FASTENER IDENTIFICATION
DESCRIPTION
The SAE bolt strength grades range from grade 2
to grade 8. The higher the grade number, the greater
the bolt strength. Identification is determined by the
line marks on the top of each bolt head. The actual
bolt strength grade corresponds to the number of line
marks plus 2. The most commonly used metric bolt
strength classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The metric
strength class identification number is imprinted on
the head of the bolt. The higher the class number,
the greater the bolt strength. Some metric nuts are
imprinted with a single-digit strength class on the
nut face. Refer to the Fastener Identification and
Fastener Strength Charts (Fig. 2) and (Fig. 3).

DESCRIPTION
PARTS AND LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS
Lubricating grease is rated for quality and usage
by the NLGI. All approved products have the NLGI
symbol (Fig. 1) on the label. At the bottom NLGI
symbol is the usage and quality identification letters.
Wheel bearing lubricant is identified by the letter
ªGº. Chassis lubricant is identified by the latter ªLº.
The letter following the usage letter indicates the
quality of the lubricant. The following symbols indi-
cate the highest quality.
When service is required, DaimlerChrysler Corpo-
ration recommends that only MOPARtbrand parts,
lubricants and chemicals be used. MOPARtprovides
the best engineered products for servicing
DaimlerChrysler Corporation vehicles.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID - NAG1
NOTE: Refer to Service Procedures in this group for
fluid level checking procedures.
Use ATF approved to MB 236.10, MB 236.12, such
as Shell ATF 3403/M-115, MOPARtpart number
05127382AA, Fuchs/Shell ATF 3353, or equivalent.
Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) is red in color
when new. The ATF is dyed red so it can be identified
from other fluids used in the vehicle such as engine
oil or antifreeze. The red color is not permanent and
is not an indicator of fluid condition. As the vehicle is
driven, the ATF will begin to look darker in color and
may eventually become brown.This is normal.
FLUID ADDITIVES
DaimlerChrysler strongly recommends against the
addition of any fluids to the transmission, other than
those automatic transmission fluids listed above.
Exceptions to this policy are the use of special dyes
to aid in detecting fluid leaks.
Various ªspecialº additives and supplements exist
that claim to improve shift feel and/or quality. These
additives and others also claim to improve converter
clutch operation and inhibit overheating, oxidation,
varnish, and sludge. These claims have not been sup-
ported to the satisfaction of DaimlerChrysler and
these additivesmust not be used.The use of trans-
mission ªsealersº should also be avoided, since they
may adversely affect the integrity of transmission
seals.

AXLE FLUID
Use oils approved to MB 235.0 or 235.6, such as
Shell Spirax MB90, Caltex Hypoid LD, or MOPARt
part number 4874469, or equivalent. An API GL-5/
MIL-2105-E SAE 90 Hypoid Gear Oil may be substi-
tuted. Reduced axle durability may result if an
unapproved product is used.
BRAKE FLUID
Use brake fluid approved to MB 331.0, such as
Intac B026D, MOPARtBrake & Clutch Fluid, part
number 04549625AC, or equivalent. If the approved
product is not available, use a DOT 4 brake fluid:
minimum dry boiling point (ERBP) 500ÉF, minimum
wet boiling point (WERBP) 356ÉF, maximum viscos-
ity 1500 mm
2/s, conforming to FMVSS 116 and ISO
4925.
HOAT COOLANT
WARNING: ANTIFREEZE IS AN ETHYLENE-GLYCOL
BASE COOLANT AND IS HARMFUL IF SWAL-
LOWED OR INHALED. IF SWALLOWED, DRINK
TWO GLASSES OF WATER AND INDUCE VOMIT-
ING. IF INHALED, MOVE TO FRESH AIR AREA.
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY. DO NOT
STORE IN OPEN OR UNMARKED CONTAINERS.
WASH SKIN AND CLOTHING THOROUGHLY AFTER
COMING IN CONTACT WITH ETHYLENE-GLYCOL.
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. DISPOSE OF
GLYCOL BASE COOLANT PROPERLY, CONTACT
YOUR DEALER OR GOVERNMENT AGENCY FOR
LOCATION OF COLLECTION CENTER IN YOUR
AREA. DO NOT OPEN A COOLING SYSTEM WHEN
THE ENGINE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE OR
HOT UNDER PRESSURE, PERSONAL INJURY CAN
RESULT. AVOID RADIATOR COOLING FAN WHEN
ENGINE COMPARTMENT RELATED SERVICE IS
PERFORMED, PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.
CAUTION: Use of Propylene-Glycol based coolants
is not recommended, as they provide less freeze
protection and less corrosion protection.
The cooling system is designed around the coolant.
The coolant must accept heat from engine metal, in
the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and
engine block. Then coolant carries the heat to the
radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the
heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder
heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion
protection. Use coolant approved to MB 325.0, such
as EURO Peak Coolant/Anti-freeze (OLD WORLD
INDUSTRIES), Zerex G05 or G48 (The Valvoline
Company), Glysantin G05 (BASF AG), MOPARtpart
number 05066386AA, or an equivalent Extended LifeCoolant with the HOAT inhibitor system. This cool-
ant offers the best engine cooling without corrosion
when mixed with 50% anti-freeze and 50% distilled
water to obtain a freeze point of -37ÉC (-34ÉF). If it
loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush,
and replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solu-
tion.
CAUTION: This coolant may not be mixed with any
other type of antifreeze. Mixing of coolants other
than specified (non-HOAT), may result in engine
damage that may not be covered under the new
vehicle warranty, and decreased corrosion protec-
tion.
CAUTION: Do not use coolant additives that are
claimed to improve engine cooling.
COOLANT PERFORMANCE
The required ethylene-glycol (antifreeze) and water
mixture depends upon climate and vehicle operating
conditions. The coolant performance of various mix-
tures follows:
Pure Water-Water can absorb more heat than a
mixture of water and ethylene-glycol. This is for pur-
pose of heat transfer only. Water also freezes at a
higher temperature and allows corrosion.
100 percent Ethylene-Glycol-The corrosion
inhibiting additives in ethylene-glycol need the pres-
ence of water to dissolve. Without water, additives
form deposits in system. These act as insulation
causing temperature to rise. The increased tempera-
ture can result in engine detonation. In addition, 100
percent ethylene-glycol freezes at -22ÉC (-8ÉF).
50/50 Ethylene-Glycol and Water-Is the recom-
mended mixture, it provides protection against freez-
ing to -37ÉC (-34ÉF). The antifreeze concentration
must alwaysbe a minimum of 44 percent, year-
round in all climates. If percentage is lower, engine
parts may be eroded by cavitation. Maximum protec-
tion against freezing is provided with a 68 percent
antifreeze concentration, which prevents freezing
down to -67.7ÉC (-90ÉF). A higher percentage will
freeze at a warmer temperature. Also, a higher per-
centage of antifreeze can cause the engine to over-
heat because specific heat of antifreeze is lower than
that of water.
CAUTION: Richer antifreeze mixtures cannot be
measured with normal field equipment and can
cause problems associated with 100 percent ethyl-
ene-glycol.

ENGINE OIL - DIESEL ENGINES
SAE VISCOSITY GRADE
CAUTION: Low viscosity oils must have the proper
API quality.
Only use engine oils that are labeled on the con-
tainer as meeting API (American Petroleum Insti-
tute) and/or DaimlerChrysler specifications MB
228.3, 228.5, 229.3, and 229.5, such as MOPARtSAE
15W-40 HD Diesel Engine Oil (e.g. MOPARtPart
No. 03798231AD), or equivalent.
Do not add any materials (other than leak detec-
tion dyes) to the engine oil. Engine oil is an engi-
neered product and it's performance may be impaired
by supplemental additives.
When topping off engine oil, only use oil of the
same quality grade and SAE classification.
Always refer to the following viscosity chart for the
proper viscosity grade based on ambient tempera-
ture. Select oil viscosity according to the lowest air
temperature expected before the next oil change.
The temperature limits given for the different SAE
classes should be regarded as guidelines which may
be exceeded temporarily to avoid excessively frequent
engine oil changes.
The following engine oils have been determined to

Other oils may meet requirements - see oil label to
determine
Use of the approved fluid is required if the
ASSYST Oil Service Reminder is followed. Use of a
lower quality oil on this service schedule may cause
severe engine damage.
FUEL REQUIREMENTS - DIESEL ENGINE
WARNING: Do not use alcohol or gasoline as a fuel
blending agent. They can be unstable under certain
conditions and hazardous or explosive when mixed
with diesel fuel.
Use only commercially available vehicular diesel
fuels No. 2 or No. 1 (ASTM D 975 No. 2-D or No.
1-D).
NOTE: Because of its better quality, the manufac-
turer recommends the use of commercially avail-
able vehicular diesel fuel No. 2.
DIESEL FUELS FOR USE AT VERY LOW TEMPERA-
TURE
At very low temperatures, the fluidity of No. 2 die-
sel fuel may become insufficient due to paraffin sep-
eration. For this reason, the vehicle comes equipped
with a fuel preheater. It permits trouble free engine
operation to a temperature of approximately 14ÉF
(-10ÉC) when using No. 2 diesel fuel.
To avoid malfunctions, No. 2 diesel fuel of a low-
ered cloud point is marketed during the cold season.
At temperatures below 14 ÉF (-10 ÉC) use winter-
ized or No. 1 diesel fuel only.
0 - 4 LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCEVA

Do not blend other specific fuel additives with die-
sel fuel. They only result in unnecessary cost, and
may be harmful to the engine operation.
POWER STEERING FLUID
No fluid service required. Filled with Power Steer-
ing Fluid approved to MB 236.3, such as Mobil
ATF-D (Exxon Mobil Corporation) or equivalent.
OPERATION - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FLUID
The automatic transmission fluid is selected based
upon several qualities. The fluid must provide a high
level of protection for the internal components by
providing a lubricating film between adjacent metal
components. The fluid must also be thermally stable
so that it can maintain a consistent viscosity through
a large temperature range. If the viscosity stays con-
stant through the temperature range of operation,
transmission operation and shift feel will remain con-
sistent. Transmission fluid must also be a good con-
ductor of heat. The fluid must absorb heat from the
internal transmission components and transfer that
heat to the transmission case.

booster battery, let the engine idle a few minutes,
then start the engine in the vehicle with the dis-
charged battery.
CAUTION: Do not crank starter motor on disabled
vehicle for more than 15 seconds, starter will over-
heat and could fail.
(7) Allow battery in disabled vehicle to charge to
at least 12.4 volts (75% charge) before attempting to
start engine. If engine does not start within 15 sec-
onds, stop cranking engine and allow starter to cool
(15 min.), before cranking again.
DISCONNECT CABLE CLAMPS AS FOLLOWS:
²Disconnect BLACK cable clamp from engine
ground on disabled vehicle.
²When using a Booster vehicle, disconnect
BLACK cable clamp from battery negative terminal.
Disconnect RED cable clamp from battery positive
terminal.
²Disconnect RED cable clamp from battery posi-
tive terminal on disabled vehicle.
TOWING
STANDARD PROCEDURE - TOWING
WARNING: Do not tow the vehicle if the key cannot
be turned in the ignition lock. If the key cannot be
turned, the ignition lock remains locked and the
vehicle cannot be steered. With the engine not run-
ning there is no power assistance for the braking
and steering systems. In this case, it is important to
keep in mind that a considerably higher degree of
effort is necessary to brake and steer the vehicle.
The vehicle must not be towed with the front axle
raised and the key in position 2 in the ignition lock
as the drive wheels could then lock due to the
acceleration skid control (ASR)
If the Engine is Damaged
For towing distances up to 30 miles (about 50
km)
²Shift selector lever in ªNº position.
²Do not exceed a towing speed of 30 m.p.h. (50
km/h).
For towing distances greater than 30 mile
(about 50 km)
²Remove the propeller shafts leading to the drive
axles. The vehicle can be towed without restriction.
If the Transmission is Damaged
²Remove the propeller shafts leading to the drive
axles. The vehicle can be towed without restriction.
If the Front Axle is Damaged
²Raise the front axle.
²Observe the same towing restrictions as for
engine damage.
If the Rear Axle is Damaged
²Raise the rear axle.
NOTE: Comply with local legal regulations regard-
ing towing vehicles.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
NOTE: The following safety precautions must be
observed when towing a vehicle.
²Secure loose and protruding parts.
²Always use a safety chain system that is inde-
pendent of the lifting and towing equipment.
