees F, or in the absence
of sump temperature data, after the first 10 minutes
of vehicle operation. Calibration of the pressure
transducer offset occurs each time the output shaft
speed falls below 200 RPM. Calibration shall be
repeated each 3 seconds the output shaft speed is
below 200 RPM. A 0.5 second pulse of 95% duty cycle
