A MESSAGE FROM DAIMLERCHRYSLER

CORPORATION

DaimlerChrysler Corporation and Cummins welcome

you as a new Dodge Ram Cummins Turbo Diesel-

powered truck owner.

Almost 100% of the heavy duty trucks in the United

States are diesel powered because of the fuel economy,

rugged durability, and high torque which permits pulling

heavy loads. Cummins engines power well over half of

these trucks. Now this same technology and proven

performance is yours in your new Dodge Ram truck

equipped with the Cummins 5.9 liter, Turbocharged,

Charge Air Cooled, Diesel engine.

Your diesel truck will sound, feel, drive, and operate

differently from a gasoline-powered truck. It is important

that you read and understand this manual. You may find

that some of the starting, operating, and maintenance

procedures are different. However, they are simple to

follow and careful adherence to them will ensure that

you take full advantage of the features of this engine.

Thank you for choosing the Dodge Ram truck with

Cummins Turbo Diesel power.
