Supercharger Replacement





Supercharger Replacement

Removal Procedure

Caution: Remove the fuel tank cap and relieve the fuel system pressure before servicing the fuel system in order to reduce the risk of personal injury. After you relieve the fuel system pressure, a small amount of fuel may be released when servicing the fuel lines, the fuel injection pump, or the connections. In order to reduce the risk of personal injury, cover the fuel system components with a shop towel before disconnection. This will catch any fuel that may leak out. Place the towel in an approved container when the disconnection is complete.

Notice: Servicing of the supercharger unit itself is limited to replacement only. No attempt should be made to disassemble the supercharger, as parts damage may result.

1. Disconnect the battery ground (negative) cable.
2. Remove the fuel injector sight shield. Refer to Engine Cover Replacement Service and Repair.






3. Remove the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve heat shield.
4. Depressurize the fuel system. Refer to Fuel Pressure Relief Service and Repair.

5. Loosely install the supercharger right bolts.






6. Loosely install the supercharger left bolts.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

7. Install the supercharger bolts.
