Ram Trucks 2015 Chassis Cab Commercial - Diesel Supplement - Manual (Page 10)

A MESSAGE FROM CHRYSLER GROUP LLC
Chrysler Group LLC welcomes you as a turbocharged
diesel-powered truck owner. Your diesel truck will sound,
feel, drive, and operate differently from a gasoline-
powered truck. It is important that you read and under-
stand this manual.
Almost 100% of the heavy trucks in the United States and
Canada are diesel-powered because of the fuel economy,
rugged durability, and high torque which permits pulling
heavy loads.
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.
NOTE:
• Some aftermarket products may cause severe engine/
transmission and/or exhaust system damage. Your ve-
hicle’s Powertrain Control Systems can detect and store
information about vehicle modifications that increase
horsepower and torque output such as whether or not
performance-enhancing powertrain components, com-
monly referred to as downloaders, power boxes, or
performance chips have been used.
• Any chassis/suspension or tire size modifications to the
vehicle will effect the performance of the Adaptive
Cruise Control and Forward Collision Warning System.
