HEAT SHIELDS
DESCRIPTION
There are two types of heat shields used. One is
stamped steel the other is molded foil sheets. The
shields attach to the vehicle around the exhaust sys-
tem to prevent heat from the exhaust system from
entering the passenger area and other areas where
the heat can cause damage to other components.
REMOVAL
(1) Raise and support the vehicle.
(2) Remove the nuts or bolts holding the exhaust
heat shield to the floor pan, crossmember or bracket.
(3) Slide the shield out around the exhaust system.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the exhaust heat shield to the floor
pan, crossmember or bracket and install the nuts or
bolts.
(2) Tighten the nuts and bolts 11 N´m (100 in.
lbs.).
(3) Lower the vehicle.

The turbocharger is lubricated by engine oil that is
pressurized, cooled, and filtered. The oil is delivered
to the turbocharger by a supply line that is tapped
into the oil filter head. The oil travels into the bear-
ing housing, where it lubricates the shaft and bear-
ings (Fig. 22). A return pipe at the bottom of the
bearing housing, routes the engine oil back to the
crankcase.
The most common turbocharger failure is bearing
failure related to repeated hot shutdowns with inad-
equate ªcool-downº periods. A sudden engine shut
down after prolonged operation will result in the
transfer of heat from the turbine section of the tur-
bocharger to the bearing housing. This causes the oilto overheat and break down, which causes bearing
and shaft damage the next time the vehicle is
started.
Letting the engine idle after extended operation
allows the turbine housing to cool to normal operat-
ing temperature. The following chart should be used
as a guide in determining the amount of engine idle
time required to sufficiently cool down the turbo-
charger before shut down, depending upon the type
of driving and the amount of cargo.
REMOVAL
(1) Disconnect the battery negative cables.
(2) Raise vehicle on hoist.
(3) Disconnect the exhaust pipe from the turbo-
charger elbow (Fig. 23).
(4) Lower vehicle.
(5) Disconnect the turbocharger air inlet hose (Fig.
24).
(6) Disconnect the turbocharger oil supply line and
the oil drain tube from the turbocharger (Fig. 25).
(7) Disconnect the charge air cooler inlet pipe from
the turbocharger (Fig. 25).
(8) Remove the turbocharger and gasket from the
exhaust manifold.
(9) If the turbocharger is not to be installed imme-
diately, cover the opening to prevent material from
entering into the manifold.
(10) If replacing the turbocharger, transfer the dis-
charge elbow and clamp to the new assembly.
(11) Clean and inspect the sealing surface.

CAUTION: The turbocharger is only serviced as an
assembly. Do not attempt to repair the turbocharger
as turbocharger and/or engine damage can result.
CLEANING
Clean the turbocharger and exhaust manifold
mounting surfaces with a suitable scraper.
INSPECTION
Visually inspect the turbocharger and exhaust
manifold gasket surfaces. Replace stripped or eroded
mounting studs.
(1) Visually inspect the turbocharger for cracks.
The following cracks are NOT acceptable:
²Cracks in the turbine and compressor housing
that go completely through.
²Cracks in the mounting flange that are longer
than 15 mm (0.6 in.).
²Cracks in the mounting flange that intersect
bolt through-holes.
²Two (2) Cracks in the mounting flange that are
closer than 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) together.
(2) Visually inspect the impeller and compressor
wheel fins for nicks, cracks, or chips. Note: Some
impellers may have a factory placed paint mark
which, after normal operation, appears to be a crack.
Remove this mark with a suitable solvent to verify
that it is not a crack.
(3) Visually inspect the turbocharger compressor
housing for an impeller rubbing condition (Fig. 26).
Replace the turbocharger if the condition exists.
(4) Measure the turbocharger axial end play:

(b) Move the impeller shaft fore and aft and
record the measurement. Allowable end play is
0.038 mm (0.0015 in.) MIN. and 0.089 mm (0.0035
in.) MAX. If the recorded measurement falls out-
side these parameters, replace the turbocharger
assembly.
(5) Measure the turbocharger bearing radial clear-
ance:
(a) Insert a narrow blade or wire style feeler
gauge between the compressor wheel and the hous-
ing (Fig. 28).
(b) Gently push the compresser wheel toward
the housing and record the clearance.
(c) With the feeler gauge in the same location,
gently push the compressor wheel away from the
housing and again record the clearance.
(d) Subtract the smaller clearance from the
larger clearance. This is the radial bearing clear-
ance.
(e) Allowable radial bearing clearance is 0.326
mm (0.0128 in.) MIN. and 0.496 mm (0.0195 in.)
MAX. If the recorded measurement falls outside
these specifications, replace the turbocharger assy.

WARNING: BEFORE PROCEEDING TO NEXT STEP,
NOTE THE FUEL PUMP WILL BE ACTIVATED AND
SYSTEM PRESSURE WILL BE PRESENT. THIS WILL
OCCUR AFTER CONNECTING TEST LEADS FROM
LCS ADAPTER INTO FUEL PUMP RELAY CAVITIES.
THE FUEL PUMP WILL OPERATE EVEN WITH IGNI-
TION KEY IN OFF POSITION. BEFORE ATTACHING
TEST LEADS, BE SURE ALL FUEL LINES AND
FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE CONNECTED.
CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the vehi-
cle electrical system and LCS adapter, the test
leads must be connected into relay cavities exactly
as shown in following steps.
Depending upon vehicle model, year or engine con-
figuration, three different types of relays may be
used: Type-1, type-2 and type±3.
(14) If equipped withtype±1 relay(Fig. 13),
attach test leads from LCS adapter into PDC relay
cavities number 30 and 87. For location of these cav-
ities, refer to numbers stamped to bottom of relay
(Fig. 13).
(15) If equipped withtype±2 relay(Fig. 14),
attach test leads from LCS adapter into PDC relay
cavities number 30 and 87. For location of these cav-
ities, refer to numbers stamped to bottom of relay
(Fig. 14).
(16) If equipped withtype±3 relay(Fig. 15),
attach test leads from LCS adapter into PDC relay
cavities number 3 and 5. For location of these cavi-
ties, refer to numbers stamped to bottom of relay
(Fig. 15).
(17) When LCS adapter test leads are attached
into relay cavities, fuel pumpwill be activated.
Determine fuel pump amperage on DRB screen.
Amperage should be below 10.0 amps. If amperage is
below 10.0 amps, and specifications for the Fuel
Pump Pressure, Fuel Pump Capacity and Fuel Pres-
sure Leak Down tests were met, the fuel pump mod-
ule is OK.
(18) If amperage is more than 10.0 amps, replace
fuel pump module assembly. The electric fuel pump
is not serviced separately.
(19) Disconnect test leads from relay cavities
immediately after testing.

FUEL TANK
DESCRIPTION
The fuel tank is constructed of a plastic material.
Its main functions are for fuel storage and for place-
ment of the fuel pump module.
OPERATION
All models pass a full 360 degree rollover test
without fuel leakage. To accomplish this, fuel and
vapor flow controls are required for all fuel tank con-
nections.
A fuel tank check valve(s) is mounted into the top
of the fuel tank (or pump module). Refer to Emission
Control System for fuel tank check valve information.
An evaporation control system is connected to the
rollover valve(s) to reduce emissions of fuel vapors
into the atmosphere. When fuel evaporates from the
fuel tank, vapors pass through vent hoses or tubes to
a charcoal canister where they are temporarily held.
When the engine is running, the vapors are drawn
into the intake manifold. Certain models are also
equipped with a self-diagnosing system using a Leak
Detection Pump (LDP). Refer to Emission Control
System for additional information.
REMOVAL
WARNING: GASOLINE POWERED ENGINES: THE
FUEL SYSTEM IS UNDER A CONSTANT PRESSURE
EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF. BEFORE SERVICING
THE FUEL TANK, FUEL SYSTEM PRESSURE MUST
BE RELEASED. REFER TO THE FUEL SYSTEM
PRESSURE RELEASE PROCEDURE BEFORE SER-
VICING THE FUEL TANK.
Two different procedures may be used to drain fuel
tank (lowering tank or using DRB scan tool). When
equipped with a diesel engine, the DRB scan tool
cannot be used (no electric fuel pump).
The quickest draining procedure involves lowering
the fuel tank.
Gasoline Powered Engines:As an alternative
procedure, the electric fuel pump may be activated
allowing tank to be drained at fuel rail connection.
Refer to DRB scan tool for fuel pump activation pro-
cedures. Before disconnecting fuel line at fuel rail,
release fuel pressure. Refer to the Fuel System Pres-
sure Release Procedure in this group for procedures.
