INSPECTION
The lower suspension arm bushings can be visually
inspected by raising the vehicle on a hoist and in
specting from underneath. The upper suspension arm
bushings can be inspected after removing the front
wheels. If failure exists, replace the bushing (refer to
Group 2—Front Suspension for the proper proce

GENERAL INFORMATION
Two types of master cylinder are used on AD mod
els. A two-section master cylinder with a removable
reservoir is used on D and W150/250 models (Fig. 1).
An integral (one-piece) master cylinder with built-in
fluid reservoirs is used on D and W 250/350 heavy
duty models (Fig. 2).
Two-Section Master Cylinder

The two-section master cylinder consists of the cyl
inder body and a removable fluid reservoir. The pri
mary and secondary pistons are located in t h e
aluminum body section. The removable reservoir is
made of nylon reinforced with glass fiber and is t h e
only serviceable component.
The fluid compartments of t h e nylon reservoir are
interconnected to permit fluid level equalization.
However, t h e equalization feature does not affect cir
cuit separation in t h e event of a front/rear hydraulic
system malfunction. The reservoir compartments are
designed to retain t h e necessary quantity of fluid
needed to operate t h e functioning circuit.
Care must be exercised when removing/installing
the master cylinder connecting lines. The threads in
the fluid ports can be damaged if care is not prac
ticed. Start all brake line fittings by hand to avoid
cross threading.

GENERAL INFORMATION VACUUM

The power brake booster vacuum pump and the PUMP
power steering pump are combined into a single as
sembly on diesel models (Fig. 1). Both pumps are op
erated by a drive gear attached to the vacuum pump
shaft.
The vacuum pump is a constant displacement,
vane-type pump. Vacuum is generated by four vanes
mounted in the pump rotor. The rotor is located in
the pump housing and is pressed onto the pump
shaft.
The vacuum and steering pumps are operated by a
single drive gear pressed onto the vacuum pump
shaft. The drive gear is operated by the camshaft
gear.

VACUUM PUMP DIAGNOSIS

Vacuum pump diagnosis involves checking pump
output with a vacuum gauge. The low vacuum warn
ing switch can also be checked with a vacuum gauge.
Refer to the diagnosis procedure in this section.
A standard vacuum gauge can be used to check
pump output when necessary. Simply disconnect the
pump supply hose and connect a vacuum gauge to
the outlet port for testing purposes. Vacuum should
hold steady in a range of approximately 8.5 to 25
inches at various engine speeds.
DIAGNOSING LOW VACUUM OUTPUT

CONDITION
A low booster vacuum condition or a faulty low
vacuum warning switch will cause the brake warn
ing light to illuminate. If the light does go on and in
dicates the existence of a low vacuum condition,
check the vacuum pump, booster and warning switch
as follows:

DISC BRAKE COMPONENTS
The Chrysler disc brake consists of a sliding type,
single piston caliper and a ventilated disc brake rotor
(Figs. 1 and 2).
Each caliper is mounted on an adapter attached to
the steering knuckle (Fig. 2). Each- caliper slide lat
erally on surfaces machined on the caliper and
mounting adapter. The adapters support the caliper
and maintain fore and aft alignment of the caliper
and brakeshoes. Two retainer clips are used to main
tain caliper alignment but permit lateral movement
needed for caliper operation.
Non-metallic caliper pistons are used for all applica
tions. The pistons are made of a phenolic resin material.
Ventilated, cast iron disc brake rotors are used for all SHIELD RK72
applications. The rotors are serviceable and can be ma
chined to restore surface finish when necessary. Fig. 2 Chrysler Disc Brake Caliper Mounting—Front
View
The outboard brake shoe has flanges t h a t locate
and position the shoe on the caliper fingers (Fig. 3).
Braking force on this shoe is taken by the caliper.
The inboard shoe is held in position by the adapter
and reacts directly on the adapter.
The caliper is a one-piece casting with the inboard
side containing the single piston cylinder bore (Fig.
3). A square cut piston seal is located in a machined
groove in the cylinder bore. A rubber dust boot is
used to prevent dirt, water, road splash from enter
ing the caliper piston bore. The boot is located in a
counterbore machined into the outboard end of the
caliper piston bore.
DISC BRAKE OPERATION

The significant feature of caliper operation is that the
caliper is free to move laterally on the slide surfaces.

GENERAL SERVICE INFORMATION

The Bendix disc brake assembly consists of a single
piston, sliding type caliper and ventilated rotor (Fig. 1).
A splash shield is used to protect the rotor. The
shield is bolted to the adapter and protects the bear
ings and inboard surface of the rotor from road
splash. The wheel protects the outboard surface of
the rotor and brake assembly.
The caliper slides laterally on surfaces machined
into the caliper and mounting adapter. The adapter
is bolted to the steering knuckle (Fig. 2). The caliper
is positioned in the adapter with a support key and
spring (Fig. 1). A retaining screw is used to secure
the support key.
The inboard brakeshoe is mounted in the caliper
adapter. The outboard brakeshoe is mounted in the
caliper. The linings are riveted to the shoes, and the
inner and outer shoes are not interchangeable.
DISC BRAKE OPERATION

The significant feature of caliper operation is t h a t
the caliper is free to move laterally on the adapter Fig. 2 Caliper Mounting Adapter Attachment
slide surfaces (Fig. 3).
At brake application, fluid pressure is exerted
equally against the caliper piston and all surfaces of
the caliper piston bore.
Pressure applied to the piston is transmitted di
rectly to the inboard brakeshoe pressing the shoe lin
ing against the rotor. At the same time, pressure
applied to the caliper bore surfaces, causes the cali
per to slide inward laterally. The inward movement
presses the lining of the outboard shoe against the
opposite side of the rotor to complete braking action
(Fig. 3).
Any application or release of brake fluid pressure
causes only a very modest movement of the caliper
and piston. At brake release, the piston and caliper
return to the non-applied position.
The brakeshoes do not retract an appreciable dis
tance from the rotor. The minimal running clearance
provides the improved response and reduced pedal
travel; It also helps in preventing dirt and foreign
material from lodging between the shoe and rotor
surfaces.

ROTOR THICKNESS VARIATION

Variations in rotor thickness will cause pedal pul

Measure rotor thickness at 6 to 12 points around
the rotor face (Fig. 18). Position the micrometer ap
proximately 25.4 mm (1 in.) from the rotor outer cir
cumference for each measurement (Figs. 17 and 19).
Thickness should not vary by more t h a n 0.025 mm

or replace the rotor if necessary.
ROTOR RUNOUT
Check rotor lateral runout with Dial Indicator
C-3339 (Fig. 18). Excessive lateral runout will cause
brake pedal pulsation and rapid, uneven wear of the
brakeshoes.

The lathe should also be equipped with a grinder

If the rotor surfaces only need minor cleanup of
rust, scale, or scoring, use abrasive discs to clean up
the rotor surfaces. However, when a rotor is scored or
worn, machining with cutting tools will be required.

SPEED SENSOR AND EXCITER RING
A single pole, variable reluctance speed sensor is
used to transmit speed and rate of deceleration in
puts to the control module (Fig. 4). The sensor is ac
tuated by an exiter ring on the differential case.
The sensor is mounted at the top of the rear axle
housing directly over the gear-type exiter ring (Fig.
1). The exciter ring is pressed onto the differential
case next to the ring gear.
The exciter ring is the sensor trigger mechanism.
As the ring rotates, the teeth on the ring will inter
rupt the magnetic field around the sensor pole. The
rate of interruption is converted into speed signals
which are transmitted to the control module.
Fig. 2 Antilock Electronic Control Module

RWAL HYDRAULIC VALVE
The hydraulic valve is a pressure controlling device
and is operated by the electronic module. The valve
controls fluid apply pressure to the rear brake units
during antilock mode braking (Fig. 3). The valve is
mounted on the driver side frame rail at the front of
the vehicle.
The valve contains an accumulator, an isolation
valve and a dump valve. The accumulator is operated
by fluid and spring pressure. The two valves are op
erated by electrical solenoids. The solenoids are oper
ated by the antilock control module.
The hydraulic valve components are inactive dur

THERMOSTAT OPERATION-EXCEPT DIESEL

The thermostat controls the operating temperature
of the engine by controlling the amount of coolant
flow to the radiator. The thermostat is closed below
88°C (192°F). When the coolant reaches this temper
ature, the thermostat begins to open, allowing cool
ant flow to the radiator. This provides quick engine
warm-up and overall temperature control. The ther
mostat is designed to provide a minimum engine op
erating temperature of 88 to 93°C (192 to 199°F). It
should be fully open for maximum coolant flow dur
ing operation in hot ambient temperatures of approx
imately 104°C (220°F). Above 104°C (220°F), coolant
temperature is controlled by the radiator, fan and

STARTER SERVICE PROCEDURES
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section will cover the Starter removal and in
stallation. For diagnostic procedures, see Group 8A -
Battery/Starting/Charging Systems Diagnostics.
STARTING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

The starter system circuits consist of:
• a battery
• engine starter motor and solenoid
• starter relay
• ignition switch
© park/neutral position switch (automatic transmis
sion)
• clutch interlock switch (manual transmission-die-
sel)
• connecting wires and battery cables.
Turning the ignition switch to the start position,
causes the starter relay points to close allowing cur
rent to energize solenoid windings. This causes sole
noid plunger and clutch shift lever to move engaging
clutch pinion gear into ring gear. At the same time
the solenoid contacts close causing starter motor to
crank. As soon as engine starts running clutch pin
ion gear overruns to protect starter armature from
damage due to excessive speed. Once the engine
starts running, the ignition key switch should be im
mediately returned to the run position to prevent ex
cessive starter motor damage.

GENERAL INFORMATION
Electrically-operated remote control mirrors are
available as an option on D-body vehicles. The mir
rors are controlled by a single switch assembly lo
cated on the instrument panel to the right of t h e
headlamp switch (Fig. 1).
D-body vehicles use a toggle-type switch. The
switch is rotated clockwise (Right mirror) or counter
clockwise (Left mirror) for mirror selection. The
switch is moved UP, DOWN, RIGHT, or LEFT for
mirror movement direction.
The motors which operate the mirrors are part of
the mirror assembly and cannot be serviced sepa
rately.

CHARGE AIR COOLER (INTERCOOLER)
Intake air is drawn through the air cleaner and
into the turbocharger compressor housing. Pressur
ized air from the turbocharger then flows forward
through the charge air cooler (intercooler) located in
front of the radiator. From the charge air cooler (in
tercooler) the air flows back into the intake manifold.
The charge air cooler (intercooler) is a heat ex
changer that uses air flow to dissipate heat from the
intake air. As the turbocharger increases air pres
sure, the air temperature increases. Lowering the in
take air temperature increases engine efficiency and
power.

• Low and high pressure fuel supply lines
• Mechanical lift pump
• Fuel/water separator filter
• Fuel heater
• Fuel injection pump
• Fuel injectors
• Fuel return lines

can consume, the outlet check valve is held closed.
The fuel gathered in lift pump chamber prevents the
diaphragm from relaxing. The lever will continue to
move up and down on the shaft connecting it to the
diaphragm. However, the lever is prevented from op

opens to expel fuel from the pump chamber. This pro

Minimum lift pump output pressure is 21 Kpa (3
psi). Lift pump output volume is 0.75 liters (0.70 U.S.
quarts) per 30 seconds of engine cranking.

OUTPUT RELAYS
The PCM activates the A/C compressor through the

operation by switching the ground circuit for the A/C
clutch relay on and off. The relay is located in the
engine compartment (Fig. 3).
By switching the ground path for the relay on and
off, the PCM is able to cycle the A/C compressor
clutch. This is based on changes in engine operating
conditions. If, during A/C operation, the PCM senses
a low idle speed, it will de-energize the relay. This
prevents A/C clutch engagement. The relay will re

POWER STEERING PUMP

Hydraulic pressure is provided by a belt driven
power steering pump. The power steering pump is a
constant flow rate and displacement, vane-type
pump. The internal parts t h a t are inside the housing
operate submerged in fluid. The flow control orifice is
part of the pressure line union. The pressure relief
valve inside t h e flow control valve limits t h e pump
pressure.
The power steering pump is connected to the steer
ing gear via t h e pressure hose and t h e return hose.

POWER STEERING SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS
P U M P NOISI
There is some noise in all power steering systems. One of the most common is a hissing sound evident at standstill parking. Hiss is
a high frequency noise similar to that experienced while slowly closing a water tap. The noise is present in every valve and results
from high velocityfluidpassing valve orifice edges. There is no relationship between this noise and performance of the steering.
Hiss may be expected when steering wheel is at end of travel or when slowly turning at standstill.

COVER Transmission disengagement may be caused by
misaligned or damaged shift components, or worn
teeth on the mainshaft gears or synchro components.
Incorrect assembly will also contribute to gear disen
gagement.
LOW LUBRICANT LEWEL

Insufficient transmission lubricant is usually the
result of leaks, or inaccurate fluid level check or re
fill method.
Leaks will be evident by the presence of gear oil
around the leak point. If leakage is not evident, the
condition is probably the result of an underfill condi
tion.
If air powered lubrication equipment is used to fill
a transmission, be sure the equipment is properly
calibrated. Equipment out of calibration can lead to
an underfill condition.

Pressure Regulation
The pressure regulator valve maintains transmis

OVERHAUL SERVICE INFORMATION
Inspect the transmission bushings during overhaul.
Bushing condition is important as worn, scored bush
ings contribute to low pressures, clutch slip and ac
celerated wear of other components. However, do not
replcae bushings as a m a t t e r of course. Replace bush
ings only when they are actually worn, or scored.
Use recommended tools to replace bushings. The
tools are sized and designed to remove, install, and
seat bushings correctly. The bushing replacement
tools are included in Bushing Tool Set C-3887-B.
Pre-sized service bushings are available for re
placement purposes. Only the sun gear bushings are
not serviced. Low cost of the sun gear assembly
makes it easier to simply replace the gear and bush

must be made from lint free material. Lint will stick
to transmission parts and could interfere with valve
operation, or even restrict fluid passages.
Lubricate the transmission components with Mopar
transmission fluid during reassembly. Use petroleum
jelly, Door Eze, or Ru-Glyde 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 not use 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

Use Ru-Glyde, Door-Eze, or petroleum jelly on
seals and O-rings to ease installation. Petroleum
jelly can also be used to hold thrust washers and
plates in position during assembly operations. How
ever, d o not use chassis grease, bearing grease,
white grease, or similar lubricants on any part.
These types of lubricants can eventually block or re

SERVICE DIAGNOSIS
The most frequent causes of transfer case malfunc

• improper operation
• insufficient lubricant
• non-recommended lubricant
• misadjusted shift linkage
• improper assembly after repair.
The general problems and causes of transfer case
malfunctions are outlined below.

TRANSFER CASE ASSEMBLY
Lubricate the transfer case gears and shafts with
gear oil during assembly. Use petroleum jelly to pre-
lubricate and hold bearings in place during installa
tion.
Use new gaskets and seals throughout. Do not re
use these components. Replace snap rings if distorted
or damaged and use new yoke locknuts to secure the
yoke and flange.
(1) Install bearing cups in idler gear with shop
press (Fig. 10).
(2) Assemble idler gear, gear bearing cones, bear
ing spacer and shims on Shaft Tool DD1272 (Fig. 10).
(3) Check gear end play (Fig. 10). End play should
be 0.000 to 0.05 mm (0.000 to 0.002 in.). Add or re
move shims as needed to adjust end play.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The NP241 is a part-time transfer case with a low-
range gear system. It has three operating ranges
plus a Neutral position. The low range system pro
vides a gear reduction ratio for increased low speed
torque capability. NP241 operating ranges are:
2-high, 4-high and 4-low.
The NP241 has an aluminum, two-piece gear case.
Drive sprockets and an interconnecting drive chain
are used to transmit engine torque to the propeller
shafts.
Four-wheel high and low ranges are undifferenti
ated. The transfer case is not designed for continuous
operation in 4WD range on hard or paved surfaces.
Four wheel drive ranges are recommended for off
road operation, or on snow covered or similar low Fig. 1 NP 241 Transfer Case

TIRE NOISE OR VIBRATION

The radial-ply tire on your vehicle is more sensi
tive to improper mounting, or imbalance.
To determine if tires are the cause of vibration,
drive the vehicle over a smooth road at different
speeds. Note the effect of acceleration and decelera
tion on noise level. Differential and exhaust noise
will change in intensity as speed varies. Tire noise
will usually remain constant.

larged nose. This enlarged nose is necessary to en
sure proper retention of the aluminum wheels.
Before installing the wheel, be sure to remove any
build up of corrosion on the wheel mounting surfaces.
Ensure wheels are installed with good metal-to-metal
contact. Improper installation could cause loosening
of wheel nuts. This could affect the safety and han
dling of your vehicle.
To install the wheel, first position it properly on
the mounting surface. All wheel nuts should then be
tightened just snug. Gradually tighten them in se
quence to 129 N-m (95 ft. lbs.) torque (Fig. 3, 4).
Never u s e oil or grease on studs or nuts.

Initial inflation of the tire forces the bead over
