FILTER - FUEL / WATER SEPARATOR
DESCRIPTION
The fuel filter/water separator assembly is located on left side of engineabove the starter motor. The assembly also
includes the fuel heater, Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor and a screened banjobolt attached at the bottom of the fuel
filter canister.
OPERATION
The fuel filter/water separator protects the fuel injection pump by removing water and contaminants from the fuel.
The construction of the filter/separator allows fuel to pass through it, but helps prevent moisture (water) from doing
so. Moisture collects at the bottom of the canister.
Refer to the maintenance schedules in the owners manual for the recommended fuel filter replacement intervals.
For draining of water from canister, refer to Fuel Filter/Water SeparatorRemoval/Installation section.
There is a screened banjo bolt that is attached at the bottom of the fuel filter canister. It provides additional filtering
for the high pressure fuel system components.
A Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor is attached to the side of fuel filter housing. Refer to Water-In-Fuel Sensor Descrip-
tion/Operation.
The fuel heater is installed into the top of the filter/separator housing.Refer to Fuel Heater Description/Operation.
REMOVAL
Refer to maintenance schedules in this manual, or the
Owner’s Manual for recommended fuel filter replace-
ment intervals.
Draining water from fuel filter/water separator
housing:
The housing drain valve (9) serves two purposes. One
is topartiallydrain the filter housing of excess water.
The other is tocompletelydrain the housing for fuel
filter, drain valve, heater element or water-in-fuel sen-
sor replacement.
The filter housing should be partially drained when-
ever the water-in-fuel warning lamp remains illumi-
nated. (Note that lamp will be illuminated for
approximately two seconds when ignition key is ini-
tially placed in ON position for a bulb check).
1. A drain hose (7) is located at the bottom of drain
valve. Place drain pan under drain hose.
2.With engine not running,rotate drain valve han-
dle counter-clockwise (rearward) to OPEN (DRAIN)
position. Hold drain valve open until all water and
contaminants have been removed and clean fuel
exits.
3. If drain valve, fuel heater element or Water-In-Fuel (WIF) sensor is being replaced, drain housing completely.
Dispose of mixture in drain pan according to applicable regulations.
4. After draining operation, rotate valve handle clockwise (forward) to the CLOSE position.

MODULE - FUEL TANK
DESCRIPTION
.
The fuel tank module is installed in the top of the fuel tank. The fuel tank module contains the following compo-
nents:
An electric fuel transfer (lift) pump
Fuel reservoir
A separate in-tank fuel filter
Fuel gauge sending unit (fuel level sensor)
Fuel supply line connection
A special lockring to retain module to fuel tank
Fuel return line connection
OPERATION
Refer to Fuel Gauge Sending Unit.
REMOVAL
1. Drain and remove fuel tank (Refer to 14 - FUEL
SYSTEM/FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL TANK -
REMOVAL).
2. Note rotational position of module before attempt-
ing removal. An indexing arrow is located on top of
module for this purpose.
3. Position Special Tool 9340 (3) into notches on out-
side edge of lockring (5).
4. Install 1/2 inch drive breaker bar (1) to tool 9340
(3).
5. Rotate breaker bar counterclockwise to remove
lockring.
6. Remove lockring. The module will spring up slightly
when lockring is removed.
7. Remove module from fuel tank. Be careful not to
bend float arm while removing.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION: Whenever the fuel pump module is serviced, the rubber seal (gasket) must be replaced.
Page 2372 of 5267

1. Using a new seal (gasket), position fuel pump mod-
uleintoopeninginfueltank.
2. Position lockring (5) over top of fuel pump module.
3. Rotate module until embossed alignment arrow
points to center alignment mark. This step must be
performed to prevent float from contacting side of
fuel tank. Also be sure fuel fitting on top of pump
module is pointed to drivers side of vehicle.
4. Install Special Tool 9340 (3) to lockring.
5. Install 1/2 inch drive breaker (1) into Special Tool
9340 (3).
6. Tighten lockring (clockwise) until all seven notches
have engaged.
7. Install fuel tank (Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/
FUEL DELIVERY/FUEL TANK - INSTALLATION).

ACTUATOR - FUEL CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is located at the rear
of the high-pressure, fuel injection pump (2).
OPERATION
The Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) is an electronically controlled solenoidvalve. The ECM controls the amount of fuel
that enters the high-pressure pumping chambers by opening and closing theFCA based on a demanded fuel pres-
sure. When the FCA is opened, the maximum amount of fuel is being supplied tothe fuel injection pump. Any fuel
that does not enter the injection pump is directed to the cascade overflow valve. The cascade overflow valve reg-
ulates how much excess fuel is used for lubrication of the pump and how much is returned to the fuel tank through
the drain manifold.
An audible click from the FCA is normal when operating the key from the ON to the OFF position.
REMOVAL
1. Remove the cap srews and Fuel Control Actuator (FCA).
2. Twist and pull FCA to remove.
INSTALLATION
1. Lubricate the new Fuel Control Actuator (FCA) o-ring with clean oil before installation.
2. Turn the FCA in a clockwise direction while pressing it into the bore. Be sure that the FCA flange is flush with the
mounting surface on the Fuel Injection Pump.
3. Install the capscrews by hand.
4. Then tighten capscrews to 7Nm (62 in-lbs).

DESCRIPTION - SRT10
The SRT-10 column has noSTARTposition on the key cylinder. The push starter button switch is mounted on the
Instrument panel center stack. All SRT-10 columns are Tilt columns, Standard cab trucks come with manual trans-
missions, Quad cab trucks come equipped with automatic transmissions.
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
STEERING COLUMN
If the vehicle is involved in a front end collision/the air bag has deployedthe column must be inspected. This
inspection will determine if the Column has collapsed. Inspect the columnmounting capsules visually and manually
push and pull them to check for separation or fractures. If capsules are fractured or have moved the column MUST
be replaced.
REMOVAL
WARNING: Before servicing the steering column the airbag system must be disarmed. Refer to electrical
restraint system for service procedures. Failure to do so may result in accidental deployment of the airbag
and possible personal injury.
CAUTION: All fasteners must be torqued to specification to ensure proper operation of the steering column.
1. Position the front wheelsstraight ahead.
2. Disconnect the negative (ground) cable from the battery.
3. Remove the airbag, (Refer to 8 - ELECTRICAL/RE-
STRAINTS/DRIVER AIRBAG - REMOVAL).
4. Remove the steering wheel (1) with special tool
CJ98–1 (2) or an appropriate steering wheel puller.
(Refer to 19 - STEERING/COLUMN/STEERING
WHEEL - REMOVAL).
CAUTION: Ensure the puller bolts are fully
engaged into the steering wheel and not into the
clockspring, before attempting to remove the
wheel. Failure to do so may damage the steering
wheel/clockspring.
